Another Headline for this could have been "Benghazi takes out US Politician and it isn't Hillary Clinton"
But it was a Sept. 29 interview on Fox News that may have been the final nail in the coffin of McCarthy’s ambitions to become speaker. In it, he suggested that an ongoing House investigation into the deadly September 2012 attack on a diplomatic compound in Libya was motivated by GOP efforts to wound Clinton’s Democratic campaign for president.
“Everybody thought Hillary Clinton was unbeatable, right?” McCarthy said in the Fox interview. “But we put together a Benghazi special committee, a select committee. What are her numbers today? Her numbers are dropping. Why? Because she’s untrustable. But no one would have known that any of that had happened had we not fought.”

@SCPO Eddie blocking people from responding to your posts is juvenile and not conducive to having your worldview challenged..but I suppose that is how you'd like it to me. Since you blocked me there, I'll respond here. No the GOP didn't kill those four people in a vast rightwing conspiracy to tarnish Hillary Clinton. That is quite the stretch there bud. Carry on.

CPT Ahmed Faried This might cause those clowns to actually work together for the good of the nation rather than for their own re-election!
Term limits might help stop this idiocy!

CPT Ahmed Faried Mc Carthy spoke what we already knew that Benghazi investigation was a Soviet style show trial. Merely, Kabuki Theatre. The investigations 7 in total were designed to attack Mrs Clinton during an election year.
