When you ran away and I got on my knees and begged--  OK, probably not that one.

Back in August, the House Intelligence Committee (led by Republicans) declassified the report of the investigation into the attack on the consulate at Benghazi, Libya, but didn't make it public.

It has now been made public.

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.

[...]

... Many of its findings echo those of six previous investigations by various congressional committees and a State Department panel. The eighth Benghazi investigation is being carried out by a House Select Committee appointed in May.

Yup. The Party of Fiscal Responsibility (laughing yet?), wasting your money. Because they can. Lampreys.
