Four State Department officials suspended over the Benghazi, Libya, terrorist outrage have been reinstated to their jobs just three weeks before the first anniversary of the attack.

The move comes as pressure mounts on House Speaker John Boehner to appoint a special committee to investigate the attack that killed Christopher Stevens, the U.S. ambassador to Libya, and three other Americans.

Secretary of State John Kerry decided the four, who were placed on administrative leave following last September's massacre should return to work without any disciplinary action, The Daily Beast reported. His action effectively reverses the decision of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to suspend them.

Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., slammed the move and called the State Department's decision not to pursue disciplinary action "a game of musical chairs."

"Instead of accountability, the State Department offered a charade that included false reports of firings and resignations and now ends in a game of musical chairs where no one misses a single day on the State Department payroll," said Issa, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. "It is now clear that the personnel actions taken by the [State] Department in response to the Benghazi terrorist attacks was more of a public relations strategy than a measured response to a failure in leadership.
