But...I believe the Niger episode potentially did involve mishandling of the situation that put soldiers in danger, and the public should be aware of these, and the administration needs to take responsibility for these mistakes and learn from them and promise they will do better in the future to avoid a similar tragedy.

Essentially, how Hillary responded to Benghazi.

If the Rs can take the Benghazi investigations to such an outrageous extreme, Niger at least deserves valid attention.
