Conservatives have been skewered for the failure of the Benghazi Committee to paint Hillary into a corner, particularly by GOP frontrunner Donald Trump. Many saw the Hillary interview as an opportunity to paint Hillary into a corner and elicit some sort of smoking gun confession, not realizing that the Clintons are where they are in large part due to their ability to navigate scandal. Nevermind that. For those who were zealously pursuing justice, it was chalked up as a loss.
But it’s not over, and this week, none other than General David Petraeus heaped praise on the work of the committee:
While liberal pundits and politicians continue to try and delegitimize the work of the Benghazi Select Committee by claiming it has political motives, witnesses who have testified before the panel admit the committee members are professional and they have the right priorities in mind.
Latest case in point: David Petraeus.
Petraeus, the former director of the CIA, testified before the committee Wednesday afternoon. Upon exiting the hearing, he told reporters that the meeting was “very constructive.”
Likewise, Hillary Clinton’s chief of staff Cheryl Mills complimented the committee on their “professionalism” and thanked them for treating her with respect during her day’s testimony this fall.
Yet, despite such positive feedback, Democrats, even ones participating on the panel like Elijah Cummings, continue to dismiss the investigation as a “charade.”
Jumping on House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s unfortunate suggestion this September that the Benghazi committee was created to bring down Clinton’s poll numbers, liberals like Cummings have insisted the investigation is a politically motivated waste of taxpayers’ time and money.
Yet, as you’ll see in exclusive Townhall interviews with the secret soldiers of Benghazi, answers still linger as to why they were told to stand down as Americans, including our U.S. ambassador, were under fire at the U.S. consulate. Former members of the Obama administration like Defense Secretary Leon Panetta claim no such orders were given, but the security contractors who were there on the ground tell a much different story.
As the saying goes, “it ain’t over til i’ts over.”
