White House: Clinton’s 'Signature' on Benghazi Docs Doesn't Mean She Knew of Them April 25, 2013 By Fred Lucas
(CNSNews.com) – The White House dismissed the signature of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on documents ignoring security concerns in Benghazi, calling it “protocol” for government official “signatures” to appear on documents they did not sign.
“It is standard protocol that cables originating from the department in Washington go out under the authority of the current Secretary of State with their signature, i.e. their name, typed at the bottom,” White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said Wednesday, using his fingers for quote marks when he said “signature.” He continued. “This practice has been in place throughout this administration and across prior administrations, both Democratic and Republican.”
A report by five House committees released Tuesday found that Senior State Department officials, including Clinton, approved reductions in security at the facilities in Benghazi, Libya. The report cites an April 19, 2012, cable bearing Clinton's signature acknowledging a March 28, 2012, request from then-U.S. Ambassador to Libya Gene Cretz for more security, yet allowing further reductions.
On Sept. 11, 2012, terrorists killed four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens, in Benghazi. Obama administration officials first told the public that the attack was a spontaneous response to an anti-Muslim You Tube video.
The interim report was a joint effort of the Republican controlled House Judiciary, Armed Services, Oversight and Government Reform, Foreign Affairs, and Intelligence committees. House Democrats on these committees said they were not asked to participate.

And he fingerprints were on classified FBI files that she never saw. I see a pattern here.
Also, her signature is somewhat large, I note.
Oh jeez.. that doesn’t look like my signature on those mortgage papers, no sirree. nice try, Hil.. we feeel yur pain.. sthe ice.
House Bank, Cattle futures, CountryWide, is there no end to the lies and exception from the left’s steaming miles of fresh manure uhh shining DNC stars ;-?
True, but many of the government overlords don’t seem to be too concerned with what’s “legal”.
Please could one man or woman of character please step forward.
UHG
women keep diaries, men keep concubines and conquests.. the aroma of me-ISm and its cost is overwhelming.. to the victor go the spoils din’t work real well for Hil or O in Libya.. the story will unfold over time.. just like the Rose law firm firm billing records eventually surfaced.. maybe in 2017 after she moves to 1600 Penn. (scary thought huh? an ‘unhinged’ women at the helm)
Soooo...the person in charge has no clue what official documents are being issued in their name.
Seems legit.
No, it’s like Nancy Pelosi saying “You’ve got to sign it before you can read it”.
NO Secy of State would ever let a subordnate sign off on a major security request cable/letter, in a sane administration.
However, the Obama regime is an authoritarian, we don’t give a damn about the “bumps” (graves) in the road, entity.
The truth is not a concern for them. Safety for our troops and diplomats is not a concern for them.
ONLY POWER IS A CONCERN FOR THEM!!!!!!
Perhaps she didn’t see them and Obama and Co are throwing her under the bus.
Wouldn’t that be great?
I wonder why Congress is just going after her, and not Obama, or anyone else? Perhaps it is way for her to appear persecuted, and get more support?
Sophistry, plane and simple. It is such a knee jerk reaction that they lie when the truth would serve them better.
What difference does it make....
this is bs ... but anyway, anyone who signs important documents s/he doesn’t even bother to read... should not be entrusted ever again with responsibility for any public business, especially if involving the national security or lives of our citizens
Thanks. Just seems so bloody obvious doesn’t it?
You betcha! obama and his thugs have been abusing their power to go after political enemies...not true enemies..like Islamist terrorists. There is no doubt that members of our party have been being black mailed and threatened.
It is the Alinsky Way...’make them live up to their own morals’...what liberals never understand is that Christians believe in redemption through Christ. We know we are not perfect..but we try to live good, Godly lives...we fall short.we pick ourselves up and move forward through God’s love.
Liberals have no guiding light that is ‘Greater than themselves’....hence hard to pin them in an Alinsky fashion. No conservative wants to run for office especially when the GOPe will not have their backs and the out of control government is blackmailing them and their families.
This country lost one of the potential greatest leaders of our time, when they smeared and crucified Sarah Palin....and our elites let it happen with nary a push back. Sad.
Robo-signing?
I’ll never understand the propensity of our “leaders” to run so far from accountability.
If you did what you were supposed to be doing, you wouldn’t have to run from the results.
Hear, hear! A thoughtful summation by the honorable gentleman.
Lawless lawyers, until it’s a weapon against the law abiding?
Ps 94
20 Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law?
The Magna Carta comes forcibly to mind.
