The idea that the Republicans on the Benghazi committee have access to damning information that could destroy Hillary Clinton and aren't persuing it seemed ludicrous to me. A lot of Republicans may be stupid, but if they catch a whiff of Clinton scandal anywhere, they will surely keep digging.

But today something dawned on me: If they have info that could take Hillary down right now, why wouldn't they wait until she has secured the Democratic nomination, especially if they are beginning to realize that Bernie is the candidate who will fire up the progressive base of the party. Democrats will be up shit creek without a paddle if they sit on this until she is the nominee.
