Clinton Says It’s Time To Move On From Benghazi


hilHillary Clinton said Tuesday the nation should move on after Republicans on the House Benghazi Committee released a report critical of the slow response to the deadly 2012 attacks at the U.S. diplomatic outpost in Libya.

The former secretary of state said at a campaign event in Denver that the report involved more than two years and $7 million but “found nothing, nothing to contradict” the findings of earlier investigations.

“I’ll leave it to others to characterize this report but I think it’s pretty clear it’s time to move on,” Clinton told reporters.

The committee’s 800-page report, released by Republican members, offered no “smoking gun” about Clinton’s role as secretary of state. The Sept. 11, 2012, attacks, which killed four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens, have been pointed to by Republicans as a major failure by the Obama administration and by Clinton during her tenure leading the State Department.

Republican Donald Trump, Clinton’s likely opponent, has repeatedly blamed her for the deaths in Benghazi, falsely contending in a speech last week that she “slept” through the attack. Trump has also slammed her for the initial response from the Obama administration saying the attack was inspired by an anti-Muslim video on YouTube rather than a planned assault.

Clinton, the presumptive Democratic nominee, noted her lengthy testimony before the panel last year, adding: “We owe it to those brave Americans to make sure we learn the right lessons from this tragedy.”

She said the “best way to honor the commitment and sacrifices” of the four Americans is to “redouble our efforts to provide the resources and support that our diplomats and our development experts deserve.”

  1. These deranged comments by the Leftist AP are totally worthless. See what Trey Gowdy and the Navy seals have to say about it and you will see that Benghazi was an unmitigated disaster and Hillary is fully guilty of the deaths of the Americans involved.

  2. Time To Move On From Benghazi? After, you Hillary, let 4 Americans die in cold blood and lied to American People and the whole world about fake video? It is time for you to move to prison.

  3. The Clintons have always been corrupt, now is no different. I hope our people will be smart and not vote for Democrats.
