Hillary Clinton

Many security requests were fulfilled.

These are our people on the ground. Where else would I be?

So you will be getting and, in fact, the entire world will be getting all of my emails, because they are all going to be public, and you will be able to read them along with everybody else.

I thanked him for his very strong support because he made it absolutely clear that everyone was supposed to be doing all they could.

Several of you have raised the video and have dismissed the importance of the video. And I think that is unfortunate...

We were combating the proliferation of weapons.

Of course not, Congressman, and I appreciate your going through the highlights of the very comprehensive report that the House Armed Services Committee did on this.

I supported doing what we could to support our European and Arab partners in their effort on a humanitarian basis, a strategic basis, to prevent Qadhafi from launching and carrying out mass massacres.

We should debate on the basis of fact, not fear.

What I did not and do not believe any Secretary should do was to substitute my judgment from thousands of miles away for the judgment of the security professionals.

The total elimination of risk is a nonstarter for U.S. diplomacy.

I think it's important to point out there were many in the State Department who believed it was very much in America's interest and in furtherance of our values to protect the Libyan people, to join with our European allies and our Arab…

Our nation has a long history of bipartisan cooperation on foreign policy and national security.

I did not primarily conduct business on email with officials in our government.

We set into motion a policy that was on the right side of history, on the right side of our values, on the right side of our strategic interests in the region.

I was in favor of the United States joining with our European allies and our Arab partners.

Nothing was marked classified at the time I sent or received it.

And I did not, Congressman.

There was no recommendation based on any of the assessments, not from our State Department experts, not from the intelligence community, that we should abandon either Benghazi or Tripoli.

I think the insinuations that you are making do a grave disservice to the hard work that people in the State Department...

The decision, as I recall, was that the post...requested five Diplomatic Security personnel.

Well, Congressman, I was the Secretary of State. My job was to conduct the diplomacy.

We have learned the hard way, when America is absent, especially from unstable places, there are consequences.

Well, Congressman, of course, I made it abundantly clear that we had to do everything we could to protect our people.

It's a great opportunity to describe all that we've been doing before the French try to take all the credit.
