Because politically it doesn’t matter. If it mattered it would have effect THAT election, it didn’t, and it won’t this one.
Benghazi is a can of worms the Establishment Republicans do NOT want to open, because it will appear that the search for truth (and the inevitable indictment of the high-level Democrats involved), will set a precedent for prosecuting members of the opposition party, when they fall from majority to minority position.
Establishment Republicans still awaken with the cold willies in the early hours of the morning, when they think back to the days following Watergate, and the resignation of a sitting President, and the later episode of Clinton being impeached but NOT removed from office.
Democrats have a special set of “rights” not enjoyed by Republicans.
While I am not convinced it’s the “deal” that some do (even the GOP Committee said the WH didn’t do anything wrong), you can thank Daryl Issa for screwing it up big time. And the new committee is just going to look like pre-2016 posturing. The only people that will care will be, well ... us.
Can you summarize it, are there any Repubs involved?
I agree, I think Gowdy is being methodical and building his case. A comment to the article at the original link sums up what is probably happening:

It seems likely the truth about Benghazi is known....that the people who knew have talked to Congress.
But you don’t go after the first black president without getting every single duck lined up. The GOP has been there done that with Bubba and it was a disaster for them and US....while Bill remains a hero to Democrats, State Media and over half of our fellow citizens.
If there is rock solid proof and a dozen impeccably honest and credentialed witnesses ready to testify under oath that Obama gave orders to stand down from a rescue or that he passed the buck to Hillary and she gave the order to let our men die....and that a cover-up was ordered by the White House and joined by the State Dept.....then come January 2015, Trey Gowdy will prosecute the case.
Because people are getting tired of the Democrats and it's almost the Republican's turn to be first in line to raid the treasury. Why should they risk that by taking a stand on anything?
Republicans are the Washington Generals, they are the dupes of the democrat Globetrotters. They stand by feigning defense only to allow the globetrotters to showcase their political jukes, moves and skills. The Reps exist only as the loser opposition so that real opposition will not be faced. They must make a show of resistance, but they are never to win. They are useful idiots, who are personally enriched for their acquiesce. Even when they have office they just surrender a little slower, but always giving up ground, always allowing evil to advance, but always getting richer.
"We know the White House appears to have followed “The Intelligence Oversight Act of 1980” in informing the congressional “Gang of Eight” of Zero Footprint.
The Gang of Eight in 2011 would have included: Speaker – John Boehner, Minority Leader – Nancy Pelosi; House Permanent Select Committee on Intel Chairman – Mike Rogers, and his Democrat counterpart Charles Ruppersberger; Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid; along with Senate Intel Chair Diane Feinstein and her Republican counterpart, Saxby Chambliss."
So Elijah Cummings is Meadowlark Lemon! Damn!!~!
Oh, Thank you... made my morning.
Next Benghazi hearing is Dec 6.. plenty of time for Gowdy to drag these RepubliRATS in for questioning, and there goes our Speaker of the House and Senate Majority Leader a month after that.
No wonder the RINOs have thrown every knife, hatchet, machete they had against us. Losing Cantor must have shocked them to the core. Why couldn’t Beckel have leaked this before the Primaries!?! Because his team needs complicit RepubliRATS to carry out their dirty work.
...In testimony before the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies, then-FBI Director Robert Mueller noted that as many as 15 individuals supporting the investigation or otherwise helpful to the United States have been killed in Benghazi since the attacks
Probably because by the time Republicans get around to investigating Benghazi, ISIS will have overrun The International Zone (Green Zone) in Baghdad.
McCarthy is trying to out think Trey Gowdy.
I don’t believe McCarthy is that smart.
RINOS vs. RATS
It’s all the same team.
And of course politicians are busy running for reelection right now.
Republicans had an opening. They may get another opportunity, but getting the timing right is difficult.
Yahtzee!
Why did Hillary and Obama use American Taxpayer provided funds, equipment, personnel and facilities to overthrow the government of Libya?
These are people who were screeching for years about any American military involvement anywhere. All of a sudden, they’re for using the American military to overthrow the government of Libya? Not hardly. Not unless there was some money involved in it. Where is Qadaffi’s fortune?
Bengazi was the start of ISIS. One of the many reasons Obama and his Republican cohorts have allowed them to rampage across Iraq and Syria is to give plausible deniability when our troops face American weapons. Now the administration can say they are spoils from the Iraqi Army rather than arms provided by the CIA to our enemies in Libya.
Americans have already been killed by these weapons, likely including the SEAL Team 6 members.
Saudi Arabia oil and money are all over the USA and with Saudi shills. Saudis are true disciples of the Koran with the ‘twin towers’ of Mecca and Medina.
