Sen. Lindsey Graham said Sunday the Obama administration is still hiding information about the 2012 attacks on a U.S. diplomatic post in Benghazi, Libya, and even lying to the American people.
An email written by top White House national security aide Ben Rhodes asked U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice to emphasize on the Sunday shows that the attacks killing four Americans stemmed from a spontaneous demonstration and not terrorism. Rhodes advised to “underscore that these protests are rooted in an Internet video and not a broader failure of policy.”
The email sparked a new GOP-led panel investigation into the attacks. And House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) has subpoenaed Secretary of State John Kerry to testify.

This guy is like a penny that wont go into the piggy back for sake of a violent revulsion at being classified as “just another coin”. Leave it to Lindsey Graham to run the gauntlet of mixed freedom for catastrophe unheard. The worry of Benghazi is not who is to blame but rather what the world can receive on higher affinity.
A bad mood is not a national priority. This guy and this topic is snot for the ages. How utterly disgusting.
More people died from Mr. Grahams social negligence than the result of any poor response of the Secretary of State in an era of unpredictable vulnerable.
Is he an American or just a transistor radio? Hard to tell.
Terrible. Never Again.
