WASHINGTON As Hillary Rodham Clinton begins her presidential campaign, Republicans are vowing to intensify their latest investigation into the former secretary of states response to the deadly 2012 attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya.

We have a mission, and its deadly serious, said Rep. Mike Pompeo, a Kansas Republican and member of the House Select Committee on Benghazi.

Republicans have been trying for more than two years to prove that Clinton failed to bolster security before the assault and should share blame for the Obama administrations initial, erroneous account of what happened.

A committee report last year found little evidence that Clinton did anything wrong, and it seemed as though she had escaped serious damage from the incident welcome news to the Democrat before starting her anticipated presidential run, which was announced formally on Sunday.

The questions about Clintons actions got fresh fuel recently as it was revealed she used a private email server for every email she sent as Secretary of State giving Republicans a new avenue to question her handling of the job, and adding an element of lack of transparency to the accusations surrounding her.

Many questions remain unanswered and I applaud the Select Committees continued diligent efforts to find the truth, House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy of California said in a memo April 9 to fellow House Republicans.

Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans were killed in the Sept. 11, 2012, attack on the U.S. compound in Libya. The Obama administration initially said the attack grew out of a spontaneous protest over an anti-Islamic video, an assessment that turned out to be incorrect.

Clinton has said she turned over all her government-related emails some 30,490 messages to the State Department, which is reviewing them for public release. Another 31,830 personal messages were deleted.

That led to cries of outrage from Republicans and others. Select Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy, a South Carolina Republican, has asked Clinton to appear privately before the panel by May 1 for an interview about her emails.

The committee wants to understand what the secretary did, when she did it, and why she did it, Gowdy said in a March 31 letter to Clintons lawyer.
