There is news coming out they are planning to cut embassy security. It is a weird bill saying security for all embassies should be cut until an embassy in Jerusalem has been opened.

This is not from Trump, but from Senate Republicans.

Sounds reckless. These are the same people who have been "outraged" about Benghazi for four years.

(e) Restriction On Funding Subject To Opening Determination.—Not more than 50 percent of the amounts appropriated to the Department of State for fiscal year 2017 under the heading “Embassy Security, Construction, and Maintenance” may be obligated until the Secretary of State determines and reports to Congress that the United States Embassy in Jerusalem has officially opened.

Those of us who think the whole congressional Benghazi circus was anything other than a Clinton witch hunt were obviously right.

Sure seems that way. You think they will hold 17 'investigations' if something happens after they cut security.

This looks like something straight out of the dominionist playbook. A particular odious branch of Christianity.

That absolutely was all it was, and we know it. The right didn't give a hoot about those who died, they simply saw it as one more way to criticize Hillary. That embassy was in a Hell hole, and the diplomats knew the risks.
