You mean the other faux scandal where a full FBI investigation found zero evidence of "enemy hunting"? At the very least, one doesn't take advantage of 4 American deaths. More than 2 thousand died on 9/11/2001 under Bush's watch. Could you imagine the number of Senate investigations if Gore was president?
Mr Podiska is filing a lawsuit against Gowdy and the House Select Committee for wrongful termination. GOP Whistleblower Reveals Benghazi Investigation Is “Partisan Investigation” Of Clinton Podiska told CNN, “I am going to vote for the Republican nominee in 2016. I do not support Hillary Clinton for president.” But says he had to break his silence because, “at the end of the day I need to live with myself.”
Wow - this deserves it's own thread. People will lose jobs over this and there could be jail time if true. Huge Scandal for the GOP. And it's criminal if it true.
There's no scandal in fabricating fake scandal. Left hand washes disfigured lame hand. Business as usual. The email controversy does more to divide liberal partisans as it calls forth Hillary's authenticity, sincerity and transparency This b.s. Is clickbait for radio listeners and paranoid schizos who jump at any trigger of a criminal government that doesn't justify their ends.
Well it's a scandal to violate the law in the pursuit of derailing the other's party's presidential aims. I guess you think Watergate wasn't a scandal.
While it may get overblown as a scandal, I do think it's criminal that our "elected" (bought) officials waste so much taxpayer money playing games and expressing fake outrage just to ensure they are "elected" (bought) in the next cycle or so that the other "team" does not get elected (bought). It's very frustrating, given the number of serious issues they could all be working on (if we assume they even have the skills or brain-power for any real work, which is legitimately open to question these days).
I thought it's standard, STANDARD, that ALL public congressional investigations tend toward politics.
I remember the Starr investigations which amounted nothing more than Clinton (Bill) getting caught perjuring himself to said investigator yet all the other claims and charges the republicans dreamed up and still swear by to this day amounted to squat. I echo Bob's frustration, but maybe I'm too cynical to think the block of gerrymandered minions will change anytime soon. I also think the underlying modus operandi for the Republican Party is set up for inept and overtly mercenary civil servants which validates their claims of broken government in a sick and dysfunctional way. God's Will b****es. Hallelujah!
It's a dark and cynical place...Washington that is. But in all seriousness - if they indeed fired someone for serving as a reservist - it is a major scandal. When congressional members violate the law, that's a huge deal, particularly for political purposes.
Highly doubt he'll win. Unless by win, you mean an all expense paid vacation swimming with the fishes. I keed. I keed

Greta, what a complete joke. I'm sorry, it's completely funny; she's tweeting about the number of interviews who spoke "exclusively" about Hillary Clinton. Who on Earth speaks exclusively one name, with no other names or topics, during any kind of decent interview. And so... that's meaningful because? And that's well-defined as? And that's a useful measure... because you're listing how many of your interviews were with... lobotomized mental patients? Okay, thanks, Greta! Mixing laughter and lamentations at the state of our media. Lawd have mercy on us all.
