Displaying an increasingly hostile tone, Republicans Thursday sought to discredit the findings of a report on last year’s deadly assault on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, and criticize former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s response.

Ambassador Thomas Pickering and Adm. Mike Mullen, who led the Accountability Review Board’s report on the attacks, appeared before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee to answer GOP criticism that their findings were watered down and protected Clinton.

The GOP pressed Mullen and Pickering on why they didn’t interview Clinton or criticize other top State Department officials, making the case that the former secretary should have been interviewed.

California Rep. Darrell Issa, the committee chairman, cut witnesses off, interrupted fellow lawmakers and accused the administration of withholding witnesses from the panel and obstructing his investigation.

1. Issa, Fake news and the rest of the GOPer establishment

will be investigating Benghazi all the way to 2016 and beyond because they want to discredit Hillary Clinton. The GOP establishment don't give a eff about anything else when it comes to facts. Their sole purpose is to destroy her. Think of Obamacare 20 times.

4. Correct....Benghazi hearings is a ploy to destroy

Hillary's candidacy in 2016. Which is why they are moving at a snails pace so that the investigations can be prolonged right up to 2016.

Who lost their lives under Bush

3. A lot of attacks happened near embassies back then

but no ambassadors died, but maybe some lower level diplomats did.

5. That Issa is a member of Congress is a disgrace in itself.

These people are a joke.
