>How is Mccarthy's statement a non sequitur? A non-sequitur, by definition, is an inference that does not follow from the premises. Didn't he pretty much state that they created the Benghazi committee to go after Hillary and, because of that, her numbers are dropping?

To clarify, while McCarthy's statements were pretty dumb, the non-sequitur is the conclusion that the Clinton camp and much of the liberal media have reached - that McCarthy's statements were a "truthful statement told by accident" that wind up vindicating Clinton (or prove that the only reason they went after Hillary was political)
