Final Benghazi report: No 'smoking gun' pointing to Clinton
By MATTHEW DALY

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans on Tuesday concluded their $7 million, two-year investigation into the deadly attacks in Benghazi, Libya, with fresh accusations of lethal mistakes by the Obama administration but no "smoking gun" pointing to wrongdoing by Hillary Clinton, then secretary of state and now the Democrats' presumptive presidential nominee.

After the long investigation, filled with partisan sniping by panel members, none of the new revelations highlighted by the House Benghazi committee in its 800-page report pointed specifically to Clinton's actions before, during or after the Sept. 11, 2012, attacks on the U.S. diplomatic outpost and CIA annex in the eastern Libyan city.

Four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens, died in the attacks. Allegations against Clinton were a main impetus behind the House Republicans' creation of the politically charged, Watergate-style select committee. Clinton testified before the panel for nearly 11 hours last fall.

While the panel's GOP members took shots at Clinton on Tuesday, Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., the chairman, summed up the document by asking "the American people to read this report for themselves, look at the evidence we have collected and reach their own conclusions."

In Denver, Clinton dismissed the report as an echo of previous probes with no new discoveries. "I think it's pretty clear it's time to move on," she said during a campaign stop.

Hardly — especially in the heat of an election. Republican rival Donald Trump, although silent on the subject Tuesday, has frequently lashed out at Clinton over Benghazi.

Nearly four years ago, the Libya attacks became immediate political fodder, given their timing in the weeks before President Barack Obama's re-election, and that has not abated despite seven previous congressional investigations. There has been finger-pointing on both sides over security at the U.S. diplomatic outpost in Benghazi and whether Clinton and the White House initially tried to portray the assault as a protest over an offensive, anti-Muslim video, instead of a calculated terrorist attack.

Republican insistence that the investigation was not politically motivated was undermined last year when House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., suggested that the committee could take credit for Clinton's then-slumping poll numbers.

His statements helped dash his chances of becoming House Speaker.

The committee interviewed more than 100 witnesses and reviewed some 75,000 pages of documents, but an almost accidental discovery by the panel last year has shadowed Clinton's candidacy. The committee disclosed that she had used a private email server to conduct government business while serving as secretary of state, a practice that has drawn widespread scrutiny, including an FBI investigation.

Already bitterly partisan, Tuesday's release of the report exposed divisions within Republican ranks.

Reps. Mike Pompeo of Kansas and Jim Jordan of Ohio issued a separate report slamming Clinton and the Obama administration, with Pompeo telling reporters that the former first lady and senator was "morally reprehensible." Clinton's public comments casting the attack as a possible protest over the anti-Muslim video differed sharply from her private assessments to her daughter, Chelsea, and foreign diplomats, Jordan and Pompeo said.

Gowdy, however, deflected questions about her, saying the report "is not about one person."

The GOP report severely criticizes the military, CIA and administration officials for their response as the attacks unfolded, and their subsequent explanations to the American people.

On the night of Sept. 11, a large group of men rushed into the diplomatic compound in Benghazi, firing guns and setting fires. Visiting Ambassador Stevens and computer specialist Sean Smith were killed despite taking cover in a safe room.

Hours later, before dawn, mortar fire hit the CIA roof nearby, killing security contractors Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty.

The report found that Libyan military officers loyal to former leader Moammar Gadhafi, whom the U.S. had helped depose, had taken part in rescuing the remaining Americans.

"Not a single wheel of a single U.S. military asset had even turned toward Libya," Gowdy complained.

U.S. military leaders told the committee they thought an evacuation was imminent, slowing any response.

The committee's five Democrats denounced the Republicans' report as "a conspiracy theory on steroids — bringing back long-debunked allegations with no credible evidence whatsoever."

Democrats released their own report Monday saying that while the State Department's security measures in Benghazi were "woefully inadequate," Clinton never personally turned down a request for additional security. The military could not have done anything differently that night to save the lives of the Americans, Democrats said.

Military leaders have testified repeatedly that they didn't have intelligence information on what was happening or the resources on alert to respond in time to the attacks, which occurred at two separate locations over 13 hours.

The State Department also issued a statement Tuesday, saying that the "essential facts" of the attacks "have been known for some time," and have been the subject of numerous reviews, including one by an independent review board.

Benghazi Report: State Dept Withheld Weapons Because They Were Not "Aesthetically Pleasing"

"There were about 10 of us who continually asked for more weapons and more security in Benghazi and were routinely denied.” And we reported on that because the State Department told him it wasn’t aesthetically pleasing to have a belt-fed machine gun, for example."

The US Embassy is in Tripoli.

Ambassador Stevens was visiting Benghazi at the time to review plans to establish a new cultural center and modernize a hospital.

The military rapid response team was 2,000 miles away.

In 2014 the terrorist that masterminded the attack was captured by US Special Forces.

LETS GET A NEW INVESTIGATION GOING!

Come on its not like any of the repugs care about the people who were killed in Benghazi. They just want to brandish spears and dance around a campfire chanting "Benghazi - Obama - Hillary" ....... "Benghazi - Obama - Hillary"

And what fun!

[Trouble]

The facts I find most important are (1) there were numerous requests to beef up security which were ignored by the State Department, (2) the Administration and the political hacks in the White House and State Department seemed more worried about putting the correct political spin on the incident rather than coming clean with the facts, (3) Hillary and her State Department and Obama and his White House were trying to explain the incident away as a spontaneous incident which came about from the video while Hillary was texting her daughter that it was a terrorist attack from the beginning, and (4) Obama who was not present and Hillary who was present at the meeting held at the White House while the incident was in real time, in which senior leadership should have been giving direction were not showing any leadership or direction at all. No matter the political party one with which on is affiliated, one cannot walk away without acknowledging that handling of the security in Libya was a cluster<deleted> at the State Department and that the reaction after the incident began a show of ineptness and lack of leadership. However one wants to assign the faults, they did occur and it seems like Harry Truman's adage that "The buck stops here" doesn't apply anymore. The fact that Congressional Committees can't seem to ever get information for whatever the reason from the Executive Branch without a tug of war makes it evidently clear that the government is broken. Congress is supposed to have oversight of government operations and they can't very well do that when the Executive Branch continuously stonewalls information requests hoping the public will get bored with the whole thing. Government no matter the party in the White House should be open, not run in secret as it has been far too long.

Who can disagree with any of that but it appears that although many more people died on 9/11 the inquiry into that event didn't merit the same scrutiny. Also the invasion of Iraq (based on a big fat lie, not sure who said that now) costing again many more lives, destabilized the whole of the Middle East as predicted by Dick Cheney in 1994, costing trillions of dollars still ongoing was also deemed not worthy of any in depth scrutiny. What is that saying about a can of worms?

The distance between Tripoli and Benghazi by air is around 400 miles by air and around 620 miles by road.

I find it hard to believe that the US didn't have people stationed in Tripoli or Malta that couldn't have responded by air.

London is around 1,680 miles by air, where exactly was this response team based? Riyadh? Even at a distance of around 2,000 miles that would be a 4.5 hour flight, the attacks took place over a period of several hours.

What an utter waste of public money.

Yes there were faults, mostly in the military response, and they need to be fixed.

But the Republicans milking the deaths of Americans for all the political worth they feel they can squeeze out of it is despicable.

One hopes they will consider eight partisan witch hunts to be sufficient, since it doesn't appear to be achieving the desired effect, which for them is trying to win the election.

http://www.breitbart.com/jerusalem/2016/06/28/benghazi-security-team-member-claims-told-stand/

Thanks very much for providing the link that shows what a farce this is:

The one security team member who said that he had been told to “stand down” described what he said was an exchange with superiors in testimony to the Select Committee:

We’re probably sitting there a good 15 minutes, and I get out of the car. I have the Chief of Base, the Deputy Chief of Base, and [the Security Team Leader] on the front porch. They’re all three on the phone doing something. And I just say: Hey, you know, we’ve got to get over there. We’re losing the initiative. [The Chief of Base] looks at me, he says: Stand down, you need to wait. You need to come up with a plan.

That same individual did not mention any “stand down” order in previous testimony to the Committee.

What a surprise.

[mopar71]

So the Bengazzi attack happened at 3:00 in the afternoon and Hillary was not in bed sleeping, as Trump keeps saying.

Which begs the question, what the **** was she doing?

All these bad life & death decisions being made while Americans are under attack and where was the Secretary of State?

Where was the President?

They were either making the decisions their positions demand of them or they weren't.

If the President and Secretary of State were not involved with the bad decisions that led to the deaths of 4 Americans WHY NOT? WHO WAS?

Who was making decisions like should any rescuers where civilian clothes or uniforms so as not to offend locals? (Oh, never mind, just don't send anyone).

There does not need to be a "smoking gun". It was Hillary's job as Secretary of State, her main, #1 priority on that day.

If no help came over a 13 hour period there is only one person who could have over-ruled Secretary of State Clinton, and that is President Obama.

So which one of them will accept the responsibility? Somebody needs to take responsibility for those 13 hours of in action.

Harry Truman (Democrat) famously had a sign on his desk, "the Buck stops here". Those were the days...

Not because of right-wingers, Republicans or Fox News.

If after all the American voter knows about and she STILL get elected President...there is no reason whatsoever for her to start playing by the same rules as the rest of us.

No smoking gun"? Read the 800 page report and then you will have enough information to make your own decision. Don't speculate or take anyone else word for it. After you read from the gathered evidence you will have a very clear view of how the three parts unfolded.

I think you overestimate the ability of the average person to comprehend more than a comic strip's worth of rhetoric; let alone make an intelligent decision on the information presented.

This was a Republican sponsored, House Select Committee investigating the Benghazi attack—it consisted of seven Republicans and five Democrats. After two years of investigation including interviews of US military, CIA, and Obama Administration officials, the result is announced—there is no evidence which points to Hillary's judgement as being at fault.

Like all the other whiners, the Republicans are crying because they could not prove any wrong-doing. The House Select committee was Republican inspired, Republican stacked, and the charges were Republican fabricated. With all that Republican-dominated investigative power; nothing was proven.

Even if those who attempt to read the report decide Hillary was at fault, the only thing it proves is either the Republicans are absolutely inept at proving Democrat fallibility or the Democrats are far smarter than the Republicans.
