Hillary Clinton never personally denied any requests from diplomats for additional security at the U.S. outpost in Benghazi, Libya, according to Democrats on a select House panel who absolved the former secretary of state and the U.S. military of wrongdoing in the deadly Sept. 11, 2012 attacks.
In a report Monday pre-empting the Republicans, the panel’s five Democrats said after a two-year investigation that the military could not have done anything differently that night to save the lives of four Americans killed in Libya. U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens died in one of the two assaults at the diplomatic facility and CIA annex.
Democrats’ release of their own report heightened the partisanship of the inquiry, which has been marked by finger-pointing on both sides. Republicans accuse the Obama administration of stonewalling important documents and witnesses, while Democrats say the panel’s primary goal is to undermine Clinton’s presidential bid. …

I don’t really much care ... if the buck doesn’t stop at the head, the agency is a fraud with no accountability
Historical fact: There is not one signed order from Hitler ordering the killing of Jews.
To whom did Chris Stevens report directly to?
Guess that's Hillary”s final answer, adopted for now on...
Yeah - and Nixon didn’t PERSONALLY break into the rat headquarters, either - but he was responsible and eventually was forced to take responsibility. We don’t need Obola 2.0.
There is no “stupid party” to be “outmaneuvered” by the almighty Democrats. There is only the Uniparty, performing Kabuki theater for the sake of their shared liberal agenda.
Perfect rhetorical mirror of the old, “No STAND-DOWN order was ever given...!”
Yeah, okay so you just *forbade* all your heavies kitted out from getting on any plane and going anywhere.
Depends on what the meaning of “is” is, etc.
They have been at this for DECADES.
They’re doing it here, too, no big surprise.
” the panel’s five Democrats said “
LMAO
I think you mean the Med, on Sicily, at NAS Sigonella —Marines, there.
There were also tons of guys at Rota, Spain.
Also it would have taken an F-18 from Sigonella about 20 minutes to go and do a fast pass.
She was asleep so she couldn’t give our men any aid. And who would want to awaken a sleeping Hillary in the middle of the night (at risk of limb or life).
Later, when asked if she would have sent Spectres to Libya, she reportedly said, “Spectres? It’s not Halloween yet!”
I wouldn’t trust any of the Dems who wrote this report. Leftists, Mexicanists, weirdos and psychos. Did I leave out insane liars? Hope not!
The Dems are squirming; that suggests something is there, yet to be found!
That sounds strikingly as if the Clintons wrote it.
To choose to not to decide is to decide.
Kind of like, it depends on what the meaning of is is.
Well, DOH!!
The Ugly, Fat, Unindicted Criminal old Cow wasn't the least interested in the entire event.
She couldn't personally get involved or risk her criminal "deniability."
The Clintons have been masters of parsing words for what? 22 years?
She managed the dept that denied security.
She stole the consulates security fund.
6 Billion vanished during Hillary’s management.
Not sure of the number but I too watched the hearings and I recall that our Ambassador requested additional security over and over....and was ignored and/or denied.
That is what they are saying in this report, correct? That dimwit hillary hadn’t denied the consulate security??? Jeez, someone pull up the video of the testimony!
Yes. True.
But there was a story about Marines going to/being sent to the Caribbean, so they ‘couldn’t help’
This was reported as a ‘too bad, so sad’ report’
But yes, the jets and helos sat on tarmacs. And on a carrier deck.
