For Europeans the real story regarding Hillary as SoS is not about a private server or emails.

"...the real story is how the State Department under Hillary Clinton was fully in the loop of the CIA running a rat line of smuggled weapons through Benghazi (so conveniently close to the US consulate), out of Libya and across Turkey straight to “moderate rebels” of the al-Qaeda-linked jihadi variety operating in to-be-regime-changed Syria. This, the real story, complete with bold elements of war crime, destruction of international law and flagrant abuse of power, has simply vanished. Just like those Hillary Clinton emails the State Department is “unable to locate”.

Turkey were meeting to Benghazi to somehow facilitate a weapons transfer or something. I asked about that repeatedly on DU as the question "Why were the two ambassadors meeting in Benghazi rather than in Tripoli?"

It is very obvious to anyone who understands about embassies. So thanks for pointing out the location of that paragraph to me.
