“Can you say “benghazi”?”

Yes, Clinton was exonerated by multiple Republican led congressional investigations. They spent millions and could not find anything to pin on her.

And the investigations were a waste of time and money (from the allegedly fiscally conservative party). They concluded that there was no possible military intervention that could have saved the four Americans. I had actually proven that myself shortly after the attack from publicly available sources regarding the location of US bases and military assets in the region. The closest US Army units were seven hours away by helicopter. Multiple in-flight refuelings would have been required. Our servicemen would have had to land undetected in a country whose language they did not speak and whose alphabet they do not read and find their way to the location of the Consulate (known) and the CIA compound (which they probably did not know existed and would not have been permitted to have been told about) while dodging hostile forces from all sides (pro- and anti- Libyan government). Then, they would have had to fight their way out back to a safe place for helicopters to land and take them to safety. It would have likely been a suicide mission and far more than four Americans would have died — and the rescue would have been too late. It took me less than an hour to map all this out. So yes, I can say Benghazi and Clinton did nothing wrong. The only way to have insured that there will never be an incident like this is to close every US diplomatic facility in the world that is not on a US military base.
