Speaker- in- waiting Rep. Kevin "I'm Not A Pod Person!" McCarthy (R-CA) is already showing signs that he may be a source of unintended honesty. Here's dimbulb McCarthy yesterday blurting out the real reason for the endless Benghazi!!! "investigations:"
“Everybody thought Hillary Clinton was unbeatable right? But we put together a Benghazi Special Committee, a select committee. What are her numbers today? Her numbers are dropping," McCarthy said. "Why? Cause she’s untrustable. But no one would have known any of that had happened had we not fought and made that happen.”The response from Hillary Clinton's press secretary:
Speaker-in-waiting confesses what the true goal of taxpayer-funded Benghazi Commitee is. https://t.co/62NgqyGpBE

Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD), the ranking member of the Benghazi!!! committee, had this to say:
“This stunning concession from Rep. McCarthy reveals the truth that Republicans never dared admit in public: the core Republican goal in establishing the Benghazi Committee was always to damage Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign and never to conduct an even-handed search for the facts. It is shameful that Republicans have used this tragedy and the deaths of our fellow Americans for political gain. Republicans have blatantly abused their authority in Congress by spending more than $4.5 million in taxpayer funds to pay for a political campaign against Hillary Clinton.”Only fools (and the Clinton- hating Beltway media) would view the "investigation" as a straight- forward seeking of the truth. Now that McCarthy has publicly acknowledged what every sentient person knows already, it's going to be even harder to treat this as anything but the charade it is. But count on the media to continue to look for ways to abet the Republican nihilists.
