Clinton: Benghazi security was ‘not my ball to carry’
The Hill ^ | July 24, 2016 | Jessie Hellmann

Posted on 07/25/2016 12:20:58 AM PDT by Enchante

"So when this happened in Benghazi, I immediately stood up an independent committee -- distinguished Americans, military and civilian experts. They came out and they said, "You know, the ball was dropped -- in security. And, you know, some of the decisions that were made, probably should have been rethought."

Clinton went on to say concerns about security at the American Diplomatic Compound in Benghazi never reached her.

“It was not my ball to carry. … Those [security reports] never reached me. Those never came to my attention,” she said.

Shrillary's latest excuse tour.

OF COURSE it was her job to insist upon top security in the most vulnerable places. She doesn't mention her role in all of the problems in Libya. What a whiner.

of course this lying witch ignores myriad issues that have been raised about her conduct before, during, and after.

This was her “3 AM phone call” except that she had loads of advance warning, then had “the call” in late afternoon (DC time) not the middle of the night. She did NOTHING to ensure that aid was sent immediately to Americans who were still under attack for many hours after she learned of the crisis.

Ten, ofc, she lied and lied and lied to the media, the public the families etc.

Yet everyone involved was retained or promoted.

So no one is really responsible. 600 requests for increased security and Hillary had staff country hopping looking for a Lamp she wanted.
This woman is a disaster.

She is such a liar! Stevens was there at her bidding, to provide a situation report within weeks, so that Hillary could announce she was opening an embassy. She sent him, she was responsible for him.

A dead ambassador.... not her fault.

Security personnel who didn’t get the help they needed... not her fault.

And she wants to be President?

She’s not ready for that responsibility.

Human life means nothing to that woman.

Apparently this hag has never learned one thing about Harry Truman. The buck did stop with him, he said.

Hillary wants the trappings of being President with none of the obligations.

What’s scary is enough brain-dead people in this country are poised to grant her her wish.

You ain’t seen nothin’ yet.

Please Hillary, explain to us why you bold faced lied to the parents that had just lost their sons? You can’t explain that and you’ve never even tried to.

Anyone that could do that is less than a human being as far as I’m concerned.

Oh, it's WAY worse than that. They actually gave repeated stand down orders as Americans were under attack in a foreign embassy we had every right to protect with everything we have.

President? Hah. You're unfit for everything and I'm gonna' throw a huge party the day you're defeated, bitch.

Right, I can't wait to see what a real executive, Donald J Trump, is going to say about that.

Just like Obama, she wants to be President, but doesn't want to do President.

She was so busy raking the cash into the crime foundation that she had no time for mundain trivialities like security at a faraway dump in Libya.
