#1 The Canada Free Press has a fairly good summary of this security debacle. Canada Free Press. It's possible that Obama and Hilarity both believe in Soros "No Borders" OWG and they extend this concept to security and emails as well. Maybe that is why she was so sloppy. As the candidate said about Benghazi: "What difference does it make?" Well the difference is that Russians, Chinese, and radical Islamics may have hacked her unencrypted personal server. Four good people died is the difference.

#2 Mills also ~~sanitized~~ recommended "changes" in the "independent" ARB Benghazi Report :

But raising alarms on the right, Mills, Clinton’s former chief of staff at the State Department, also told the House Select Committee on Benghazi that she reviewed and made suggestions for changes to the government’s official, final report on what happened in Benghazi, according to a separate, GOP source familiar with what she said.

The source said it “call[s] into question the ‘independence’” of the report’s conclusions. …

One of the biggest surprises to the right was that she said she made suggestions to change state’s accountability review board report. The report was supposed to be independent from state officials that may be involved, and the GOP argues top officials should not have had input, long questioning how independent the findings were.

It doesn’t call it into question; Mills’ testimony debunks the claim of independence altogether. That should have been disregarded from the beginning. Let’s not forget that Ambassador Thomas Pickering decided early on to focus on those below the political-appointment rank in the ARB’s investigation, never bothering to interview people like Patrick Kennedy, the undersecretary of State whose responsibilities included facility security. Now we find out that Pickering apparently ran the report by Mills for her approval and editing, which a truly independent investigation would hardly do. It’s yet another reason for a Congressional investigation into Benghazi, and the Libya policies that led up to it.

#3 Four good people died is the difference.

Sorry to tell you this JQC but to the members of this regime this makes no difference whatsoever.

Unless there is some direct immediate personal effect on them there attitude is "So what?"

Iran gets the bomb? So what.
Israel gets nuked? So what.
Russia captures the Ukraine, the Baltics and Finland? So what.
China takes Taiwan and moves on Japan? So what.
They get brought into court? OMG THIS IS A REVOLUTION CALL OUT THE ARMY!!!

#4 It's not so much a "so what' as "check off another milestone requirement" All is proceeding according to plan.

Never attribute to conspiracy theory what can be explained by sheer venality.

#6 I forget the rule exactly, but I believe so-called "impeachment" doesn't apply to current or former Fed-level Agency heads, only to the PRESIDENCY???

SecState Hillary had no formal authority to send in, or NOT send in, any Benghazi relief force widout the Bammer's consent.
