Capitol Hill lawmakers expressed frustration after their requests for more information on the Libya attack were rebuffed by the State Department, with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton urging lawmakers to wait for the conclusion of an internal review.

That review, though, could take months.

Sens. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., and Johnny Isakson, R-Ga., on Wednesday renewed their demand for documents after Clinton declined to hand over the cables they initially requested. The House Intelligence Committee has not received any documents from the department either, Fox News has learned.

"We hope that in the next few days you follow through with transmitting information requested by members of Congress," Corker and Isakson wrote in a letter to Clinton. "In particular, we renew our request for all communications between the diplomatic mission in Libya and the State Department related to the security situation to be transmitted to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee without delay."

Clinton raised concerns among some Republican lawmakers that she was pushing off the review's conclusions until after the election, as she named a five-member "Accountability Review Board" to examine the deadly Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi.

"No one wants to determine what happened that night in Benghazi more than the president and I do. No one is more committed to ensuring it doesn't happen again, and nobody will hold this department more accountable than we hold ourselves because we serve with and we knew the four men we lost," Clinton said Wednesday.

But she did not address specific allegations that diplomats had warned in advance of security concerns.

The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee is planning to hold a hearing on Oct. 10. In a letter to Clinton on Wednesday, Chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif., asked that the department provide two witnesses -- Eric Nordstrom, who...

Not to worry. Hillary’s head’s in a blender right now. The records will turn up in a year or two in a box on a table where you least expect to find them. She’s a past master at concealment; but things have gotten more serious now, and are at critical mass.

Beck said today that we were in Benghazi because we had to retrieve weapons that were stolen from the United States. I don’t know if this is true but he said Doherty and Woods were actually CIA agents and Muslim Brotherhood was behind it. If this is true, does that mean those weapons used to attack our Embassy were our stolen weapons and if not what kind of weapons were stolen. I don’t know if this is true. Anybody else hear this???

These aggressive Republican senators need to reload and fire another round of demand every 36 hours calling for emails and communication documents.

This needs to be a turn blue moment, by air, land and sea, in print, written in the sky over the State Department, by summons and demand, a blitz that threatens to destroy the career of Hillary Clinton if she keeps hiding what is in plain sight the ONLY evidence that exists anywhere.Every 36 hours.

In Hillary’s clinched fingers is the only location of unimpeachable
evidence of smart power dissolved into stupidity, arrogance and gross dereliction of duty on HER part.
