House Democrats have been tracking the progress of the Attack Hillary Clinton select committee Benghazi select committee, day-by-day, dollar-by-dollar. As of this week, we're closing in on $4.6 million spent by the party of fiscal responsibility to discover that Hillary Clinton did something that may or may not have had anything to do with Benghazi. That's taken more than 500 days.

Here's how that breaks down compared to select committees that actually did stuff:


HURRICANE KATRINA
Select Bipartisan Committee to Investigate the Preparation for and Response to Hurricane Katrina
5 months and 1 day (2005-2006)
Expended $86,607

PEARL HARBOR
Joint Committee on Investigations of the Pearl Harbor Attack
9 months and 15 days (1945-1946)
Not to exceed $25,000
