In testimony before Congress on January the 23th, 2013 when [[Secretary of State]] [[Hillary Clinton]] was asked why the [[Obama administration]] deliberately put out false information about the attack just prior to the [[Presidential Election of 2012]], Clinton said to the Senators, "Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk one night who decided they’d go kill some Americans?
