Our buddy, Rowan Scarborough at the Washington Times<\/a> writes that as the Benghazi story is being written, Hillary Clinton’s name gets harder to find.<\/p>\n

Mrs. Clinton testified that she was never informed about how susceptible the Benghazi diplomatic mission was to attack or about requests for more security officers. On the infamous Benghazi talking points, that process was carried out below her level, she said.<\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

P.J. Crowley, who was Mrs. Clinton\u2019s top spokesman at State in her first year, said Republicans have tried to nail her but there simply is no evidence.<\/p>\n

\u201cBenghazi happened on her watch, so she will always have a connection to the attack,\u201d Mr. Crowley said. \u201cThere have been some efforts to make it about her, which I suspect will continue despite the lack of evidence.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lawyer Victoria Toensing has another view. She said members of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence displayed incompetence while questioning Mr. Morell.<\/p>\n

\u201cNobody from the House committee asked about her,\u201d said Mrs. Toensing, who represents Gregory Hicks, the chief of mission in Tripoli that day who was among the first to blow the whistle on lax security in Benghazi and a lack of help from Washington during the crisis. \u201cWas that hearing somewhat incompetent? Yes.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Gee, I wonder why. As you read the rest of the article, you’ll get a sense of the tension between Washington and Benghazi. You might remember that the Pentagon was hesitant to send troops into Benghazi without knowing the situation on the ground, and yet the folks in Tripoli got forces that they had available into Benghazi without knowing the situation on the ground and those scant elements got to the consulate compound.<\/p>\n
