Among the nearly 900 pages of Hillary Clinton's emails the U.S. State Department released on Friday is one that indicates she may have been confused, exhausted or careless on the September 2012 night when four Americans died in a Benghazi, Libya terror attack.
As U.S. ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens and three other personnel lay dead and America's diplomatic outpost there lay in smoldering ruins, Clinton asked her three closest aides for advice about how to announce the death of 'Chris Smith.'
That name the wrong one was the subject line of the email Clinton sent them as night turned to day in Libya and the full extent of the Islamist terror attack was becoming apparent.
'Cheryl told me the Libyans confirmed his death,' Clinton, then the secretary of state, wrote. 'Should we announce tonight or wait until morning?'

“What difference does it make?”
This made me literally sick to my stomach.
\The only ambassadors SecState really know are those political appointees who are usually major donors.
I’d say “always” instead of “usually.”
She can’t blame the confusion of his last name on her fall. That didn’t happen until mid December 2012.
The ironic thing is Ambassador Stevens’ mom is anti-Trump & pro-Hillary/Obama.
So a kind of do-it-yourself cryptography? You’re a joke, Hillary!
“She’s often confused.” -Huma
Evil, vile b!tch.
This makes me detest her all over, again.
This made me literally sick to my stomach
Same here.
How does this witch expect to be President, if she can’t even remember her Ambassador’s names?
Some politically appointed ambassadors are fellow politicians, not donors.
Evey Ambassador gets his/her picture with the President and the Secretary of State.
BINGO ..!!!
Don’t people remember the questioning of Hillary when she and Bill were in the WH ..??
It was the says language, “I don’t recall; I don’t remember; I never knew that information; etc.”
It was so funny, Rush Limbaugh’s guy who writes all the clever items, wrote a song entitled “I can’t remember; my minds in a blender; it’s jellooooo”.
I’ve even forgotten now exactly what the interview was about (there were so many). But, as soon as I heard today that she was talking the very same way .. I just burst our laughing and I remember the above ditty. I hope Rush plays it when he is back on Tuesday.
Those “fellow politicians” still are donors. Most pols, once they have a ‘safe’ seat, set up funds to support their colleagues. And they bundle, host, and appear at fundraisers for colleagues. They sure are donors!
Perhaps but it goes against convention for proper security )(talking around the topic and other such ways to "fool" others) and should have been sent over the SIPRNET, at the very least, which would mean that the attempt to avoid filters would be to stymie our own folks.
She mixed Chris Stevens with Shawn Smith. A short circuit for sure!
Sorry....make that Chris Stevens with Sean Smith, Diplomat, not the musician Shawn Smith.
