The big ? is why hasn't a select committee be formed and called the former sec of defense to answer some ?'s. Pretty pointless to be mad at anybody other than the speaker of the house.

Rex. You have a top general saying they were ready, they could have intervened and made a difference/impact on the situation but was never given authority by the state department. Is that not enough for you to come to the conclusion that this is all on Hillary?

Not familiar with all of it, but would him disclosing it fall under whistleblower laws

Maybe a dumb question.

But if he has testimony that directly contradicts other testimony, shouldn't he be obligated and protected to give it?

I think security clearance obligations extend to retirement.

My guess is he disclosed it in the closed-door session.

They are asking questions of military personnel. What party to you think the General is a part of?

How is asking questions about the death of Americans and lack of military response partisan?

I know it was just a movie, but Colonel Nathan Jessup told the truth. This guy can too. We can handle the truth.

Soooooooo very desperate to keep Hillary out of the White House it's funny. There is no other point to any of this because it's going absolutely nowhere.

NOBODY, and I mean NOBODY, is paying attention to this partisan witch hunt except butt hurt Republicans such as yourself.

That is the kind of investigation you get when all the documents don't get turned over or they are heavily redacted.

Which is why we needed a select committee investigating this.

I think we all know, even dems that are honest, that this president is nothing more than a liying POS.

You can keep your doctor & insurance.

It was a video.

GWB was irresponsible for spending so much money.

I will be transparent.

He states the failure to act on the state dept, that he was under. He won't give up the direct name, but you can tell, cause he's almost broken down, that he wants to give names, but he isn't...so far.

Sounds like he knows what the right thing to do is but is pussing out and feels bad about it.

Hillary and Obama covered up while US Citizens died without as much as an attempt to try help them. Impeach the whole crew and crucify their apologist for good measure

I think this is a situation where the coverup is worse than the act...

It is absolutely terrible that Americans died, but had the admin come out and said "We fricked up, we didn't know the severity of what was going on and chose to stand down out of caution" this would have been done and over.

Not really, I think she did get called, all be it not by a select committee, but nevertheless she was called.

The biggest culprit in all this, imho, is the news media not doing their jobs because of their partisan allegiance to the liberal ideology of the progressives.

The liberals have got their pants caught on their on pitchfork.

Yep, its always the cover-up. Cause they have denied all this. Denied that the White House was involved in the talking points. Now we find out they made up the video excuse. Lied to the families of the dead. Spent millions on commercials in Pakistan to sell the lies. All for Political gain, off the backs of dead Americans...
