Benghazi Index

WASHINGTON — Former secretary of state Hillary Clinton was never questioned by investigators looking into the attack on the US mission in Libya that claimed the life of the US ambassador, a head of the internal probe said Sunday.
Ambassador Thomas Pickering said he and retired admiral Mike Mullen interviewed Clinton near the end of their investigation into the September 11 attack in Benghazi but saw no need to question her about her role.
He said they knew and understood what she had done "because we had questioned people who had attended meetings with her what went on at those meetings and how they were handled, what was relevant.
"I don't believe that it was necessary to do that. I don't think that there was anything there that we didn't know," Pickering said on CBS' "Face the Nation" talk show.
Pickering's defense of the probe came amid accusations by Republicans that the investigation by the "accountability review board" he and Mullen headed had left higher-ups off the hook, holding only lower level officials accountable for the security failings.
Eric Nordstrom, the regional security officer at the US embassy in Tripoli in the months before the Benghazi attack, testified at a Congressional hearing this week that senior State Department officials were aware of security shortcomings.

The list, Ping

State investigates State, and doesn’t interview The Boss.
Very instructive: “If you’re really IMPORTANT, then the standards all others are held to don’t apply”.
Wasn’t there once a little thing called, Magna Carta, and stuff?
9-11-12 Benghazi Massacre Coverup File: “Leave all men behind.”
Another teflon coated Clinton. Dirtbag.
Blow-by-Blow: How Obama & Hillary Left Americans to Die"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."
Why?
And something else I heard just the other day and hadn't realized - even when Hillary did testify before the House, she was not under oath - no matter how much it can be shown she lied, she apparently won't have broken the law as far as perjury is concerned - as I said, it's pathetic.....
Not under oath.
I have read that as well.
The truth is, all of the cowards in the government are scared to death of Slick Willie’s wife and Barry Benghazi. Hillary’s got her testicle lockbox back in action.
Pinch me, I think I fell into the rabbit hole and can't get up.

Would not be surprised if Obama/Clinton has something on Pickering and Mullen. Good way to control an “independent” investigation if its leaders are compromised. From the way this one was conducted, something is fishy. Do Democrat is coming out to use its “findings” as a shield to protect Obama or Clinton. Also would love to know what is happening between the Obama and Clinton camps. Bill has been invisible.
Why is Issa saying Hillary isn’t a target of the Benghazi probe?
For legal and practical reasons.....Issa has to say that so the Dems can’t outright say that this is a witch hunt against Hillary even thought they are politically saying it is one against her. Hillary and Obama are clearly targets into the investigation
Peter King essentially answered the same earlier today on FOX. He said something about building blocks from the bottom up, IIRC.
