So, Hillary told WSJ LAST WEDNESDAY she accepted responsibility

for the Bengazi attack. Why did the WSJ wait until last night to report it?

On Monday night, the Journal's Monica Langley reported that Clinton made a similar comment to her in a recent interview. That comment had not previously been published.

"I take responsibility," Clinton told the Journal. "I'm the Secretary of State with 60,000-plus employees around the world. This is like a big family … It's painful, absolutely painful."

Clinton sat for an interview with the Journal last Wednesday and there was no embargo preventing the paper from publishing any part of it, a State Department spokesman told The Huffington Post

While the interview may have been conducted as part of an upcoming profile of Clinton, it's common for news organizations to extract timely material for a news story. Given that Clinton gave this interview on the same day as a congressional hearing on security at the consulate -- and as criticism over the administration's response gets amplified on the campaign trail -- it clearly had news value. Indeed, the Journal led Tuesday's print edition with the comment.

A Wall Street Journal spokeswoman declined to comment on the paper's newsgathering.

1. Two thoughts ...

First, while HRC appears to be taking one for the team, isn't the organizational head ultimately responsible for what occurs in that organization?

Secondly, I predict that WHEN President Obama is re-elected, HRC will be slotted for the next SCOTUS vacancy.
