And another Republican talking point crashes, and burns. The House Select Intelligence Committee released its findings:
The panel "...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."
But...but...what about that Susan Rice thing?!?!? Surely, that was a thing, right?
Now, just to be clear, this was an investigation that was being run by the Republican led House of Representatives. So, after a two year investigation, The Republicans came to the exact same conclusion as 6 other investigations found, and everyone else in Washington - and everywhere else, for that matter - already knew; that the Obama Administration did nothing wrong. Gee...what a shock.
Ironically, the "House Intelligence Committee report was released with little fanfare on the Friday before Thanksgiving week." After all, after all of the noise that Republicans, and the fake conservatives have been making during the last two years about how Obama must have done something wrong, the last thing Republicans want anyone doing is paying attention when the report from their own investigation comes out, and makes them look like idiots.

In the immediate aftermath of the attack, intelligence about who carried it out and why was contradictory, the report found. That led Susan Rice, then U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, to inaccurately assert that the attack had evolved from a protest, when in fact there had been no protest. But it was intelligence analysts, not political appointees, who made the wrong call, the committee found. The report did not conclude that Rice or any other government official acted in bad faith or intentionally misled the American people.
