Democrats are using comments from Rep. Kevin McCarthy in an attempt to completely discredit the House Benghazi Committee, and there’s good reason Hillary supporters wish the committee would disappear.
Back in May, the New York Times reported about longtime Clinton adviser Sidney Blumenthal’s interest in Libya:
Mr. Gowdy’s chief interest, according to people briefed on the inquiry, is a series of memos that Mr. Blumenthal — who was not an employee of the State Department — wrote to Mrs. Clinton about events unfolding in Libya before and after the death of Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi. According to emails obtained by The New York Times, Mrs. Clinton, who was secretary of state at the time, took Mr. Blumenthal’s advice seriously, forwarding his memos to senior diplomatic officials in Libya and Washington and at times asking them to respond. Mrs. Clinton continued to pass around his memos even after other senior diplomats concluded that Mr. Blumenthal’s assessments were often unreliable.
What motivated Sidney Blumenthal’s interest in Libya that had him in frequent contact with then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton?

It gets worse:
In one unsecure email from Blumenthal to Clinton, he appears to name a top CIA source in Libya. (Committee redacted this info). #Benghazi

It’s becoming even clearer why the FBI’s investigation remains in full swing.

@stephenfhayes of course he was, just the tip of the iceberg here.

But it's all just a political charade so let's ignore the damaging revelations that the committee brings to light. https://t.co/q9oemIdAbR

How many times can @HillaryClinton be bought or rented before she's too skanked up even for them? https://t.co/BZc7VSZefl

@stephenfhayes Seeking Blumenthal biz or Clinton biz ? the lines are always blurred.

Blurring the lines is a Clinton specialty.
