The Republican leading the investigation into the Benghazi terror attack said the “failure” didn't lie with Hillary Clinton and that her “legacy” was “mostly intact” for a 2016 presidential run.
The show of support for the former secretary of State by House Oversight Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) is among the surprising revelations in the new book “HRC: State Secrets and the Rebirth of Hillary Clinton,” by The Hill's Amie Parnes and Politico's Jonathan Allen.
Issa made the comments in a December 2012 interview, at a time when Republicans were still focusing their anger on inaccurate administration talking points they claimed were crafted to help President Obama win re-election. “When the call came in at three o'clock in the morning, the failure wasn't viewed, at least as of today, as Secretary Clinton's. It was really an Obama failure,” Issa said. “Her legacy is mostly intact for 2016, if she chooses.”

hey ISSA, how come Hilda wasn’t under oath when she “testified”?...
The establishment protecting each other, regardless of party affiliation. Explains why Issa has been dragging his feet on investigating Benghazi.
Of course it was an Obama failure!
...found a questionable quote before any hearings were even conducted.
Just consider the source!
What Skeletons does Issa have in his closet...?
It all depends on what ISSA, ISSA - - - - .
Sounds vaguely Clintonesque!
What is it about time spent in the District of Corruption?
Maybe it is the water - - - - ?
Check out Issa’s “Background”. REAL “interesting”:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darrell_Issa
Those of us who always claimed Issa was a joke seem to be right. Isn’t it about time for him to fire up another nutless investigation ?
Every Issa investigation has been nothing but smoke and mirrors designed to help cover up this administrations crimes while the people thought he was really investigating. Issa may as well be on obama’s payroll.
Yes, well, that was 2012, wasn't it? The LameStream Media finds a year old quote....and pretends Issa is now a friend of Hitlery.
Have any new revelations come to light in the intervening 15 months that may point to Hitlery?
I think so. Issa is not a fan of the Impeached One's wife.
Has an issa “investigation” ever led to any conviction of anyone ever? What a goober.
He and Boehner act like defense attorneys.
Issa’s claim to fame is that he is the recorded voice of the truck backup device that he invented.
The California Liberal Democrats knew this would be useful to have a reverse-thinking, “Backup! Backup!” RINO in Congress, and voted to put this quisling RINO in their US House of Representatives.
With the exception of a very few hiccups, I’d say the RINO Rep. Issa has made his California Liberal Democrats very, very proud.
BTW, Rep. Issa is heavily favored to win back his well-worn US House seat - - - .
I have begun to wonder how serious this Oversight Committee really is...Panetta is the key to the mess.
He’s the ‘Norm Coleman’ of the House
.. millions spent on investigations
.. name anyone held accountable.
What’s in all those FBI files anyway?
Congress. Ptuh!
Issa was supposed to be involved in accountability.
He abdicated and America’s freedom was lost.
Perhaps forever.
