SALON

The House Select Committee on Benghazi has gone through its share of indignities over the past few weeks. Its claims to fairness and impartiality were sullied by wild-eyed and overly ambitious partisan actors in Congress, its credibility has been undermined by a disgruntled whistleblower, and press examinations of the committee’s activities showed it to be slow-moving and predominantly political in nature. The long-running investigation is struggling to deal with the one thing it had hoped to avoid: scrutiny. But there’s one casualty of the Benghazi committee’s political reckoning that, until now, had gone unnoticed: chairman Trey Gowdy’s feelings.
