They are only investigating half of the lie.
Lie #1) Scrubbing mention of Islamists and Al Qeaeda
Lie #2) Blame it on an obscure video

Who decided to blame it on a video?
Who convinced the POTUS, the SoS and their staff that they were going to go with the vieo lie?
Who decided to spend money on advertising in Pakistan to promote the lie?
Who helped the POTUS carefully parse his words in his speech to the UN?
Who made the call to local law enforcement to roust the video maker out of bed at 2am?

There is something major to add to that.

They did not defend our 1st amendment rights but blamed those rights instead.

In blaming it on a “video” they were pushing talk about limiting the 1st amendment. And that our freedoms went too far and needed to be restricted. They also tried to make the case to prosecute the video maker. There were numerous editorials and politicians pushing for restrictions on free speech.

It was a lie with serious consequences for all of us. Not just some talk. And it is from the man who swore and oath to defend those constitutional rights above all other things.
