Democrats on Monday aimed to knock down a number of what they called “wild Republican conspiracy theories about Secretary Clinton and Benghazi,” just days before Hillary Clinton was scheduled to publicly testify before the select committee tasked with investigating the 2012 terror attacks.
The House Select Committee on Benghazi’s Democratic staff released a 124-page report that argued the more than 50 interviews and depositions given to the panel provided no evidence to support some claims put forward by Republicans about Clinton’s response to the attacks on the U.S. diplomatic compound in Libya.
Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD), the ranking Democrat on the committee, called for its dissolution for the first time in a statement accompanying the report.
“Republicans have now admitted repeatedly that they are spending millions of taxpayer dollars to damage Secretary Clinton’s campaign for president,” Cummings said in the statement. “This report shows that no witnesses we interviewed substantiated these wild Republican conspiracy theories about Secretary Clinton and Benghazi. It’s time to bring this taxpayer-funded fishing expedition to an end.”
Clinton will testify before the panel Thursday at an open hearing.
Read the report below:
Just because there is no evidence does not mean there is no conspiracy! The lack of evidence in evidence in itself of a cover-up! We don’t need less investigations, we need more, and if THOSE don’t turn up evidence, we’ll just keep digging until we get to that dark greasy charcoal nugget of truth so we can set it alight for all America to see!!!1!!
It’s like the Dems are getting bolder. I wonder why?

Reading that report from Rep Elijah Cummings brings to mind something Hillary said a couple of DECADES ago . . . Something about a “vast right-wing conspiracy”. And now it’s being funded by . . . Us! Imagine that.
