Support NeoGAF

[Alucrid]

I'm guessing they won't ever state how much tax money was wasted on this, right?

only 7 million

 

[Orbis Tabula]

Not surprised. Hopefully we can stop using the four dead men as a bludgeon now.

 

[zyxwvu4321]

So I guess this means that the GOP is going to start another committee on it when they get back July 5, right?

 

[TheOfficeMut]

Two employees of mine just read this headline and said that it was definitely covered up for Clinton, that it should have been investigated more, and that scandal was barely publicized by the media, having received no attention whatsoever throughout the years.

While I am familiar with what happened and the ongoing witch hunt that ensued, does anyone have a reliable, concise breakdown of Benghazi and what the controversy was?

 

[Rollo Tomasi]

Glad it is over. What a colossal waste of taxpayer dollars.

 

[Kemal86]

Please let this be over.

 

[teruterubozu]

Please let this be over.

lol.

It'll never end.

 

[Crimson_Fate]

Actually there was some interesting points in that report

"A Fleet Antiterrorism Security Team sat on a plane in Spain for three hours, changing in and out of their uniforms four times." [pg. 154]

Apparently the state department didn't like the optics of having uniformed marines carrying weapons so they changed their mind on what uniform and weapons should be worn & carried. Ultimatley they never went anywhere.

 

[RPGCrazied]

They are still on about this?

Just give up.

 

[radios shipping overview]

[jmdajr]

lol.



It'll never end.

lol. Nice wording.

 

[ChosenPredator]

They are still on about this?

Just give up.

really?

 

[RPGCrazied]

really?

Was the last 12 hour grill fest where they learned absolutely nothing not enough?

that hillary clinton purposefully did not do anything to try and save the lives of the us personnel on the ground in benghazi and actually stymied attempts by our armed forces to get there. conspiracy theorists believe that this was to protect the obama administration and her bid for presidency. which is all bullshit.

 

[Lgndryhr]

Not shocked. Regardless if agree or not, the writing was on the wall.

i understand if they're claiming the administration was incompetent but this is the part i don't get - how would this help them?

 

[Tobor]

Can't wait to hear Trump's excuse for this.

"The panel was handpicked by Obama!"

"What about the emails!"

"But Michael Bay made a movie about it. It must be true!"

Trey Gowdy being handpicked by Obama is so hilarious it hurts.

I don't think even Trump could sell that line of shit.

 

[Monocle]

So what you're saying is her arrest is imminent?

 

[BobTheFork]

I guess it's all about presentation. When I read about the report this morning, the words 'lack' and 'failure of leadership was used' excessively, I assume because that's all they are going to get out of this.

 

[Phoenix]

So when can we expect the next round of investigation?

The day she is sworn in.

LEEDURRRS LEEED.

 

[massoluk]

The headlines around the internet I saw were "Panel found Hillary tried to shift blame to internet video"

Shit son, what's wrong with you? What does this have anything to do with how Benghazi happened?

 

[Marvie_3]

So when can we expect the next round of investigation?

5.....4.....3......

 

[BigDug13]

So what you're saying is her arrest is imminent?

Don't think anyone was talking indictment for this scandal. It was the email scandal.

 

[Monocle]

Don't think anyone was talking indictment for this scandal. It was the email scandal.

So what you're saying is she's definitely going to be incarcerated?

 

[Crisco]

The reporting i've seen for this is so shitty. They are basically reporting the opinions of the House committee members and ignoring the fact there is literally zero evidence in the report to support those opinions.

 

[Apt101]

They're still doing this? Christ what a waste of time and money.

 

[Phoenix]

Can't wait to hear Trump's excuse for this.

"The panel was handpicked by Obama!"

"What about the emails!"

"But Michael Bay made a movie about it. It must be true!"

Oh I can write that script:

"See the Republicans in Congress just didn't want me to win so they concocted this whole thing and let Hillary off the hook so that you would vote for her instead of me. You know, they don't like me. I don't like them. They don't want to make America great again!"

 

[Rockin' Ranger]

I'm going to wait for the results of the 9th investigation before I jump to any conclusions.

 

[Hiltz]

Time to get out of the clown car!

 

[Wolfgunblood Garopa]

The reporting i've seen for this is so shitty. They are basically reporting the opinions of the House committee members and ignoring the fact there is literally zero evidence in the report to support those opinions.

They have to be fair to each individual perception that people may have of what actually happened. Let's say you were convinced that Clinton was directly responsible for those deaths, and someone told you that there was no evidence to warrant that belief. How would you resolve such a situation. Can you imagine.

 

[BobTheFork]

In the end this is going to have about as much impact as 'FRIENDS WITH RADICAL TERRORIST BILL AYERS!"

 

[wenis]

Ding, dong, the farce is dead.

I'll post this article with that sentence on my facebook feed and see how many wonderful responses I get from that one!

 

[hydragonwarrior]

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/29/us/politics/hillary-clinton-benghazi.html

Taxpayers took up this bill. Whoever wanted this should pay up instead of the sane folk who knew this was a waste of time.

 

[studyguy]

Ben Ghazi is kill

I can't believe they're still adamant about attacking her with this despite completely botching that 11hr hearing not that long ago. Stop trying to make Benghazi happen, Gretchen.

 

[Melkezadek]

It's very disrespectful, in my opinion.

 

[DragonSworne]

The democrats should investigate this committee for fraud and abuse of the system.


Republicans shouldn't be able to get away with this stuff.

 

[TyrantII]

As with most things Clinton, where there's smoke there's no fire.

In fact, it wasn't Smoke at all. It was shit being flung so fast it just appeared opaque.

 

[The Technomancer]

WE HAVE TO KEEP DIGGING

 

[gaugebozo]

The reporting i've seen for this is so shitty. They are basically reporting the opinions of the House committee members and ignoring the fact there is literally zero evidence in the report to support those opinions.

I was just listening to NPR, and that's exactly what happened! "The report says that Obama and Clinton hindered the response. Next story."

 

[Stinkles]

Not shocked. Regardless if agree or not, the writing was on the wall.

Lolwut

 

[Randolph Freelander]

So when can we expect the next round of investigation?

This afternoon.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Yeah I just got a news pop-up on my phone that basically said "GOP - US administration failed to protect American lives in Benghazi"

Of course it was attributed to cnn

 

[DietRob]

GOP will never end with this or the aca

 

[old manatee]

To this day I have never talked to someone in real life who actually bought into the Benghazi conspiracy theory.

 

[Slayven]

Seems like the 11th time she been cleared.

Your colleagues now think that everyone interviewed at the CIA, the Department of Defense, the Office of the Secretary of State, the US Embassies, and The White House, along with the Republicans who issued the report and the Democrats who issued the same conclusion, all colluded and duped everyone to protect Clinton?

Incredible

 

[GTI Guy]

It feels like they've spent more time investigating the 4 people who died in Benghazi vs the thousands that died on US soil on 9/11.

 

[Hilbert]

So, when is the next panel being set up?

Surely we aren't accepting this conclusion!

It feels like they've spent more time investigating the 4 people who died in Benghazi vs the thousands that died on US soil on 9/11.

That's because they have.

 

[Raxus]

No justice for Benjamin Ghazi.

His mother Libya is devastated by this.
