Not that we`re expecting any kind of adult answer.....
"Benghazi wasn’t the scandal that the conservative right tried to make it out to be. Unfortunately, the Democratic president didn’t engage in a big cover-up, and the Republicans trying to score political points by shouting “Benghazi, Benghazi!” are rapidly becoming irrelevant. In the fact of that, it should be pointed out that this amount of supposed outrage is completely hypocritical. One way to illustrate this is using the Beirut Barracks Bombing of 1983, which occurred during, and was the fault of, the Reagan administration. The following image, which has been shared quite a bit recently, is referring to it:
"Unfortunately, the Democratic president didn’t engage in a big cover-up..."
Big is a relative term. The emails unearthed so far shows it was only an attempt to keep details (the truth) from the Right so they would not use it to their advantage during the election season. Is that "big"? I suppose someone smart would use "minions" to insulate himself with several thrown under the bus to take the heat for him. Might be.
Is it possible you have missed the true target? Hillary? What an easy target. She was in charge. She claimed the attack was an impromptu riot knowing it was not. She lied. This is too easy and too correct for the Right not to take her out and if possible, only just possible, some smoking gun link to you know who, her boss.
Here is my take on your OP:
di·vert (d-vûrt, d-)
v. di·vert·ed, di·vert·ing, di·verts
v.tr.
1. To turn aside from a course or direction: Traffic was diverted around the scene of the accident.
2. To distract: My attention was diverted by an argument between motorists.
3. To entertain by distracting the attention from worrisome thoughts or cares; amuse. See Synonyms at amuse.
v.intr.
To turn aside.
