Clinton exonerated from Benghazi allegations
What a shame.
Final Benghazi report finds no smoking gun pointing to Hillary Clinton
U.S. House Republicans on Tuesday concluded their $7-million, two-year investigation into the deadly attacks in Benghazi, Libya, with fresh accusations of lethal mistakes by the Obama administration but no smoking gun pointing to wrongdoing by Hillary Clinton, then-secretary of state and now the Democrats' presumptive presidential nominee.
After the long investigation, filled with partisan sniping by panel members, none of the new revelations highlighted by the House Benghazi committee in its 800-page report pointed specifically to Clinton's actions before, during or after the Sept. 11, 2012, attacks on the U.S. diplomatic outpost and CIA annex in the eastern Libyan city.
Four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens, died in the attacks. Allegations against Clinton were a main impetus behind the House Republicans' creation of the politically charged, Watergate-style select committee.

While the panel's Republican members took shots at Clinton on Tuesday, Republican South Carolina Rep. Trey Gowdy, the chairman, summed up the document by asking "the American people to read this report for themselves, look at the evidence we have collected and reach their own conclusions."
'Time to move on,' says Clinton
In Denver, Clinton dismissed the report as an echo of previous probes with no new discoveries. "I think it's pretty clear it's time to move on," she said during a campaign stop.
Republican rival Donald Trump, who has frequently lashed out at Clinton over Benghazi, tweeted the attacks were "just another Hillary Clinton failure."
