Aside from that, the initial problem politically was watching the Obama administration, particularly the State Department with Clinton at its helm, blame the attack on an anti-Muslim video some idiot in LA made and posted to Youtube.  I get the fog and friction of war; I'm a vet too.  What happened in Benghazi was tragic, and probably could have been avoided if our personnel had been a bit smarter in what they were doing and how they were doing it (or of course just not been there at all).  But to try to distract the American people by blaming a Youtube video???  Welcome to the clown show.....

To add... when their coffins came back from Benghazi to the USA, Hillary (standing next to those coffins) lied to the faces of the crying family members.  She told them she would get that terrible video-guy.  And she did ... a while later they jailed him (in a Castro sort of way) on some trumped up charge.  All of this deception and lies was for one obvious purpose ... to get Barack "no terrorist attacks" Obama re-elected ... in exchange for his support for Hillary in 2016.  Meanwhile, Hillary and Bill are selling political access via "donations" to the Clinton Foundation slush fund. And so naturally, Hillary needed a private email server to keep all that hidden, but in the process broke a bunch of federal data security laws. For even more fun, we could go back a few years, and relive Hillary destroying the reputations of the women that were molested/raped by her husband. And there's more, but we probably don't have time to hash out all those related scandals.  Nutshell ... the Clinton family has more baggage than a 747.

Todd,  thank you for your service to our country.

If the Obama administration was investigating Hillary with this much vigor, she would be in jail already.

Terrorists now know that Apple has their back.

With our deliberately-open borders, deliberately-lax visa enforcement, and deliberately-protected sanctuary cities, terrorists also know the US government has their backs.

Isn't it amazing that President Obama's name is not attached to any of this?  Even though it's his administration that Tim Cook is talking about. Somehow President Obama floats above his policies like a cloud ... that has no responsibility or accountability for anything. And just as Tim Cook avoided mentioning Obama's name, it shall also not be mentioned on any of the traditional news sites.

Not amazing at all. The president, any president, has less power that the intel agencies that operate in the background from one administration to the next. Just ask jfk.

The FBI is part of the Obama administration, but my point was mostly about the news media, not the government.  IMO, If this same story had happened eight years ago, the words "Bush" and "Republican" would have been generously sprinkled into every news story. But not now, and that's because most of the news media is run by democrats who are experts at shielding their party from negative PR.
