Petraesus apologizes then.....
 
"Retired Army Gen. David Petraeus’s return to the public spotlight Tuesday began with an apology on Capitol Hill for the mistakes that led to his resignation as CIA director and ended with a blistering attack on the Obama administration’s strategy in the Middle East."

meantime speaking of security matters, what is up with the FBI and State Department BOTH stonewalling congress.

"About a month ago, Sullivan asked the State Department to reach out to the FBI for assistance in addressing a Freedom of Information Act request by the conservative group Judicial Watch regarding Clinton aide Huma Abedin's employment arrangements. The judge also asked State to report on arrangements for the FBI to share information about the ongoing investigation.
In a terse letter Monday, FBI General Counsel James Baker appeared to reject the request .

"At this time, consistent with long-standing Department of Justice and FBI policy, we can neither confirm nor deny the existence of any ongoing investigation, nor are we in a position to provide additional information at this time," Baker wrote to senior State Department attorney Mary McLeod.
DOJ confirmed in July that it received a referral from the Intelligence Community inspector general regarding possible compromise of classified information in Clinton's email account. The agency initially said the referral was criminal, but later said it was not and that it was sent under a counterintelligence law regarding possible breaches involving national security secrets.

Whenever they use the line "we can neither confirm or deny" it usually means CONFIRM. We used it all the time, and we used "NO" if we could honestly say no to a question. If it is a "yes" but we weren't allowed to say so, it was "neither confirm nor deny."

That is how I read it.

This is another example of a blatant use of power to protect the abusers of power in this Administration.

Fast and Furious, IRS, AP, Benghazi and god only knows how many unknowns will be uncovered once this Administration leaves

She doesn't feel like she did anything to apologize for. The arrogant never do anything wrong. And the blind will defiantly follow her from "behind" defending and justifying her every action.
