The House Clinton Benghazi hearings were initiated May 8 2014 (following previous House and Senate Committee hearings the previous year), with the final Committee Report published December 7 2016 (two and a half years)
The Whitewater Special Counsel was appointed January 20 1994, and the report was issued (the Starr Report) September 1998 (four and three quarters year later).
Just over one year is not very long in comparison to previous investigations.

Agreed. I think Trump has fooled many into thinking it's gone on for so long because he's always mentioning it.
If he let the investigation go on without constant sniping, we'd all have forgotten about it by now, bar the odd house arrest.
