(23,946 posts)Democrats Issue New Report on Select Committee Witness Interviews
Oct 19, 2015 Press Release
Republicans have now admitted repeatedly that they are spending millions of taxpayer dollars to damage Secretary Clintons campaign for president, said Ranking Member Elijah Cummings. This report shows that no witnesses we interviewed substantiated these wild Republican conspiracy theories about Secretary Clinton and Benghazi. Its time to bring this taxpayer-funded fishing expedition to an end.

No evidence that Secretary Clinton or any other U.S. official directed or authorized the U.S. Mission in Benghazi to transfer weapons from Libya to another country.
For years, Republican Members of Congress and presidential candidates have alleged that Secretary Clinton was aware of, and a proponent of, an illicit government program to transfer weapons from Libya to Syria. The Select Committee continues to investigate this theory despite the fact that it was debunked by the Republican-led House Permanent SelectCommittee on Intelligence.
On January 23, 2013, Senator Rand Paul asked Secretary Clinton about this weapons-transfer theory when she testified before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. They had the following exchange:
Sen. Paul: Its been in news reports that ships have been leaving from Libya and that
they may have weapons. And what I would like to know is the annex that was close by, were they involved with procuring, buying, selling, obtaining weapons, and were any of these weapons being transferred to other countries? Any countries, Turkey included?
Sec. Clinton: Well, Senator, you will have to direct, direct that question to the agency
that ran the annex. I will see what information is available and .
Sen. Paul: You're saying you don't know.

Somehow that is the issue that most interests me about the Benghazi matter because I do not understand why the two ambassadors from Turkey and from the US were meeting in a consulate that probably did not have the best security when they could have met either in Ankara, Turkey which would have been very safe or in Tripoli. Why did they meet in a consulate instead of at the CIA compound?
What was really going on?
And what was Petraeus's CIA's role in whatever it was?
That is a topic the Republicans will never broach in my opinion.

Except, of course, the 40 tea-party House members who control the GodOffalParty...they are well beyond anything that can be called "Reason"...
