Benghazi Report Finds No New Evidence of Wrongdoing by Hillary

Not that this will change the meme all that much.  I doubt that this lays anything to rest.  It's an election year.

But the lack of any crisp, hard-hitting allegation of professional misconduct or dereliction of duty, was certain to fuel further criticism of the length the investigation â€" more than two years â€" and the expense, estimated at more than $7 million, in addition to Democrats’ allegations that the inquiry was specifically intended to damage Mrs. Clinton’s presidential prospects.

And in a sign that Mr. Gowdy was also facing pressure from the right, two of the committee’s conservative members, Representatives Jim Jordan of Ohio and Mike Pompeo of Kansas, wrote a 48-page addendum including somewhat harsher criticism of the Obama administration, its response to the attacks and its subsequent public explanations.

“Officials at the State Department, including Secretary Clinton, learned almost in real time that the attack in Benghazi was a terrorist attack,” Mr. Jordan and Mr. Pompeo wrote. “With the presidential election just 56 days away, rather than tell the American people the truth and increase the risk of losing an election, the administration told one story privately and a different story publicly.”

Presidential election is just 56 days away? Isn't it in November? I'm missing something I guess.

I'm assuming that comes from some quote that was made two years ago, during a non presidential election.  I wondered the same thing, and that's the best I can speculate.

"First Tuesday after the first Monday in November." That's so it won't be on All Saint's Day.

Well, yeah, the report has no new evidence, but the investigation was never about "evidence" anyway.  It was about proving Hillary is the antichrist who personally lead the attack on Benghazi and drank the blood of the victims to steal their power, which it has proven.  You just have to read it right.  Squint your eyes.  KNOW that it says that before you read it.  Maybe smash your head into a brick wall a few times until it DOES say that.

The next nineteen investigations may turn up something.

We can only hope they can finally get to the truth they want instead of the annoying truth that is.

OK. Thanks.

You mean the guys who voted 54 times to repeal Obamacare?

Yeah.  You know, the sensible, considerate, calm, rational, intelligent and completely unbiased members of Congress who are immediately going to start another Benghazi investigation as soon as this one turns up nothing like the rest did.

[Nonsensei]

I bet they don't. They wont be able to conclude it before election day. This was their one shot on this topic and it failed.

They don't have to conclude it, they would be happy to say "She's under investigation...".

Chaos of battle.  And difficult to discern the thoughts between ears of the leadership.  As best anyone can tell, the Administration took a chance (blame Obama, not Clinton ... he is the CinC).  They were apparently funneling arms thru Benghazi to our wonderful allies who were then being trained in Jordan, and who subsequently went into Syria and went bat-shit on us.  Just like AlQaeda did.  All the other people below Obama were "just following orders" like the good 4th Reich goose-steppers they are, including Clinton.  Our embassies were bombed during Shrub's administration, and I don't remember any investigation of that, though ultimately Shrub was responsible.  And his dad, who helped create AlQaeda in the first place.  Don't worry, Libya is still in chaos, and President Clinton certainly intends to return there and take some pounds of flesh.

It's getting harder and harder for the rubes to accuse HRC of being a grifter when they have DJT at the top of their own ticket  .
This may be the first election when the opposition party openly campaigns for the opposition.

Part of the master plan.  If false controversy isn't created, the voters may die of boredom before the election.  If only as many voters showed up, as currently have a positive view of Congress, they might not survive the embarrassment.

Of course the candidates are grifters ... the US is a grifter nation.
