“Over the past two weeks, we have heard the truth from the Republican House Majority Leader, one of Chairman Gowdy’s own handpicked ‘conservative Republican’ investigators, and now yet another Republican Member of Congress, all saying what is crystal clear to those of us who have been working inside the Committee on a daily basis. In light of the McCarthy-Hanna-Podliska admissions, it is finally time for the Republican Party to stop denying the undeniable, stop defending the indefensible, and stop using millions of taxpayer dollars for the illegitimate purpose of trying to damage Hillary Clinton’s bid for president.”

Moreover, the majority of the Select Committee’s 30 new interviews have been with State Department employees, and they have included current and former campaign officials, IT employees, press officials, and others who had little or nothing to do with the attacks in Benghazi. Overall, the Select Committee has conducted nearly ten times as many interviews with State Department employees than Defense Department employees (38 compared to 4).

“We call on Chairman Gowdy to use his authority and influence to put an immediate halt to this reprehensible, shameful, and false campaign attack ad that uses images of Ambassador Stevens’ grave—without his family’s permission—and exploits the deaths of four Americans to damage Secretary Clinton’s bid for president. We condemn the actions of the people behind this ad in the strongest possible terms, and we demand that the Select Committee halt any further interaction with this group.”

“This stunning concession from Rep. McCarthy reveals the truth that Republicans never dared admit in public: the core Republican goal in establishing the Benghazi Committee was always to damage Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign and never to conduct an even-handed search for the facts. It is shameful that Republicans have used this tragedy and the deaths of our fellow Americans for political gain. Republicans have blatantly abused their authority in Congress by spending more than $4.5 million in taxpayer funds to pay for a political campaign against Hillary Clinton.”

Press Release
“The Benghazi Select Committee has now become one of the longest and least active congressional investigations in history. The Committee has squandered the last 16 months and more than 4.5 million taxpayer dollars dredging up political attacks to impact the 2016 presidential election -- a severe misuse of taxpayer funds and Congressional power. The Committee has turned into a political punchline. Sadly, that comes at the expense of being taken seriously and being able to take effective, bipartisan actions to improve the security of our diplomats abroad.”
