A hallmark of the inside-the-beltway, cronyism style of government is the protection and promotion of incompetent political hacks within its own ranks. An independent review board reported that the murders at Benghazi on September 11, 2012 were the result of “systemic failures and leadership and management deficiencies” at the State Department. But of course, “…the Board did not find that any individual U.S. Government employee engaged in misconduct or willfully ignored his or her responsibilities.” The fix was in even before the State Department announced the very next day that Secretary Clinton had accepted the resignation of Assistant Secretary of State Eric Boswell.
New York Post
The Post’s Josh Margolin reported this week that four State Department officials involved in the Benghazi affair were never removed from their positions, are still on the payroll, and will resume their jobs in the near future. They were never held accountable for contributing to the murder of four Americans at the hands of al Qaeda-sponsored terrorists. In fact, even Assistant Secretary of State Boswell didn’t really resign. His title was simply changed, and he moved to new desk. Deputy Assistant Secretaries Charlene Lamb and Raymond Maxwell will stay at their position as well. Despite gross incompetence, they will not be held accountable for a thing.
The Independent review board led by retired Ambassador Thomas Pickering had to know in advance that no one in the State Department would be held accountable. These are D.C. insiders protecting their own.
Where’s Hillary?
Secretary Clinton’s self-diagnosed concussion was, of course, an excuse to dodge the December 20 congressional hearing on Benghazi. And she has stayed on the lam ever since. Despite noise from Senate Republicans about holding up the confirmation of Secretary of State nominee Sen. John “Lurch” Kerry until the retiring Hillary has testified, nothing will happen. Hillary will not be held accountable, and she will still be adored by hordes of low information voters.
Conclusion
Working for the Federal Government is better than being “made” in the mob! After all, in the State Department, you never have to worry about the Feds sending you to prison. In fact, just lay low until the heat is off; and you will still have your job, money, and a high-tone cocktail party waiting for you. It isn’t gundam style; it’s beltway style. Capiche?

The “FIX” was in for the “election” too. Just have one observation . Did anyone else think that Romney was relieved NOT to have been elected ? Why ? Was some of his family members threatened ? (by anyone other than black radicals, of course, because THEY had their own threatening blogs). It had to be more than “Oh well, I really didn’t want to be President anyway”. I know we’ll find out on Judgement day, But I am just an impatient person.
Retired Admiral Mullen’s comments to the effect that there was insufficient time for a “proper military response” is a blatant lie. If he were thinking in terms of a D-Day invasion, there wasn’t enough time, but for a smaller scale rapid response, GEN Carter Ham had sufficient resources available and could have been on site in less than 3 hrs from the time the attack began. Obama relieves him of his command for speaking out on the Behghazi fiasco. Barry has covered his ass at another respected person’s expense again.
Birds of a feather create their own unique nest. Those in Washington, DC will be evicted by 300 million game wardens…Semper Fi
Hillary had the Immaculate Concussion to avoid testifying before the Congressional investigation about Benghazi. Now she has a brain bleed because of the concussion. Doesn’t she know that with the New Obamacare, that anyone over 70 cannot be treated, they only get comfort care, you know the kind, they give you morphine until you die, so you will not be uncomfortable. So is she going to die, so she does not have to testify? That Obozo, the First Kenyan, Indonesian, Muslim, Communist, Homosexual, Gun Smuggling to Drug Cartels in Mexico and Al Qaeda in Libya and Syria and that SSR forger and that SSN Identity Thief and that Birth Certificate Forger and that Son of Satan President of the United States, What is his name again, oh, yes, his real name is Barry Soetoro, the Usurper in Chief. I could list so many more EVILS THAT THE EVIL ONE HAD DONE, BUT THE SATANS IN POWER LOVE SATAN SO.
Also, patriots should re-post this about the NOT Massacre in San Antonio.
The Main Stream Commie Propaganda Ministry Media will not carry this story, you can re-post instead.
There was a Massacre (NOT) Because of a good guy with a gun stopping a bad guy with a gun in San Antonio 2 days after the CT massacre, check it out. A murderer killed someone in a restaurant and ran into a theater next door and started shooting, but a cop, a woman off duty pulled her gun and shot him 4 times in the Chest before he could hurt anyone…. Why is the Main Stream Goebbels Propaganda Ministry Media absolutely mum on this? Because they are the Obama’s Propaganda Ministry Media, and Old Joe Goebbels would be proud of this new Hitler in Chief.
