Frankel Statement on Benghazi Resolution

Congresswoman Lois Frankel (FL-22) voted against a partisan bill to create a select committee charged with investigating the 2012 embassy attacks in Benghazi.

“We are about to watch another political show at the expense of the American people,” said Congresswoman Frankel.

In the aftermath of the Benghazi attacks – which claimed the lives of four Americans – there were seven official reviews: one by the State Department Accountability Review Board, two bipartisan Senate reports, and four partisan House Republican reports. Republicans have held more than 13 hearings, 50 briefings, and reviewed 25,000 pages of documents.

Despite the millions of dollars spent by agencies to respond to congressional inquiries, none of these investigations uncovered evidence of a conspiracy, cover-up, or that the Administration deliberately misled anyone.
