Anyone know exactly how much was spent on this witch hunt?

Yep, another witch hunt because they didn't get the result they wanted.
What's amazing is they deleted millions of emails, yet see no fault in that, but so desperately want to nail her for this.

You're saying the entire thing wasn't about finding the truth, but instead was a partisan attack designed to use taxpayer dollars to create a digestible narrative and manipulate the American people?
I can't believe the GOP (the righteous avengers of Benghazi) would do such a thing!

The people have spoken. They've said to waste more of their tax dollars and dag gum it, we will do just that..!

They probably will. It wouldn't do enough "damage" if she doesn't testify.

Republicans are really good at taking potentially legitimate criticisms of the Clintons and turning them into a clown show.
Stripped down to its absolute core.... Greed. Even the people who don't consider themselves racist will sure as hell turn a blind eye to it if they think it benefits them. About 45% of the country fall into this ilk, or worse.

Silly Republicans
This is all they have on Clinton, isn't it? Meanwhile Trump is going legitimately crazy for a candidate. Maybe they think that if they can make Clinton a big enough issue, then it'll drown out Trump.

When she testified at the Benghazi hearings, her ratings went up.

That's because they televised it for people to see. They might try to keep this out of the viewing public's eyes.
That doesn't even make sense. So what would be the point then?

How will they find time for this? Don't they still have a few separate Benghazi investigations going?

To show the public that she is again testifying in front of Congress for wrongs. That will be in the headlines.
If you're a committed Republican -- either an elected official or voter -- you've spent the last 25-30 years hearing and reading about how utterly corrupt and conniving the Clintons are. If you had the chance to nail them to the wall for criminal conduct, regardless of what any third-party has to say about it, how could you let that slip through your fingers?
It's the GOP grasping at straws, trying to capitalize on any possible opportunity that arises to finally bring down the Clintons, because they've spent over two decades in an echo chamber convincing themselves that these are two of the most politically toxic people in the country.
No one cares thoough its the same stuff they pull before with little change.

The base they're trying to reach doesn't care if it's televised. If they said "She's totally guilty from what she said" and it wasn't televised, then there will be people that would accept that.
Republicans hate television. Ever since Nixon lost to Kennedy in the first televised debate, it's been their white whale.

you can't put a price on sparks
Benghazi was only the beginning
Can't wait for a movie about emails

So they don't even need her to show up. Just tell Fox News to say she's totally guilty (wait, they're already doing that).
It's not like they're doing any actual legislating, so there's plenty of time to spare.

Yup, they're already doing that, definitely, Clinton isn't needed for them to spit out their rhetoric.
Idiots. Just give it up already, HRC will be the next President of the United States and there isn't a damn thing they can do about it. What they should do is shift all their resources towards protecting their congressional majorities. Instead they'll waste more time, money and mind share on a lost cause. Good.
THIIIIIISSS!!!!!
It blows my mind how everyone who is pushing for Clinton to be indicted on the right just flat out ignore the Bush email scandal where 20 MILLION+ emails vanished on an RNC hosted email server. It is a situation that is DIRECTLY analogous to Clinton's server set up with the exception that we actually lost 20 MILLION+ emails.
And the American public will see through the farce and reward her with political capital.
Such as?

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
This is going to absolutely kill the GOP. It failed when they tried this on a scandal where people actually died.

They don't have anything else to do
Poor memeage, the senate appoints justices. Better would be references to gun legislation.
