Sen. Ted Cruz asked for unanimous consent to move forward with a resolution to establish a joint select committee for investigating the 2012 Benghazi terrorist attack. Senator Barbara Boxer from the crumbling state of California objected to the resolution … and then had the nerve to rail against partisanship.

As Cruz noted, there’s a little something called “the truth” and it’s not partisan.
Truth is not partisan. Why are Sen. Boxer & Senate Dems afraid to find out the truth about #Benghazi? http://t.co/pA4ryA1sXw

Why might Boxer object to an investigation that might damage Hillary Clinton in the long run up to the 2016 election?
.@SenatorBoxer says she walked out "infuriated" when she heard Rand Paul's attacks on Sec. Clinton today #PoliticsNation

Remember when Ma’am Boxer used a Benghazi hearing to soft-launch Hillary’s 2016 campaign?
@SenatorBoxer goes 2016 saying to Clinton she will be missed but hopefully "not for long"

Nah, that couldn’t be it.
