Benghazi Spooks GOP Leaders
While Benghazi has overtaken Obamacare as the GOP’s favorite talking point, Eli Lake reports that it’s not just Democrats who are opposed to a new select committee looking into the 2012 attack. Many top Republicans, including House intelligence committee chairman Mike Rogers, believe the committee could backfire big time.

Contrary to the caricature of Republicans, as singularly obsessed for political reasons with Benghazi, the reality is quite different. There is deep unease within the Republican leadership that the select committee, which has yet to announce a schedule of hearings, could backfire, and badly. Investigate and find nothing new, and the committee looks like a bunch of tin-hatted obsessives. Investigate and uncover previously-hidden secrets, and it makes all of the other Republican led panels that dug into Benghazi seem like Keystone Kops.
Three Republican sources tell The Daily Beast that the chairmen of the House Intelligence, Armed Services, and Government Reform committees—Reps. Rogers, Buck McKeon, and Darrell Issa, respectively—all opposed the formation of a select committee on Benghazi. All three men have led their own investigations into the matter.
