This is an interesting exercise only to those who believe HRC "denied" requests for more security when those requests did not go directly to her. Sure, they say the buck stops w/the person in charge, but it seems everyone is free to blame "low level" staff or chain of command except for HRC.
Which brings me to the reason for the graphic depicting embassies and consulates that have in the past been attacked. What previous attacks demonstrate is that not one Secretary of State in the Bush Administration (or a previous administration) was hauled into Congress to answer for those attacks. Dems are mature enough to understand that those who are serve around the world in the diplomatic service are at risk, particularly when serving in politically volatile areas.. [/quote]

She did not deny requests. Litigated. No wrongdoing found.

You know the old slogan, "Peace Through Strength".

Trump has been described as a bully. Talks all sorts of shite about Mexicans and building a wall then tucks his tail in his bum when meeting the President of Mexico. No one respects Trump! No one! Even more importantly, no one is afraid of Trump. He has done nothing to demonstrate how strong he'd be... unless of course, if that strength involves insulting women.
