Ex-Benghazi Investigator Says U.S. Panel Targeted Clinton

http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/5619dbf9e4b0082030a2e6ce

WASHINGTON, Oct 10 (Reuters) - A former investigator for the House of Representatives Select Committee on Benghazi is accusing the Republican-led panel of targeting Democrat Hillary Clinton to scupper her presidential bid, the New York Times and CNN reported on Saturday.

They said Major Bradley Podliska, an intelligence officer in the Air Force Reserve on active duty in Germany, alleged that he was fired for resisting pressure to focus his investigation into the 2012 attack on the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi on Clinton's role. They said he planned to file a complaint in federal court next month.

"These are explosive allegations," Clinton campaign spokesman Brian Fallon said in a statement. "This Republican whistleblower's account from inside the Benghazi Committee may provide the most definitive proof to date that this taxpayer-funded investigation has been a partisan sham from the start."

The committee on Saturday strongly denied the media reports.

Anyone with a working brain already knows this was a republican (and Fox) operation to smear Clinton.

My spouse says I give people too much credit. He's right in this case. Some were only too happy to pile on. However, it did make me more determined to support her. Go figure. Guess I didn't like them kicking her around.
