Maryland Rep. Elijah Cummings blew a gasket when he heard there’d be a House select committee to investigate Benghazi. Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-N.Y.) called it “tacky.” Neither Slaughter nor Rep. Alan Grayson, fortunately, will be on the committee to prove “the scandal that never was” never was.
Cummings, though, has been selected by House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi to represent the Democrats on the committee — which she has called “a shameful attempt to politicize the Benghazi tragedy.” At least they’re approaching it with an open mind.

@NancyPelosi @DanteAtkins or – y’know – NOT participate and just repeat “this is a sham and politicizing a tragedy and we won’t dignify it…"

@NancyPelosi What is shameful is your reluctance to get to the truth. Cummings may have to drop out to go to jail -because #IRS. #Benghazi

@NancyPelosi really is too bad that @BarackObama and @HillaryClinton WOULDNT. Now you clowns have to bitch, whine and moan about it.
