why is it that the right investigated benghazi more than they did iraq and 9/11? this is nothing more than using up the clock. the best way to save money in this pathetic country is to defund congress. right now they are literally a waste of tax payers dollars.

well as far as 9/11 there was a great deal of investigation including the 9/11 report by the special commision, I don't disagree that conservatives have focused a great deal of attention to this matter, but I'd like to keep the discussion focused, if possible, on why the administration lied not why are republicans focusing on it.  If you are a left leaning person I'd like to hear your thoughts on why the admnistration lied.

Actually, there was very very little investigation.  And we will never know what the dude sitting in the White House said:

"Tuesday 27 April 2004

    Washington (Reuters) - The White House said on Tuesday it would not allow any recordings or transcripts of private testimony this week by President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney to the panel investigating the Sept. 11 attacks" http://archive.truthout.org/article/iron-curtain-secrecy-cheney-leads-bush-911-hearing

A court WITHOUT transcrips?  If you go to small claims there are transcrips- and they become public record.  Why is that more imporant than a huge natual security failure that killed close to 3000 people? Please explain why aren't you concered about that?

Even if they aren't released for the 60 years or so they have for sensitive doucments, they should be public records.
