So now it's over right, we won't have yet another Benghazi hearing.
You think a bipartisan report is going to stop Darrell Issa? Nope, the House GOP just gave his committee another $3.3 million to keep the bogus investigation going, despite finding absolutely nothing in the many, many congressional hearings thus far. Conservatives aren't going to give up. They're convinced there MUST be a pony under all Issa's ****.
This won't be over until Obama is out of the White House. And if Hillary is the next occupant, we potentially have another decade of this nonsense.

Correct. It is simply more Political posturing by the right, if they can keep their sheeple onboard they keep them voting their way. As for the sheeple, they will still rant and stomp their feet over it, one must remember the right also includes the Birthers and no amount of evidence ever changes their pea sized brains. Will the scream Benghazi go away, nope, learning and adapting are not within many Cons skill set, nothing new there.
Amen. Not surprised that the idiot right wing parrots on the site who blindly whine about this type of thing aren't posting here.
Isn't it amusing how normally the Benghazi threads are so active they had to be consolidated and stickied at the top of the page, but when a report comes out that exonerates the administration of any wrongdoing there isn't a rightwinger to be seen?
The House Intelligence Committee, led by Republicans, has concluded that there was no deliberate wrongdoing by the Obama administration in the 2012 attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans, said Rep. Mike Thompson of St. Helena, the second-ranking Democrat on the committee.
Thompson said the report "confirms that no one was deliberately misled, no military assets were withheld and no stand-down order (to U.S. forces) was given.
Meanwhile, the GOP House leadership has given the House Committee on Benghazi $3.3 million of our taxpayer dollars so they can continue the "investigation." Hearings resume in September. Because, you know, there's nothing of importance happening in the country that needs their attention.
This is what gerrymandered districts gets us. We have at least two more years of this nonsense.
That's been explained since the beginning.
Look conservatives tend to think in this grand conspiracies. And that is why they believe in Benghazi.
The perfect example and provable example of this conspiratorial thinking by conservatives is the 2012 Presidential election.
The polls were consistently showing that President Obama was going to win a somewhat close race, by a wide electoral college vote margin.
conservatives didn't like the conclusion those polls reached, so conservatives looked into the polls and found a troubling problem, the polls were skewed by polling more Democrats.
Now this is how you follow the grand conspiracy, because in order for that to be true, it would mean that all the polling companies were in on this grand conspiracy to over poll Democrats to make it look like President Obama was winning in order to psychologically depress conservative voters so they wouldn't go out and vote.
So the goal of this conspiracy was in an extremely convoluted manner to suppress the votes of conservatives.
The polling companies came out and explained their methodology as it relates to party identification and all the polling companies said we don't set out to poll a certain number of any political party, instead we set out to poll a demographically representative sample of the population that then self identifies their political party to the pollster.
conservatives completely rejected that factual explanation and instead believed the insane conspiracy theory.
conservatives started unskewing the polls and guess what Mitt Rmoney was going to win in a landslide.
This is how we get the Benghazi conspiracy theory or the IRS conspiracy, where conservatives reject the rational factual explanations presented to them for grand and nonsensical conspiracies.
What is the Benghazi conspiracy that President Obama let four Americans die to accomplish what?
Oh he let four Americans die to cover up the fact that Al Queda still existed when he had claimed they didnt(which he didn't make this claim).
Then he furthered the cover up by lying about a video being the cause of the Benghazi incident again to hide the fact that AL Queda still existed.
This cover up allowed him to win a 2012 presidential election he was never losing even after the first debate.
Again it is a nonsensical conspiracy theory, but just like the insane 2012 polling conspiracy theory that the polling companies are all polling too many Democrats, conservatives want to believe it. So they do.
They could have saved their millions of dollars because we all know the government never finds itself guilty..EVER.
Of course this is demonstrable nonsense, our government investigates aspects of government functions and finds wrong doing all the time.
If what you posted were true zero politicians would go to jail. Zero government bureaucrats would go to jail. Both of those things are demonstrably not true.

Oh, please. This investigation was headed up by Republicans, who would have been more than happy to find something, anything, that they could hang on this administration. Too bad for them, there was nothing there.
Meanwhile, you guys hang on every unsubstantiated, unfounded, unsupported utterance by career criminal Darrel Issa as if it was delivered from the mouth of God himself. No agenda there, right?

Where have I ever posted that I hang on to every word of Issa ?
We waste tens of millions or maybe even hundreds of millions on these dog and pony shows that Congress calls "investigations". And for what ?
Let's take a real incident of wrongdoing that should have been punished.
The CDC sent the deadly strain of bird flu to a USDA testing lab instead of the mildest strain.
All the chickens in the USDA test lab died.
Six months pass before the USDA calls the CDC and tells them what they did..six months.
So Congress starts asking questions.
The CDC can't answer any of them because they destroyed everything (as is called for in lab procedures).
Their logs weren't detailed enough to figure out how the wrong strain of flu got sent.
The USDA didn't know why they waited 6 months to report this.
Now tell me why heads didn't roll ?
Both the CDC and the USDA knew exactly what people were working on this, what people made the vials at the CDC, what people injected the birds at the USDA, etc.
And no one got in trouble. Both the USDA and CDC came back to Congress before the hearings ended saying they would "tighten up their procedures"..the typical answer all agencies give.
And that was that..
