Clinton has put her own reputation on the line with her repeated assurances that the Benghazi attackers would be brought to justice. And she’s tied at the hip with Obama on the issue, having pushed for the NATO intervention that ousted Moamar Gadhafi and embraced the kind of expeditionary diplomacy that brought U.S. diplomats to far-flung places like Benghazi with minimal security.

“A free and stable Libya is still in America’s interest and security, and we will not turn our back on that, nor will we rest until those responsible for these attacks are found and brought to justice,” Clinton said in a speech at the State Department the day after the attack. “We are working closely with the Libyan authorities to move swiftly and surely.”

The investigation has been moving forward since then, according to numerous reports.

The federal government filed criminal charges against Benghazi militia leader Ahmed Abu Khattala and several others last year in New York, CNN reported in August. Libyan Prime Minister Ali Zeidan has OK’d U.S. operations to nab Khattala as well as 1998 African embassy bombing suspect Anas al-Libi, who was captured by U.S. special forces in Tripoli on Oct. 5, according to The Washington Post.
