Clinton: ‘Very Few’ Cables Ever Came to My Attention; None on Security in Benghazi Did

‘It is a long-standing tradition of the State Department for cables from around the world to be sent is to and sent from the state is department under the signature’

“Well, thank you, congressman. I think there has been some confusion, and I welcome the opportunity to try to clarify it to the best of my ability. With respect, as you rightly point out, the claims that were made about the cables, I think you have explained the fact that it is a long-standing tradition of the State Department for cables from around the world to be sent to and sent from the State Department under the signature, over the signature of the secretary of state. It’s a stamp. It’s just part of the tradition. There are millions of them, as you point out. They are sorted through and directed to the appropriate personnel. Very few of them ever come to my attention. None of them with respect to security regarding Benghazi did.”
