@bn13814Do rules matter?

@leslie110 :Not if your last name is Clinton.

@meanjarheadOr Trump, apparently.

@leslie110 :"What difference – at this point, what difference does it make?"

@bn13814Apparently none. But I will add the full quote for you. Clinton: With all due respect, the fact is we had four dead Americans. Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk one night who decided that they’d they go kill some Americans? What difference at this point does it make? It is our job to figure out what happened and do everything we can to prevent it from ever happening again, Senator. Now, honestly, I will do my best to answer your questions about this, but the fact is that people were trying in real time to get to the best information. The IC has a process, I understand, going with the other committees to explain how these talking points came out. But you know, to be clear, it is, from my perspective, less important today looking backwards as to why these militants decided they did it than to find them and bring them to justice, and then maybe we’ll figure out what was going on in the meantime.Johnson: OK. Thank you, Madame Secretary.www.politifact.com/t ruth-o-meter/article /2013/may/08/context -hillary-clinto

Thank you, Leslie.I see people all the time post "what difference does it make?" and either they are too uniformed to know it does not represent the message on single bit (so, only watching Fox and listening to Rush??) or they don't care and just want to be deceptive.

You liberals are incredibly thick. Hillary displayed stunning incompetence prior to the Benghazi attack, deception in the immediate aftermath ("it was a video") and has lied about it ever since. Thanks to her Senate testimonies and the FBI investigation we know for a fact she's lied about classified emails being on her private server. Plagiarism charges can be iffy. If Michelle Obama wants to sue somebody for copying her speech (in part), then she needs to obtain a court trial or demand a settlement. But then Elizabeth Dole might have the same case against Michelle Obama. If a Trump Organization employee violated campaign finance law, then she should be fined. What Hillary did is a imprisonable offense. The others are minor.

bn, and has *nothing* to do with the words "what difference does it make". That phrase, by itself, is NOT the message, not even remotely. a) uninformed or b) deceptive.Keep to the real stuff. Trumping stuff up is foolish.

@AverageJoe :Um, yeah, okay...sure.

doesn't.... so which is it? a or b?Stick to the real gripe, and not make **** up. There's plenty of ****, so why invent more? It weakens the real message.

@AverageJoe :If it doesn't make a difference, then why lie about it?

*sigh* Weakening the position.... People see through that particular lie and wonder what other lies the Right are saying, so it weakens your position.Such is your right to do. I prefer to keep her toes to the fire for what actually was done/said, and not continue with "what difference does it make". the message was FAR, FAR from that. But, continue with the snippet-lie. Forget about the big lies, stick to the false one....

Its much easier to say - a video - than it is to explain 1,300 years of world history....in the meantime until the entire world surrenders to being Islamic, there will be these attacks.

@AverageJoe :That's thick. Hillary was angry when she said it. People died under her watch. That is why this hurts her. Obviously, having a year to spin wasn't enough to avoid such a gaffe.

Lots of people have died under lots of secretary of states watches, yet I don't recall previous secretaries being grilled by congress over them?
