Benghazi report: It's clear Clinton put her own ambitions above fidelity to the law

The 800-plus-page report of the House Select Committee on Benghazi was released earlier this week. It slams former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for her willful indifference to her obligation to repel military-style attacks on American interests and personnel at the U.S. Consulate and a nearby CIA annex in Benghazi, Libya. She particularly failed to save the lives of U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three of his colleagues, all under her care and control while she was secretary of state.

The report also slams Clinton for her repeated lies about the cause of the attacks. After she told her daughter in an email that the Benghazi consulate had been attacked by an organized terrorist group using heavy military hardware, she told her colleagues at the State Department that the attacks were a spontaneous overreaction by locals to an American-made internet video about the Prophet Muhammad.

After telling that lie, she sent another email, this one to the Egyptian foreign minister, repeating what she had truthfully told her daughter.

Media must believe we're all idiots to believe the meeting aboard a plane between the AG & clinton was merely chance & that they discussed only grandchildren & golf. Well, the golf must be hideous to require all her staff to exit the plane so they could have privacy.
How stupid do they think we are?

What fidelity to the law? There is only one law, and it's Clinton law.
