Given the insufferable hapless media this should come as not surprise, but the folks who were reported to have resigned at the State Dept. did not actually resign.
WASHINGTON DC - A State Department security chief who was said to have resigned last week after the release of a scathing report about security lapses at the U.S. consulate in Benghazi in the run-up to the terror attack that killed four Americans reportedly is still on the department’s payroll.
The New York Post reports that Eric Boswell, the assistant secretary of state for diplomatic security, has not resigned from the department, as a State Department spokeswoman indicated Dec. 19. Boswell is instead just “switching desks,” according to the report.
Three other State Department officials, including Charlene Lamb, the deputy assistant secretary responsible for embassy security, were placed on administrative leave after the release of the report. However, according to the Post they are expected to return.

Your elected officials are not the ones running the show. It is “staff”. “Staff” brings issues forward and the elected officials vote on them. They vote as “staff” recommends them to. This is true for every level of government.
“Resign, reassign, crap, after a couple of drinks at the press pool Holiday Season party the words just get a bit blurry. Who the hell cares or reads this crap anyway?”, says the DC press pool.
Kinda like the Hillary taking ‘full responsibility’ with no consequences.
