Secretary of state Clinton said she had accepted his resignation but apparently.

Incredible and the headlines for him as.

State Department security chief resigns after Ben -- this had been reported widely he resigned.

All -- she will she will come before our committee.

Before January ends in mid January and that not only will she have to answer about why repeated that pleas for more security were ignored.

But also this latest that dust up of saying one thing -- sing words so that you technically not called.

He's been in jail in Mexico since August until just last week.

And under very bad conditions -- parents were getting extortion.

A jail run by a drug cartel when John was doing nothing wrong trying to comply with the law.

But thanks to Fox News especially the parents wanted me to make sure that I pass on.

A word of heavy thanks to the O'Reilly Factor but every -- Sean Hannity.

Everybody did a great job ran up and that John is is at home he's sub recovering but he's got a bad stomach flu and a bad cold so.

We're we're praying for his help -- and that we sure that.
