There’s pressure on Hillary Clinton to surrender her private email server. Inspectors general from two government agencies are concerned about whether she used her unsecured email for classified government communications.
The House Select Committee on Benghazi is reviewing circumstances leading to the Sept. 11, 2012, storming of the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, and deserves access to Clinton’s emails. Attention needs to be paid to the months leading up to and immediately following the attack.
Some questions I have are:
1) Were requests for increasing security denied, and why?
2) What was known about pending attacks? Why weren’t more U.S. Marines dispatched?
3) After the attack began, why weren’t fast-response soldiers dispatched?
4) Who discussed and authorized the cover-up on the Sunday talk shows by then-United Nations ambassador Susan Rice, who claimed the “spontaneous” riot was due to some video, since the attack indicated planning and expense?
In a 2013 Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing, Clinton responded “the fact is we had four dead Americans. Was it because of a protest, or was it because of guys out for a walk one night who decided that they’d they go kill some Americans? What difference at this point does it make?” This dismissive answer from Clinton denied Americans any sense of what really happened in the halls of authority.
