Bob Woodward Doesn't Buy Hilldebeast Benghazi Denial
2014-06-03
[Daily Caller] Washington Post writer Bob Woodward said Sunday that he doesn't believe Hillary Clinton when she says the Benghazi investigation is all about politics, claiming there are still "serious, unanswered questions about this."

Woodward spoke on a "Fox News Sunday" panel about a leaked chapter from former Secretary of State Clinton's new book, "Hard Choices," which addresses the September 11, 2012 attacks on State Department personnel in Benghazi, Libya.

While many assert that Clinton and the broader Obama administration were involved in a political cover-up of the attack's details, the book declares that everything there is to know about Benghazi and the administration response has already been revealed, with Republicans merely playing politics by continuing to investigate.

But the well-known scandal hound disagreed with that interpretation. "The issue is, is there new information out there?" Woodward explained. "And one of the questions I have -- and I think there are serious, unanswered questions about this -- did she keep a diary?"

"When I talked to President Obama, he confirmed that he keeps a diary," he continued. "I asked for some of it for some of the work I was doing and he said, 'No, it wouldn't be relevant.' But are there diaries?"

"Remember, go back to the 1980s and Iran-Contra," Woodward noted. "Ronald Reagan kept a very detailed diary, and he finally turned it over."
Of course there are diaries or duty logs. They're kept, for no other reason, out of historical reference and legal necessity. Anyone who writes two books about himself before he turns 45 years of age is keeping notes, believe me.

#6  I think Hilly will be unpleasantly surprised to find that the 'see no evil' approach the press has to the Big 'O' won't transfer over. (At least I hope...)

#5  Oh the great Bob Woodward still living off his early 70's success.

Bob has access to the democrat backdoor and behind the scene insights but we won't hear the truth until it is safe. I am sure he will be running around Cable TV well after the election with all the nitty gritty details.

#4  Hard Decisions sounds like a joke title for Bill Clinton's book.

#3  "Hard Decisions"-
The title and format is Bush's fault, of course:
"Decision Points"

#2   What the hell hard decisions had she ever made. For that matter, what has she ever done?

Well, she's really good at screwing up other people's lives. Other than that...

#1  That is a safe opinion for Woodward--you'd have to be a total idiot to buy anything she says. Hillary's got a new book "Hard Decisions." What the hell hard decisions had she ever made. For that matter, what has she ever done?
