Hillary Testifies on Benghazi

[KAPA]

Admittedly, I have not followed this very closely from day one but it seems to me with her being responsible for this overall situation, her saying that she did not know about the requests for more security is not an excuse that excludes her from responsibility of dead Americans. This happened on her watch, her people could not defend themselves and they realized this. They asked for more security and were ignored by Hillary's staff back in DC. I don't believe for a second that she was unaware of an escalating security threat, but even if she was not aware, she is guilty of running an operation with a deadly dangerous process that resulted in the deaths of Americans.

She basically prevented these Americans from being able to defend themselves properly when the guys in Benghazi knew there was an escalating threat... Now this same failed line of thinking wants to orchestrate some sort of gun confiscation program here in the States as President. Hand in your guns, don't worry, Hillary will protect you!!

Feel free to correct me if I have some things wrong here... That actually might make us better off.

All true as far as I know, but I don't think anything will come of it, but I do hope I'm very very wrong.

My theory is the current admin has the inside track and knows there isn't enough dirt on her. If there was then Crazy Joe would be running, but he bowed out, which is weird.
I think he did it because he knows Hillary will skate and he put Party over personal ambition. I believe he'd be running if there was any indication she was going down.
Again, I hope I'm full of sh*t and totally wrong, but at the moment that's how I see it.

Too many sociopaths in the government for anything good to come out. Mainstream media is censored. Only public outrage can change it, and I don't see that. Come election day, you will again have a choice of two evils...

I wasted 5 mins of my life watching this this morning. Like others have said, nothing good will come from this. It's like a bunch of kids saying "You're a doodoo head" "No...YOU are" "Nuh uhh, you are".

She can't deny that there was negligence here. I guess sucking at your job and failing is not necessarily a criminal offense, but exposing this failure should shed some light on her abilities as an executive leader. There has to be at least a few Americans out there that will now see that.

Now if they find that she lied, tried to cover this up, and failed to secure sensitive documents, then there should be charges and then the run for office is over. Seems to me, the failure to secure sensitive documents is obvious and we are just waiting for the FBI to take action. Now when will that be?

This may be like comparing apples and oranges, but by the logic you use here (and I don't disagree one bit), the heads of the FAA's security pre-9/11 should be just as culpable as Hillary. They ignored the warnings from the Red Teams that there were vulnerabilities in security that would allow an attack to take place, and chose to ignore. Just like Hillary ignored the warnings from those on the ground, in the know, that stated security was a big issue. My hope is that something comes out of this that ends her presidential run, but in reality, I'm willing to bet nothing severe will come down on her. I really hope Michael Bay's new Benghazi movie coming out next year plays to the lack of leadership on her part, but I'm not holding my breath.

No one died in Watergate... Hope your blood pressure isn't as high as mine on that comparison.

I can see the argument but I don't recall the security in Portland Maine calling the FAA and telling them "stop flying planes because some bad guys just flew out of here and are coming your way" and then the FAA ignoring the warning. I think lax immigration/visitation policies were a far larger contributor to 9/11 than anything airport security related but that is another topic.

The thing that gets me is Hillary or her staff at minimum ignored the calls from Benghazi saying that bad things are about to happen. Who got that call and why didn't they send it up the ladder? Or did they send it up the ladder and she told them "its not in the budget to send any more help, figure it out on your own".

I keep coming back to her gun control desires. She is trying to convince the public that the government will take care of you and you don't need guns, yet she is a glaring example of why YOU are responsible for YOUR own protection when the shit hits the fan.
