Hillary Clinton responded Tuesday to the closure of the House Benghazi Committee’s investigation by saying it was “time to move on.”
Speaking in Denver, Colorado, Clinton charged that the investigation had taken on a “partisan tinge.” While she didn’t pick apart the committee’s report, she said that it didn’t contradict the conclusions that had already been reached by other congressional investigations into the 2012 attacks at the U.S. diplomatic post in Libya.
She noted that the committee spent $7 million on the investigation.
“So I’ll leave it to others to characterize this report, but I think it’s pretty clear it’s time to move on,” Clinton said.
Clinton said she wanted the country to remain focused on “diplomacy and development.”
“We cannot withdraw or retreat from the world,” Clinton said. “America needs a presence for a lot of reasons and the best way to honor the commitment and sacrifice of those we lost is to redouble our efforts to provide the resources and support that our development experts deserve.”
House Republicans on the committee found that Obama administration was at fault for a lack of security and a slow response for the attacks.
She went on to say that nobody had spent more time thinking about the four people who were killed in the attack.
“We owe it to the those brave Americans that we learn the right lessons from this tragedy,” Clinton said.
This post has been updated.
Yes. She has every right to say ‘Time to move on.’ Others should, however, explain how this partisan attack was orchestrated to attempt to damage Clinton’s electability. And name names.
And the Democrats on the Committee exposed the lies, abuses and utter failure of the Republican committees in producing the Republican’s shitty non-bipartisian report.
Sheeeetttt…it’s been time to ‘move on’ on SEVERAL fronts for years now but the petty vindictive aholes that run Congress these days don’t CARE how much they spend or what they DON’T do in their zeal to score political points. You move on SOS Clinton and we’ll rub their noses in their own excrement…OK?
The ONLY way these jokers are in control of congress is the very clever state-by-state redistricting effort that was undertaken after the 2010 census. That’s all they have going for them.
And while we’re at it you partisan motherfuckers , how about some more funding for Embassy Security.
