On July 31, when all eyes were focused on the Ted Cruz-stoked chaos unfolding in the House chamber over the border bill, the Republican-led House Intelligence Committee did something rather remarkable. It voted to declassify its Benghazi report. After two years of investigation, it found no evidence to buttress any of the conspiracy theories surrounding the Sept. 11, 2012, attack that killed Chris Stevens, the U.S. ambassador to Libya, and three other Americans.
We didn’t get this news from committee chairman Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Mich.). Nope. There was a story in the San Francisco Chronicle on Friday. A press release from Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger (D-Md.), the ranking Democrat on the committee, spelled out the details. The key information is below.
This report shows that there was no intelligence failure surrounding the Benghazi attacks that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other brave Americans. Our investigation found the Intelligence Community warned about an increased threat environment,

Well, I’m thinking we can just give up on any “intelligence” coming from the current US govt.
This regime is evil as all hell.... But they’re NOT intelligent.
I think the term that the administration insiders kept using back around 2011/2012 was “intellectual”.....not “intelligent”. They openly bragged about this capability on Sunday chatter shows.
I kept wondering....how exactly they’d ever demonstrate this newfound ability, and if they knew what to do with it. Just sitting around and talking Shakespeare but never acting in a scene or delivering four-hundred lines of text without a script in front of you...would have easily shown the intellectual prowess of the “team”. But they seem to lack such talents.
Bastards watched 4 US citizens being murdered by islamists!
The conspiracy was and is attempting to cover it up!
The liberals are very worried about Gowdy’s special panel....so, they quickly release a report to say “nothing here, no conspiracy” in an effort to create the narrative of a witch hunt.
The big question remaining is why was a rescue mission not mounted?
This statement could be almost true; after you separate and disregard all the facts in evidence.
"In short, all of the things that were alleged to have happened didn’t happen".
So there you have it folks; move on now.
This regime is a prime example of the “intellectualism” and “intelligence” coming out of our universities these days. It’s also a prime example of why PC and affirmative action are such total losers.
Stabbed in the back by another Hillary-connected GOPe...so typical...
Mike Rogers (GOPe-MI) conveniently isn’t running for re-election...
Maybe Rogers thinks he might need to plead the 5th at some point, so he’s trying to squash Gowdy’s investigation?
I don’t see that it answered the question, where was the President?
The failure was the lack of action once the riot began.
A US ambassador was under attack: what actions were taken to provide protection? Did the State department ask the military for assistance? If so, what was requested and what was provided? If not, why not?
Who in the chain of command made the requests (or not and what were the responses?
There sure as hell is a conspiracy to cover up something and in all probability it is gun running from Libya to Syria via Turkey. We have several thousand Man Pads missing in Libya. Rest assured they are in the hands of terrorists. What the hell is Obama going to say when they shoot down an American or NATO allies civilian airliner on approach or departure. At those two points they are low and slow and very vulnerable. The terrorists know this and are bidding their time.
1. Stabbing Mubarak in the back and helping to bring the Muslim Brotherhood to power in Egypt. Thankfully, this has been reversed since.
2. Helping to grow ISIS though fueling the Syrian opposition and fumbling a Status-of-Forces agreement with Iraq.
3. Throwing a lifeline to Hamas and threatening to turn Israel into an apartheid state.
4. Taking it easy on Iran, which will probably result in them developing a nuclear bomb. If this occurs, which looks ever more likely, it will be the mother of all destabilizing events and the crowning failure of Obama’s foreign policy.
Basically, Obama has an affection for the Muslim Brotherhood that is inexplicable for someone who claims to be a Christian. He has a habit of succoring our enemies, stabbing our allies in the back, and pouring gasoline to inflame already bad situations. Why would anyone trust or even believe us? They wouldn't. They'll just give lip service to Obama and Kerry and count the days till they are gone. But the damage is done.
If NOTHING Nefarious was going on, MIKEY, then WHY won't Obama let you talk to ANY of the SURVIVORS????? And WHY did they have to sign their lives away to not ever talk about that night???
Obama is LAW-LESS because Republican "leaders" are BALL-LESS!!!
What do they have on you, Mikey??? IDIOT!
I want to know where was obama and who called back the rescue mission.
There's nothung conspiratorial about that.
Has anybody objective actually read the report? All I’ve seen is Leftist commentary via a Democrat.
Correct.
What freaking conspiracy theories? The known facts are damning enough.
They'll be happy to hear that.
