Benghazi still makes a great deal of difference at this time
Jake Tapper, formerly of ABC and now bringing hope to CNN at "The Lead" tweets about the scandal of Benghazi. Yes, former FLOTUS, former Senator from New York state (D), wannabe first white female president (D), Hillary Rodham--and now--Clinton, at this stage it makes a great deal of difference. Yes, current POTUS, Barack Hussein Obama (D), it is a real scandal, a horrible one, a tragic one.
CIA operatives were on the ground at the time; survivors are being told in no uncertain terms to shut up and shades of the Mafia, are supposedly being given new identities. Who knows what else.

ICYMI: Exclusive: Dozens of CIA operatives on the ground during Benghazi attack
Sources now tell CNN dozens of people working for the CIA were on the ground that night, and that the agency is going to great lengths to make sure whatever it was doing, remains a secret.
CNN has learned the CIA is involved in what one source calls an unprecedented attempt to keep the spy agency's Benghazi secrets from ever leaking out.
Since January, some CIA operatives involved in the agency's missions in Libya, have been subjected to frequent, even monthly polygraph examinations, according to a source with deep inside knowledge of the agency's workings.

Among the many secrets still yet to be told about the Benghazi mission, is just how many Americans were there the night of the attack.
A source now tells CNN that number was 35, with as many as seven wounded, some seriously.
While it is still not known how many of them were CIA, a source tells CNN that 21 Americans were working in the building known as the annex, believed to be run by the agency.

It is clear that two U.S. agencies were operating in Benghazi, one was the State Department, and the other was the CIA.
Ah yes, "the most transparent administration ever."
Agreed: by definition most missions of the CIA and the State Department must not be transparent, not advertised. Lying and trickery are part of an effective job.
Insulting the families of survivors, dismissing their memories is not.
