Democrats knock down 'wild Republican conspiracy theories' about Clinton and Benghazi

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton speaks during a press conference after talking about her strategy for rural America during a campaign stop at the FFA Enrichment Center at Des Moines Area Community College in Ankeny, Iowa August 26, 2015.
Just days before Hillary Clinton testifies publicly before the Benghazi Committee, the committee's Democrats are knocking down some of the common Republican accusations against Clinton. Pointing out (again) ways the Republicans on the committee have let their partisan agenda show, from all the canceled hearings and interviews with people not named Hillary Clinton to the barrage of press releases about Clinton, the Democrats are taking it another step. In a new report, they reveal that they've asked the committee's witnesses a consistent set of questions aimed at finding out if any of those Republican accusations are true. The results:

In stark contrast to these baseless political attacks, the 54 individuals who have now been interviewed by the Select Committee have identified:

no evidence that Secretary Clinton ordered the military to stand down on the night of the attacks;
no evidence that Secretary Clinton personally approved or ordered a reduction of security in Benghazi prior to the attacks;
no evidence that Secretary Clinton pressed the United States into supporting the United Nations campaign in Libya under false pretenses;
no evidence that Secretary Clinton or her aides oversaw an operation at the State Department to destroy or scrub embarrassing documents; and
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.
