It's been well established that Clinton knew that this narrative of what happened was completely false when she announced it to the public.
This is standard leadership in America. I think it's unfair to skewer her in a biased way when most public diplomacy is just as duplicitous.
For example, the misinformation out of the Bush Administation linking in the American publics' minds Saddam Hussein with the 9/11 attacks. Republicans largly supported this falsehood and the Bush Administrations executive privilege to tell it.
It was well known that the attacks (between 9/11 and 9/12 in Benghazi) where extremist salafi. The protest over the videos were in a completely different country. The intelligence community and the leadership knew this.
I don't want to comment on the next paragraph as I don't understand it or how it is supposed to relate to the topic.
