While you're at it, why don't you just blather on and tell us we need to look into Vince Foster, too?
Does anyone know what the fuck that spittle flecked loon is yammering about?

(24,096 posts)In other whistle-blowing news, a 26-year veteran of the State Department, who worked as an inspector general investigator, claims that probes into unseemly cases involving security forces paying for sex and drugs on the job "were influenced, manipulated, or simply called off" under Hillary Clinton, CBS reports. Aurelia Fedenisn is calling it a cover-up and has a memo detailing the investigations, which she says included "several allegations of criminal wrongdoing in cases, some of which never became cases." In one particularly ugly instance, the U.S. ambassador to Belgium, allegedly, "routinely ditched his protective security detail in order to solicit sexual favors from both prostitutes and minor children," but the investigation was ended, and he remains in place.
There's much more:
The memo obtained by CBS News cited eight specific examples. Among them: allegations that a State Department security official in Beirut "engaged in sexual assaults" on foreign nationals hired as embassy guards and the charge and that members of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's security detail "engaged prostitutes while on official trips in foreign countries" -- a problem the report says was "endemic."
The memo also reveals details about an "underground drug ring" was operating near the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad and supplied State Department security contractors with drugs.
Fedenisn claims the findings were met with resistance from State Department higher-ups, one of whom said, "This is going to kill us." A final report issued in March did not include specifics about the investigations.

Arms weren't the only desires being traded by Poppy and Khashoggi's network throughout the 70s, 80s and 90s. In fact - I'd bet that good old boy's network has never been stopped at any point.
Shannon's story was far more typical than anyone in power would like discussed openly.

You can't have him, Chris! That's all there is to it! Move on! Don't die an old maid!
