Representative Nancy Pelosi of California on Wednesday appointed a full slate of senior House Democrats to a special committee investigating the 2012 attack on the diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, surprising some in her party by giving legitimacy to an inquiry many had dismissed as a political stunt.
Ms. Pelosi conceded that congressional Democrats were divided on the wisdom of the move, but argued that by participating, Democrats could influence the direction of the investigation and get access to documents and other evidence.
You're wrong MMC, Rep. Elijah Cummings is a good guy and your attempt to say he had something to do with targeting conservatives is BS.Heya UWS :2wave: Yeah.....and after the Demos big Powwow. After all that grandstanding and hoopla of they weren't going to be part of it. They decide that the Political fall out is to Big to allow the Republicans to be the full discourse.
Although.....the one Surprise is going to be, when they tell Cummings his ass is going to take deposition whther he want to or not. Or he can just put his head on the silver platter and save us a lot of time and energy. :lol:
But really.....Boehner should go back to Pelosi and tell her. No can do with Cummings.....they are going to be putting him thru an Ethics investigation. So he can't be trusted with much that he says out of his mouth. Which we will be spreading that word thru his home district. My hope is.....he don't get a peaceful night of sleep. Until its all over and hes hooked up.

The Democrats chosen were Mr. Cummings, who clashed repeatedly over Benghazi with the chairman of the Oversight Committee, Representative Darrell Issa of California; Adam Smith of Washington, the ranking Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee; Adam B. Schiff of California, a member of the Intelligence Committee; Tammy Duckworth of Illinois, a decorated and severely wounded combat veteran of the Iraq war; and Linda T. Sánchez of California, the ranking Democrat on the Ethics Committee.

the democrats that were selected by Pelosi to be on the commit all had experience in prior inquiries.
none of the republicans chosen to be members of the committee are not experienced in foreign policy or military affairs.
I think its finally sinking in to these slow democrat operatives that this isn't a phony scandal. If not, they will come around.
I doubt this to be the case. I think the democrats selected will simply provide top cover for the administration and if you dare to disagree with them or call them out they will make it be about the GOP attacking a war veteran or women in general, or any issue BUT what they are actually there to investigate. This goatrope goes nowhere.I think its finally sinking in to these slow democrat operatives that this isn't a phony scandal. If not, they will come around.

They've already projected why they are there, and that is to whine, deflect, and basically sabotage the committee.
The theatrics haven't worked up to this point, and I dont think they will help here either.
i guess if there is going to be a honest investigation, better to have a true bipartisan committee and not a one-sided monologue.

Exactly, that's why a committee of 12 has 7 republicans and 5 democrats, no bias there, no sir eeee. :roll:

would you rather have 7 republicans and no democrats be on the committee.
You honestly believe if the roles were reversed, Pelosi would allow 6 Republicans instead of 5?
Doesn't matter what I believe. All we need to do is remember "fair and balanced" "fair and balanced"
if the democrat's only cared about theatrics, the democrats would have just chosen 5 random members of their caucus to be part of the select committee, not 5 members who were ranking members of house committee's, and had participated in other inquiries.
