This is the admission from Hillary Clinton to Rep. Martha Roby in her testimony to the House Select Committee on Benghazi October 22, 2015. Amid her expert dancing around substantive answers, what emerged was culpability in the lack of action to either secure or extract the embassy team from Benghazi. Revealed facts include the 600 requests for additional security in less than a year, beginning with the previous ambassador, Gene Cretz, who was afterward posted to Ghana. The newly confirmed ambassador to Libya, Chris Stevens, had more than 20 urgent requests included in that total (83 from May to September) and, although Secretary of State Clinton acknowledged that she "knew exactly" what was transpiring in Benghazi, she did not allocate resources to the embassage protection. Instead, Clinton delegated the whole issue to "security professionals," evidently in order to wipe her hands of the situation. Plausible deniability is the accepted term among the political class avoiding responsibility.
