House Republicans Release 800-Page Report on Benghazi Attacks
-------------------------------------------------------------

House Republicans have released an 800-page report into the 2012 attack
on the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, that killed U.S.
Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans. While the
report criticizes the Obama administration's actions leading up to the
attack, it does not appear to contain any new revelations that could
threaten the presidential campaign of Hillary Clinton, who was secretary
of state at the time of the attack. On the campaign trail in Denver,
Colorado, Tuesday, Clinton blasted the report as a waste of resources.

Hillary Clinton: "I understand that after more than two years and $7
million spent by the Benghazi committee out of taxpayer funds, it had to
today report it had found nothing, nothing to contradict the conclusions
of the independent accountability board or the conclusions of the prior
multiple earlier investigations carried out on a bipartisan basis in the
Congress. So while this unfortunately took on a partisan tinge, I want
us to stay focused on what I've always wanted us to stay focused on, and
that is the important work of diplomacy and development."
