"Who cares?! And what's this got to do with Benghazi?!"
That's how an angry, dismissive Chris Matthews regards a forthcoming congressional deposition of Clinton acolyte Sidney Blumenthal, regarding revelations that frequently corresponded with then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on policy matters related to Libya, and all this while he had business interests at stake in the North African country.
Of course, if Matthews wants a substantive answer to his question, he could invite on moderately-conservative Washington Post blogger Jennifer Rubin, who could elaborate her "10 reasons why the Clinton-Blumenthal story is a big deal."
Yeah, I'm not holding my breath for that either.

CHRIS MATTHEWS: Well, tomorrow the House committee investigating Benghazi will interview Clinton confidant Sidney Blumenthal . The House Select Committee on Benghazi led by Trey Gowdy of South Carolina will depose Blumenthal behind closed doors. Politico reports that Republicans want to know why he e-mailed Hillary Clinton unsubstantiated intelligence about Libya and whether he was paid for it and whether he used his Clinton connections to help his business partners.
I've got a few questions for the Republicans on that panel. Who cares? And what's this got to do with Benghazi?
