The way this Benghazi is made to be a huge scandal over several years is ridiculously unproportionate. Even if the worst possibility, that Clinton made a grave error in judgment, were true. Which no one really ever could conclusively prove, and from what i heard there were roughly 1.396 different investigations into this whole thing. It's just not a viable scandal.
And that Mr. Gowdy has reason to paint a certain picture, well that's politics, not proof.
Some of you will go to ridiculous lengths to defend her. The amount of money it would have taken to put more security agents and infrasctructure at that consulate is less than a drop in the bucket. The fact all the other Western Govts. closed their shops up and left should have lit someone's light bulb that maybe we needed to leave too, or strengthen security. If you think the scandal is disproportionate, how proportionate do you suppose a US Ambassador and 3 other people's lives should be?
