.....which, apparently are that its ok to use State Dept personnel as political fodder for your hypocritical witchhunts. Woody, this link is from HuffPo just to piss you off, but every outlet has the story. Pick the one to defend that you wish, if you dare. This is a disgrace.

Not sure where the disgrace is. As your link points out all the prior Pres. made campaign promises to move the embassy but all reneged. All congress is doing is trying to ensure the Trump carries thru (not that I think HIS hand will have to be forced). As to your source they are apparently trying to actually report on the situation accurately.

ensure by using human lives of embassy employees as bargaining chips? What disgusting lowlife sees that as anything other than sheer hypocrisy, after the Benghazi faux-outrage. Like with deficit spending the true lack of a soul or conscience emerges.

the original proposal was not linked to Embassy security cuts as a poison pill.

Or how Hillary didn't want a marine guard for the Benghazi embassy?

as executive of the department, yes, it was her call how to allocate the budgeted security. That was made a more difficult call by limiting funds. So, dropping them by another 50% serves our State Dept employees how? Why are you still focused on Ms. Clinton, who hasn't been Secretary of State for 4 years? I am talking about the sitting Senate. I smell the exact sort of duplicitous hypocrisy that we see from the cowards of the GOP Congress. If she was guilty of treason for a dubious judgement call around security, how high should we hang people who KNOWINGLY cut the funds to protect the entire diplomatic corps worldwide? Twice.

Where have the funds been cut? The funds as I read your link, indicate cutting only if Trump does not move the Embassy. Shall we wait and see how this plays out before you further have to do a intricate back pedal job?

exactly. They are holding funds hostage to a potentially dangerous relocation which the Israelis themselves really aren't too enthused over. Disgraceful, and if Clinton was criminal as Sec of State, this is straight out treason.
