QuoteNBC News: Hillary Clinton 'Covered Up' Pedophile Ring At State Department (2013)

NBC news from 2013 with Chuck Todd, Matt Lauer

It's claimed that ....

Any time a claim starts in passive voice, just stop reading.

It's said that you shouldn't do that.

Except all too often, especially in reporting, "It's claimed...", or "It is said..." is really just a mask for "I want to say/claim..." to avoid outing themselves as an accuser.  :P

QuoteTribute to Benghazi Heroes, we will never forget your murders

A tribute to our murdered American Heroes who were left to die at Benghazi. May their memories be eternal!

They are welcome to investigate and prosecute whomever they feel is responsible if they have some evidence.

I grow weary of these accusations that never are attached to any action. It makes me suspicious that they are being entirely honest about their concerns.

Didn't they have like half a dozen hearings/investigations into Benghazi that didn't come up with anything?

They didn't come up with anything implicating Secretary Clinton.
On the other hand, the fact that House Republicans gutted funding for embassy security was pretty well established.

One consistent thing in all the nuttery far-right internet posts regardless of language (well, it's both in English and Hungarian at least) is their completely inability to make a post without any grammatical errors. It just does not happen.

The "enemy" is "defecting". So chill right wing nutcases. The same thing impacting your churches is also impacting their mosques.
