Thanks for the clarification and link! We need to never forget the depths of corruption liberals are willing to stoop to.

Cheers!

After all these years on FR it’s still not easy to plumb the depths of liberal corruption. It’s mind boggling! It’s a bottomless well that they just keep hurtling further downward in.

I'd honestly have to fight the urge to take credit for it. In a Nathan Hale sort of way.

I just got back from seeing this movie and the first thing I thought as I left the theatre was why is Obama still free to be POTUS and why is Hillary free to run for POTUS? They both belong in prison.

This article is from May, 2013.

Boxer’s premise was proven wrong in multiple hearings in 2012 and 2013.

Hillary Clinton had plenty of funds at her disposal in the State Dept. budget to beef up security.

This was just circle the wagons time for the Dems.

The real reason for Benghazi? See my tagline—Eric Nordstrom’s testimony from 10/10/12.

Thank you! I'm glad to do it. Here are some other relevant stories about security arrangements. (or lack of them as the case was)

State Dept. Rules of Engagement Kept Marines out of Tripoli, Benghazi in Libya 14 Sep 2012

British firm secured Benghazi consulate contract with little experience

British Security Firm Facing Questions Over Role in Benghazi (U.S. Cons. guarded by unarmed Libyans)

State Dept Reverses Denial of Hiring British Security Firm in Benghazi

Sharyl Attkisson interviews Lt. Colonel Andrew Wood about Benghazi on October 8, 2012 video 3:11

Lt. Colonel Andrew Wood was the DoD head of security for Ambassador Stevens and his staff. He says the State Department systematically REMOVED security around Ambassador Stevens despite repeated requests for more.

Blow-by-Blow: How Obama & Hillary Left Americans to Die

Nordstrom further testified in writing that Hillary Clinton waived security requirements for the Benghazi consulate despite high and critical threat levels in the six categories of security standards established under the Overseas Security Policy Board and the Secure Embassy Construction and Counterterrorism Act of 1999.

The waiver can only be authorized by the Secretary of State, who cannot delegate that responsibility to someone else. "If the Secretary of State did not waive these requirements, who did so by ordering occupancy of the facilities in Benghazi and Tripoli?" Nordstrom wrote.

Steven’s wasn’t at an Embassy. Cutting Embassy funding?!

Steven’s went to a “safe house” that was 1 mile from a CIA station in the middle of a war zone, deep in injun country, at Midnight, on 9/11.

None of the above has *anything* to do with reduced (ha!) Embassy funding.

...sure would be nice to know why an Ambassador went into a Libyan war zone to meet a Turkish emissary, though (and I don’t mean that I want to hear theories from out of the loop civilians...I mean that I want the Administration to explain).

This professional SLUT making herself rich from your valet, stealing, forgetting that the first fat “lady” from State testified, on the first hearing, that there was NO lack of funding. Confirmed by other State’s people.

Same as saying that the Navy were also “castrated” due to lack of funding not intervening from helping the captured boats by IRAN, BS !!!

Barbara Boxer’s Sr. foreign policy & defense advisor was Ann Norris.
Ann Norris is the wife of Obama’s pet fiction writer, Ben Rhodes, or his media brother, I forget which....
