Members of the Senate and House foreign affairs committees grilled Deputy Secretary of State William Burns and Deputy Secretary of State Thomas Nides in Congressional hearings Thursday morning. Each lawmaker had their own individual concerns about the State Department’s inadequate security, failure to heed warnings, slow response time, misrepresentations to the public, and all around “grossly inadequate systematic failures” leading up to, and following the events that occurred in Benghazi, Libya on Sept. 11. Florida’s Senator Marco Rubio was concerned with one revelation in the State Department’s report in particular and he steered his questions accordingly. He said of the Accountability Review Board’s report: “It puts a lot of blame on lower level officials, particularly assistant secretary officials. And why I find that quite puzzling is that Benghazi, and Libya in general, is not some remote outpost. It’s not Luxembourg. I mean this is a country we were involved in militarily not so long ago in a high profile intervention.” Rubio read from the transcript of the report on page 5, “The special mission was not a priority for Washington when it came to security related requests, especially those related to staffing.” “I want to understand who Washington is,” Rubio said.

How about the truth about Obama’s role??
And if you think they made a mess of Libya, you wont believe what they have done in Syria. Obama/Hillary/Huma need to be stopped before they destroy another nation. Or at the very least, we need to fix those systemic failures.
“Obama/Hillary/Huma need to be stopped before they destroy another nation.”
For example, the United States of America.
I don’t really think that this will lead to anything significant. Rep. Issa got the goods on Fast and Furious and had both Holder and Obama’s roles in it. But, both are still in office and not going anywhere.
Rubio can ask all the questions he likes. We know how this will end - at some point zero will claim executive privilege and seal the records and the complicit DBM will bury the story on page 212 of a 75 page newspaper! Then, they will start discrediting Rubio and the GOP for leading a witch hunt against Hillary instead of taking care of zero’s fiscal cliff and caving 100% to his will (whih they will, eventually do).
Patience, young padawan. One eats an elephant one bite at a time.
Rubio is incredibly cool and logical. He was an attorney before he went into politics (but then, so was Hillary, so that doesn’t mean much!). But Rubio was probably a smart, ethical attorney, unlike Hillary...
The democrats will remember this. They will get the fangs out for him if he ever decides to run for president.
I won $50 yesterday on a radio show contest. It’s called GUESS THIS SOUND? They play an audio recording and then you guess what it is. The first caller guessed “a sonic boom”. Nope. The second called guessed, “A bunker buster bomb going off”? Wrong again. I knew immediately what it was. I was the third caller. “It’s Hillary Clinton falling on her donkey”. The DJ couldn’t believe that I got it and wanted to know if there were any clues that helped me. I said, “Yes, the sound of whiskey and ice cubes sloshing across the floor was a dead giveaway.”
Frankly, Obama would know nothing of this case, but for what Jarrett wants him to know. I can practically give the kid Marxist a pass on Benghazi. He gave that job to know everything to Hillary, with free reign and independence. (Bill Clinton negotiated that deal to guarantee Hillary stardom).
But, Hillary is a different matter. She was into being the smartest person in the room and proving it. This was her man, in her State Department, whose staff LIVE filmed, in real time, the attack on Chis and SEAL defenders, whose cries for increased security herselfness had rejected,
and whose staff sat there and watched the attack from start to finish.
Hillary OWNS the whole enchilada, and would prosecute without mercy, had this fiasco been under a Republican Secretary of State.
I can hear her vicious mouth now. Top to bottom she owns this, and should have resigned.
Knowing that she is royalty with a permanent political pass, untouchable, she simply chose to use the words, I-take-responsibility, and then didn’t. Instead she lied and continued to lie from the beginning.
More importantly, he’s a Florida Gator. :)
Oxymoron! Pile enough money in front of any attorney and you've bought yourself a "schyster". That's not a bad thing either, it's the only to win when the legal system is as crooked as it is now.

You mean like the dead guy in Rockcreek Park?
Well, that counts for something!!!
They won’t do it. It would “look” cruel to force a woman out of a job while she’s battling a concussion/stomach virus.
Remember Hillary’s Senate debates with Rick Lazio?
He “wasn’t allowed” to criticize her on anything just because she’s a woman.
Besides all that.. she’s already quitting. So the GOP will say.. no reason to force her out she’s leaving already. They don’t have the political will to do anything else unfortunately.
That was the first one they destroyed. The US debt load can never be paid, while maintaining an intact country. It is a physical impossibility. You all should be prepping for that collapse.
Repubs had all the political will in the world to take out the Clintons in the 90's.
They pressed her on the Rose Law Firm and got her to appear before a grand jury, they managed to stop her in her tracks on Hillarycare, they chased her on the travel office firings, Vince Foster, and even voted to impeach her husband.
It's not only will that will destroy these people. It's also smarts and plenty of patience.
She's at her old 90's tricks once again. Let's see if current-day Republicans (Rubio being one) have what it takes to get this Witch off the national scene once and for all.
There are just too many unanswered questions. We all know what the questions are, and that they are stonewalling, right?
