The public does not get to see the last day of a $7 million probe that found little.
WASHINGTON ― If you were hoping to watch the final hearing of the Select Committee on Benghazi and see the members debate and vote on their final report, you’re out of luck.
The committee is meeting Friday in a closed session to hash out any final details in their report, which they rolled out during recess on June 28 without input from the Democratic members of the committee.
Although the Republicans said the 800-page document broke new ground, Democrats said it just rehashed old details. It, like the previous eight probes of the 2012 terrorist attacks in Libya, found no wrongdoing on the part of U.S. officials, although it did echo the previous works in saying the response to the assaults had significant flaws.
Even its release was marred by partisan gamesmanship, with the committee’s GOP leadership selectively giving it to reporters who were not allowed to reach out to Democrats for comment.
Democrats didn’t get copies until shortly before it was released widely. And now they can’t raise objections to the report publicly as it’s wrapped up.

I'll just be glad to see this phony partisan bullshit come to an end. Too bad Republicans weren't as concerned about all the people who were killed at Bush consulates and embassies.
