Hillary Clinton on Benghazi and her infamous email scandal...




On Friday October 16, 2015 Jeremy Diamond published an article for CNN called “Hillary Clinton dismisses Benghazi ‘conspiracy theories’ ”. Hillary Clinton has been under fire recently about her role in the Benghazi attack. However Clinton has shut down the rumors that there was a “conspiracy theory” about the attack. Diamond gives us some insight about how Clinton addressed everything that has been going on lately on the show “The Lead with Jake Tapper” on CNN. She talked about a wide range of topics from the democratic debate, her top rival Bernie Sanders, her republican rival Donald Trump, and whether Vice President Joe Biden joining the democratic race.
                Hilary Clinton also talked about the Benghazi scandal and quoted that “I think it’s pretty clear that whatever they might’ve thought they were doing, they ended up becoming a partisan arm of the Republican National committee with an overwhelming focus on trying to –as they admitted – drive down my poll numbers”.  This is definitely a bold statement coming from Hilary Clinton and she is shutting down ay Benghazi rumors still floating around. At the end of the interview Jake Tapper brings up the infamous email scandal which quite frankly is getting old. She again states that nothing she sent was marked classified.
                Also Diamond informs us on Hilary Clinton’s thoughts towards her republican rival Donald Trump and a possible running of Vice President Joe Biden. All Hilary Clinton really had to say about Donald Trump is that he continues to go beyond the bounds of what should and shouldn’t be said about other opponents. Trump in her eyes doesn’t say things that are appropriate. Now onto what she had to say about Joe Biden possibly running. To sum it up she didn’t say much except he needs to decide whether or not he is going to run because he does need to think about timing.
                The author of the article Jeremy Diamond who started out at GW Hatchet which was an independent student newspaper of the George Washington University. He actually had a national news story there after he discovered that the university officials misrepresented the schools financial aid policy. He won the Institute on Political Journalism Collegiate Journalism Award and a Pinnacle Award from the College Media Association. He definitely has the credentials to be a reporter and has many accomplishments to back up his work.
