Trey Gowdy is pouncing on Hillary Clinton after the Benghazi final report states that "The attack on an American government official went on for 2 years at a cost of $7,000,000 but in all that time, not a single wheel was turned toward stopping this pointless political assault."

“Under Fire, the untold story of the attack on Benghazi” , by two ex-CIA guys, told the whole story, hour by hour, couple years ago, and all the investigations back up what they said, way back then.

“Everybody thought Hillary Clinton was unbeatable, right? But we put together a Benghazi Special Committee….a Select Committee…what are her numbers today? Her numbers are dropping.” – Kevin McCarthy (R-CA).When the leaders of the effort brag about it as a partisan tool to hurt a candidacy, that proves the real motives..Period.

The sad thing is the anti-Clinton propaganda firestorm has gone on and on for so long (What, since the 1970’s) that if the GOP did ever manage to find something solid to talk about; Nobody except the choir would listen to them!

Exactly right. Congress slashed the hell out of the State Department’s budget which directly affected the security of all installations world-wide. You can’t provide for Security when there is no money to pay for it and what little money they had had to be shared amongst every installation the State Department worked throughout the world.

This is snark right? Because if not, you really need to get some professional help.

I might be wrong, but I think there is some sarcasm present in Stipple’s post.

Americans died, Hillary delayed, Obama lied, Hillary lied, Susan Rice lied, and your upset about the investigation that uncovered it. Wow. Liberals need to get their priorities straight and focus on the country again – sad how selfish people have become and how indifferent to the overall wellbeing.

The fact that there is no evidence at all that you personally killed the last dodo bird proves that you are guilty.

Anyone taking bets on “this” being the final report? Already we are hearing complaints about some piece of evidence not properly investigated. Surely there is room for yet another investigation.. a segue into the email issue at least.

I am hoping that is supposed to be sarcasm.

WOW, “the fact that there is no evidence at all proves that she is guilty”? That is certainly a new concept in the American justice system. And it shows why there will be further investigations until Hillary is elected and tells them to knock it off. No one who isn’t emotionally invested in the “Crooked Hillary” project has ceased to find this pathetic attempt to disgrace her as laughable.

pmaerzRemember the little x in the lower right column by delete? Hit one of them. In your case, since your are doing a parrot’s imitation of Fox buzz-word sloganeering, delete both of them.

Wasn’t this the final report for the Lewinski scandal? And the email scandal? And the Foster scandal? And the Clinton Foundation scandal and the Foggy Bottom and Blumenthal and and and… You are really going to have to come up with a good make-em-up funny story if you expect it to stick. You would think for 7 million you would reach more than the far right sycophants, judging by these comments, you have not.

Is Gowdy now looking to buy Monica’s blue dress??

The problem is that being “dedicated” to ones’ point of view usually means having blinders on.And it’s telling that several Republicans on the panel issued their own report saying they disagreed, and that it didn’t go far enough. The same Republican ilk who backed Nixon even when it was shown he committed impeachable offenses. “BUT, he was OUR guy!”
