After House Republicans on Monday released their new 800-page report on the administration’s response to the deadly 2012 attacks in Benghazi, Libya, Hillary Clinton’s campaign dismissed the report as a “partisan” attempt to prop up “conspiracy theories.”
“The Republicans on the House Benghazi Committee are finishing their work in the same, partisan way that we’ve see from them since the beginning. In refusing to issue its report on a bipartisan basis, the Committee is breaking from the precedent set by other Congressional inquiries into the Benghazi attacks,” Clinton spokesman Brian Fallon said in a statement.
“And in leaking out select portions from their report in the middle of the night, without even allowing some of the committee’s own members to see it, the Republican members are clearly seeking to avoid any fact-checking of their discredited, conspiracy theories,” he added.
The campaign also argued that the report didn’t find anything new.
“After more than two years and more than $7 million in taxpayer funds, the Committee report has not found anything to contradict the conclusions of the multiple, earlier investigations,” Fallon said.
The Clinton campaign also brought up House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s (R-CA) notorious September comments, in which the House Republican argued that the Benghazi committee was successful because it hurt Clinton in the polls.
“This report just confirms what Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy and even one of Trey Gowdy’s own former staffers admitted months ago: this Committee’s chief goal is to politicize the deaths of four brave Americans in order to try to attack the Obama administration and hurt Hillary Clinton’s campaign,” Fallon said in the statement.
I still don’t understand how an almost intact bullet was found on that hospital gurney.
Here is your nothing-burger, sir. And the bill–$7,000,000. Plus tip.
No October surprise here. Not surprising that Howdy Gowdy can’t even read a calendar.
Guess Ryan will have to seat a whole new committee…obviously this one didn’t spend enough. Maybe he should have Americas dumbest congresscritter Louie Gohmert chair that one.
OFC the burners are still holding out hope for the FBI imminent indictment…
You’re out of date. It’s election fraud that will get Hillary now. Didn’t you read about the “Stanford report” which proved election fraud by exit polling?
There are investigations of fraud in several states. Did you hear that—investigations!!
She is doomed.
Anyway, Bernie polls better against Trump since… since forever!
