BENGHAZI WAS THE FAULT OF REPUBLICANS, NOT HILLARY.

As explained and admitted to by Republicans.

FOX NEWS MAN: There’s a report that’s floating out there that says that your attorney, General Dana Chipman, said from the beginning that nothing could be done to save the four Americans in Benghazi in September of 2012. Is that true?

REPUBLICAN TREY GOWDY: Uh? No, sir, Dana Chipman is an honorable good man, he served this country with great distinction, and he served our committee with great distinction. That was a transcript of one question he asked Leon Panetta and Jeremy Bash. When you see the full transcript, AND YOU WILL, then you will see what Dana was talkin’ about was a very small point. The posture of the troops, the order that was given by Panetta and the president, how that order was received. All of that is what we wanna ask people about. Whether or not they could’ve gotten there in time, I don’t think there’s any issue with respect to that. They couldn’t. The next question is why could you not? Why were you not positioned to do it?

Watch the interview from the Fox "News" here:

Why not? Here's why not:

Representative Jason Chaffetz, Republican from Utah, was asked by host Soledad O'Brien if he had voted to cut funding for embassy security in the past during an interview on CNN's "Starting Point."

"Absolutely. Look we have to make priorities and choices in this country," said Chaffetz. "We have ... 15,0000 contractors in Iraq. We have more than 6,000 contractors, a private army, there, for President Obama, in Baghdad. And we’re talking about, can we get two dozen or so people into Libya to help protect our forces? When you’re in tough economic times, you have to make difficult choices. You have to prioritize things."

Chaffetz, the chairman of the House Oversight subcommittee on National Security, Homeland Defense and Foreign Operations, said the tragedy in Libya resulted from the Republicans failure to "prioritize" security for the consulate.

"What clearly didn’t happen is Libya was not a priority..."

Republicans, not Hillary Clinton, are responsible for what happened in Benghazi and they admitted it out loud when they thought no one was listening.
