Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA) said that Republicans in Congress should look into a mirror when asking why the attack on an American consulate in Benghazi was as deadly as it was. She said that House Republicans who voted to cut security funding for overseas embassies are directly responsible for the lack of security personnel at that outpost. Boxer's claim is contradicted by testimony delivered before a Congressional Oversight Committee hearing last week.
Boxer exonerated former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Tuesday for any responsibility relating to the Benghazi attack, saying that it she testified before Congress in good faith and took full responsibility for what occurred under her watch.

Anytime! :)
Thanks for the clarification and link! We need to never forget the depths of corruption liberals are willing to stoop to.
Cheers!

After all these years on FR it’s still not easy to plumb the depths of liberal corruption. It’s mind boggling! It’s a bottomless well that they just keep hurtling further downward in.
LOL
You’d start a Spartacus Stadium Wave effect if you did.
I just got back from seeing this movie and the first thing I thought as I left the theatre was why is Obama still free to be POTUS and why is Hillary free to run for POTUS? They both belong in prison.
Yeah I caught that too... Must be interesting, operating without any conscience whatsoever...
Excellent research, thanks.
This article is from May, 2013.
Boxer’s premise was proven wrong in multiple hearings in 2012 and 2013.
Hillary Clinton had plenty of funds at her disposal in the State Dept. budget to beef up security.
This was just circle the wagons time for the Dems.
The real reason for Benghazi? See my tagline—Eric Nordstrom’s testimony from 10/10/12.
Yep, Babs ain’t too bright. Coupled with that, she is extreme left wing moonbat.....a laughingstock for California and the nation.....
Wish people would remember she left Brooklyn NY and infected California.

Lt. Colonel Andrew Wood was the DoD head of security for Ambassador Stevens and his staff. He says the State Department systematically REMOVED security around Ambassador Stevens despite repeated requests for more.

Nordstrom further testified in writing that Hillary Clinton waived security requirements for the Benghazi consulate despite high and critical threat levels in the six categories of security standards established under the Overseas Security Policy Board and the Secure Embassy Construction and Counterterrorism Act of 1999.
The waiver can only be authorized by the Secretary of State, who cannot delegate that responsibility to someone else. "If the Secretary of State did not waive these requirements, who did so by ordering occupancy of the facilities in Benghazi and Tripoli?" Nordstrom wrote.
Steven’s wasn’t at an Embassy. Cutting Embassy funding?!
Steven’s went to a “safe house” that was 1 mile from a CIA station in the middle of a war zone, deep in injun country, at Midnight, on 9/11.
None of the above has *anything* to do with reduced (ha!) Embassy funding.
...sure would be nice to know why an Ambassador went into a Libyan war zone to meet a Turkish emissary, though (and I don’t mean that I want to hear theories from out of the loop civilians...I mean that I want the Administration to explain).

It was once beautiful.
Benghazi ping.
Let Republicanprofessor know if you want on or off this ping list.
This professional SLUT making herself rich from your valet, stealing, forgetting that the first fat “lady” from State testified, on the first hearing, that there was NO lack of funding. Confirmed by other State’s people.
Same as saying that the Navy were also “castrated” due to lack of funding not intervening from helping the captured boats by IRAN, BS !!!

What a load of crap.
Barbara Boxer’s Sr. foreign policy & defense advisor was Ann Norris.
Ann Norris is the wife of Obama’s pet fiction writer, Ben Rhodes, or his media brother, I forget which....
