Rand Paul: The moment of responsibility for Hillary Clinton

Rand Paul: Hillary should never hold high office again. 'Evidence we had about Benghazi in January was enough' she 'should've been relieved of her post'

The Washington Times  [Les] "Aspin resigned over Black Hawk Down. The same precedent should have applied apply to Mrs. Clinton. To date, no one has ultimately taken responsibility for Benghazi.
My office is currently seeking out the witnesses and survivors of Benghazi to testify before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. To date, the Obama administration has refused to let them testify.
Too many questions remain unanswered. Now, there are too many new questions. The evidence we had in January already suggested that Mrs. Clinton ignored repeated requests for more security in Benghazi. The new evidence we have today — and that continues to mount — suggests that at the very least, Mrs. Clinton should never hold high office again."



 

Benghazi: A Smoking Gun

 
Benghazi: A Smoking Gun  "For going on eight months now, we’ve pointed to one of our own posts as evidence that the Obama administration never should have believed that a YouTube movie had anything to do with the terrorist attack in Benghazi. That post, by Ray Ibrahim, pointed to a report in the Egyptian media published on September 10, 2012, that demonstrators would be converging on the US embassy in Cairo not to protest a movie, but to apply pressure and demand the release of Islamist terrorists who have been tried in American courts and/or are held in American prisons. Chief among them is Sheik Omar Abdul Rahman, mastermind of the 1993 attack on the World Trade Center. Rahman is currently in federal prison in North Carolina, for his role in that first terrorist attack on the World Trade Center in New York.
 
"The September 10 post, republished in its entirety here, was a warning regarding riots that would take place the following day in Cairo, Egypt."....

Friday-Free- For All: Fox Hosts Slam MSM Media Hacks For Helping Regime Cover Up Benghazi Scandal

Nice Deb, quoting Mediaite:
One day after accusing the media of acting as President Obama’s “scandal condom” on the Benghazi story, The Five’s Greg Gutfeld was at it again, this time calling MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow and Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert “media hacks” for their highly critical commentary on Fox News’ coverage.
“People died, but what difference does it make?” Gutfeld said sarcastically, echoing Hillary Clinton’s infamous Benghazi hearing question. “The story will probably die, like the four in Benghazi with the lapdog media standing down, making these so-called journalists co-conspirators in the Benghazi cover-up, and that’s comedy when you’re winning.” He summed up the position of Maddow, Stewart and Colbert like this: “They refuse to actually cover the story. Instead, they want to cover people who care about the story, because then that kind of absolves them from having to deal with the ugliness.”
"Bob Beckel got under Perino’s skin for comparing the nine hearings on Benghazi under Obama to the one hearing under President George W. Bush after 54 diplomatic missions were attacked and nine Americans died. “Are you kidding me?” Perino shot back at Beckel, saying the difference in this case is the “cover-up” that is yet to be proven. “What kind of comparison is that?!” Unlike Bush, Perino said, the Obama administration is trying to “sweep” this scandal “under the rug” and “pretends like their you know what doesn’t stink. That really pisses me off.”" 

 
Charles Krauthammer called State Department spokesman Patrick Ventrell’s response to the Benghazi Hearing “pathetic.” Ventrell told reporters earlier today, ”We don’t believe that new information was necessarily presented that hadn’t been already either entered into the public record through congressional testimony or investigated by the ARB or otherwise looked at.”

Mother left with SEVEN-INCH forceps inside her body for three months in shocking toll of 750 NHS blunders

UK Daily Mail
  • Donna Bowett, 42, had instrument left inside her after keyhole surgery
  • Nurse has been forced to change jobs and received six-figure payout
  • More than 750 have suffered in a similar way since 2009, FOI reveals
  • Botched care included 214 people who had wrong organ operated on
  • And NHS staff have left 332 medical tools inside patients
  • "During the past four years there have been 762 so-called ‘never events’ at NHS hospitals – blunders deemed so serious they should never happen.
    They include 322 cases of medical instruments being left in the body and 214 operations on the wrong limb or organ. In another 73 incidents, feeding tubes or medication lines were fed into the lungs instead of the stomach and in 58 cases patients were fitted with the wrong implant or prosthetic limb.
    ....
    "He also argued that hospitals have no incentive to report never events because they may have to reimburse the cost of the procedure to the NHS as well as paying for the patients’ long-term care.
    "He added: ‘The figures really are the tip of the iceberg.’"
