Will the wingnuts finally stop banging on about Benghazi now ?

House Republicans investigating the 2012 terrorist attacks in Benghazi, Libya, have found no new evidence to conclude that Hillary Clinton, secretary of state at the time, was culpable in the deaths of four Americans, according to the committee’s final report released on Tuesday.

The 800-page document released by the Republicans on the House select committee on Benghazi brought to a close a fiercely partisan, two-year, $7m investigation that included interviews with more than 80 witnesses.

The White House noted tersely that this was the eighth congressional committee to investigate the attacks and went on longer than the 9/11 commission and the committees designated to look at Pearl Harbor, the assassination of President John F Kennedy, the Iran-Contra affair and Watergate. It accused Republicans of pursuing “wild conspiracy theories”.

    Are you reading from the Democrats report of the Republicans? There were two different reports issued.

    No, they never will. :-/ Living with conspiracy theories will make them see ghosts everywhere. At the same time there's been strong powers who have used years undermining the character of Hillary R Clinton in the eyes of the masses. Marketing is a strong tool.

    This conclusion could have been drawn 7 commitees and $1mm ago.

    I was just reporting the general thrust of the official (Republican) report. I'm aware of both the Democrats response and the more hardline Republican supplementary report but thought I'd just stick to the facts.

    Wingnuts have long ago abandoned the Reality-Based Community.

    Expecting them to rejoin it because the GOP finally gave up on BENGHAZI! (tm) is a rather futile hope.

    Of course not. Propaganda do not need evidence just repetition. Unless it comes from 'the other side', then no amount of evidence is enough (eg: Obamas birth certificate) ;-))

    What a giant waste of money, she would of only got a slap on the wrist anyways, ridiculous. If HRC. were to be investigated for all of her scandalous actions, the US. would be broke, lol. And this is someone running for the highest office in the world, the sad thing is that it's testament to how naïve and stupid American voters are. go figure.

    Wasted time..while much of America is wasting away..  The Andrew Dice Clay saying applies here..(UN.........Believable)

    Said Steve Benen, a producer for MSNBC:“The Benghazi Committee isn’t investigating a scandal. The Benghazi Committee is the scandal..
