OK, if you take what he said literally it was obviously correct but I was referring to how it has been presented to the public.  If you take what he said as it is being presented and spun by the media and Hillary's campaign it is completely false.  His words have been twisted to imply that the only purpose of the investigations and hearings was to damage Hillary.  That is false.  The purpose of the hearings was to figure out exactly what happened when our ambassador and three other Americans were sodimized and strangled by Islamic militants.  The original reason that Hillary and others in the government stated for the attack, a spontaneous reaction to some obscure video trailer that no one had even seen or heard of was proven to have been an abject and unmitigated lie that they repeated often for political gain. That deserves and investigation. There was plenty of evidence that requests for additional security were turned down.  That deserves an investigation. And so on and so on that all justified an investigation.  Unless you no longer believe in the separation of powers and are willing to grant the executive branch monarchal status, this is a legitimate role of Congress and one that Democrats used on a constant basis during GOP administrations.  That it has morphed into other areas is entirely the fault of Clinton for lying and violating the law by having a private server that she used exclusively for government business in order to avoid exaclty this kind of scrutiny.

I can't even believe I have to point all this out as it is so blatanly obvious.  Hillary has no one but herself to blame for the political damage done as a result of all this.  And if you think we would have learned about all these lies and illegal use of a private email server and her hiding important evidence related to Benghazi if Democrats contolled the House you are delusional.  That is the point that McCarthy was making and it is entirely correct.  The party line from the media and the Clinton campaign are demonstrabluy false.  And McCarthy's stupid comment and the way he stated it gave them an easy avenue to spin it exactly the way they did and hence, so long Speakership and rightly so.
