Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was more worried about public relations than saving those caught in the 2012 terrorism attack on the diplomatic outpost in Benghazi, Libya, Judge Andrew Napolitano said Wednesday, and he wonders "who in the intelligence community would want to work for her" should she become president.
"There's two dynamics here," the Fox News senior judicial analyst told the
"Fox & Friends" program, while commenting on the report issued from the House Select Committee on Benghazi Tuesday.
"The one that's obvious from the report is that Mrs. Clinton knew the truth and lied about it, told the truth to her daughter, told the truth to the Egyptian foreign minister, lied to the public, lied to the families of the victims as their bodies were being removed in flag draped caskets."
Further, Napolitano commented that the report revealed that the CIA warned Clinton about
distributing arms to rebel groups "because many of those groups were masquerading as rebels [when] they were really terrorists."
"How could this woman be the commander-in-chief?" he told the program. "How could she be the president? Who in the intelligence community would want to work for her after this botched disaster of the war in Libya?
After the report was released, Clinton commented that
"it's time to move on" and that "no one has thought more about or lost more sleep over the lives that we lost, the four Americans, which was devastating."
That points out that the Democrats have an "ardent wish" that the Benghazi controversy will go away, said Napolitano, but "it is not going to go away."
