Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-Ohio) on Monday evening announced that he is reappointing Republican Trey Gowdy of South Carolina to head the Select Committee on Benghazi next Congress.
The problem, however, is that by doing so, Boehner named a chairman to a panel that does not yet exist. Because the Benghazi committee is select and not permanent, the House will have to vote again to re-create it when Congress returns for a new session in January.
What do you do if a Republican-led committee clears the administration of wrongdoing in Benghazi? You create another Benghazi committee. You keep creating those committees until you get the results you want. And, if you never get the results you want, you keep this issue on top of other issues like the economy. Jeez!! Talk about Congress "going off the rails on a crazy train" (Thanx, Ozzy).
