House Benghazi Report Finds No New Evidence of Wrongdoing by Hillary Clinton

Its beginning to fall apart for the GOP. Hillary isn't going to be
prosecuted and is picking up points against the buffoon daily
Its really a shame that the GOP wasn't able to offer a reasonable
person to run for President. We need two strong parties.

Oh ye of little faith.

Have you seen Breitbart's take on the same report:

<http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/06/28/benghazi-committee-releases-final-report-slams-clinton/>

I think Wired said some intelligent things about this:

I did like this twitter exchange:

David Corn: If I were a right-wing extremist who thought HRC is a
demonic always-lying socialist who covered-up Benghazi, I'd be very
sad today.

Jon Favreau: no you wouldn't, because all your news sources would
still say that a) she's to blame, and b) all other news is biased

The committee was not looking for wrongdoing by HRC specifically. In
fact, they stated read the report, come to your own conclusion. There
was plenty of wrong doing to go around. It's the lib media that has been
pushing the "no wrong doing by Hillary" meme. As usual.

Then read the Democrats, cough, "report". Where all they did was cover
for Hillary and somehow blamed Trump for things. And these clueless
tools have the gall to bitch about partisanship.

Both parties are doing the same thing. I read both reports and what I
see is that there was no possible way to have gotten our troops there
to help. The big SNAFU was between the military and Washington. Even
the Republican report says that I know that you want to see HRC have
to take the rap and be indicted, but it certainly looks like she won't
be.

The reason the press focused on the "no wrongdoing by Hillary"
angle is that that's what people wanted know. This is a political
issue as well as a foreign policy issue. A finding of culpability
on her part would have had ramifications for the presidential
campaign.

I'm sure you'll hate the source, but they are QUOTING:

'In an interview with WIBX 950 in New York on Wednesday, moderate
Republican Rep. Richard Hanna said House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy
was speaking the truth when he said this month that the committee had
successfully injured Clinton.

“Sometimes the biggest sin you can commit in D.C. is to tell the truth,”
Hanna told the upstate New York radio station. “This may not be
politically correct, but I think that there was a big part of this
investigation that was designed to go after people and an individual,
Hillary Clinton.”'

<http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/another-republican-admits-benghazi-panel-political>

And CNN has the same report.

<http://www.cnn.com/2015/10/14/politics/hillary-clinton-benghazi-committee/>

And they're reported here:

<http://www.syracuse.com/politics/index.ssf/2015/10/clinton_campaign_gop_rep_richard_hanna_admits_benghazi_probe_is_political_sham.html>

<http://www.syracuse.com/politics/index.ssf/2015/10/rep_richard_hanna_defends_his_comments_on_hillary_clinton_and_benghazi.html>


And since the only source you'll accept as unbiased appears to be Fox News:

'BILL O'REILLY: If you don't think the Benghazi thing is political, of
course it's political. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't know what
exactly happened, and why the secretary of state was ignorant about the
security problems in Benghazi, Libya. But if you think those guys, those
Republicans on that panel don't want to bring down Hillary Clinton,
you're six-years-old. Because they do. So it is political.'

But tell you what:

You tell me what source you would consider fair and balanced, and I'll
source the quotes from there. You game?

That is simply hanna's spin on what McCarthy said.

No. These are McCarthy's WORDS (and I'll include the context)

'MCCARTHY: No, no. Sean, no, because the courts had put a stay on that.
So there was no funding going towards that. The question I think you
really want to ask me is, how am I going to be different?

HANNITY: I love how you asked my questions. But go ahead, that is one of
my questions. Go right ahead.

MCCARTHY: I knew you'd want to ask it. What you're going to see is a
conservative speaker that takes a conservative congress that puts a
strategy to fight and win.

And let me give you one example. 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.'

<http://www.foxnews.com/transcript/2015/09/29/rubio-cruz-talk-foreign-policy-govt-shutdown-mccarthy-on-how-differs-from/>

So McCarthy talks about how he's going to create a "strategy to fight
and win" as the Republican speaker of a Republican controlled congress...

...and then gives you an explicit example of such a strategy in action:
attacking Hillary Clinton via the Benghazi committee.

It's black letter, Mikey.

"As speaker, I'm going to put together a political strategy to fight and
win, and as an example, look at the Benghazi committee".

What you hate about this isn't that "the left" has twisted what he said,
but that you cannot simply admit the plain truth.

So, why did you snip it after Her numbers are dropping?

"And let me give you one example. 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.
Why? Because she's un-trustable. But no one would have known any of that
had happened had we not fought and made that happen"

Because it isn't relevant.

He gave the Benghazi special committee up as an example of a political
strategy to fight and win.

That's the important part. Paraphrased:

"An example of our strategy to fight and win in the Benghazi special
committee."

Sorry, but that is a true reading of what he said.

Not that it matters. You have Republicans on the record, on Fox News no
less, admitting that the Benghazi committee was politically motivated.

And then, predictably, they came up with nothing.

Although Alan is a pain in the ass with his nitpicking and trolling,

No, actually.

There were two different republicans I quoted in the original post.

And the one we've focused on said CLEARLY that the Benghazi committee
was an example of Republican strategy to fight and win. No twisting at
all was necessary.

No. He claimed it was an example of their "strategy to fight and win"
that the committee was even formed.

Whether they admitted it or not, "getting" Hillary was certainly
a large part of the motivation for the committee investigation. If
it makes you feel any better, if it had been a Democratic investigation
of a GOP presidential candidate, it would have been just as
politicized.

No. Actually.

Your "facts" were debunked thoroughly.

Specifically, in the case of the percentage of uninsured, I showed you
that the current figures were lower than your out of date figures and
lower than the beginning numbers you cited and from precisely the same
source as you used, hence you cannot whine about the source.

How is that a better question? My point was, and has been that
Obamacare is unsustainable.

My cite was outdated, but even the more recent poll shows that
employer based healthcare is by far the most significant reason
fewer people are without healthcare.
