Pickering: It wasn't necessary to interview Clinton on Benghazi
reality bites
Sun May 12 2013
Thomas Pickering - the former UN ambassador who, along with former Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman Adm. Mike Mullen, prepared the Accountability Review Board report on the State Department's handling of the Sept. 11, 2012 attack in Benghazi, Libya - says he didn't think it was necessary to interview former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton "because in fact we knew where the responsibility rested."

Of course he's defending their decision not to interview Clinton among others. I think it's commonly recognized as a response to being "up shit creek without a paddle".

ARB and their review are now currently under investigation for not interviewing key witnesses.
The ARBs report, which is itself now the subject of an investigation by the State Departments Office of Inspector General, found systemic failures and leadership and management deficiencies at senior levels in the State Department.
Critics have accused the panel of covering for the administration.
