BENGHAZI INVESTIGATOR'S BOMBSHELL!!! reveals something everyone already knew

The Great Unravelling continues (from The New York Times):

A former investigator for the Republicans on the House Select Committee on Benghazi plans to file a complaint in federal court next month alleging that he was fired unlawfully in part because his superiors opposed his efforts to conduct a comprehensive investigation into the 2012 attack on the American diplomatic mission in the Libyan city. Instead, they focused primarily on the role of the State Department and former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, he said.

This latest GOP scandal began in earnest when House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy confessed that the purpose of the Select Committee on Benghaaazi! is to go after Hillary Clinton politically. McCarthy's gaffe ultimately helped end his quest to become Speaker and thus contributed to the creation of the power vacuum in the GOP-controlled House.

What I love about this particular Benghaaazi! scandal is that everyone knew from the very beginning that the purpose of the Select Committee was to bring down Hillary Clinton.  The media, however, did little if anything to report on this obvious political witch hunt, which allowed the GOP efforts along these lines to acquire some legitimacy.  Then, when the whole Benghaaazi! shithouse began to come down a couple weeks ago, everyone in the Press started acting like McCarthy's confession constituted some earth-shattering revelation.

I'm usually critical of the press on stuff like this, but not now. The Corporate Media's long-term laziness on the Benghaaazi! story actually worked to give the Republicans more rope with which to hang themselves, and thus helped contribute to the current chaos within the GOP's ranks.  The big question is:  What the hell do we call this scandal?  Benghazi-Gate seems to be taken already by the radical right to describe Hillary's "involvement" in all this.  "BenghaziGate-Gate" certainly describes the GOP wrongdoing in this situation, but is probably too repetitive to catch on.

UPDATE:  Maj. Bradley Podliska, the aforementioned former Benghaaazi! investigator who plans to sue the Select Committee, perhaps does have something new to add to this story:

Podliska, who said he was reprimanded for using his work email to invite colleagues to a nonwork event, said there was an "Animal House" atmosphere at the committee, but he was not part of it.  He described to CNN an office environment in which employees spent their days Web surfing and sometimes drinking at work. He said staffers joined a “gun buying club” for “chrome-plated, monogrammed, Tiffany-style Glock 9-millimeters,” and some would spend hours at a time at work designing the personalized weapons.

Of course, none of this surprises me -- given that I, along with everyone else, knew from the start that the Benghaaazi! Select Committee was a sham -- but it does benefit from the fact that we had never heard it before.
