He served on the committee and knows how much the information in GOP report has been cherry picked.

I thought I read that the report is 300 pages and a bit. Still substantial but not 800 pages.

The Dem version is 339 pages. The GOP version is apparently around 800 pages.

onto the desk in front of her after a GOP House scumbag so earnestly suggested voters should read it for themselves.

At least that is my assumption since the report conspicuously finds no new fault with Hillary, spun as a demonstration of their integrity and good faith, and House sleazebags on TV are busy saying it "was never about one person."

On to the next manufactured scandal. Wonder what it'll be. Most of us really tired of Hillary's damned emails.

I saw another comment here that joked - tell 'em to read an 800-page report. That'll lose the GOP base in about five minutes.

Instead they'll tune in for Sean Hannity's distorted explanation.

He won't read it either, but he knows Hillary personally murdered those diplomats because she hates America.

Millions of dollars and years wasted and they want everyone to read the report...that's their job to "inform" the public what they found...which of course is nothing...

Shameful...

The next time I hear some Republican try to use Benghazi against Clinton, I will remind that person that Gowdy himself has said that we should not reach any conclusions until after we read his report.
