Benghazi, the IRS and the Business of Government
Did the Obama White House cover up the real reason four Americans were killed in Benghazi in September, 2012? Did an IRS official conduct a political witch hunt? During 13 hearings by four committees over the past year, Congress has accumulated 25,000 pages of documents and testimony.

During 13 hearings by four committees over the past year, Congress has accumulated 25,000 pages of documents and testimony. Last week, insisting that Americans want to know the answers, House Speaker John Boehner appointed seven fellow Republicans to a special committee to conduct further investigation. Democrats claim the GOP's conducting a witch hunt of its own, using old news to raise money and motivate voters in this election year — and even in 2016. Will Hillary Clinton be tarnished? Will the IRS face a special prosecutor? Will serious business take a backseat to politics from now until November?
