Mother Of Slain Benghazi Officer To Sean Hannity: ‘They Want Me To Shut Up’
Mediaite ^ | Friday, April 5, 2013 | AJ Delgado

Posted on 04/07/2013 10:19:18 AM PDT by kristinn

On Friday, Sean Hannity brought Pat Smith, mother of the late Sean Smith, on his radio program. The 34-year-old information management officer was one of four Americans murdered in the Benghazi embassy attack on September 11, 2012.

In the chilling interview, a distraught Ms. Smith, in tears, pleaded for answers and spoke of the efforts to silence her.

Ms. Smith first relayed how her son, prior to the attack, requested additional security in advance and warned the State Department:

He did tell them, ahead of time, he typed it into his little typewriter over there, that they were going to be attacked, ‘please they needed more security,’ and they were ignored. And I don’t appreciate everybody going to bed and going to sleep and not taking care of the guys that they put in harm’s way, one of them being my son.

Smith then spoke of the intimidation she has experienced, in her quest for answers, noting she is being silenced, though Hannity clarified it is not by someone in the government:

They don’t tell me much. They want me to shut up…. I was told, and I really would rather not say by who, [though] I can if you need it, but I was told that I’m causing a lot of problems and to shut up…. I told them ‘I will not! I will not shut up until I find out what really happened!’

Hannity noted how trying to cover this story is “very frustrating,” with Ms. Smith wryly noting: “I know, you won’t find the answer. I’m told it’s too high up.”

Somebody not in government telling her to shut-up? Must be Bill Clinton.

His wife isn't in government at the moment.

She also said she was worried for the well being of his wife and her grandchildren if she were to make that public.

She was not invited to the Jefferson Medal award ceremony in that only his wife and the children would be going gratis the government. His wife resides in Amsterdam.

Hannity then asked if she would like to go, she said yes. He then asked if she could afford it. She replied she is living on SS and Sean immediately told her that he would flip the entire bill for her and her companion.

I have heard, not first hand, that there is some sort of friction between the wife and the mother over this and I feel much of it has to do with whatever the wife is getting paid as a survivor from the government. The wife is afraid the payments will stop and the mother wants to see the grandchildren. I would think if all does not go well at the ceremony, granny will open up like an azalea in early spring.

BenGhazi Hussein Obama's pro-Jihad pro-terrorist AG:
On the morrow, anyone daring to criticize us
or who investigates our treason in benGhazi or elsewhere
will be audited of their home.
And, if they are crackers, their children will be sold into slavery."

If Hannity didn’t give platforms to Whiplash McCarthy and Rove, he’d be perfect. I would agree his drive to interview people who are being ignored by others, people we really need to hear from is refreshing and unparalleled. I did want a name here. This woman has little to lose. Her son is dead. This admin got him killed.
Someone not in the regime? Who could that be? Someone in the Obama campaign? Axelgrease, Messina, Cutter?

> Her kids’s dead. When do the gloves come off for her?

When the gun is no longer pointed at her head.

BO tried to play a little kidnap game, so he could look like a here while returning the blind Sheik.

He didn’t count on ex-CIA ops, coming to attempt a rescue.

BO and Hillary have never taken American security seriously and have always treated it like a board game.

Their ignorance will cost American lives for years to come.

His whole outfit is built on thuggery so it could be anyone in a great number of people.

Reportedly the Roosevelt-Truman Administrations abandoned moree than 25,000 American prisoners of war taken into custody by the Soviet Union in 1945 as hostages for the forced repatriation of Soviet prisoners of war Stalin was executing as they disembarked from the transports. These abandonments allegedly continued during the Cold War and were precededd in the years beefore WWII with the U.S. intervention in the Russian civil war against Bolshevism and the American workers arrested and detained in the Soviet Union in the 1930s. From the viewpoint of the Democrats, the latest incidents would just be business as usual, clandestinee abandonments.

Years ago I learned and lived with some similar situations as director of an important local government agency. I had one rule of protocol that was impressed on all employees. ‘ You do not hide from the public what is public information. You don’t have to and should not broadcast agency affairs apart from what belongs to the public’. Make sure what is said or given out satisfies rules for disclosure. Of course there was always some judgement as to ‘public information’ and there always was pressure from politicians to be more open or to be more closed.

It’s over. The communist in chief and his lackey Hillary got away with their lies.

The country is back to watching two and a half a$$h*les and doesn’t care.

A mother’s or father’s pain are just two more lambs slain on the altar of political correctness.

[“I know, you won’t find the answer. I’m told it’s too high up.”]

The truth eventually comes out but sometimes it is decades after the fact.

Will the history books tell future generations that innocent pure as the driven snow good peaceful poor people got mad over an evil Youtube video made by an evil rich infidel that unjustly criticized their peaceloving religion
or that bearded savages rioted and murdered 4 Americans on the anniversary of their favorite date and that the current commander in chief refused to help his fellow Americans because he is afraid to annoy the bearded savages?

Why doesn’t she just go pull a “Cindy Sheehan” and camp out in front of the Wigte House or any of Obama’s vacation hideouts?

The lib media loved Sheehan when she was protesting against the evil GWB.

Military Scramble Order Overseas, How They Work
First, I've got over 26 years working in military control towers, most of them as the watch supervisor/crew chief on duty.
Scrambling aircraft to respond to urgent situations normally starts at the North American Aerospace Defense Command.
The scramble order comes down through a secured phone call on a direct line.
In the attack on the U.S. embassy on Benghazi, the drone control would have been from MacDill AFB, FL, by U.S. Central Command, and would have been in direct contact, or maybe even remote control to the situation room in the White House.
Watch this 4 minute 48 second video Inside the Situation Room.
The pResident SHOULD HAVE issued to order to scramble fighters to Benghazi, to get there in minimum time.
Then he SHOULD HAVE issued a second order scrambling AC-130 gunships to respond to Benghazi, and have them stand by for more orders. This should have been controlled by the pResident, who should have monitored and responded with guidance from his Situation Room, Read
Here's one more piece of information.
Like Rush said:

Now we know that Obama was in the room watching Benghazi attack live.

I know from experience in the government (over 30 years) that the communication system allows for IMMEDIATE NOTIFICATION to the SITUATION ROOM,
as well as other agencies, of notification of a critical situation such as this.
I'm sure technology has changed and only gotten better since I retired, but read this with focus onFLASH OVERRIDE and FLASH.
There is more you need to read.
Read post #48 of ""Under God" Removed By Obama During Inaguration Pledge" and know that we were warned of this.


This has been planned for a VERY LONG TIME.
Obama is solely responsible for this.
Hillary claimed “No Knowledge” of gun running
and told Rand Paul he needed to ask the CIA
.


Let's look at some of the facts.
So, let us remember. For a better understanding of the issue, read HISTORY of Mohammed ( spelled variously; Mahomet, Muhammed, Mehmet, etc. ). then watch William Federer explain it, from Jan. 25, 2012 at CC Chino Hills, CA. It's a MUST WATCH for everyone,Christians, Athiests and even Muslims!

As retired military myself, I've seen the damage of "keeping secrets" about bad leaders.
Obama is EVIL, pure and simple.
Please watch Glenn Beck with Trevor Loudon & his book "Barack Obama and the Enemies Within".
Then watch the 29 minute 13 seconds video Trevor Loudon- An Urgent (and chilling) Message for America.

Obama may be feigning "incompetence," thinking he's too sly, being a "wolf in sheep's clothing" since his mentoring was from Fabian Fascism..
The "Establishment Republicans" will probably NOT want to IMPEACH the TREASONIST Barack Hussein Obama II.
But it's better for the country that Obama suffer the penalty, the strongest penalty for his actions, and his inactions.
Let's look at the Presidential Oaths of Office.
Now who among us really believes Obama did any of that ?
To Obama, that was "Just words. Just speeches! "
Damn him ! Damn him to hell !

I'll finish this with asking you to read Watch the 18 minute 56 second documentary video "Absolutely Uncertain" at "theBLAZE.com" or on YouTube.com, narrated by Irina, the 23-year-old “Jewish New Yorker” and a former Obama supporter .

One other suggestion, read DID OBAMA WANT STEVENS DEAD?
The language is a little abrasive, but spot on. Also read: To Sidebar Moderator:
