Benghazi committee - I want a line by line breakdown of the waste of money spent on this

This is outrageous! There is supposedly no money for education, children etc. Republicans make huge cuts yet millions have been spent on a stupid witch-hunt Benghazi committee.

Most recently the findings of the Republican led House Intelligence Committee found NO evidence for many of the accusations hurled at President Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and other government officials.

Over 13 months the Benghazi Select Committee has spent more than $3,500,000, exceeding the budget of the entire House Intelligence Committee. This figure does not include significant expenditures made by the State Department and Defense Department to find and declassify material requested by the committee or the expense of witness travel

I wish they would stop these things but until the American people announce enough I guess it will continue. It is getting ridiculous though.

against the Clintons 20 years ago. Republicans have all sorts of money for witch hunts against Democrats, but nothing for the well-being of the poor or working class.
