WASHINGTON (AP) -- Three State Department officials resigned under pressure Wednesday, less than a day after a damning report blamed management failures for a lack of security at the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, where militants killed the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans on Sept. 11.

An administration official said Eric Boswell, the assistant secretary of state for diplomatic security, Charlene Lamb, the deputy assistant secretary responsible for embassy security, and an unnamed official with the Bureau of Near East Affairs, had stepped down. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to discuss personnel matters publicly.

The report said poor leadership in both bureaus left the post underprotected.

I wonder if anybody’s gonna take a walk in the park on this one.

Broadwell was scared witless looks like to me, when someone (I would assume loverboy) asked to meet her in the park to get their stories straight.

So scared she dropped her license beforehand to have a breadcrumb trail to bargain with just in case she needed it.

Just a hunch.

Lets see I am thinking they are attempting to save their
female Goddess Clinton... Remember her husband is the one who seduced a 19 year old intern to have repeated sex with while in the Oval office. And then he committed perjury to cover it up. Then he came on T.V> and had puffy looking eyes and said “It depends on what your definition of “IS” is.” Now he is the poster child and the elder statesman for the democratic party. They all love this man! Well, this is his wife, who for the life of me, I cannot find ANY accomplishments other than being Hillary Clinton. name one ... What has she ever done with the exception of managing to be slicker than her husband is at getting out of any accountability. But SHE is the NEW face of the democratic party. They all worship her. for what?
