No moving on without answers

Regarding the letter, “Learn lessons, then move on”: Compare Benghazi and Hillary Clinton to George Bush and 9/11? Where is the comparison? The press jumped all over Bush for taking seven minutes to react to 9/11 because he was reading to grade school kids and didn’t want to panic people. Benghazi was almost two years ago and still no answers. Where was Obama the night of the Benghazi attack? For that matter, where was Hillary Clinton, our Secretary of State that night? Remember that 3 o’clock call in the middle of the night she talked about when running against Obama in the primaries? Appears that neither one answered the phone that night and four people died. Where was she the day of all those morning talk shows, where Susan Rice took all the abuse for a made-up story? Don’t you want to know the truth? Do you really want Hillary Clinton in the White House again, along with her letch husband picking on interns? Wake up, I don’t want another Clinton in the White House anymore than another Bush. What happened to all the transparency Obama talked about when he was running?
