I'll be honest, I never paid much attention to the Benghazi story. My take was that the GOP was using it solely for the purpose of having something to discredit Hillary Clinton with, in case she decided to run for President. It happened while she was Secretary of State, so from what I saw, it was a "See what she let happen then tried to cover up!" finger-pointing exercise.
Politics is a mess. It's nothing more than a fight over who gets to keep control over the do-as-little-as-possible DC machine.
On another note, from my Twitter stream, it appears a vote on the debt ceiling will come today/tonight in anticipation of the snowstorm. From what I'm seeing, the GOP has reversed course yet again and will now hold it hostage again.
Who needs good credit standing anyway?
