Hillary Clinton to blame for Benghazi? A group of Republicans certainly thinks so.
Issa recently pointed to an April 19, 2012, cable acknowledging a request from the embassy in Libya for more security but insisting that a preplanned drawdown would continue. Issa said it proved Clinton denied security because her signature appears on the cable. (Clinton had told Congress that the security issues did not come to her attention).
The secretary of state was just wrong. She said she did not participate in this, and yet only a few months before the attack, she outright denied security in her signature in a cable, Issa, who chairs the House Oersight Committee, told Fox News.
Theres just one problem. The secretary of states signature appears on every cable that goes out. In fact, according to the State Department manual, it explicitly says the communications center will place the name of the secretary on all telegrams to post. Even the tiniest of items (a listing of new office phone numbers in the Brazzaville Embassy in the Republic of the Congo or one about email etiquette, for example) were all signed by Clinton during her tenure.
So why is Issa taking his aim at Clinton now?
Republicans are throwing everything they can at Hillary Clinton because theyre scared of 2016″ when she could run for president, Salon.coms Joan Walsh told Hardballs Chris Matthews on Monday. Its like they have Benghazi fever and have no working knowledge of how the State Department actually operates.

Barbara Bush said it best: "No more bushes."
If Hillary is guilty then so is BO. The buck stops at the top and they had to be together on this. Hill won’t let herself go down without taking him too. Finally, something that will trap both of those radicals in the net.
If the message carries her signature, she owns the message! Tango Sierra!
Just as with any and all guaranteed incriminating documentation regarding Barry and Hilarious, the original order to shrink security at the Benghazi consulate is being withheld by Kerry’s State Dept. thus preventing Issa’s team from determining whether the order was robo-signed in her name, signed by an underling or signed by Hilarious herself.
If Hildebeast is a candidate in ‘16 the illegal voting machine will be well oiled, ready to record and multiply the votes of both citizens and resident aliens.
Benghazi ping...
Chrissie on MSNBC tries the “It’s all political because GOP afraid of Hilarious” gambit.
Hillary’s dishonesty and unscrupulousness is part of her charm for Democrats. She lost in 2008 because the Obama team was even more unscrupulous, plus “first black President” trumped “first woman President.” Plus Obama was patently even less qualified for the job than she was.
Try as they like, the Dems are not going to be able to accomplish a Hillary cram down in 2016.
Hillary in 2016??
As my friend, The Rabbi, would say, “She should live so long!”
Does it matter who runs?
The USA is now the USSA and it will get even worse.
The people seem to dig it, considering their reelecting
the radical Marxist illegal alien.
Anyone wanting on or off this ping list, please advise.
.... It was just a proxy signature done by an assistant or some other fall guy/person. Easy for a spin machine of the caliber that a person approaching absolute power (ie ... The Prez) could pull off. The lap dog media will back them up on this. The future of the Socialist States of Amerika are at stake ... so they will stop at NOTHING to protect their dream.
No matter who is our nominee , those here that hated Mitt , McCain e and W, will hate him.
Get used to saying President Clinton again.
Like Hillary herself, Hillary’s signature isn’t worth squat.
I just don’t see Democrats caring about Benghazi when voting for her. The only way we can beat Hillary is picking a candidate like Santorum or Bachmann. We must go conservative this round if we are to win.
Why are they threatening witnesses if they have nothing to hide,fact is Republicans are not afraid of lying fat ass traitors,problem is that is and who are running the entire country right now
Why not?
What have the Pubbies got to run against her?
What difference does it make? The idiot left will vote criminals into office in a NY minute. Think Marion Barry and Victor Hill(Sherriff in GA)
