Final Report Released After Two-Year Investigation Into Benghazi (House Intel)
AP, via The Blaze ^ | 11/21/14 | Oliver Darcy

Posted on 11/22/2014 4:43:18 AM PST by mazda77

WASHINGTON (AP) — A two-year investigation by the Republican-controlled House Intelligence Committee has found that the CIA and the military acted properly in responding to the 2012 attack on a U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, and asserted no wrongdoing by Obama administration appointees.

Debunking a series of persistent allegations hinting at dark conspiracies, the investigation of the politically charged incident determined that there was no intelligence failure, no delay in sending a CIA rescue team, no missed opportunity for a military rescue, and no evidence the CIA was covertly shipping arms from Libya to Syria.

That should be required reading for every Freeper. Awesome analysis.

Common sense tells you the Rogers report is baloney. That link gives you the technical reasons why.

I do expect some noise to be made, but that’s about all one can expect from a congressional committee investigation.

It happened on Hillary’s watch and the GOP expects to be dealing with her as the presidential candidate, so they will whine and moan and make all the right hand gestures and show the right facial expressions.

This is the "intelligence community" covering its own ass.

Remember who is the retiring Chairman of that committee: Mike Rogers, the RINO douchebag. Here's what he plans to do next...

I heard something like it on news...not satire, imho. However what would one expect when the inmates run the prison....or more appropriately the mentally ill running the asylum.

When was the last time that any government led investigation against a part of government has ended any other way?

If there was no delay in sending a rescue team, and no stand down order, why did the rescue team never show? Who ever was on this committee needs to be escorted out of office immediately.

Whitewash. Cover up. No surprise.

Gowdy’s committee will amount to nothing, either. The sooner we realize that those people in Versailles on the Potomac do NOT represent us, the sooner we can clean up the mess.

This is a joke. Trey Gowdy is still in the middle of taking testimony in closed door hearings from new witnesses.

File this one in the FICTION section right next to the Warren Commission Report.

"Who killed Kennedy? I read the first draft of the Warren report. It said he was killed by a drunk driver."

I saw it this a.m. as an AP blurb in the newspaper, with no details.

As I read the details in this article, seems like a whitewash.

That must have been before they had a vision showing them the super-natural flight path of the "Magic Bullet".

That Mike Rogers is the guy who had a staffer who works for Cankles now.

He was on FOX last summer saying everything was copacetic. Nothing to see move along.

In this brave new world, the obama administration is never guilty of anything. Anybody who thinks anyone will pay for the treason at benghazi will be highly disappointed.

With military near by ordered to stay away along with private personal being told to stay out when they could have saved the ones who died, how is that competent or not in need of accountability?

Mike Rogers Rains Fire on Conservative Radio
May 13, 2014

Those who attack the likes of Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Mark Levin – as too conservative, too vitriolic, or simply unhinged – have that right, even if, as is so often the case, they rely on others rather than listen to the shows themselves. That’s what liberals do.

There are pretenders to the throne of conservative talk radio who claim to be so much less “poisonous” and stupid than Limbaugh, Hannity, Levin et al – and travel the same character-assassination route. Congressman Mike Rogers told The New York Times he’s retiring in January to join Cumulus Radio for a national show because “I think there is room for a more productive, you-might-actually-learn-something kind of talk radio in the marketplace.”

Mike Rogers, call your office.

Rogers is such a genius he thinks you launch a career in conservative talk radio by pandering to The New York Times. The article begins with Rogers denouncing all those members of Congress “who would rather raise their profiles and get into the media” than pass legislation. Rogers is so dense he can’t see that he’s denouncing the very road he’s walking down.

Mark Leibovich of the Times described conservative talk radio as a set of “delirium bins,” nudging Rogers to add, “I’m a bit of a canary in a coal mine. And I am hoping I don’t choke on fumes at the bottom of the shaft.” So: talk radio is a dark cave, full of noxious gases. That attitude surely will win audiences over.

Rogers also promoted himself to the Associated Press with a similar line of trash-talking malarkey. Unlike Rush, Sean, and Mark, he will be “a productive conservative host, with smart controversy, smart debate.”

What Rogers doesn’t see is that he isn’t just insulting talk show hosts. This “productive conservative host” is insulting his audience. They are morons, knuckle-draggers unable to think for themselves, unable to be smart. Yes, this is a man who will find a receptive audience on talk radio.

Rogers is delusional. He even agreed with the Lansing News back in Michigan that his radio show could make “a powerful launching pad for a White House bid.” He insisted: "It worked for Ronald Reagan." Earth to Rogers: Reagan didn’t become president by treating his audience like under-educated dolts.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Maggief: Also, see link in post 34...and also this:

Future Cumulus Host Mike Rogers to Keynote Event Honoring 'Ground Zero Imam'

The event was held May 30, 2014.

Rogers backed out at the last minute. Many credit Frank Gaffney's letter to Rogers for Roger's decision to withdraw from the event.
