We've also had someone plead the 5th. Why do that if "nothing is there?"
Contrary to what TV would have you believe, pleading the 5th isn't an admission of guilt. In that respect, it's rather like bottom-feeding journalists inventing the term "lawyering up" for those smart enough to use their Constitutional right to counsel.

Wrong, if you have nothing to hide then there is no problem answer questions. All she did was plead innocent then claim the 5th. Since it is not an admission of guilt prisoners should demand a hearing. I'll bet you give everyone in prison the same opportunity they would do the same. They should be deemed innocent by your view.

And it was was proven a lie yet you have no problem with that because it's the Obama administration.

You are not exactly a Constitutional scholar are you? What you describe sounds like the East German justice system to me.
Ben Ghazi sounds like a cool foreign name to the turds. They probably have no idea where it is, and if Jay Leno did a walk about asking, they probably would say, don't know the dude man... Or a friend of Obama...
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said Wednesday that four members of Army special forces in Tripoli were never told to stand down after last year's deadly assault on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, disputing a former top diplomat's claim that the unit might have helped Americans under siege..............
"They weren't told to stand down. A `stand down' means don't do anything," he said. "They were told that the mission they were asked to perform was not in Benghazi, but was at Tripoli airport."
So they claim they weren't told to "stand down" but rather "you aren't going to go and try and help them".
Here is a little more information from the link you provided:
Quote:
Dempsey explained that when the four members of Army special forces contacted their command center in Stuttgart, Germany, they were informed that Americans in Benghazi were "on their way and that they would be better used at the Tripoli airport because one of them was a medic."
He also said that "if they had gone, they would have simply passed each other in the air."
After the first word of the attack in Benghazi, a seven-member security team, including two military personnel, flew from Tripoli to Benghazi. Upon their arrival, they learned that Stevens was missing and the situation had calmed after the first attack, according to a Pentagon timeline released last year.
Meanwhile, a second team was preparing to leave on a Libyan C-130 cargo plane from Tripoli to Benghazi when Hicks said he learned from the Libyan prime minister that Stevens was dead.
There is no arguing what I said. Stand down or You are not going is the same thing.
