Susan Rice defends Benghazi interviews

[Comrade Grumpy]

13. Did I say that? I don't think so.

What was the CIA up to in Benghazi?

What was the story with their safe house there (which was also attacked)?

Was there an arms-to-Syrian-rebels-deal going on?

Why did those guys attack the consulate and the CIA safe house?

Rice was, to be charitable, misinformed at best, and it was obvious to anyone watching. I recall watching her myself and thinking "How can she even say that?" at the time.

The Republicans, in their partisan frenzy, tried to make the ambassador's death all about some failing of Hillary Clinton as SOS, and spent months pursuing that angle. So now, any real questions about Benghazi get construed as Republican scandal-mongering.

On edit: Oh, sorry, I didn't see that through your partisan lenses. I'm less interested in whether it was a Republican or Democratic administration than what the spooks were up to and what that had to do with what happened there.
