Oops, She Should Have Also Routed Her Calls Through Her Server
After years, Judicial Watch (a great organization by the way) was finally able to access records of then Secretary Clinton during the Benghazi Attack. Last month, their FOIA request secured this record of a phone call by Clinton the day after the attack. “S” is Secretary Clinton. In a call to then-Egyptian Prime Minister Hisham Kandil she said that the deadly terrorist attack on the US compound the day before “had nothing to do with the film.”
On the prior evening (September 11) Mrs. Clinton issued an official State Department press statement, approved by the White House, placing the blame for the attack on an Internet video:
Some have sought to justify this vicious behavior as a response to inflammatory material posted on the Internet. The United States deplores any intentional effort to denigrate the religious beliefs of others. Our commitment to religious tolerance goes back to the very beginning of our nation. But let me be clear: There is never any justification for violent acts of this kind.
The 2012 presidental election was but two months away … Clinton lied. The White House lied.

Who is more likely to topple a government and then leave Americans to die in the failed state that is left behind? Hillary or Trump?
I apologize, I misread your comment. I assumed you were saying that she lied about what the cause of the attack was. I do not think that she got the four people killed in order to win the election. I think she allowed them to be killed out of negligence and a lack of seriousness about the threat faced in Benghazi.
Same thing I was wondering. I watched it, and off the top of my head, it seems the same questioner asked her about an email (I thought, maybe a phone call) to Chelsea and an Egyptian right after admitting it was a terroist attack. Nobody watches those, even the press, because the major reporting was nothing to see.
Yeah, in the story’s retelling the major complaint against Clinton is getting obscured. Set aside (for now) the mess that was her policy toward Libya. Set aside (for now) the asleep-at-the-switch “negligence” (good word choice) which apparently afflicted her, SECDEF, and the CINC. You don’t even need to go there (for now).
What we have is irrefutable contemporaneous documentation that (literally) PROVES the Secretary of State lied to the victims’ families and to the rest of the American family. It proves the Obama Administration lied to us.
This was an orchestrated lie. The conductors were in the White House and the State Dept.
The question is: can the GOP make it matter?
Not if Trump is the nominee.
These politicians play with peoples lives in ways normal people can not imagine. The purpose of Fast & Furious was to flood northern Mexico with traceable US weapons so they could have Mexican deaths that were traceable back to US domestic guns and thus use international pressure to restrict US domestic gun sales. The Mexican lives in service to the “higher goal” of gun control.
The Secretary of State & Obama purposely put diplomates in harm’s way for the “higher goals” of switching sides to the Islamists & then using them as assets to destabilize Assad. Recall that the US hired a local Islamic militia for security for the diplomatic compound (!). This is not mere negligence. Then when the local Libyan approach fell apart, they priortized the impact on the election over the lives of the Americans in Libya.
Keep talking, Bubba. Maybe by November I can be persuaded to cast a ballot for that execrable man. I’m not yet convinced that Trump would do less damage. It would be different damage, so it’s hard to weigh it against the awfulness of that execrable woman.
