The members of the House Benghazi committee are preparing for Hillary Clinton’s highly awaited Thursday appearance by fighting among themselves about whether or not the CIA told the committee that the name of a certain intelligence source is classified. Which seems like it should be an easy question to answer with, like, transcripts, right? Gonna be a fun time when Hillary shows up. In other news:
