As we reported yesterday, GOP Rep. and chairman of the House Oversight Committee Jason Chaffetz announced that he will not be seeking any public office in 2018. The news has caused a wave of amazing conspiracy theories regarding Benghazi. If you’re keeping score at home, here’s an update:

The latest narrative being pushed is that Rep. Chaffetz framed then-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton for Benghazi:

1. Months ago, I heard an interesting theory from credible source about why GOP intentionally sought to cut budget for security at Benghazi.

3. One theory: this was a set-up to ensnare SOS Hillary in a scandal to weaken her in her inevitable presidential race.

There’s more to it but you get the idea. And that kind of thing will be making the rounds for some time to come:
Word is he was party to cutting security for Benghazi to make Clinton look bad. Real blood on his hands…

That's real blood on their hands. They killed those people. I feel sick.

That's what I'm referring to. That there might be something on him about it, that's all. He's leaving in quite a hurry.

Wait, so NOW Benghazi is a thing for the liberals? I can't keep up.
