DNC Chair: GOP Has ‘Admitted’ on National TV the Purpose of the Benghazi Committee Was Political

BASH: "Joining me now is chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Thank you so much for joining me, congresswoman. Actually, before we get to Joe Biden--"
WASSERMAN SCHULTZ: "Thank you, Dana."
BASH: "--I want to start with Benghazi and what we saw this morning Brad Pobliska saying, during an interview with Jake Tapper that he thinks that this investigation has become partisan. But Hillary Clinton still has a lot to explain. Now, the committee insists, I should say, that this PowerPoint presentation that he developed during this investigation was actually highly political. That he is accusing them of what, you know, sort of accusing each other of the same thing. So, I guess it bears the question can he be trusted? What do you think?"
SCHULTZ: "Well, I mean, I think we don't even have to go to Major Pobliska's whistle blower lawsuit to have seen that the true intentions of the creation of the Benghazi Select Committee were revealed on national television by the Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy a little over a week ago when he absolutely unequivocally said that this was a committee that was created and bragged about how it has brought Hillary Clinton's numbers down. I mean, so number one they basically have admitted on national television that the purpose of this select committee was political -- was politically motivated, was partisan witch hunt. And now we have a major in the United States air force who works for the committee, who now believes that he was fired because he refused to go along with the increasingly partisan targeted witch hunt against Hillary Clinton that this select committee clearly has been moving towards and engaged in.So now you have an admission by the people who created the committee and the employee of the committee who, by the way says that he is not only a conservative Republican but intends to vote for the Republican nominee for president and doesn't think that Hillary Clinton should be president. That, to me, [indecipherable] of pretty significant credibility."
