“His tone differed from his prepared remarks, which appeared more measured, and which he said were written with the help of guidelines from the State Department.”
Yes thats whats so scary these are the guidelines of our State Dept for Embassy Security and they are sadly lacking. I’m being kind. Its basically gross incompetence that takes the breath away.
Also, I take that to mean that the State Dept wrote his prepared remarks.
After he said “the Talban is inside the building,” his State Dept career was over.
The ARB refused info he wanted give them. Good to hear ARB is now being investigated.
BTW: Hicks and Thompson have never testified publicly before.
