A standard defense for Hillary Rodham Clinton when facing questions about Benghazi, Libya, has been to cite her commissioning of a report from the State Departments Accountability Review Board (ARB), which took a deep look at the attacks that claimed the lives of four U.S. personnel on Sept. 11, 2012. In testimony before Congress in January 2013, Clinton said: I hurried to appoint the Accountability Review Board led by Ambassador Pickering and Admiral Mullen so we could more fully understand from objective, independent examination, what went wrong and how to fix it. I have accepted every one of their recommendations.
In an interview with Clinton that aired last night on ABC News, anchor Diane Sawyer threw the ARB right back in the face of the former secretary of state. The two tangled over the preparedness of the U.S. diplomatic installation in Benghazi for a terrorist attack. In defending her work on this front, Clinton stressed that she had delegated the particulars of security to the experts in the field. Im not equipped to sit and look at blueprints to determine where the blast walls need to be, where the reinforcements need to be. Thats why we hire people who have that expertise, said Clinton, who did the interview as part of the tour for her book Hard Choices.
Sensing an opening, Sawyer cited the document that Clinton herself has so often cited: This is the ARB: the mission was far short of standards; weak perimeter; incomplete fence; video surveillance needed repair. They said its a systemic failure.
Clinton replied, Well, it was with respect to that compound. The anchor continued pressing, asking Clinton whether the people might be seeking from her a sentence that begins from you I should have
? Clinton sort of ducked that one.

"This is old news. I answered these questions when Diane Sawyer asked me them."
Would not read that trash. I might wipe my butt with the pages if somebody paid me! LIES bound to abound in the piece written by a woman who lies even when the truth would be to her advantage.
Granny Warren isn't exactly a spring Tatanka herself!
Shocked, shocked I say!
Either Sawyer got a conscience recently or the stench of Hillary’s lies has even reached into the heartland of liberalism. Guess there isn’t enough air refreshener to keep the smell out.
A rotten canker is a stinky canker.
“Thats why we hire people who have that expertise,
We have little people for that kind of trivial nonsense.
People for security issues and people to clean the poop off my toilet seat.
lol...Rest your case right now!...if u bring up how ugly she looks now...you'll just lose a few points
Diane and Hillary were on opposite sides of Watergate.
