"We know what happened in Benghazi now... but what we don't know is why we were misled."

Ron Johnson, questioning John Kerry. I'm breaking out what I think is the main quote. Look how differently this exchange is presented at TPM.

This was the same disconnect that Hillary Clinton tried to pull off when Ron Johnson questioned her the other day and she had her "What difference does it make?" outburst. She wanted us to focus on the point in time when the attackers decided to attack.

"Was it because of a protest or because of guys out for a walk one night who decide to kill some Americans, what difference at this point does it make?"

It. She has the wrong it. Johnson's question to her and then to Kerry related to the point in time when the people in the Obama administration decided to mislead the public by actively pushing a phony story about the "Innocence of Muslims" video. That was a strange thing to do, and both Clinton and Kerry have doggedly distracted us by pretending the question is why the attack occurred.

2007 troop surge in Iraq?... What difference, at this point, does it make?

Yellowcake uranium in Niger?... What difference, at this point, does it make?

Asking for a Florida recount in only select counties instead of statewide?...What difference, at this point, does it make?



Claiming weapons of mass destruction as a reason for using military force?... What difference, at this point, does it make?

Having sexual relations with that woman?... What difference, at this point, does it make?

Trading arms for hostages?... What difference, at this point, does it make?

Allowing the Shah of Iran into the United States to undergo surgical treatment at the New York–Weill Cornell Medical Hospital?... What difference, at this point, does it make?

Covering up a third-rate burglary?... What difference, at this point, does it make?

Lying to Congress and the American people about an incident in the Gulf of Tonkin in order to escalate military involvement in Vietnam?... What difference, at this point, does it make?

Ordering an invasion of the Bay of Pigs?... What difference, at this point, does it make?

Bombardment of Fort Sumter?... What difference, at this point, does it make?

Allowing slavery to continue in the Louisiana Territory ?... What difference, at this point, does it make?

Destruction of tea belonging to the East India Company?... What difference, at this point, does it make?
