Once it was evident they had nothing they figured it was better to get it out now and hope that by November, the electorate forgets all about how much of their money the nine Republican-led pretend Benghazi committees squandered on a failed political witch hunt.

out of all that?

Setting the bar rather low, aren't you?
Her response wasn't deranged.

Likely exposure? The problem with your argument is that the government servers have been hacked. We know they've been hacked. Whereas, we know that her server was attacked, but so far no one has shown that her server was compromised.

She has said that she made a mistake in how she set up her State Department e-mails.

The FBI investigation might reveal that she acted illegally, or it might reveal that she did not.

In the meantime, Secretary Clinton does have the smarts, stamina and backbone to be an effective President.

Politics was placed above the lives of Americans, for pure political gain.
Anyone defending that, should be ashamed and not even considered an American any longer. They should be executed, immediately.

Nothing can justify, the actions of the leadership of this nation.

Sigh. Gaddafi was overthrown, the National Transit Council held control of Libya until elections were held in 2012 and the National Congress took over the reins of government. Libya actually still looked as if she had a chance in 2012.

Who were we going to ask?
The representatives of the National Congress with whom we had established diplomatic connections. Sheesh, is this hard?

You are literally years off the timeline - at least as events happened in reality, can't speak to the version of events peddled in GOPistan.

You seem to have completely disregarded that part of my post. I wonder why.
Yes! They lied to the American public about it. Fact. They sat in a two-hour meeting to see how to help our people without hurting the Libyan's feelings (should they go in with uniforms or without). They never sent anyone to help them in fact. The people that did go help them either chartered a plane or went in without waiting for permission. We had two unarmed drones there to record events of seven hours of fighting, but never armed them or sent help. No help, and after the fact they said they couldn't have gotten to them on time. How did they know that during the fight? They didn't. The Gaddafi militia helped our people more than our own military.

The small gov't party spent million$$$ on 9 investigations and came up with squat. No wonder they are called the "do nothing party."

  • Also it wasn't an embassy.
Lame excuse making.

Impressive, I thought Gaddafi was busy being dead at the time.
