So, DU, Benghazi. Do you agree there is NOTHING, NOTHING at all to this story
other than what we know?
That NO email is going to shed any light on anything?
I will add that the whole thing stinks to high heaven as in CIA, but NOTHING at all that can remotely be thought of as a negative action or inaction by Obama or Hillary or anybody other than the CIA, right?
Do we ALL agree?

1. Never was anything to the Benghazi story but I am sure there are DUers who think so

16. I believe that the day she announces her candidacy Dowdy will make a stunning announcement
..and the Kristol, CLinton-hating machine will do this every time she appears in the National spotlight for the benefit of America.
Don't think they will give her one moment to shine without their bought n paid for media will be instructed to apply the full court press on the latest smear he will send them.
I think this is how they will treat Hillary's campaign the whole way through.
I hope the backlash at the polls in Nov 2016 is so great that Dowdy & his hacks are soundly reminded that this country still belongs to all American citizens.

5. Benghazi is pure bull shit, but the response to emailgate sucked.
You don't need 2 phones for 2 email accounts. It took nearly a week for her team to come up with an excuse that makes no sense at all and it scares me.
I really am afraid that she is going to be a terrible candidate.

17. She is "handling" this last one quite well I'd say.
She has moved her announcement date up & is going forward regardless of the blatherings and false accusations of the GOP.
Hillsry has dealt with these same people as long as she's been in DC.
She knows who they are & how they play their sleazy game.
She will do the best she can do.
I wish her well.
She has an enormous following and an equally powerful team that also knows who the Rove, Kristol GOP people are. They have also dealt with them before.
However, she also has an huge fan base that will support her to the end.

13. You can access thousands of email accounts on one phone
You don't need to carry two. It makes no sense.

15. You couldn't in 2009. But it doesn't matter whether it was one device or two.
She would still be the one deciding whether to use her personal account or her .gov account for any particular email.

29. There was a WA Post story explaining that in 2009 the government's
phone didn't allow for two email accounts. So whatever was theoretically possible is really beside the point.

35. You need to read that whole story.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-fix/wp/2015/03/10/why-couldnt-hillary-clinton-have-two-email-accounts-on-one-phone/
^Snip^
Obama's former speechwriter Jon Favreau indicated on Twitter that two devices was the norm. "You couldn't with WH accounts (and I guess State too) until maybe 2011-12," he tweeted, later adding that "eventually there was an app for your iPhone that allowed you to access your WH emails," and that "you couldn't access Gmail on any WH computers either." Senior administration officials having two phones is still common to this day.
Others offer a different story. BuzzFeed's Evan McMorris-Santoro reported that when he was transportation secretary, Ray LaHood had both government and personal e-mail on one BlackBerry device. Emily Miller, a journalist who was an appointee in the State Department under President George W. Bush, indicated the same, tweeting that "we had both unclassified State email and personal email on the same Blackberry" when she was in the administration.
Update: A document provided to The Post from Clinton staff indicates that none of the e-mail sent to Clinton's personal account was classified. "Classified information was viewed in hard copy by the Secretary while in the office," it says. "While on travel, the Department had rigorous protocols for her and traveling staff to receive and transmit information of all types."

20. All we needed to know, was who printed the first story and that William Kristol's name was attached.
Kristol has been driving the Clinton hate machine since the 90's.
Surprised Ann Coulter & her bff KellyAnn Fitzpatrick haven't been on air spouting their CLinton hate also.
Those old snakes all hang together.

10. Benghazi was pumped up by Republian Flatulance and the expression of Issa's wet dream.
There is nothing to it.

21. The is something to the story....
The GOP made an austerity cut to international embassy security and the ambassador is dead because of it.

25. Nope. There is more to Benghazi, but not to the attack on Stevens.
I think Petraeus and Co. were up to some hinky shit there. It's what prevents the GOP from fully running with a more penetrating investigation, instead of surface political shit-slinging.

44. There you Go. That's the real scandal in this story. Hillary is their scapegoat.
Typical sleeze from the Reich Wing.

They know what a train wreck her candidacy already is.

The Liberal standard goto...
Our peeps are *NEVER* bad, if there is something that makes one of them seem bad, it is most definitely a setup by the VRWC !

The CIA is blamed, but not Mossad, too? Or did I miss it?
