Hillary Condante: Benghazi was "Preventable," State Department Negligent

In a major revelation from the second batch of WikiLeaks emails from Clinton Campaign
Chairman John Podesta it was learned that Hillary's top con dante Sidney Blumenthal
believed that the investigation into Benghazi was legitimate because it was "preventable"
and the result of State Department negligence.
In an email titled "The Truth" fromHillary's top confidante Sidney Blumenthal, the adviser writing
toundisclosed recipients said that "one important point that has been universally acknowledged bynine
previous reports aboutBenghazi: The attack was almost certainly preventable" inwhat may turn outto be the
big October surprise fromthe WikiLeaks released ofemails hacked fromthe account ofClinton Campaign
Chair John Podesta.
"Clinton was incharge ofthe State Department, and it failed toprotect U.S. personnel atan American
consulate inLibya. If the GOP wants toraise that asa talking point againsther, it is legitimate," said
Blumenthal putting torest the Democratic Party talking point that the investigation intoClinton's
management ofthe State Department atthe time ofthe attack was nothing more thana partisan witch hunt.
Blumenthal went onto assail Republicans forfailing toadequately research the Benghazi reports inmaking
their case againstClinton onwhat he saw asa major vulnerability forher candidacy and claims toeffective
leadership. "Despite all the work that has already been done investigating the attacks, the Benghazi
committee has demonstrated that its members either have not read the reports or do not care aboutthe
conclusions they reached."
The adviser went further inmocking the House Republican investigation saying, "Its members ask questions
ofwitnesses that have already been answered-again and again. In fact, some ofthe questions that
Republicans say have yet tobe addressed have answers that are so well known they already appear onthe
Wikipedia page aboutthe Benghazi attacks, sourced tothe previous government reports."
Ultimately, it was the Clinton confidante's position that Hillary largely dodged a bullet due tothe feckless and
ineffective research bythe House Special Committee onBenghazi toforce the truth tolight and tobe diligent
enough toexamine the record that was provided bycongressional researchers fortheir use.
Hillary Clinton was interviewed bythe Benghazi Committee for11 hours and often references her ability
tostand upto questioning asa sign ofher toughness.

Hillary's neurological disorder is acting up again. She was head of the State Department during that time period.
She pushed for the destruction of Libya and Syria and the weapons ratline to her terrorist pals busy destroying
Syria and murdering its people. All of which led to attack in Benghazi which she failed to anticipate or react to
appropriately. Her horric policies, her responsibility, her failure and no one else's.

Just shows how totally incompetent the entire US politicians are, no matter what side they belong too. I would say
very laughable but I must admit it's quite scary that these dumb and incompetent people are running a crumbling
superpower
