#1 It is beginning to look as though this entire sordid and tragic Benghazi mess could be falling at the feet of Hildebeast. A denial of pre-attack reinforcements along with a denial of post-attack formal rescue mission or standard Non-Combatant Evacuation (NEO) now appears quite likely. The Klingons opted for a private contract bird EXFIL of their own people along with a few of the hapless State Department walking wounded.

The above scenario would allow the two [potentially at odds] agencies to pursue individual decision making less damaging exposure, knowledgeability, and direct input from the Champ.

With mileage from her recent congressional testimony screaming fit ["what difference does it make"] now expired, perhaps another fall, dark glasses, and memory problems could be in the future for the now reclusive Hildebeast.

#2 It almost makes you wonder if Champ set her up...

#3 No Raj, my assessment is she has never had much time for authority figures, ie, Secret Service, Military, law enforcement and the like. Not sure where she picked up here distaste, possibly the Arkansas State Police secret dating service... who knows.

In light of the, then upcoming elections, I suspect Champ's trusted senior advisor(s) quickly spirited him away from the blast radius with as much plausible deniability as possible. It appears at that point it may have been.... everyone to the boats, good luck you bastids, you're on your own.

In a post-game strategy session I can easily see the Champ saying: Golly [Dave, Val, John, FLOTUS] you guys were right, she is a nutjob.

Yale.

Or perhaps the Park Ridge Public Library...

#5 The hidden plan of this regime has always been to figure out how to get Zero to be president-for-life.

What was this speech about "don't worry about tyranny"?? Why bring it up if you don't want it?
Me thinks the "lady" doth protest too much."

More and more government control anyway anyhow is what this regime wants. Gun control, Obamacare, everything done to control energy through the EPA and executive orders, drones at home, the hit list, etc. all has one goal.

Benghazi and virtually all foreign policy is nothing but an irrelevant side show and needs to be white washed and swept under the rug to mix a metaphor.

#6 The party faithful may love her, but the regime only knows safeguard the Big Man. So under the bus she goes. Thump, thump...you know the tune.

#7 Envision FLOTUS, Val, and Holder doing a happy dance. Bill Clinton.... "I tried to tell ya, I tried to tell ya".

#8 I recall that Tricky Dick left several of his associates twisting in the wind, too. It didn't work for him.

#9 SR-71, what you are leaving out is that Tricky Dick didn't have the entire MSM working to bury it. Do you really think that investigative journalism like in the Watergate case could ever happen now to target Zero?

#12 You know the statement "President for life" has two entirely different meanings, Just depends on what you say.
