Fox News questions 'convenient' timing of Benghazi suspect's capture

A Fox News panel on Tuesday mused about the alleged "political motivations" behind the Obama administration's "convenient" capture last weekend of a key suspect in the Benghazi embassy attack.

"I think this thing needs to be tied in a bow for certain individuals to have a clean break," panelist Pete Hegseth said, adding that it was "all too neat, and it's too cute."

A few of his fellow panelists agreed, noting that the capture was sure to help Hillary Clinton — who just so happened to have a big Fox interview scheduled for Tuesday night. --Jon Terbush
