House Republicans are set to release their report on Benghazi later this afternoon and it will be a “bad day for Hillary Clinton.”
Via Hugh Hewitt and NBC News which has seen the first 175 pages of the 400 page report:
Many damning new details in #Benghazi report. Bad day for @HillaryClinton

According to NBC News, the rescue mission never got off the ground because State Department officials were arguing if the Marines should wear uniforms or not:
"What was disturbing from the evidence the Committee found was that at the time of the final lethal attack at the Annex,…"

"no asset ordered deployed by the Secretary had even left the ground," the report states." Wow.

Report from @NBCNews on #Benghazi: https://t.co/KqN4zz6UbR Secure video show State Dept aides arguing about uniforms of relief force

"conflicting orders from State [+ DOD] officials over whether Marines should wear military uniforms or civilian attire also played a role."

The Marines allegedly changed in and out of their uniforms 4 times as the debate — and the assault on the compound — raged on:
One commander testified "during the course of three hours, he and his Marines changed in and out of their uniforms four times."
— Hugh Hewitt (@hughhewitt) June 28, 2016
"the response to the attacks suffered from confusion and miscommunication circulating between agencies."

Hopefully Donald Trump can hammer this point home:
Hoping @realDonaldTrump makes clear rescue missions he orders won't wast hours changing in and out of uniforms four times
