There is hope for peace and civility in the USA.

While this finding doesn't surprise me, I remind there was an original investigation among very distinguished people that allayed all concerns regarding the attacks in Benghazi. I hope this puts to rest all the insults of the Obama administration ever leveled at them.

I will say this in criticism of our media. FOX drove most of the lies and hate the country experienced. Do we have to go down the road of hate every time the USA has problems? The media should do better policing of it's own. The prime reason this incident in Libya has dragged on for years is because the right wing media had to drag then Secretary Clinton through the mud. It is time the right wing put away their pitchforks and learn to be Americans.

There exists still yet another House Select Committee convened in May. It is time to end the use of government funds for political purposes. This House Intelligence Committee was the SEVENTH investigation into the tragedy we all suffered with Benghazi. This is ridiculous. The House Select Committee is the EIGHTH investigation.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A two-year investigation (click here) by the Republican-controlled House Intelligence Committee has found that the CIA and the military acted properly in responding to the 2012 attack on a U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, and asserted no wrongdoing by Obama administration appointees.
Debunking a series of persistent allegations hinting at dark conspiracies, the investigation of the politically charged incident determined that there was no intelligence failure, no delay in sending a CIA rescue team, no missed opportunity for a military rescue, and no evidence the CIA was covertly shipping arms from Libya to Syria.
In the immediate aftermath of the attack, intelligence about who carried it out and why was contradictory, the report found. That led Susan Rice, then U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, to inaccurately assert that the attack had evolved from a protest, when in fact there had been no protest. But it was intelligence analysts, not political appointees, who made the wrong call, the committee found. The report did not conclude that Rice or any other government official acted in bad faith or intentionally misled the American people....
