[Scouts-eng] Here they are: Hillary's 23 biggest scandals ever - 20) Benghazi: 4 American lives lost

[edell at post.com]

During his 1992 campaign for the presidency, Bill Clinton was 
fond of promising America, “You get two for the price of one,” 
indicating Hillary Clinton would act as his co-president.

But the nation got much more than it bargained for, as the top 
power couple brought a load of baggage with them into the White 
House from their days in Arkansas.

After the Clintons moved into the presidential mansion, the 
political scandals multiplied – from use of the IRS and FBI to 
target political opponents to stalking and harassing subjects of 
Bill Clinton’s sexual advances and even attempts to loot 
taxpayer-funded items from the White House. Americans also 
witnessed capers such as Travelgate, Chinagate, Filegate and 
Pardongate.

Bill Clinton’s sexual escapades and subsequent impeachment by 
the U.S. House of Representatives on charges of perjury and 
obstruction of justice consumed more than a year of American 
public life and bitterly divided the nation.

In the years since the memorable Clinton presidency, Hillary has 
brought America Emailgate and the Benghazi scandal, among 
others. New developments in the Clinton Foundation scandals 
emerges almost daily.

Now, it’s Hillary’s “turn” to be president, according to her 
Democrat supporters.

But in 2015, America is still apparently suffering from “Clinton 
fatigue.” Results from a Quinnipiac poll published in April 
revealed between 49 and 56 percent of voters in three 
significant swing states – Colorado, Virginia and Iowa – believe 
Hillary is neither honest nor trustworthy.

Even former California Democratic Party Chairman Bill Press told 
WND that controversies surrounding Hillary should convince 
members of his own party an uncontested coronation of Clinton as 
the party’s 2016 nominee for the White House is a very risky 
idea and should encourage other Democrats to throw their hats in 
the ring.

Sen. Marco Rubio, a Republican candidate for president, said 
Sunday he believes voters will reject Hillary because of the 
“cloud of constant scandal she brings to the political process.”

Rubio told Fox News Sunday, “Unfortunately, both under her 
husband’s presidency, her time in the Department of State, her 
campaign for the president last time and even now, there seems 
to be this cloud of constant scandal and things that distract us 
from the core issues of the moment.”

Hillary’s “drama” could become a distraction, Rubio warned, at a 
time when the stakes are high for America in the 2016 election.

“I just think that at this hinge moment in our history, where we 
are asked to make a transition from the past into this new 
future, with all the challenges and the opportunities of our 
time that we really – the American people are not at a point now 
where they are going to be supportive of more drama surrounding 
the political process,” he said.

In 2003, ABC News’ Barbara Walters referenced numerous Clinton 
scandals from Whitewater to Travelgate and the death of Hillary 
law partner Vince Foster in an interview with then-Sen. Clinton.

Walters asked Hillary, “How did you get in this mess where your 
whole credibility is being questioned?”

Hillary’s response: “Oh, I ask myself that every day, Barbara, 
because it’s very surprising and confusing to me.”

Words,” find out who the true Hillary is with this raw and 
humorous collection of quotes that pitilessly underscores her 
hypocrisy

With the prospect of another “two-for-one” Clinton presidency 
looming, is America ready for a repeat of the Bill and Hillary 
“drama” in the White House?

If, as psychologists say, “The best predictor of future behavior 
is past behavior,” then a fresh look at the top 20 scandals 
involving Hillary is in order.

20) Benghazi: 4 American lives lost

On Sept. 11, 2012, while Hillary was secretary of state, Islamic 
militants attacked a U.S. special mission in Benghazi, Libya, 
and murdered U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and U.S. 
Foreign Service Information Management officer Sean Smith. Two 
CIA contractors, Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty, were also killed.

In the months leading up to the attack, Hillary’s State 
Department cut security in Libya.  Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., 
accused Hillary of “dereliction of duty” that led to the deaths 
of the four Americans.

“The State Department not only failed to honor repeated requests 
for additional security, but instead actually reduced security 
in Libya,” Johnson wrote in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. 
“Although no one can say with certainty, I firmly believe a 
relatively small contingent of armed military guards would have 
prevented the attack, and those four lives would not have been 
lost.”

In “The REAL Benghazi Story: What the White House and Hillary 
Don’t Want You to Know,” New York Times bestselling author Aaron 
Klein provides shocking details about the central role Hillary 
Clinton actually played in the scandal

As WND reported, a security decision finalized personally by 
Hillary may have unwittingly doomed the Americans in Benghazi. 
Hillary herself signed waivers that allowed the facility to be 
legally occupied, since it did not meet the minimum official 
security standards set by the State Department. The waiver 
legally allowed the CIA annex to be housed in a location about 
one mile from the U.S. special mission.

According to accounts from Benghazi survivors, the delayed 
response time by those at the CIA annex may have cost the lives 
of Stevens and the three other Americans killed at the special 
mission. If the CIA annex had been co-located with the U.S. 
special mission, a rapid response team would have been on site 
during the initial assault in which Stevens was killed. 
Clinton’s waiver allowed the CIA annex to be housed at the 
separate location.
As WND also reported, State Department emails show Clinton knew 
while the attack was under way that it was being carried out by 
terrorists.

Judicial Watch has obtained previously classified documents from 
the U.S. Department of Defense and the Department of State 
revealing that DOD almost immediately reported that the attack 
on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, was planned and 
carried out by al-Qaida and Muslim Brotherhood-linked 
terrorists. A federal court ordered the government hand over 
more than 100 pages of previously secret documents that showed 
then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and other senior Obama 
officials were given reports within hours of the Sept. 11, 2012, 
attack. In those memos, the DOD described details of a plan 10 
days in advance “to kill as many Americans as possible.”

Nonetheless, Hillary falsely blamed it on “rage and violence 
over an awful Internet video” when she spoke at a ceremony at 
Andrews Air Force Base on Sept. 14, 2012, as the remains of the 
four Americans were returned to the U.S.

To this day, Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., says the State Department 
has failed to comply with requests for information about 
Benghazi.

Sounds like Obama was a coward and refused to do his job...
