House Republicans' Report Sheds New Light on Benghazi Attack
NBC News ^ | June 28, 2016 | by Andrea Mitchell

Posted on 06/28/2016 10:06:13 AM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

A long-awaited report on the 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi details an array of bureaucratic miscues and inter-agency blunders but does not specifically blame former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for events that led to the deaths of four Americans.

One section of the report seems to allege that U.S. officials fundamentally misunderstood who their allies were at the time.

The report found that 35 Americans were saved not by a "quasi-governmental militia" as previous reports concluded, or even a group the U.S. saw as allies. Instead, the report determines that the Americans were saved by the "Libyan Military Intelligence," a group composed of military officers under the Moammar Khaddafy regime.

"In other words, some of the very individuals the United States helped remove from power during the Libyan revolution were the only Libyans that came to the assistance of the US on the night of the Benghazi attacks," the report states.

NBC News was awaiting comment from the White House Tuesday on the report released by the Republican majority on the committee.

She was gun running with the acquiescence of her DOS and also monetary assistance from the Clinton Foundation (with the appropriate retail markup) and that is why she deleted the relevant emails (for this scandal, among others including selling US strategic uranium supplies) because this was, in several ways, blood on her hands and Billy Jeff’s. They both should be tried for murder. She did this because she thought she would get a pass from the FBI and the media - she always has.

I am tired of “light”. These eGOP cowards are light in the loafers. How about some action for once, Trey Gowdy?? He’s milked this situation for three years now.

hardly surprising, as if they were ever really interested in finding fault... establishment stooges always stick up for each other.

I said the same thing about DI years ago.

They play their roles quite well.

After this Benghazi report can democrat leadership be viewed as anything but an enemy of the American people?

I’m serious. This report solidifies what many of us have suspected for many years now, especially under this President, and that is the dems, particularly at the higher levels, are in fact a mortal enemy of all Americans.
