Peter Selfridge made his debut as protocol chief at a reception at Mount Vernon attended by Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe and diplomats from 60 countries ranging from Benin to Papua New Guinea to El Salvador. 
The deaths of four Americans in Benghazi has spawned more than dozen congressional hearings, 25,000 pages of documents, 50 briefings and a seemingly inexhaustible supply of conspiracy theories.
