WASHINGTON (AP) — Nearly two years after it was created, the House Benghazi Committee is plowing ahead, interviewing witnesses, reviewing documents and promising a final report "before summer" that is certain to have repercussions for Democrat Hillary Clinton's bid for the presidency.

The panel's Republican chairman, Rep. Trey Gowdy of South Carolina, said in an email to The Associated Press that the committee has made "considerable progress" investigating the deadly 2012 attacks that killed four Americans, including the U.S. ambassador to Libya, Chris Stevens.

Gowdy declined to elaborate specifically on what progress has been made beyond listing new witnesses and documents.

The Benghazi inquiry has gone on longer than the 9/11 Commission took to investigate the terrorist attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people on Sept. 11, 2001, spending more than $6 million in the process, Democrats said. They say the only goal of the investigation is to undermine Clinton's candidacy.

Gowdy declined to be interviewed, but said in a statement that the committee had advanced in its inquiry in recent weeks, after interviewing national security adviser Susan Rice; her deputy, Ben Rhodes, and other witnesses. Former CIA Director David Petraeus and former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta are among those who have testified before the panel in closed-door sessions at the Capitol.

1. Showing just how sick the Repubes are. In case anyone needed more evidence.

The Repubes need to look into the Reagan-Lebanon f*ckup. 241 dead US Marines. Not so much as a freaking peep out of the Repubes, despite the documented evidence that the Reagan-Repube Administration ignored warning.

Shameful Repubes.

5. The Dems need to conduct their own investigation into the repuke's using taxpayer monies

for political hit jobs on Hillary.

6. Carefully timed for political effect: original plan. But even Darrell Issa gave up on it. . . nt

8. Is Gowdy going to flop sweat through another 11 hour hearing?

They should call it a day with this non-scandal.

9. This is just a preview of what Hillary

should expect should she become president. If she became president, it would be nonstop Benghazi's on steroids.
