Another one bites the dust: House Benghazi inquiry finds no evidence of Clinton wrongdoing (NYT).

WASHINGTON — Ending one of the longest, costliest and most bitterly partisan congressional investigations in history, the House Select Committee on Benghazi issued its final report on Tuesday, finding no new evidence of culpability or wrongdoing by Hillary Clinton in the 2012 attacks in Libya that left four Americans dead.

The 800-page report, however, included some new details about the night of the attacks, and the context in which it occurred, and it delivered a broad rebuke of government agencies like the Defense Department, the Central Intelligence Agency and the State Department — and the officials who led them — for failing to grasp the acute security risks in the Libyan city, and especially for maintaining outposts in Benghazi that they could not protect.

The committee, led by Representative Trey Gowdy, Republican of South Carolina, also harshly criticized an internal State Department investigation that it said had allowed officials like Mrs. Clinton, then the secretary of state, to effectively choose who would investigate their actions. In addition, it reiterated Republicans’ complaints that the Obama administration had sought to thwart the investigation by withholding witnesses and evidence.

The report, however, did not dispute that United States military forces stationed in Europe could not have reached Benghazi in time to rescue the personnel who died — a central finding of previous inquiries.

So how many Clinton pseudo-scandals is that now?

for cutting security funding there in the first place. Doubtful they'll place some blame where it belongs.

I can't wait until we get rid of them in the House and Senate. They're totally and utterly useless as representatives for the People.

I wish I had that part but it was something I watched on the internet
I'm pretty sure one is from Ohio and I think one is NY
Some people never quit and I guess these two are the holdouts
