Graham critical of new GOP House report on Benghazi, calls findings 'garbage'

[WestVirginiaRebel]

Fox News:

South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham on Sunday criticized a recently released House Republican report that concludes no intelligence lapses in connection with the fatal Benghazi attacks, saying congressional investigators did a “lousy job.”

 

“I think the report is full of crap,” Graham, a Republican, said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

 

The House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence report released late Friday concluded the CIA and the military acted properly in responding to the 2012 attack on a U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya.

 

The report also found no wrongdoing by Obama administration officials, no delay in sending a CIA rescue team, no missed opportunity for a military rescue and no evidence the CIA was covertly shipping arms from Libya to Syria.

 

“This report puts all the blame on the State Department and absolves the intelligence community,” Graham said.

 

Graham, among the most outspoken Capitol Hill lawmakers about the administration’s handling of Benghazi, also told CNN the report does not exonerate the administration.

 

He said the House committee is “doing a lousy job policing their own.”

There’s more to learn.

 

The Obama Administration may think the Benghazi controversy is settled, but for House Republicans, the fight for transparency has just begun.

 

House Speaker John Boehner announced today that Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) will continue to chair the Select Committee on the September 11, 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya, during the next session of Congress.
