Benghazi Cover Up

[Tex]

This story gets uglier and uglier, and ignore it if you like, it isn't going away. The story about the video stirring up protests now appears to have been a coordinated baldfaced lie from the highest levels to cover up a fiasco. It appears our people were left to die so an inconvenient story wouldn't get out before the election.

I agree it is going to get uglier and uglier, but it is not going to get any more visible. The left-wing press just isn't interested in publicizing it.

[Merlot Joe]

If it not going to go away, then that means sooner or later they will make something else happen to draw attention away from this.

Soon even the left-wing press will not be able to ignore this. The email's have been released showing the first and second drafts from the CIA, State Department and FBI. They knew from day one it was not the video. They knew within 24 hours that it was Al Qaeda and not a demonstration gone wild. The official response to the attack was 'fixed' because Obama had proclaimed to have 'decimated Al Qaeda'. This will cause fall out for Obama and could dash Clinton's hopes if the media as a whole DO report the truth. Pieces of the two whistleblower’s testimony have been reported on and it does not look good for Obama or Clinton.

The bigger issue is do people really care. Too many people don't even know what the issue is or what Benghazi is. We suffer from too many blind voters who don't watch the news and don't care about the issues.

Big day today in Washington. Three State department officials close to the events will testify showing that the State Department and White House lied about the actions on 9-11 in Benghazi.

The top deputy to the U.S. ambassador killed during the Sept. 11, 2012 attack in Benghazi is set to deliver much-anticipated testimony today that could contradict the administration’s explanation of the deadly attack that took the lives of four Americans.

Gregory Hicks, the deputy chief of mission for the U.S. in Libya, will appear before the House Oversight and Government Reform committee at 11:30 a.m. today. Hicks, a 22-year Foreign Service diplomat, became the highest-ranking civilian in Libya after U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens was killed in the attack, which the administration initially characterized as a spontaneous demonstration that turned into a violent attack.

Two other State Department officials — Mark Thompson, the acting deputy assistant secretary for counterterrorism, and Eric Nordstrom, the diplomatic security officer and former regional security officer in Libya — will join Hicks at the hearing titled: “Exposing Failure and Recognizing Courage.”

The officials are also expected to be quizzed by committee members about emails showing administration officials may have deliberately downplayed what had transpired just six weeks shy of the presidential election.
Excerpts from a transcribed interview Hicks conducted with investigators from the Oversight and Government Reform Committee on April 11 show on the night of the attack Hicks repeatedly inquired whether any “big military” support was on the way to the consulate as the attack continued. While support was ultimately judged to be too far away to respond, Hicks claims that a special forces unit in Tripoli was prepared to board a flight to Benghazi but was told by military headquarters in Germany not to leave because they did not have the right authorization to do so.

“We fully intended for those guys to go [to Benghazi] because we had already essentially stripped ourselves of our security presence, or our security capability to the bare minimum,” Hicks said, according to excerpts of the interview released by a Republican committee aide. “They were on their way to the vehicles to go to the [Tripoli] airport to get on the C‑130 when he got a phone call from SOCAFRICA which said, you can’t go now, you don’t have authority to go now.”

I don't always agree with Glen Beck, in fact most of the time I think he is off his rocker... this time I think he has it right on the money. This administration was running guns via the CIA and a deal went south. This whole mess stinks to high heaven of CIA involvement. If you watch some of the coverage that Glen has put out on this, it is pretty hard not to put 2+2 together. One of the big things that stands out to me is why would an "ambassador" be riding around with two Navy SEALs in UNARMORED vehicles in a war zone?? Another is why in the hell was one of those SEALs posting on a GAMING website moments before the attack??? That is not really standard operating procedure for the US Gov't, but posting on message boards is a known CIA tactic... I think this rabbit hole goes all the way to the top and if it all ever comes out I would not be surprised to see Obama indicted for TREASON... if they were trafficking in weapons, they were selling to Al Qaeda... the Republicans will want BLOOD... as will MOST Americans, only the hard core Kool-Aid drinkers will stand with him... the rest are gonna throw his ass under the bus to save their own hides so fast it will make your head spin... nothing like a little good old DC two step to keep your own ass outta jail.

Top this off with the IRS scandal hitting the news, I think Obama's days are numbered.

I predict Oliver North (oops) I mean Hillary will go down for this, and like Reegan, Obama will come out un-scathed.

Now Congressman Wolf claims that the Benghazi survivors have been required to sign non-disclosure agreements on what really happened in Benghazi. Few news agency's bother to report this. Cover up? You betcha!

"On Tuesday I raised the question of why none of the Benghazi survivors, whether State Department, CIA, or private security contract employees have testified publicly before Congress," said Wolf.

"According to trusted sources that have contacted my office, many if not all of the survivors of the Benghazi attacks along with others at the Department of Defense, the CIA have been asked or directed to sign additional non-disclosure agreements about their involvement in the Benghazi attacks. Some of these new NDAs, as they call them, I have been told were signed as recently as this summer."

Wolf continued: "It is worth noting that the Marine Corps Times yesterday reported that the Marine colonel whose task force was responsible for special operations in northern and western Africa at the time of the attack is still on active duty despite claims that he retired. And therefore could not be forced to testify before Congress.

"If these reports are accurate, this would be a stunning revelation to any member of Congress, any member of Congress that finds this out and also more importantly to the American people. It also raises serious concerns about the priority of the administration's efforts to silence those with knowledge of the Benghazi attack in response.

"So today I ask, how many federal employees, military personnel, or contractors have been asked to sign additional non-disclosure agreements by each agency? And do these non-disclosure agreements apply to those undercover or have non-covert State Department and Defense Department employees?"

Wolf added, "I do not expect the Obama administration to be forthcoming with answers, but if this Congress, if this Congress does not ask for the information and compel its delivery, the American people will never learn the truth. Any federal employer employee or contractor who has been coerced and is silenced through a non-disclosure agreement should expect that Congress [will] ask to speak out on their behalf and compel their voice to be heard. That's why I, along with 159 of my colleagues, support a Select Committee to hold public hearings to learn the truth about what happened that night in Benghazi."
