That’s it! Thanks!
That point about the funding may have come up more than once, in the hearings, but that IS the exchange I best remember.
The request for increased security was turned down because Hillary’s State Dept. insisted on an appearance of “normalcy” even when Libya was disintegrating into violence.
Ok, Apple Pan Dowdy, whack ‘em!
BTW, Apple, Charlene Lamb was a Deputy Assistant Secretary Of State at the time & the person most directly responsible for the “no” when increased security was requested.
She was later “moved” in a sort of sideways and upward fashion to help get her out of the public eye. (More evidence of the Washington “swamp” of corruption.)
"So all told, we have a $47 billion operational account and an $8.7 billion Overseas Contingency Operations account."
Then the coup de grace is pointing out that a Marine guard and a special Green Beret security force for embassies is always available and funded by the DoD.
