Nine Benghazi Hearings Cost Taxpayers $5 Million over 17 Months

My husband and I watched Hillary Clinton on CNN as she testified for over eight hours at the ninth Benghazi hearing. We have also listened to other televised hearings on it and read news reports on this tragic loss of life in Libya. This hearing uncovered absolutely nothing new. There have been more hearings about the four deaths in Benghazi than there were about the thousands of Americans who died in the 9/11 attacks in New York, Pennsylvania and at the Pentagon. The hearings have cost taxpayers $5 million. The only person who has been targeted has been Hillary Clinton ... not the heads of the CIA, the Defense Department or other government agencies. The investigators know what happened, when it happened, where it happened, who it happened to, why the Libyans attacked the ambassador's compound (it was not an official embassy), why the CIA compound's safe room failed to protect the ambassador, and how they died (from smoke inhalation because the safe room did not have an air purification system in the event of a fire). Who, when, where, why, what and how ... all the facts that a good journalist or investigator needs to know. Does this really need to go on? Should we continue to spend money on this? No matter what political candidate you support, isn't it a disgrace that more time and money has been spent on this than 9/11? The waste of money irritates me.
