Is it better for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton if Democrats boycott or participate in the new House investigation of the Benghazi attacks?
That question is central to Minority Leader Nancy Pelosis decision whether to appoint Democratic members to the House select committee.
Several Democrats have urged Pelosi not to participate in the committee, saying it is unwise to lend an air of legitimacy to an investigation they have derided as a political witch hunt. But others, particularly those close to Clinton, believe that having Democrats on the panel is the only way to ensure both sides of the story will be told.
On Wednesday Pelosi announced the appointments of five Democratic members to explore the 2012 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, which killed four Americans:
The Benghazi hearings are likely to become televised spectacles, so the thinking in Clinton world is that its better to have Democrats join in the questioning in hopes of balancing the proceedings, ABC News has learned.
House Speaker John Boehner has appointed seven Republicans to participate in the investigation, which will be led by Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C.

Washington (CNN) - Hillary Clinton's book tour is starting to take shape.
The former secretary of state has added two speaking engagements to her schedule centered around "Hard Choices," her upcoming memoir due out June 10.
Clinton will appear in Austin on June 20 and five days later, on June 25, the former first lady will speak in San Francisco.
Both events, which are being organized by Innovation Arts & Entertainment, are being billed as "a conversation" with Clinton.
It is widely expected that Clinton will speak at a number of other events between her book's release and the Austin event, but a representative for Clinton had no other events to add to her schedule as of Tuesday.
The Austin event will take place at the Long Center and tickets run from $125 to $500. In San Francisco, tickets to the SHN Orpheum Theatre appearance run between $95 and $520.
Everyone who attends the events will receive a copy of "Hard Choices."
On the day that Clinton's book comes out, the former senator is set to speak at the United Fresh Produce Association and Food Marketing Institute annual meeting in Chicago, her childhood hometown.
In addition to the events, Clinton's interviews about the book have also been announced.
Clinton will first sit down with ABC's Diane Sawyer for a one-hour primetime special that will air on Monday, June 9.

ABC will help Hillary Clinton promote her new book, "Hard Choices," in a big way.
Clinton will talk to the network's Diane Sawyer and Robin Roberts in separate interviews.
Sawyer previews her Clinton interview on the June 9 "World News," then the big chat will air during a one-hour ABC News prime-time special at 9 that night.
Roberts gets the first live interview with Clinton on June 10's "Good Morning America."
"Hard Choices" will be released June 10 by Simon & Schuster.
The publisher offered this preview: "In her highly anticipated book, Secretary Clinton offers a candid view of what it will take for the United States to lead the world in the 21st century and why it matters to the lives of every American. 'Hard Choices' is also the story of her unlikely partnership with President Obama, as a 'team of rivals' became an unrivaled team on the biggest stage of all."
Excerpts from Sawyer's interview will air across all ABC News programs and platforms, including "GMA," "Nightline," ABCNews.com, ABC News Radio, ABC NewsOne and Fusion. Clinton obviously likes ABC. She showed up for Barbara Walters' final appearance on "The View" on Friday.
