The GOP report regarding the Benghazi attack has quietly been released by House Republicans. There isn't nearly the fanfare there was when it was announced they were going to investigate.
The Friday report by the Republican-led House Select Committee on Intelligence found no intelligence failure prior to the attacks, no evidence that the White House told the military to stand down during the attack and no evidence that the CIA was involved in related arms shipments. The report did, however, find that the consulate was inadequately protected.
As for the initial message from the Obama administration that the attack began with a spontaneous protest, the committee did find that inaccurate but blamed unclear intelligence reports, not a purposeful attempt from the White House to mislead.
The select committee's report on the Benghazi attack that killed four Americans took two years and thousands of hours of work in Congress.
