I don't think she ever talked much about the Egypt riots.
That was her basis for concluding that Benghazi was a copy cat act of Egypt.
Ambassador Susan Rice: Libya Attack Not Premeditated - ABC News
“In Cairo, as you know, a few hours earlier, there was a violent protest that was undertaken in reaction to this very offensive video that was disseminated,” Rice said, referring to protests in Egypt Tuesday over a film that depicts the Prophet Muhammad as a fraud. Protesters in Cairo breached the walls of the U.S. Embassy, tearing apart an American flag.
“We believe that folks in Benghazi, a small number of people came to the embassy to – or to the consulate, rather, to replicate the sort of challenge that was posed in Cairo,” Rice said. “And then as that unfolded, it seems to have been hijacked, let us say, by some individual clusters of extremists who came with heavier weapons… And it then evolved from there.”

It was Susan Rice's basis because that is what the CIA was telling people.
From the CIA talking points.
"We believe based on currently available information that the attacks in Benghazi were spontaneously inspired by the protest at the U.S. Embassy in Cairo and evolved into a direct assault against the U.S. Consulate and subsequently its annex."

What's more important is that Hillary was NOT the one that went on TV that Sunday.
She was "too tired". IMHO Susan Rice was sent and would take any fallout (which she did later on).
Hillary distanced herself from Benghazi as much as she could with all those ailments and illnesses.
IMHO Benghazi was a CIA plan gone bad. They should have just admitted as much and moved on.
