Rep. Steny Hoyer weighed in on the appointments:
Rep. Steny Hoyer on why D’s are participating in #Benghazi panel: “We shouldn’t leave the playing field without having our people there.”

Oh really, Congressman? Is that so?
@BretBaier That's an extremely poor choice of words based on what we know about Benghazi.

No kidding. Tweeters couldn’t help but notice Rep. Hoyer’s stunning obtuseness:

Leaving “our people” to die at murderers’ hands is exactly what the State Department did.

@SeanGHiggins No problem leaving them in #Benghazi @BretBaier

@BretBaier We should not have left the killing fields in Benghazi either.

@BretBaier They left the field when they deserted our men in Benghazi.

Bingo.
Oh, and as far as the “playing field” is concerned:
And therein lies the sad truth, @BretBaier: they consider it a game!

This isn’t a game, Rep. Hoyer.
@BretBaier Maybe that's problem, he sees playing field. There is no playing here-4 deaths weren't game. Your "people" weren't there for them
