Democrats release Benghazi report

[Cigar]

Washington (CNN)Democrats on Monday pre-empted the upcoming release of a Republican-led House Select Committee report on Benghazi by issuing their own version of a probe into the 2012 terror attack that killed four Americans on Hillary Clinton's watch as secretary of state.

The move by Democrats on the panel was designed to debunk the conclusions of the committee's majority report that is expected to be highly critical of Clinton.

"We have been hampered in our work by the ongoing Republican obsession with conspiracy theories that have no basis in reality," said the Democratic report, which underscored the fierce political divisions between Republicans and Democrats over the attack on a U.S. consular post and a CIA annex in the Libyan port city. "Rather than reject these conspiracy theories in the absence of evidence -- or in the face of hard facts -- Select Committee Republicans embraced them and turned them into a political crusade."

"We hope our report will put to rest the conspiracy theories about Benghazi once and for all and return the focus to where it belongs—on the goal of improving the security of Americans serving abroad," the report continued.

House Democrats Release Their Own Preemptive Benghazi Report

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/house...ry?id=40162406


Frustrated Democrats on the House special committee investigating the 2012 Benghazi terror attack released separate findings today, preempting the long-awaited results expected to be announced by the committee Republicans as early as Tuesday.

Committee Democrats, led by Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Maryland, say it was necessary to release their own report because the Republicans, led by Chairman Trey Gowdy, R-South Carolina, refused to issue a joint report that would incorporate opinions of the minority group.

The Benghazi Select Committee was established over two years ago even after numerous official investigations had already occurred, paving the way for a highly contentious process that Democrats say is aimed attacking former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and derailing her presidential bid.


The Democrats' 339-page report makes 21 findings it says "debunks many conspiracy theories about the attacks.

" Some of the findings have been shared in previous reports, such as the conclusion that "the State Department’s security measures in Benghazi were woefully inadequate," as this report puts it, and that the Defense Department could not have done anything differently that night to save lives.

It also seeks to counter an argument often made by Republicans: that the Obama administration lied about the attackers' motivations, blaming an anti-Muslim video for a inspiring a spontaneous attack, rather than concluding it was a coordinated action by terrorist militants.

"Administration officials did not make intentionally misleading statements about the attacks, but instead relied on information they were provided at the time under fast-moving circumstances," the report reads.

The report quotes March testimony from Gen. David Petraeus, who was the CIA director at the time of the attack.

"I’m still not absolutely certain what absolutely took place, whether it was a mix of people that are demonstrating with attackers in there, whether this is an organized demonstration to launch an attack, whether ... there was a protest and it grew out of the protest," Petraeus told the committee.
