Showing Original Post only (View all)Benghazi The Fault of Republican Underfunding: Sister of Ambassador Stevens [View all]
http://www.cnn.com/2016/06/29/politics/stevens-family-clinton-benghazi-interview/index.htmlsnip:
The sister of the U.S. ambassador to Libya killed in Benghazi said she doesn't blame Hillary Clinton for Chris Stevens' death, instead pointing to Congress for under-budgeting the State Department.
"I do not blame Hillary Clinton or Leon Panetta (for Stevens' death). They were balancing security efforts at embassies and missions around the world," Dr. Anne Stevens, who has acted as a spokesperson for the family, said in an interview with the New Yorker published Tuesday.

"But what was the underlying cause? Perhaps if Congress had provided a budget to increase security for all missions around the world, then some of the requests for more security in Libya would have been granted. Certainly the State Department is underbudgeted," she added. "I would love to hear they are drastically increasing the budget."
Her comments will probably not be heard on Faux News or anywhere in the Reich Wing noise machine.
