The Benghazi Committee’s Dead End; http://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/04/opinion/the-benghazi-committees-dead-end.html?ref=opinion "The committee has spent nearly $7 million looking into an incident that had already been the subject of an independent investigation commissioned by the State Department and nine reports issued by seven other congressional committees. Those reviews faulted the federal government for failing to provide proper security for the American ambassador in Libya and three of his colleagues who were killed, but found no evidence of a cover-up or gross negligence by Mrs. Clinton."

From the article: After running a congressional oversight committee like a Republican opposition research shop for more than two years, Representative Trey Gowdy appears to be gearing up for the finale. Democrats on the Select Committee on Benghazi expect that a final report will drop soon, just as Hillary Clinton appears poised to clinch the Democratic nomination. If things had gone his way, Mr. Gowdy, a former federal prosecutor, would have found a way to torpedo Mrs. Clinton’s presidential ambitions. After all, Republican lawmakers have admitted that this is precisely what they set out to do. But things have not gone well for Mr. Gowdy, who has run the investigation with the dexterity and grace of a blindfolded toddler swinging at a piñata. Having pored over reams of documents, grilled Mrs. Clinton in an 11-hour session in October and hauled in more than 100 people for interviews, the Republicans seem to have come up with nothing. Yet another ENORMOUS Republican failure. Next up - Clinton emails... (but no time to confirm a Supreme Court nominee) |

Hillary was found innocent of gross negligence...She merely acted with moderate negligence, her usual performance..............

You should write Representative Trey Gowdy and make sure he knows about this important discovery of yours and urge him to begin another investigation of SOS Clinton's criminal activities. At the very least you should send this to Senator Sanders and urge him to call for a Senate investigation in to the Hillary Clinton criminal enterprise. |

Gowdy Statement on Report by State Department Inspector General https://benghazi.house.gov/news/press-releases/gowdy-statement-on-report-by-state-department-inspector-general May 25, 2016 Press Release Washington, D.C. — Select Committee on Benghazi Chairman Trey Gowdy (SC-04) released the following statement regarding the State Department Office of Inspector General’s Evaluation of Email Records Management: “There is only one reason why these facts are now available to the American people: thorough congressional oversight, including the Select Committee on Benghazi’s insistence that any truly comprehensive review of what happened before, during, and after the 2012 terrorist attacks in Libya must include public records from the former Secretary of State and her senior staff. While the emails have never been the focus of our investigation, it was necessary to obtain them, and this committee is the first and only one to do so. If anyone wonders why the investigation is not yet complete, the malfeasance and numerous problems identified in this report are Exhibit A, and prove the committee has faced serial delays from day one at the hands of public officials who sought to avoid transparency and accountability.” Under President Obama, the State Department did not have a permanent Inspector General until September 2013, when the Democrat-controlled Senate unanimously confirmed his appointment. continued below.. |

continued.. The Obama administration’s serial delays in producing documents to the committee total more than 10,000 days, the equivalent of over 27 years. Earlier this month, the Obama administration confirmed the committee went the extra mile to complete its investigation as soon as possible by helping the State Department get extra funding. In total, $6.5 million was reprogrammed so the State Department could speed up document production to Congress and the committee could complete its investigation faster. “I wanted to have this completed by the end of December 2015,” Chairman Gowdy recently told Politico. “But you have to have access to documents and witnesses — that is the lifeblood of an investigation… And when one side controls documents and the witnesses and the other group is trying to conduct the investigation, that creates something of a quandary.” |

Hmmm, it seems the DoD believes that it was processing requests as quickly as possible. It simply wasn't able to keep up with a large number of requests that kept being made, changed, withdrawn etc. I'm not familiar with this case, but based on Cruz and Smith's climate science investigations, politicians know how to make impossible demands and then twist well-intentioned and careful responses as some kind of cover up or conspiracy when they can't find any facts to support their witch hunt. |

More of the same old same old. The bottom line is this, the Republicans have been chasing their tails over trying to bag the Clintons on something, anything, illegal for 30 years and have come up empty time and time again. Even Kevin McCarthy and other sitting Republicans admit that this effort is purely political. Well, how well is that working? Hillary Clinton will announce tonight that she has secured the Democratic nomination for President, a historical first for a major political party. All one can do is laugh at the Hillary Haters at a moment like this!
