(EXCERPT) On September 15, in a telephone call with then-Egyptian Foreign Minister Mohamed Amr, Secy Clinton emphatically portrayed the “stupid, very offensive film” as the root cause of the Benghazi violence. Clinton told Amr, “I have repeatedly, as has the President and other officials in our government, deplored not only the content of this stupid, very offensive film… But we have to exercise more self-discipline… otherwise we’ll be in a vicious downward circle against everyone who has ever felt offended, particularly on the internet….”
After referring to Benghazi, Secy Clinton’s telephone call with then-Egyptian Foreign Minister Mohamed Amr also contained a curious reference to what the former secretary referred to as a “very successful investment visit led by my deputy Tom Nides, and, on the very day they left, this series of incidents began to unfold.”
According to the Washington Post, Nides, who was deputy secretary for management and resources at the State Department, was at the same time responsible for “communications with donors” to the Clinton Foundation. Nides was also involved in the earlier scandal involving Secy Clinton’s efforts to provide special access to State Department officials for hedge fund clients of her son-in-law, Marc Mezvinsky.

As FReeper 2big2fail posted: What possible insight could Hillary have on financial markets and economics that even the lower-echelon employees do not? Reporters for the Wall Street Journal know 50 times what Hillary knows about these topics. She is so obviously not paid for her insights. She is paid to be “bought.”

Hah. G/S needs her "expertise" on "cattle futures." (smirk)
