Clinton sought end-run around counter-terrorism bureau on night of Benghazi attack, witness will say

On the night of Sept. 11, as the Obama administration scrambled to respond to the Benghazi terror attacks, then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and a key aide effectively tried to cut the department's own counterterrorism bureau out of the chain of reporting and decision-making, according to a "whistle-blower" witness from that bureau who will soon testify to the charge before Congress, Fox News has learned.

That witness is Mark I. Thompson, a former Marine and now the deputy coordinator for operations in the agency’s counterterrorism bureau. Sources tell Fox News Thompson will level the allegation against Clinton during testimony on Wednesday before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, chaired by Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif.

Fox News has also learned that another official from the counterterrorism bureau -- independently of Thompson -- voiced the same complaint about Clinton and Under Secretary for Management Patrick Kennedy to trusted national security colleagues back in October.

“Good Christians! they with bended knees
Ingulf'd the wine, but loathe the lees,
Averting, (so the text commands,)
With ardent eyes and upcast hands,
The cup of sorrow from their lips,
And fly, like rats, from sinking ships."

Jonathan Swift
AN EPISTLE TO ROBERT NUGENT, ESQ. [1766]

She’s a fascist power hungry pig. I’ll stop there or they might come looking for me.

Speaking of that - a couple of weekends ago I stayed with a woman from Russia and she had the Charm School in her bookshelves that had not read yet. I told her briefly about the story - and how the Russians were in fear of their government before the collapse and her first comment was “like here now”.

Didn't Hussein go to bed just to make sure he made it to Vegas on time? Uh, oh.

Per Hillary of course, the above quote is her idea (not mine by a longshot!)

Sounds like a Jewish Russian. Have had the same conversation with a Jewish Russian.

This should be on front page. This will be the first time a key administration person will publicly accused Hillary of wrongdoing

He knew it had been choreographed as a simple ambassador-kidnapping ... then things took an unplanned turn.

There’s always 10% that don’t get the word.

“... And the suggestion that anybody in my team, whether the secretary of state, our U.N. ambassador, anybody on my team would play politics or mislead when we’ve lost four of our own, Governor, is offensive. That’s not what we do. That’s not what I do as president. That’s not what I do as commander in chief.” Obama at the second 2013 Presidential debate.

I think they’ve decided to throw Hillary under the bus. Barry will never be blamed - even though the SOS does exactly what the President tells him or her to do or follows the policy established by the President.

Whitewater scandal Hillary said 99 times, “I do not recall” Wonder if she’s going to use the same tactic. No she’ll blame someone else. Wouldn’t it be nice if Hillary and Obama both told the truth?

Last week was the National day of Prayer. Maybe God’s answering our prayers. If this is as bad as it appears I must remember what God’s word says:

Do not gloat when your enemy falls; when they stumble, do not let your heart rejoice,
