Right wingers have been screeching about Benghazi for nearly two and a half years now. What exactly are we supposed to be outraged about? What, exactly, was covered up? What, exactly, is the scandal?
That dog don't hunt, as they say but conservatives refuse to give it up. The public quickly tired of Benghazi investigations because the Republican Industrial Scandal machine beat it to death. Over and over and over and over and

Crickets.

You never know...maybe she is just that stupid.

Therefore I do not care how much they spend, or what they say. The company was created in the 1990s with the sole purpose of smearing Bill Clinton, so it is not surprising they'd do the same to Hillary, especially if they fear she might run in 2016.

Carry on corporal.
It's not possible to smear people who are clean to begin with. Any democrat who plans to run, especially the Clintons, better keep their skeletons in their closet, and put a lock on the door.

Oops, too late. So many of them out already.

From Hillary's public comments on 9/12/2102.

"Yesterday, our U.S. diplomatic post in Benghazi, Libya was attacked. Heavily armed militants assaulted the compound and set fire to our buildings. American and Libyan security personnel battled the attackers together. Four Americans were killed."
...
"This was an attack by a small and savage group -- not the people or Government of Libya."
...
"We are working to determine the precise motivations and methods of those who carried out this assault. Some have sought to justify this vicious behavior, along with the protest that took place at our Embassy in Cairo yesterday, as a response to inflammatory material posted on the internet."


Did you notice that Judicial Watch chose to clip the statement about the inflammatory material? Are you aware that the attack in Cairo was instigated by "inflammatory materiel posted on the internet."

There were mixed reports coming from Libya over the nature and reasons for the attack. Clinton did not down play the nature of the attack in her initial statement about the attack.
From pknopp 9/15/2012

No one will care, anymore than they did with her husband. The majority of Americans don't give a fig about stuff like this. It's great fodder for the base of each party though, who think the voting public feels the same as they do. Most people don't know even know where Benghazi or know how to spell it, let alone care about some event that happened over two years ago.

Hillary is being torpedoed by the DNC just as she was the last time. They are so over her. She is simply not progressive enough to suit their agenda.

So the CIA said it was in response to "Hateful and offensive video"? Only the current administration uses that kind of language. The producer was just a Patsy for the current administration failures to identify the enemy. Just like today where they refuse to call isis and similar goups radical islam or worse calling the coptic Christians "Those unidentified folks who got their heads chopped off".

From the CIA.

"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."

The Cairo protest was connected to the video.

And yet, I did. I only posted it on that day. I certainly can't prove it on here, but when the first reports of a movie came out I said "On 9-11?, this wasn't about a movie".

No one actually thought it was about a youtube movie. The most incredible part is that someone would actually come up with that for an excuse and expect people to believe it. That's how little they think of you.

They knew that people like yourself would defend any lie though so it really didn't matter.
