Jig’s Benghazi inquiry exposed as partisan push
The Benghazi Select Committee is described as a taxpayer funded opposition group aimed at stopping Hillary Clinton from becoming president. After seven investigations and 13 hearings, the panel is portrayed as a long running partisan effort funded for 72 months and $4.5 million, with McCarthy and Hannity revealing the goal to hurt Clinton. The piece argues the inquiry shifted from seeking truth to politically damaging Clinton, comparing it to past political prosecutions and calling for a stand down order to end the investigation.
