@Jaxk Entirely correct, as far as you go.
Those with executive power tend to do a ton of delegation, and I’m not entirely convinced that the physical security of one particular embassy is enough of a pressing concern that any high-level diplomat/secretary type has a hand in it.
I will grant that a good executive will want at least some level of awareness of what’s going on beneath them, but I don’t think that a full-on Congressional hearing was required to do what should’ve been done before Hillary served in any capacity other than First Lady. I seem to recall Secretaries of State requiring senatorial approval before taking the job, and Clinton getting resounding bipartisan support (a vote of 94–2) in her confirmation, so any questioning of Hillary’s competence implies that the entire Senate failed in their due diligence.
And regardless of her role in all of this, there are plenty of other people who should’ve been investigated and questioned as well; most of them people who are paid for no job other than embassy security, and who probably already told at least one of the previous committees all that they know. Boehner felt the same way, and it cost him his job.
Now, if you want to argue that Hillary is someone who would do anything to cover her own ass, well, despite all of our disagreements over the years, I would not only concede that to you, but hand it to you on a silver platter with a cherry on top.
