Headline Of The Day

From the Huffington Post:

After spending more than two years and $7 million, the House Select Committee on Benghazi released a report Tuesday that found — like eight investigations before it — no evidence of wrongdoing by then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton or other members of the Obama administration.

The House voted to create the committee after Republicans were frustrated that even their own GOP-led committees failed to find wrongdoing in the events surrounding the 2012 attacks in Benghazi, Libya, that killed four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens.

But the new report also fails to find evidence of wrongdoing, revealing as all previous reports did that the administration’s response to the terror attacks was flawed, but not malicious or derelict.

The select committee report largely repeats the findings of other reports, with a handful of new details and a lot of fresh condemnation. The select committee’s chairman, Rep. Trey Gowdy, appealed to Americans to read the report if they wanted to make up their own minds.

Still, even Gowdy declined to say that the two Americans who died later in the attacks — Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods, members of that six-man team — would have lived if the administration showed better coordination.

“I’m not going to make a reckless allegation that [they] could have been saved,” Gowdy said.

Asked directly if Gowdy thought Americans who read the report should find culpability for Clinton, Gowdy declined to say so.
