Q So it just -- I'm sorry to -- just, it is important, I think to us. At 10:08, or 10:00 o'clock whatever this p.m. on the 11th when this came out, the only specific information that you all had evidence that some had thought to justify the attack on specifically Benghazi being in response to the Prophet movie that we discussed, there was no specific information about that?
...
Mr. Chuang. Are you asking whether she has information that people knew the motivation, the actual motivations of the attackers, or whether she had information that there were people out there who were justifying this, or defending the behavior because of the movie?
Mr.Beattie. That's a fair question. I guess may be just to talk it out, I think from my perspective, if I were -- if I were clearing on a statement where the Secretary of State was saying that some have sought to justify the attack in Benghazi in response to the Mohammed video, I mean, me personally, I would think that it might have some specific information to justify that, and if you didn't, then it would seem to be an assumption.
Mr. Chuang. What I was asking is, you know, if you are asking whether there is information indicating that the actual attackers were motivated by this movie, that is one thing. And obviously, no one had talked to them, to the attackers at that point.
Mr. Beattie. Sure.
Mr. Chuang. But if you are asking whether there people out in social media universe or otherwise who had sought to justify this behavior by saying it was okay because, you know, it was a good thing to have happened because of the movie, that's a different set of information.

Excellent thread!
Even if you are a person that feels that there was no wrong doing by the FBI or the previous administration, surely you can admit that having all of these cases being handled by the same 3 or 4 people lacks a form of checks and balances that could ensure no corruption could take place.
Your funny, but I like you!
Thanks!
In addition to funny, you forgot intelligent, wise, and handsome.

Horowitz and Sessions are working together behind the scenes. Their time will come.
9:40 p.m.: Unidentified gunmen launch an assault on the U.S. diplomatic compound in the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi, quickly overwhelming the U.S. and Libyan forces who were providing security. Inside the compound, security forces are separated from U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens. U.S. personnel who retreat to another building come under siege for two hours before a CIA security team and some Libyan security forces repel the attackers.

Because of attacks on our embassy in Cairo and our office in Benghazi so email when you can talk.
In the run-up to the 2008 presidential election, The New York Times reported that Sunstein was one of the few friends Barack Obama made when both were teaching at the University of Chicago Law School in the 1990s: the friendship elevated Sunstein’s profile when Obama became president. His status as a policy luminary was confirmed by his marriage to Samantha Power, J.D. ’99, who is as close to being a real celebrity (read a profile of Power in the New Yorker) as a policy wonk can be.

I'd be hard pressed to believe Chelsea would have any reason to have a security clearance of any kind...
