The Benghazi investigation has taken a very long time because Hillary Clinton, The State Department and The White House has slow-walked and withheld documents, prevented key personnel from testifying and done whatever they could to keep The American People from knowing the truth as to why four Americans died.

Iraq was a war and was exactly that, a war and was dully authorized by Congress. Why would Congress investigate something that they called for and approved?

BTW – Hillary voted to go to war in Iraq.

I've said many times I will not vote for Hillary. That doesn't make this ongoing investigation any less bogus.

i will add this, thru the years i have seen (as many of you have) many of these types of hearings and committees. we have seen people answer deceptively, we have seen people lie, we have seen people refuse to answer. personally i did not feel like any of those traits were shown today. i am sure some feel that is not the case today but we have all seen much worse than we saw today.

The Congress has a responsibility of oversight and to answer the American People’s questions.

The American People want to know why our ambassador and three other Americans were killed in Benghazi by Islamic Extremist Terrorists after Obama said Al Qaeda has been decimated and was on the run.

The American People want to know why there was such a total failure of security at our facility in Benghazi, why our ambassador’s repeated requests for more security were denied by Hillary Clinton and why Hillary Clinton and Obama lied about the reason for the attack.

mule as you said yourself, did you watch this? more security wasn't denied. even the committee acknowledged this. yes every single request wasn't approved. yes more could have been done, in hindsight. but there were alot of security requests that were approved also, just not all of them.

as you said the email to the egyptian prime minister is something new. but is it a crime or a mistake?

look, we'd all like perfect intelligence and perfect decisions. but i hope you understand that "stuff happens".

LOL sorry i had to throw that in.

this whole thing isn't as evil as some like to make it out to be, it is Human. i just don't see anything criminal, as you said, lets wait to see what the FBI finds.

"as you said the email to the egyptian prime minister is something new. but is it a crime or a mistake?"
- the lie was intentional. Obama was 46 days away from the election and if it were known his "Al Qaeda is decimated and on the run lie would be exposed.

"look, we'd all like perfect intelligence and perfect decisions. but i hope you understand that "stuff happens"."
- She is running for President. It make a big difference.

Like I said, this hearing is nothing compared to the FBI criminal investigation.

The people either love her or hate her... a lot.

The sun will rise again tomorrow. Or so we are told.

I watched this last night, as it was going on 8, 9, 10, 11 hours of testimony (every time time I flipped the channel then came back, I was shocked it was still going), and the partisan grandstanding by committee members on BOTH sides was shameful and embarrassing and made me want to hurl. What a charade.

The mother of one of the brave CIA officers killed in Benghazi speaks out against the political charade that is this committee...

Mother of contractor slain in Benghazi hopes hearing is ‘end of it’

As former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton testified Thursday at an emotionally charged hearing being held by a House committee investigating the 2012 attacks in Benghazi, Libya, the mother of a CIA operative from Massachusetts who died in the assault refused to turn on the television, and instead, tended to her garden in Woburn.

Barbara Doherty did not watch Clinton’s long-awaited questioning by the House Select Committee on Benghazi, and denounced the panel as politically motivated.

Her son, Glen Doherty, was killed on Sept. 11, 2012 when Islamic militants attacked a US diplomatic base in the war-torn north African nation.

Three other Americans also died at the post, including US Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens.

Doherty, 42, was a former Navy SEAL and “everyone’s best friend,” his mother said.

“I hope this is the end of it,” Barbara Doherty said in a telephone interview. “I’m trying to stay out of this political debacle.”

The GOP-led committee on Benghazi has come under recent scrutiny after House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, a Republican, implied the committee’s existence was to derail Clinton’s campaign for the Democratic nomination for president.

In his opening statement Thursday, US Representative Trey Gowdy attempted to quell the committee’s critics. Gowdy, the committee’s chairman, said the hearing’s purpose was not to attack Clinton, but to honor the men that died in Libya, including Glen Doherty.

Doherty’s mother disagreed.

“They’re so intent on focusing on one person they’re not looking at the whole picture,” she said, referring to Clinton. “It’s been such a long journey.”

On Thursday, Glen Doherty’s name was mentioned several times during Clinton’s questioning.

Gowdy, in his opening statement, praised the four victims as “Americans who believed in service and sacrifice.”

And Clinton called Doherty, who grew up in Winchester, brave.

“Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty worked for the CIA,” Clinton said, referencing another victim of the attacks. “They were both former Navy SEALs and trained paramedics with distinguished records of service, including in Iraq and Afghanistan.”

In the three years since Doherty’s death, his family has advocated for the rights of federal contractors in war zones, according to his mother.

As an independent contractor who was unmarried and without children, Doherty was ineligible to receive death benefits afforded to military personnel under the Defense Base Act of 1941, although he was employed by the CIA, she said.

The family is working with Congressman Stephen F. Lynch to craft a law that would remove those barriers.

On Jan. 26, Lynch introduced The Glen Anthony Doherty Overseas Security Personnel Fairness Act.

“It is unacceptable that the Defense Base Act requires federal workers to take out an insurance policy before they are deployed overseas and accepts the payment of insurance premiums from those workers, but fails to provide death benefits to their families or estate solely based on marital and child status,” Lynch stated on his website.

Barbara Doherty said she knew of 80 slain contractors who were unmarried and without children since 1989.

“My child died defending the country and the government says sorry but no one does anything to change the law,” Doherty said, calling the Defense Base Act “outdated.”

If Congress wanted to honor her son, it would work on these policy issues, not question Clinton, she said.

“[Glen] wasn’t political at all,” Doherty said, adding that she still communicates with his well-wishers from across the world. “He saved the lives of many people and he was an exceptional human being.”

Glen Doherty’s mother was told by Hillary Clinton, Obama, Biden and Susan Rice that they would find and throw in jail the creator of the video staying with the lie they were also telling the American People about the cause of the Benghazi tragedy when they all knew full well it was an Islamic Extremist Terrorist attack. They lied to her face while standing next to the coffin of her son and they knowingly lied to the American People.

It is not hard to understand why. Obama was 56 days from the election and admitting the truth would have exposed his “Al Qaeda is decimated and on the run” bullsh*t.

They lied for purely political reasons and should be held accountable.

Proven fact.

I'm sorry it doesn't neatly fit into your political rhetoric and that Hillary Clinton, Obama, Biden and Susan Rice have been proven liars. But as usual when caught lying the Democrats blame the Republicans. What else could they do? Tell the truth? Why change now?

Did you notice the Hillary documents displayed at the hearing yesterday that proved she was lying?

Missed that fact did ya?

Are you saying Republicans would spend millions of tax payer dollars on this investigation, discover perjury, and then not bring perjury charges against Hillary Clinton, the woman they are trying to destroy?

Think about what you are saying Mule. It just doesn't make sense Sir.

Now you are worried about spending tax-payer money?
I didn't hear a peep out of you when Obama spent $50 million tax-payer dollars to train 5 Syrian Freedom Fighters only to have 3 killed, one to join ISIS and one "missing".

This entire episode makes perfect sense to those who want the truth and accountability.

If Hillary perjured herself why aren't the Republicans doing anything about it?

The empty seats are of those who were murdered by the Islamic Extremist Terrorists and that of another fact that has gone missing:

Are people who go to other countries bombing and shooting others considered terrorists?

And by the way, our govt. has had a long history of financing terrorists and giving them weapons to take out leaders in other countries, it's called proxy wars. That is how Moammar Gaddafi was deposed. We sent weapons and money to the rebels. And those rebels were not freedom fighting locals, they were Al Qaida, and the Washington Post documented it.

And where are we today? Libya is an Islamic Extremist Terrorist haven and Obama's failed foreign policy allowed it to happen.
Hillary Clinton's gross negligence in securing our facility and personnel in Libya cost four Americans their lives .
Hillary Clinton, Obama, Biden and Susan Rice lied about what happened.

Hillary Clinton is running for president. that is also why it matters.

The truth must not be a casualty of a political agenda.

The investigation has much further work as the Obama administration and The State Department has obstructed the truth about Benghazi for years.

If The Congress referred perjury charges against Hillary to Obama’s Justice Department Obama would make sure it was not prosecuted.

Proof of such corruption was issued yesterday when Obama’s Justice Department refused to pursue any charges in the IRS corruption against Obama’s political opponents.

Has obstructed the truth? Ever consider that the Republicans are wrong and wasting our money to further a political objective? I'd love to bring trumped up charges against people and just keep investigating until I "find something".

This is the antithesis of the American jurisprudence system. These folks call themselves Constitutionalists and all I see are traitors to the Constitution.

_________________________________________________________________________

The Republicans, the Americans that were actually on the ground in Benghazi, the intelligence services and the families of the four Americans murdered due to Hillary Clinton’s intentional failure to secure their facility while forwarding Obama’s political agenda and then lying to those families and The American People are why this investigation is so necessary.
It is funny to hear a liberal talk about The Constitution, the basis of our laws that Obama regularly ignores why it is not politically expedient.

One example is Obama’s illegal immigration executive orders which have been stayed by two federal courts. Throw in the consequences of Obama’s illegal actions and the left’s support if the illegal sanctuary cities which are getting innocent American citizens assaulted, raped and murdered.

Then again, human life is an aside to the liberal’s political agenda.

Your type calls the Benghazi scandal/investigation a Republican witch hunt. Then how do you explain the FBI’s criminal investigation prompted by the State Department and the intelligence Services Inspector Generals. Not a Republican in sight.

Explain that.

why are you surprised and upset that a politician was caught lying? considering all politicians lie on a daily basis, about things worse than this, it makes me wonder what really bothers you about the left....because it's clearly not because they lied.

You are going to question the Patriotism of all the people who don't think like you think. Good job Mule. You are a real American.

Your ignorance and your name calling used to bother me.

Now I know you are a pathetic, moron, who lies, not only to others, but also to himself. You are a sad, sad pathetic man.

I've said many times I will not vote for Hillary. That doesn't make this ongoing investigation any less bogus.

Don't you think it's important to find out exactly what happened that night? Rule #1 in the military is to NEVER let your brothers in arms get slaughtered when they are under attack and begging for help. We offer resistance when it's called for. We don't leave people behind. Why was that maxim disregarded in this case? Who made that decision and why? If for no other reason, the families and the American people deserve these answers.
