I agree that it's good to know what led up to the attack, who attacked us an how it happened so that we can be better prepared in the future, so you'll be happy to know that Hillary Clinton thinks that too. Know how I know that? Because she said that, and you can see that in the same paragraph the "what difference does it make" comment is lifted from.
Although even the whole unedited quote is a bit misleading if you miss the question and answer session that finally led up to it. Clinton focuses her answers on the facts of the attack and all the while Senator Johnson just wants to talk about whether it was said that a video started it. So when she finally explodes with the infamous "what difference does it make" comment she's not saying that why the attack started isn't important but that the priorities of Senator Johnson line of inquiry at that point in time and the investigation were completely misplaced. Read the whole interview and you'll see that clearly.
PolitiFact | In Context: Hillary Clinton's 'What difference does it make' comment
I've watched the long exchange a number of times and my impression is unaltered.
But myself, I've never understood the appeal this woman has that would inspire anyone to put her in charge of much of anything. And, being a Conservative, I conserve knowledge. Hillary has been involved in a number of investigations now. And she is never forthcoming with information. If you or I failed to produce subpoenaed documents that were later "found" in our residence we'd probably go to jail. Not Hillary, oh no.
If you or I told a senate investigating committee 184 times that we "couldn't recall" when asked about our own actions, we'd be lucky to avoid having a legal guardian appointed, instead of being held in contempt and investigated for possible prosecution. But Hillary had the right marital connections.
And of course, somehow Hillary wasn't held to be a major figure when four Americans died in a fiasco created by mindless dismissal of professional security concerns, and the following attempts by the Administration to stonewall legal and journalistic investigations of the debacle.
Why would a sane person not bent of the ruin of the country want to see such a shady character in power?
