If one just stands back and looks at the whole thing from beginning to end....you are left with only two explanations.
One, that she and the people around her are absolute naive and childish wannabe-executives...who couldn’t even run a PTA association affair in selling cookies without screwing up.
Two, that they planned to dispense the classified data out to paid Foundation members from day one. It may even be that she was stupid enough to fall for some story from Sid, and Sid himself was the one who wanted to sell the insider information (like Kissinger did in the 1980s).
In either case, why would you vote for someone that immature?
As for the connection back to Benghazi...I’m more likely to believe that she just wasn’t told by Sid that security was important and that after the murders occurred....all Sid could do was tell her to shut up and insist it was some stupid ‘other’ reason for the episode to occur. I think without Sid....she could not perform or function. Sid was there to read the script and tell her what to say.
This whole relationship with Sid need more investigation. Who was leading whom? They both had their agendas. Sid sounds like the ultimate two-faced crook with multiple agendas. Is he being investigated for charges? How many laws did he violate? What were his 'side deals' in Libya? and elsewhere? Such a complex web.
