Rep. Trey Gowdy, chair of the House Select Committee on Benghazi
It took a select committee a year
to investigate the Hurricane Katrina response. Another select committee took a year and a half to investigate 9/11. Benghazi? That's going to take longer. No doubt coincidentally, that investigation is going to stretch
into the presidential election year of 2016. Naturally, it's all the Obama administration's fault, according to the Republicans running the Benghazi committee:
“Factors beyond the committee’s control, including witness availability, compliance with documents requests, the granting of security clearances and accreditations — all of which are controlled by the Executive branch—could continue to impact the timing of the inquiry’s conclusion,” spokesman Jamal Ware said.
Right. They just haven't gotten enough information and people haven't talked to them. I mean, other than this:
The committee has interviewed close to two dozen witnesses and received thousands of pages of documents but is still negotiating with the State Department, FBI and CIA for more access.
Hey, it takes work to manufacture the smoking gun your party needs to run against Hillary Clinton, and the House Intelligence Committee
sure didn't help when it found no intelligence failures in Benghazi.
