In a move that seems amazingly amateurish, the Democrats on the House Select Committee on Benghazi released their "report" on the results of the committee's investigation today. It should come as no surprise that the report says that both president Obama and Hillary Clinton acted in a perfectly proper manner. The report also says that there was nothing that the military could have done to help those being attacked in Libya.
It's a very unusual thing for the minority on a committee to issue its own report before the majority issues the committee's official report. I cannot find any other instance where this has happened, but it may have. The point here is that the Democrats on the committee know what it is that the Republican majority has put together in the official report. It must be very damning stuff for the Democrats to jump the gun like this. Indeed, my guess is that the recapitulation of the facts from Benghazi will be devastating to Hillary Clinton. We already know that a few hours into the attack, Clinton went home for the night and didn't even have any further communications about the attack that night. Most likely, she just went to sleep while the Americans in Libya were under attack. Maybe she watched a movie. We don't know what she did. We do know, however, that she was not monitoring the US response to the attack.
It will be interesting to see what's in the committee report when it gets issued. Hopefully, it won't just be a political document like today's "report" from the Dems.
