some getbiggers (not you, older ones) were claiming hilary did a 'stand down' order.
in my opinion, there may have been one - but it'd have to come from obama, not hilary. troops were an hour away, and they bravely fought for 7 hours... you can't tell me they didn't stand down.
BUT gowdy, issa, and the inneffective republicans were unable to prove shit. So, like other president before, when widely suspected of letting shit happen for whatever reason, they get away with it.
The new repub anger of "why didn't you tell us instantly what bad guys did what" is laughable because they were all about secrecy during Bush era, and suddenly it angers them. IMO, they're mad because they couldn't prove anything here, and hilary comes out of this looking better than before, how in the F, I don't know.
Gowdy may as well be on clinton's payroll - he's 45 and looked flustered, sweaty and exhausted after badgering hilary for 11 hours. SHE is 70, and looked composed and was taking victory laps afterwards.
