What part of Obama and Hillary's work in Benghazi wasn't a cluster F in your opinion?

Newly released email from Hillary's motherload of classified communications are showing generals were begging her to let them go save those people. That part which was even worse to now know is not in the movie.

If God forbid Hillary is President you can just say "Hey killer" instead of playing hail to the President's vagina.

I'm not making excuses, only comparing the Congressional response to both disasters, and the contrasting scrutiny both have received. One is a cover up, while the other is a political witch hunt. Maybe you or someone else can explain why something far more deadly than Benghazi has not received anywhere close to as much attention as it should have, or why Benghazi has gotten so much attention?

This isn't news.

Well, maybe it is news to those who refused/neglected to read the report that was released several years ago, but, not news to me.

"Instead, the site security team was ordered to remain in Tripoli to defend the embassy and its staff in case terrorists also struck in the capital while the Benghazi post was under attack, and to assist the wounded who were being evacuated to Tripoli after the first phase of the fighting had ended, the statement said.

Col. Gibson “acknowledged that, had he deployed to Benghazi, he would have left Americans in Tripoli undefended. He also stated that, in hindsight, he would not have been able to get to Benghazi in time to make a difference, and as it turned out, his medic was needed to provide urgent assistance to survivors once they arrived in Tripoli,†the statement said."

What critical documents were missing from the Oct 22, 2015 Benghazi hearing.

Great questions. And the answer is, the Democrats don't conduct witch hunts, whereas that is the right's stock-in-trade. But you are right, the Iraq fiasco didn't undergo even a fraction of the amount of scrutiny that Benghazi has, and continues to receive, and no one on the right is complaining about that very blatant discrepancy. Because the pretend hearings are not about Benghazi. They are purely political.

At least you got the part right where you describe Hillary as a witch.

But fiction has been the basis for all the hearings so enjoy the movie, should be more entertaining than all the congressional hearings. Does Gowdy have a part, maybe a cameo appearance.
The troublesome reality is the Justice Department under Obama has been politicized, so when he is caught spying on Congress and the Press no Special prosecutor is sent out to independently investigate to dispense justice.
Same for the government hacks who ignore Congress or the Senate and are not made to comply or go to jail.

Obama has long ago done enough illegal stuff to earn impeachment and removal, especially regarding the spying of the press.

Hillary has exposed us all to so much more than General Petraeus did and he was removed, $200,000.00 fine and his life ruined. HILLARY did that times 1000. I find it disturbing and crooked that these Democrats are not being held accountable as any of the rest of us would be as American Citizens.
For that reason I can't see the humor in this.
