Clinton guilty of dereliction of duty

Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi. Deposing Gadhafi, the Libyan dictator, resulted in Libya thrown into chaos.

Our Ambassador sent several requests to the State Department asking to either beef up the security or close the embassy. These requests were ignored. Obama facing a tough 2012 re-election, an admission of a major foreign policy failure. Secretary Clinton close to go with Obama's code of silence which meant leaving Benghazi to its fate until after the election. Unfortunately, Al-Qaeda had a different timetable. On the anniversary of 9/11, the embassy was destroyed and four Americans were killed, including Ambassador Stevens.

The four deaths could have been prevented had she been faithful to her sworn duty as Secretary of State. What followed was a torrent of lies. Just one example. She lied to the families receiving the remains of their loved ones on the tarmac claiming that it was a spontaneous demonstration that erupted in violence. When her lie became known, Sec. Clinton call the families liars. Very presidential.

During the House Benghazi hearing she passionately declared "What difference at this point does it make" How could such words, no mater the context, cross one's lips with four Americans dead? Four lives dismissed as "what difference does it make." Shame on her. She is amoral.

Where is our sense of right and wrong? How could such as person even be considered for president, even if the bar is as low as "the lesser of two evils"?

The Congressional hearings did not produce a smoking gun of criminal wrongdoing. Hillary, there is a crime of "dereliction of duty." And you are guilty
