I think she resigned in part because she got tired of being kicked around and in part because she realized that she was going to be blamed for the whole Benghazi thing, as if she were a rogue SOS who was busy undermining his sainted highness Obama.

This is going to get interesting as the noose closes on Clinton. Is she going to fight or just try to ooze off into the sunset? Is she such a committed leftist that she'll take one for the cause or will she take Obama down? If she's looking weakened for 2016, there's Presidential aspirants on both sides of the aisle who will want to take bites out of her. I think she's soon going to feel like a cow who's sleepwalked into a piranha filled river.

As Travis McGee has pointed out definitively, ONLY the CIC has can authorize cross border military action.

So the buck stops clearly on 0bastard’s desk for this. He had to be the one who issued the no go order. Only he could have authorized any military action to save the men in Benghazi.

During the previous summer, Hillary announced that she would resign the SOS, effective the end of Obama's first term.

She wants the presidency bad. No way she’s going down.

Lol! Great description of Hillary’s situation!

I too wonder about what she’s going to do. Unless she’s a total fool, she must realize that her chances of being the candidate are nil. So they’ve got nothing to offer her.

I also think she’s afraid of the legal ramifications of taking the hit for Obama, so the combination of lack of a carrot on the part of the Obama cabal and the threat of prosecution or lawsuits may be enough to make her reconsider her “stand by your man” devotion to Obama.

Also, Bill has been conspicuously silent about this whole thing.
