"SNIP..............
Congressional investigations have a way of stretching from months to years, but the House committee probe into 2012s Benghazi attack was especially lengthy. At two years and four months, it was longer than Congressional probes into 9/11, Watergate, the JFK assassination and Pearl Harbor.
Republicans launched the investigation with a focus on Hillary Clinton, but Democrats accuse them of using Benghazi as a political weapon, especially after this from comment from Republican leadership.

resources that could be put to much better use. The Clinton stalkers will never learn.

How much did we spend paying them? And their pensions for life?

Republicans should spend $40 million dollars to see if the water was given to her by ISIS.

profusely for his investigation of the Clinton's. .... no doubt to head off more democratic investigations of 9/11. He was so contrite. What a bunch of bull****!
