Harry Reid: Let's face it, the GOP is pursuing Benghazi because of Hillary and 2016

“I think most everyone knows if [Hillary Clinton] wants to run for President, she’s going to get that nomination,” he told a small group of reporters during a roundtable discussion in his Capitol suite Wednesday afternoon.

Reid called the (potential) primary while contextualizing the GOP’s obsession with the administration’s messaging in the aftermath of a terrorist attack on a U.S. facility in Benghazi last year.

“To keep going over this thing, day after day, on things that have been in the public record for months and months, it’s obvious that it’s an attempt to embarrass President Obama and to embarrass Hillary Clinton,” Reid said, before assessing the Democratic primary field.
