A Turi associate asserted that the government dropped the case because the proceedings could have embarrassed Clinton and President Barack Obama by calling attention to the reported role of their administration in supplying weapons that fell into the hands of Islamic extremist militants.
In the dismissal motion, prosecutors say “discovery rulings” from U.S. District Court Judge David Campbell contributed to the decision to drop the case. The joint motion asks the judge to accept a confidential agreement to resolve the case through a civil settlement between the State Department and the arms broker.
The deal averts a trial that threatened to cast additional scrutiny on Hillary Clinton’s private emails as Secretary of State, and to expose reported Central Intelligence Agency attempts to arm rebels fighting Libyan leader Moammar Qadhafi.

Yep- more covering of her ass by the establishment.
Isn't there supposed to be some checks and balances somewhere? Shouldn't someone be slapping his wrist and saying "no, you can't keep covering up crimes your friends commit"
Our government would be a laughable joke if it wasn't so scary.

Sorry, I didn't mean for this to be a Hilary thread. I think they are covering their own asses, not just Hilary's. The state department is a reflection of the President. More importantly, I think this shows the role of the US inadvertently funding and arming of the very terrorists we are seeking to destroy via bad policy.
