Wow, we should all feel safer already, don't-cha-know...breathe that collective progressive sight of relief, now that we have a real expert on the job, someone with impeccable credentials and the trust of everyone in the country. Not someone who would peddle a bogus story about some video as the cause of a terrorist attack on an embassy....
Oh, wait....
This also puts her in the White House, directly reporting to the President, and well under the umbrella of executive privilege afforded any president and his advisors, out of reach of those nasty senators and congressmen who might want to ask questions of her under oath....
And...she needs no Senate confirmation to serve in the post!
Sweeeeet!
This scandal will not go away, and the unanswered questions just keep stacking up. Someone, somewhere in the White House is already talking with his/her lawyer about how to cover his/her backside while he/she tells the unvarnished truth, with the requisite documents (those that haven't been shredded yet) to corroborate the testimony. It's the way the world works. Someone decides they he/she has no taste for prison, or that last flicker on conscience begins to burn, and away we go...
It is only a matter of time...

Susan Rice Learns The True Cost Of Loyalty To The Winner Of The Nobel Peace Prize
Liberals become enraged when reminded that words have meaning, and that words
spoken by government officials about serious matters really do have
consequences.
OS has been amused to hear the name-calling at Outside The Beltway to just such assertions.
Susan Rice will never be Secretary of State. That's because she deliberately spread misinformation about the attacks on Benghazi on September 11, 2012. Not just one time, off-hand, but on five different networks, repeating the same disinformation--that the attacks were 'demonstrations' about a YouTube video that simply got out of hand.
That story was coming apart at the seams even as she was attempting to sell it. She never refuted it, never returned to any of those networks to withdraw it. It was a case of loyalty trumping integrity, and she is shocked to find that the Senate wants a Secretary of State who is in the habit of telling the truth.
The Obama White House knew from the get-go that there never was a demonstration.
They knew it was al-Qaeda.
Obama was too busy fund-raising to bother to rescue those poor people.
She says she was handed an intelligence briefing, one which the CIA later disavowed. Apparently, she didn't bother to ask questions before being sent out to take one for the team.
So, either she knew it was a lie (likely), or was just too lazy to ask questions (possible). In any case, she was completely willing to go out and try to sell the implausible story that a disorganized mob armed itself with mortars and instantly learned how to use them in a coordinated attack viewed real time by the White House situation room.
It all fell apart, rapidly. She never went back to correct the record, and salvage her credibility.
Obama won his election, but just like Nixon, the odor of a major scandal lingers in the air.
And in dangerous times like these, the last thing this country needs is a replay of that soap opera.
