The GOP Led investigation found the following. But if you notice, when they are in front of cameras they say something different to keep the so called 'scandal' going. IM interested to see what more there is to discuss on this matter, besides conspiracy theories, and unsourced staments made by nameless people.

The HPSCI-established timeline (attached) remains accurate.
-
All CIA activities in Benghazi were legal and authorized. On-the-record testimony establishes that CIA was not sending weapons (including MANPADS) from Libya to Syria, or facilitating other organizations or states that were transferring weapons from Libya to Syria.
-
The Annex response team acted heroically to evacuate Americans at the Temporary Mission Facility (TMF).
-
The team responded to a call for help and almost certainly saved lives despite putting the Annex at increased risk and not being a part of the TMF’s formal security plan.
-
The Annex team had necessary authority to depart for the TMF. Once prepared, officers engaged in a tactical discussion about the threat they faced at the TMF, and what weapons and external support to bring to TMF. During the discussion, there was a delay as the tactical situation was discussed, but HPSCI found no evidence that the team was ordered or directed to stand down.
-
We have found no CIA officer who has been forced to undergo polygraphs or to sign non-disclosure agreements specific to Benghazi or otherwise dissuaded from or punished for wanting to speak to Congress. Several CIA officials have stated on the record that no such pressure would be tolerated. One instance of routine NDA signings was done in poor taste by the CIA during a Memorial service.
-
The IC provided significant intelligence reporting and analysis that warned of a deteriorating security environment in Benghazi leading up to the attacks. For example, on April 16 and 17, as much as five months before the attacks, the IC provided clear warning about the activities and the growth of terrorist groups in Benghazi.
-
The Administration talking points after the attacks were changed by a bureaucratic process, led by the White House, during which the intelligence community overemphasized formal intelligence reporting over direct knowledge of officers who assessed that it was a terrorist attack and not a protest gone awry.
-
The IC has collected extensive information on many of the Benghazi attackers, but early coordination between IC and DoD was lacking, many intelligence gaps remain, and the Administration has yet to establish an effective plan to bring known attackers to justice.
-
There has been no contradiction to date of the Committee’s findings contained in the Interim Progress Report for the Members of the Republican Conference on the Events Surrounding the September 11, 2012 Terrorist Attack in Benghazi, Libya, a report produced at the direction of Speaker John Boehner.
