Benghazi-crazy

At least some news venues are not going crazy over the upcoming House Special Committee investigation of Benghazi.    This morning on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," correspondent Chuck Todd said:

"I’ll hear from Republicans that say, ‘But there are unanswered questions!’ Well, no, all the questions have been answeredThere’s just some people that don’t like the answers, that wish the answers were somehow more conspiratorial, I guess."
Todd acknowledged that there are issues of policy and the U. S. response to the Arab Spring that are still worth debating.   But that's not what gets the Republicans excited.   They're still going after the Sunday morning talking points, who wrote them, who changed them, was there a conspiracy to cover up the truth?  He continued:
"But to sit here and investigate talking points seems to be totally missing the larger point here.  It’s like investigating who cut down one tree in a forest that’s been burned down."
Perhaps the best strategy for Democrats is ridicule.
