I know they were stonewalled. It's a matter of record. They jumped from investigation to investigation trying to secure sufficient authority to request classified info, compel delivery, and circumvent a host of legal impediments, and they never succeeded, even after nine attempts.
As for whether there was any wrongdoing to find, I'm making no pronouncement, either for or against. I'm simply saying that the failure of the nine investigations isn't the testament to Ms. Clinton's innocence some believe it to be.
Oh please. You are giving the minority party way too much power... You want to see the majority party use power? Wait til Jan 3. Good luck with that.

Perhaps it was the answer to the unasked question of, "What didn't the attackers find at the embassy that lead them to attack the CIA Annex?" that they were working to cover up.

"It's just one guy" after all. You say this sarcastically, but yours is the weaker argument. Half the nations on Earth, most of which the US does business with, are run by governments known to have blood on their hands. China alone disappears thousands of souls every year--that we know about. If thousands of deaths is insufficient for the US to rail against foreign powers and jeopardize diplomatic ties, why on Earth should the death of one journalist? Because the media says so? Let's hope CSIS never picks off a US journalist. By your logic, the US would have to haul us into a UN tribunal, cripple us with sanctions, and sever all diplomatic ties.

Wow. You got a whole different meaning from what she said than I did. Maybe I'm wrong?

Putin doesn't like journalists writing detrimental articles about him, so he has them killed . "Putin says he didn't do it, and I believe him!" -Donald Trump

Too bad Ivanka didn't read the book her ghostwriter wrote for her, she would have learned something useful.
