[QUOTE="Old Man Jingles, post: 3987879, member: 18222"] Actually it did when she was being questioned by Senators during a Senate committee hearing in January 2013. "Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk one night and decided they’d go kill some Americans," Clinton said. "What difference – at this point, what difference does it make?"
