Capehart: Benghazi and E-mail Scandal ‘Used for Political Purposes to Damage Hillary’

‘Let’s not forget, the House Majority leader said on camera that the purpose of this was to drag down her poll numbers’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT: 
BRZEZINSKI: "Jonathan Capehart is liar really — I mean, I don’t think that’s the word necessarily, Elise."
CAPEHART: "Oh, no, that’s the word. That’s the word a lot of people think when they think of Hillary Clinton. But can I just say this? Can we not forget that former secretary of state Hillary Clinton testified for, what, 12, 13 hours before the special select committee on Benghazi? That was the opportunity for Congress, the opportunity for Republicans, the opportunity for the RNC to press the former secretary pretty aggressively on what she did or didn’t do during Benghazi and instead wasted that opportunity. And she handled it very well. We can not look at this in isolation. It’s not just that Hillary Clinton used e-mail or didn’t use e-mail. It’s how Benghazi and the e-mail situation has been used for political purposes to damage Hillary Clinton and let’s not forget, the house majority leader said on camera that the purpose of this was to drag down her poll numbers."
