Benghazi "Independent" "Review" "Board" To To Further Perjur Itself This Week

Time for Representative Gowdy to get out his hip waders again:




And here's a sneak preview, which is about as redundantly unnewsworthy as another Colin Kaepernik bicep tattoo:

The State Department review of the Benghazi terror attack let senior officials off the hook for the policy decisions that led to sub-standard security at the U.S. compound in eastern Libya, according to a draft House committee report obtained by Fox News.

To quote the base drummer in my high school marching band after a band competition in which everybody in Spokane's Joe Albi Stadium knew which school was going to win but the Will Farrell-esque PA announcer tried to milk it for schlocky suspense anyway, "Noooooo s[bleep]; f[bleep ], what was your first guess?"

The nearly 100-page report concludes that the State Department’s "internal" "review" "board" -- called the "Accountability" "Review" "Board", or ARB -- was flawed. The report by Republicans on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee alleges the board’s probe was not comprehensive, its interviews were not thorough, and the investigation itself may have been damaged by conflicts of interest.

Really?  No foolin'?  Wow, if you didn't know better, you could almost wonder if this wasn't some kind of - what's the word? - cover-up or something.

A central finding is that the department, as a result of the board’s findings, meted out discipline to four mid-level officials (who were later reinstated anyway), but the board glossed over the actions and decisions of senior-level officials. The report claims the "internal" "review" identified many of the security problems with the Benghazi compound, while ignoring who was behind the policy decisions that led to them.

"Really and truly, Mr. Leghorn, I watched over and cared for your hens like they were my very own kits.  I'm as shocked and saddened as you are that some fiend somehow got into the coop and turned them into impromptu McNuggets, and as at a loss as to how I came to be covered in bloody feathers.  But I want you to know that I'm launching an internal investigation to get to the bottom of this tragedy as we speak.  Subpeonas are already on their way to Colonel Sanders and Annie Popeye.  Because if there's even one thing we can do, if there's just one cluck we can save, we've got an obligation to try.  Especially with sweet & sour dipping sauce.  I love that stuff."
