"I'm going to frustrate all of you, infinitely, by telling you that now that we have an open FBI investigation on the death of these four Americans, we are not going to be in a position to talk at all about what the U.S. government may or may not be learning about how any of this this happened -- not who they were, not how it happened, not what happened to Ambassador Stevens, not any of it -- until the Justice Department is ready to talk about the investigation that's its got," State Department spokeswoman Victorian Nuland told reporters late Friday afternoon. "So I'm going to send to the FBI for those kinds of questions and they're probably not going to talk to you about it," she said.

How convenient. Much like local governments hide behind “It’s a personnel matter” when cops or whoever screw up, the Feds start a Justice investigation and embargo any information about the event for months or more.
Or at least until after the election.
Investigation? PLEASE!
Any investigation done under this corrupt administration would be a joke. Clinton, obama and Hoder would see to that. We will have to wait until these scumbags are gone to find out what they don’t want us to know.
Interesting way to try and put lid on discussion of the SD’s lapses. Why don’t they just come out and say...This doesn’t make us look good so we will not discuss it?
Don't bet on it. Not the first time the Beast has hidden behind the curtain of "active investigation" and gotten away with it.
Let me clarify:
The left believes a terrorist attack is a criminal matter.
The right believes a terrorist attack is a terrorist attack.
"But I have to respect the fact that this is now a crime scene."
NOTE it is a crime, not an act of war. How does she know this?
A page out of the Clinton playbook.
STFU!
So they are fraudently calling this a “criminal investigation” soley so they can refuse to talk about it or answer questions about it - just sweeping it under the rug. This is an evil administration. An islamic administration.
Yes. Some will be ticked off. Romney/Ryan needs to attack this.
All this attention to the Embassy attacks and dead Americans is needlessly distracting the media from their Romney bashing.
Sounds like the Administration is turning this over to the criminal justice system.
This is crazy!
Hey we have golf to play; just like our leader. Don’t bother us.
Mom, I’m not going to tell you who knocked over the vase and broke it. I know you are frustrated by this. But I am going to conduct a thorough investigation. Right now, I’m not in a position to talk to you about what happened. I’m going to refer you to my little brother, but he probably won’t tell you anything either.
FBI investigation????? On the mess ups and procedures in place in the State Department or on some guys free speech???
I guess the FBI and not the CIA being involved answers that question....unbelievable. So what does railroading some guy over free speech have to do with the State Department answering questions on your department and your handling of overseas consulates and embassies???
This WH is so incredibly corrupt. This “investigation” is only an attempt to push all observers back far enough so that the State Dept can cover it’s azz and then the WH can seal all records and evidence of the action.
We have got to VOTE these people OUT!
The most transparent government ever....
The only thing that is transparent is this regime is a Communist take over of the USA. They now brazenly use “FORWARD” as their slogan.
Will 2012 be the year when Nikita Krushev says “Checkmate.”?
They must be stopped.
Sounds like the Administration is turning this over to the criminal justice system.
After all “Justice” is a joke now and all in the criminal investigation system are Obama’s “criminals.”
