Limitations of space and time force me to skip to Benghazi, where it has been alleged that Hillary Clinton somehow was responsible for the deaths of four Americans and lied to the bereaved and everyone else about what happened and why. This investigation was the eighth created by the Republican-controlled Congress and, in terms of witnesses called and papers written, may well exceed the numbers produced by all the other investigations combined — but not in vain. The Benghazi committee established beyond a doubt that Hillary Clinton was secretary of state at the time the Americans were killed — proof enough, some would have it, of her guilt.
