Hillary Clinton isn’t the only one with a lot riding on this week’s Capitol Hill hearing on the 2012 Benghazi terrorist attacks.
The 12-member Select Committee on Benghazi is loaded with ambitious lawmakers from both parties looking for a breakout moment on the national stage with the Democratic presidential front-runner.
More than half the Republicans serving on the panel have been mentioned as potential candidates to replace Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio). And the committee’s chairman, GOP Rep. Trey Gowdy (S.C.), is widely viewed as having a bright political future back home in South Carolina.
Clinton’s Democratic allies on the panel include one declared Senate candidate, Rep. Tammy Duckworth of Illinois, and another potential one, veteran Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland.
Here’s a look at seven members of the Benghazi panel who could shine in the spotlight during Thursday’s showdown

It will be a big show. No one really cares about Benghazi.
except the families of the men who were murdered
Would be nice if all the political bullshit were stopped and just finish this so the families know what happened. You would think after 17 months they would come to a conclusion and stop the waste of taxpayer money and move on.
the question remains how does Hillary look in and orange jump suit
I meant no one running the committee cares. They have an agenda and a lot of hype going into the Thursday meeting. They do not care about victims, it is all about bringing Hillary down.
