“Chris, I think it’s a colossal waste of time. We’ve had four bipartisan investigations of this already, and I think it’s driven by a couple of things. The Republican conference is so fractured, there’s really only two things they agree on: they don’t like Obamacare… and they do like talking about Benghazi, so we’ve had four investigations on that. But I don’t think it makes sense, really, for Democrats to participate. I think it’s just a tremendous red herring and a waste of taxpayer resources, so I hope the speaker will reconsider, but it looks like he has bowed again to those from the farthest right of his conference. … I don’t think it makes sense for us to give this select committee any more credibility than it deserves, and frankly, I don’t think it deserves very much.”
It is a colossal waste of time, effort, and energy. But as long as reality denies the Republicans what they want to hear, they’ll continue pushing the issue — until they’re thrown out of office, anyway.
