The Ambassador chose his security profile: if he had wanted to, he could have gone to Benghazi with a platoon of marines.
Benghazi is not an embassy.
Clinton never claimed that a video was responsible.
The CIA, and the NSA, believed, and still believe, that the video was A motivating factor in the attack.
The Obama administration, and the State Department in particular, had been very vocal in raising the likelihood of an attack by an Al Qaeda affiliate.
