McCarthy Admits Benghazi Designed to Flatten Hillary Poll Numbers

[kaz]

So now we know why Republicans spent $20 Million dollars, to affect the poll numbers of a Democratic front runner for the party's nomination.




Current House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) told Fox News host Sean Hannity during an interview on Monday night that the Select Committee, chaired by Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) that Clinton’s dropping poll numbers are evidence of the effectiveness of the committee.

McCarthy, who is reportedly running to take over for recently deposed House Speaker John Boehner, told Hannity:

“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.”

There you go, now Republicans can start by paying back that $20 million in wasted public money. What scum.

He said people should know what Hillary did. What's wrong with that exactly? You'd totally do the same in reverse. Frankly, I like exposing all the corrupt politicians in both parties, and there are a lot of them in both parties

I like Elijah Cummings response:

“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.”

Again, he said Republicans thought people should know what she did. Your claim that Democrats would not have spent money to ensure the public knows what Republicans did is frankly laughable. Don't you have any intellectual integrity at all?

He said there should have been a fair examination of the facts...there never was.

I see, so now you're assigning what he should have said to him. You and the Republicans are in an endless stupid game of gotcha. Your concern for facts in investigations like Joe Wilson was zero, it was a witch hunt. It was the lamest controversy ever. But now you want fair. You and the Republicans deserve each other

When are you going to get it? It was a fraud, a lie perpetrated to damage a candidate.

Make sure you let Stevens' family and the families of the other 3 Americans Obama and Hillary let die know this, you callous, partisan douche!

Oh he could care less about those dead men.

The supposed attack on Hillbat is way more important that four dead men.

 

[Sallow]

WTF you talking about?

Keep up..I know it's hard for Liberals...but at least try.

Try what?

This is the EXACT QUOTE from McCarthy. For like the millionth time:

Everybody thought Hillary Clinton was unbeatable, right? But we put together a Benghazi special committee, a select committee.

It's in English too.

the election hasnt happened yet idiot; and it is YOU who say she is still basically a shoe-in,.

so how can this republican have meant she was unbeatable IN AN ELECTION????

OH THAT'S RIGHT; it's just the talking point your masters told you to repeat today


idiots and hypocrites

(in English too!!)

Not sure if you are getting this, but McCarthy DIRECTLY and PLAINLY stated that the Benghazi commission was put together to crater her numbers.

I don't know how much more clear it has to be.

This sort of behavior SHOULD be illegal.

Not sure why McCarthy is still in office.

You democrats are not Americans. This is more democrat political bullshit. The discussion was about whether the recently elected repubs were doing what they were elected for including pursuing the truth on Benghazi that obama and HR Haldeman Clinton have been deflecting from like the criminals they are.
This is a very weak and typically dishonest attempt to discredit opponents of the corrupt psychopaths obama and HR Haldeman Clinton.
The OP is a partisan phony.

Except the small part about....no proof or even likelihood that Hillary or Obama did anything wrong with regard to Benghazi....so you're saying it's a blatant witch hunt.

Basically, except this is a witch hunt that accuses anyone of seeing there is no proof of being against America. You know thats when they have nothing when they attempt to shame you into siding with their accusations

Answering you would be like stealing a parking place from a handicapped person. You know, just not right. I wish you the best of luck in the emotional and social struggles that seem to be placing such a heavy demand on you.

If the GOP had been in office when this happened, the situation would be precisely reversed: The Dems righteously indignant with transparent outrage, and the GOP saying it's not that big a deal. One side senses weakness to exploit, the other side defends. Over and over and over.

Just the latest example of the intellectual dishonesty that continues to pollute our politics.
.

The "reverse" DID actually happen.

There weren't multiple investigations in to some really amazingly bad intelligence failures.

There weren't multiple investigations into embassy attacks.

And there wasn't any attempt by Democratic Presidential candidates to affix blame to their opponent for these breaches.

Not sure if you are getting this, but McCarthy DIRECTLY and PLAINLY stated that the Benghazi commission was put together to crater her numbers.

I took the EXACT words you posted earlier - supposedly McCarthy's words, and NOWHERE does he say that in the quote you posted. I am absolutely getting what you posted....perhaps there is more to that quote that you posted, more you want to share?

If NOT, you still fail to prove this. Please feel free to post it. in the meantime, McCarthy does not speak for the Investigation...that would be Gowdy. Nothing you have posted (or can) changes all the evidence of criminal, unethical, and corrupt behavior that has already been proven.

More is expected to be found by the FBI who are currently engaged in recovering Hillary files she said never existed and tried to delet from hard drives and server she said never existed yet TRIED un-successfully to wipe clean.

Nope, Republicans have already said this was about damaging a candidate. That means that the whole episode was a charade, nothing mattered except hurting Hillary Clinton.

NO, the reverse NEVER happened. Not even close. Bush never ignored threats against US Embassies and against US Ambassadors, never hired Al Qaeida to protect an Ambassador ,never modified CIA documents to eliminate all references to 'terrorism' in regards to the 26 Embassy attacks you mentioned, never conspired to deceive the American people, never sent his admin people to lie about false reasons for the attacks and make excuses about how what happened was not his fault, never arrested an American for exercising their free speech and blamed them for the attacks, never declared to the world 'The world must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam', and sure as hell never wrote in any book of his that if the 'political winds turn ugly I will stand with Muslims'!

You are COMPLETELY and UTTERLY WRONG.

The event was an abject failure of duty. Criminal? Perhaps no, but a major failure nonetheless.
The ensuing coverup and lies about a video, criminal? Perhaps not, but a major character flaw. These two are lying psychopaths. And they have a corrupt media helping them along. If you think that is all OK you are part of the problem.

The investigation is all about the weeds. The reality of the incident and its subsequent coverup expose the ineptitude and corruption of this admin. And those who defend them expose their own corruption and hypocrisy.

Thank you for demonstrating again how Liberals have no comprehension of the English language and do not understand that WORDS MATTER.

You and others have declared that McCarthy, one man, opined that the investigation was/is all about hurting Hillary. NOW you are declaring 'REPUBLICANS' - as in plural, as in ALL - have said that, which is obviously FALSE

Without continuing to 'move the goal posts' and lie you have nothing. You would be more believable if you were able to communicate better.

I understand how you are outraged by Democrats calling you on your now revealed culpability in a crime, I would be angry too. But McCarthy isn't JUST a man he is the number two man in the Republican held Congress, running for Speaker of the House. What he says has gristle and he is going to be held accountable for it as will his party. Perhaps if you would put a stop to incompetents advancing in your party you could get a handle on this problem.

Hardly, I saw a trollish response and I replied in kind.

 

[ThoughtCrimes]

Four Americans died in Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi. Tragic as the loss of those four may be, they were simply a few more of the casualties of warfare.

1. Libtards declare the GOP did not care about these 4 even though they were allowed to be murdered on THEIR watch...and then we see them hypocritically declare stuff like this above: '4 Americans died, move along, nothing to see...

2. You claim they were 'victims of war'. WHAT WAR? Didn't you hear Obama weeks earlier? "Al Qaida is on the Run"..."The War on Terror is Over"! He had just taken the war on his own, without Constitutional approval to do so, to help Al Qaeida take over Libya...even THAT war was over. They were our 'buddies' - Obama and Hillary even hired an Al Qaeida-associated militia to PROTECT Stevens!

All of this is just a massive demonstration of how Obama was/is either stupid or allowed this to happen because he has always been and will always be an Islamic Sympathizer!

Are you too poor to pay attention to details? There was a de facto civil war going on in Libya between the newly formed government and warring militias both pro and con US. That was the ongoing conflict cowboy Stevens set down in the middle of and got himself and three others killed. Those 4 never should have been at the US Mission in Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi.

Your mischaracterization of my post displays the depth of your repugnance to truth and your allegiance to right wing fascist propaganda! Despicable!

who did stevens work for leftard? .....................right-wing fascists or obama??

who sent him to Benghazi?

What does who was who doing to who shot John have to do with my response to another? Even YOU chimed in on another post asking/pretending you had no knowledge of a conflict in Libya when Stevens, et al, were killed! I responded to the other poster, and you piggyback it and raise asinine and utterly stupid off topic questions! The conflict then and there was well publicized!

Stephens himself informed State in June 2012 of an increase in attacks in Libya, “targeting international organizations and foreign interests.” He noted an attack that month on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, where a homemade bomb ripped a hole in a security wall."
< Ambassador Stevens warned of Islamic extremism before Benghazi consulate attack >

Cowboy Stevens could have left the US Mission any time and he also turned down security assistance twice before 9/11/2012. Those were HIS decisions and he still owns them, dead or not!

Now go formulate your feces, dipstick, and quit taking out your brain and playing with it!
