House Benghazi Report Finds No New Evidence of Wrongdoing by Hillary Clinton

Don't think the cpountry doesn't recognize political grandstanding when it sees it. Or colossal waste of taxpayer money. Or loopy lying candidates when they see them (Trump lies over 70% of the time according to PolitiFact), which is why Clinton is going to win in November, and ain't a damn thing you can do about it.

Investigating the same thing over and over and over and over and over and over and over is not law and oversight.

No law enforcement would investigate the same thing that many times if every time they reached the same conclusion. No law allows for that many attempts to prosecute someone. Oversight is looking at something and making suggestions to improve it in the future. If it takes 7 attempts to make conclusions about how to not let it happen again then it isn't oversight. It is incompetence or as in this case using Congress as a weapon against political opponents.

I think it qualifies as stalking.

There should be an investigation into this committee's malfeasance and fraud what with Republican Kevin McCarthy's inadvertent confession that it was actually convened to thwart Hilary Clinton's presidential candidacy instead of its purported purpose of investigating the Benghazi attacks.

Justice-dept is dependant on elite-finances.
Elite-nutjobs NEVER get prosecuted.

The Romans knew all about it. "" Quis custodiet custodies?" Who will. watch the watchmen? my erratic latin spelling) is an old proverb dealing with the same issue. Of course the Romans had an infallible cure for corrupt supposed oversight keepers. They would feed them to the lions. Time to do that to the GOP panel members.

How dare you suggest we feed shite to lions!

Benghazi The Fault of Republican Underfunding: Sister of Ambassador Stevens

The sister of the U.S. ambassador to Libya killed in Benghazi said she doesn't blame Hillary Clinton for Chris Stevens' death, instead pointing to Congress for under-budgeting the State Department.

"I do not blame Hillary Clinton or Leon Panetta (for Stevens' death). They were balancing security efforts at embassies and missions around the world," Dr. Anne Stevens, who has acted as a spokesperson for the family, said in an interview with the New Yorker published Tuesday.
Benghazi panel caps 2-year probe: No bombshell, faults administration
"But what was the underlying cause? Perhaps if Congress had provided a budget to increase security for all missions around the world, then some of the requests for more security in Libya would have been granted. Certainly the State Department is underbudgeted," she added. "I would love to hear they are drastically increasing the budget."
Her comments will probably not be heard on Faux News or anywhere in the Reich Wing noise machine.

Benghazi: "this inquest was never meant as fact-finding & constructive criticism"
- USA Today

"The inquiry found virtually nothing about Clinton’s actions that had not been previously reported"

The attacks on two U.S. diplomatic compounds in Benghazi, Libya, on the 11th anniversary of 9/11, were another matter altogether. With Hillary Clinton serving as secretary of State at the time, House Republicans saw the tragic event as a chance to raise questions about her record.

To that end they created a select committee to investigate Benghazi, even after seven less politicized congressional panels and one State Department commission had already done so. The result is an 800-page report (longer than the 9/11 commission’s findings) released Tuesday.

Thickness should not be confused with revelation. In fact, it’s hard to imagine a bigger waste of government resources or a greater indication of Congress’ oversight role devolving into rank partisanship.

Did the investigation find reasons to be critical of the government’s actions before, during and after the attacks that left Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans dead? Sure. It’s impossible to spend two years and $7 million probing government and not find fault. But this inquest was never meant as fact-finding and constructive criticism. It was fashioned as way of tarnishing Clinton's presidential prospects.

The 2013 gun control debacle ensures that the Republican candidate will win.

Not if investigations keep continuing because Democrats keep obstructing the investigations.

What we really need to do is appoint an independent prosecutor to investigate Hillary.

I can't believe even you can type that with a straight face.

The 2013 gun control debacle wrecked Mr. Obama's second term and made him into a do-nothing president who hasn't advanced a legislative agenda in the past six years.

On election day, that will put the voters in a mood to switch which party controls the White House.

Not that you are capable of acknowledging it, but Obama has had one of the most productive second terms in modern history - especially the supposed 'lame duck' last two years; especially if the executive actions he took to circumvent the do-nothing republicans are considered.
And not that you are capable of acknowledging it, but Donald Trump is self-destructing at a pretty fair clip; so much so that reasonable republicans clearly see their only hope of victory being a Hillary Clinton email indictment.

The President ought to be given another four year with a real /congress.

Hillary, a candidate with large negative numbers herself will mop the floor with Donald. But we also nee to give her a real Congress to work with. At least its pretty clear she'll at least get a majority Senate.

For the first time guns as a button issue will work against the GOP. Never thought I'd see that day!

Democrats keep obstructing the investigations? Care to provide evidence of that?

Simply because an investigation doesn't lead to the result you want is not evidence of a cover up.

Music to my ears, if it is true. I have a hard to believing it.

I tend not to acknowledge things that are untrue, are imaginary, or are otherwise fictitious.



Not really. The only legislation that he got passed were a handful of things that the Republicans wanted even more than he did.



Unconstitutional executive orders are no substitute for advancing a legislative agenda.

The investigation had one success. It revealed Hillary's email situation.

The American people don't share the Democrats' hatred of our Constitution. It is unlikely that Republican support of civil rights will cost the Republicans.
