House Republicans are investigating the deaths of Americans in Benghazi all over again. Is it all about politics? Will there be any time left for Congress to address the economy, immigration reform and other issues until this year's elections are over? Also, pro-Russian Eastern Ukraine separatists declare independence. On today's Talking Point, will the Pentagon lift the ban on transgender soldiers?
