Select Committee on Benghazi Releases Proposed Report

We differ. I find the lies to the families enough to vote for anybody but.

I find the lies to the citizens of the country to show a disregard for the citizens of the country.

SSG John Thornton - But you still have not answered Capt. Porter's questions.

SSG John Thornton - This is my understanding of the timeline. The administration publicly blamed a Youtube video for sparking the "fire" in Benghazi. Then there were private emails sent by Secretary Clinton that contradicted that claim. After those emails were sent, Secretary then told the families of the victims the Youtube video was to blame.

Is my understanding of the timeline incorrect?

While the death of the four men is a tragedy, I would "let it go" if the administration said "We made a mistake and we have learned from it." There is an appearance, that the pending election figured into what was released to the public. No one has proven that to my satisfaction, but it is not to my satisfaction disproven either. I base that more on my perception that this administration lacks the promised transparency, lacks a track record of holding people accountable, and lacks the ability to admit mistakes.

Reputation matters. In my opinion, this administration's reputation is not good.

SSG John Thornton - What assertions that are not backed up? Either the families are lying of Hillary is.

And there is absolutely NO doubt that the administration blamed a video for the attacks.

Yea I did too we may never know for sure but I think the budget was $3 Mill so they may be checking the actual expenditures that take time

It was more than that. The costs do not include the costs to the agencies repeatedly complying with the same requests. I read at one point that the costs may be over $100m.
