H has nothing to answer for in regards to the Benghazi accusations. This was a purely partisan attack.

I loved how Grayson just disassembled it.

Alan Grayson Ready And Willing To Serve On Benghazi Panel

By Amanda Terkel - Posted: 05/16/2014 12:14 pm EDT

WASHINGTON -- Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) is willing to serve on the committee established by House Republicans to investigate the 2012 attacks in Benghazi, Libya, a prospect that is likely causing heartburn for the GOP.

In an interview with SiriusXM host Ari Rabin-Havt Friday morning, Grayson said he has actually already talked to House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and expressed his interest.

"I've said, if she decides to have Democratic members participate, I'd like to be one of them," he said.

The advocacy group Credo Mobile has launched a petition asking Pelosi to appoint Grayson as the one and only Democratic member of the Benghazi committee. The effort has already attracted nearly 20,000 supporters in just two days.

Pelosi's office said it does not have any updates on the status of the Benghazi appointments.

In his interview on Friday, Grayson said Republicans were focusing on Benghazi simply to avoid talking about more important issues.

"They still think that there's some political gain to be gotten here because they don't want to talk about unemployment, they have no answers," he said. "They don't want to talk about health care, they have no answers. They don't want to talk about education, or housing, or benefits, or pensions, or anything that is real in the lives of the American people. They have no answers. So instead, what they do is they try to embarrass the administration over and over again. Instead what they do is embarrass themselves."

Which is why he appeals to my sense of compassion and deductive logic whenever he speaks.

But you won't find any of this 4 minute smack down crossing the eyes nor ears of any Republis. They don't want to hear plain old common sense. They want, no, they NEED dirt to maintain their complacent dreamworld alternate reality brainwashing dosages of Faux Noise propaganda.
