Rubio does not want an independent investigation of the Benghazi attack

I don't know about you, but this does not give me a warm, fuzzy feeling.  TWO MONTHS AND 17 DAYS AND NOTHING IS DONE YET.  They want it all to go away.  And what is there to investigate besides who gave the STAND DOWN order three times?   This administration FAILED in multiple ways.  Period.

 

Senator Marco Rubio was the headliner at a rally for Israel held at a South Florida Jewish Community School this past weekend, where he reiterated his support for America’s closest ally in the Middle East and took a few questions from the media as he exited the event.

Rubio expressed his deep concerns about the lack of security measures that the U.S. government was responsible for at its consulate in Benghazi, Libya which led to the murder of four Americans.

My number one concern about the Benghazi situation is that knowing it was a very dangerous place that was growing even more dangerous, the United States did not supply sufficient security for that consulate in Benghazi, and as a result, four brave Americans lost their lives.  We need to make sure how that happened, so that it never happens again. -Senator Marco Rubio

When asked whether an independent investigation was warranted to get to the bottom of what really happened both in the run up to the attack on the consulate and its aftermath, Rubio asserted that an independent investigation was not necessary.

Rubio, who sits on the Select Committee on Intelligence and is privy to intelligence briefings stated that Congress was more than capable of conducting an investigation into the matter.

I don’t think it has to be independent (investigation) the bottom line is that, the Congress is fully capable, I am on the intelligence committee, I am on the Foreign Relations committee in the Senate, I think that those committees are fully capable of investigating why there was not sufficient security provided to the personnel in Benghazi, and how that could’ve been prevented. - Senator Marco Rubio

RYAN NICHOLS - Hardened Criminal?? Seriously??

If you're not already aware. This is what's going on in DC while dangerous criminals are allowed back out on the streets.  It's horrifying that this is happening to our citizens and veterans for protesting the hijacking of our election process. This is still happening! They are STILL being tortured and treated like full on terrorists. 

You may not be aware of the typical things they're forced to go through...…
