More whistleblowers will emerge shortly in the escalating Benghazi scandal, according to two former U.S. diplomats who spoke with PJ Media Monday afternoon.
These whistleblowers, colleagues of the former diplomats, are currently securing legal counsel because they work in areas not fully protected by the Whistleblower law.
According to the diplomats, what these whistleblowers will say will be at least as explosive as what we have already learned about the scandal, including details about what really transpired in Benghazi that are potentially devastating to both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.
snip...
Stevens’ mission in Benghazi, they will say, was to buy back Stinger missiles from al-Qaeda groups issued to them by the State Department, not by the CIA. Such a mission would usually be a CIA effort, but the intelligence agency had opposed the idea because of the high risk involved in arming “insurgents” with powerful weapons that endanger civilian aircraft.
Hillary Clinton still wanted to proceed because, in part, as one of the diplomats said, she wanted “to overthrow Gaddafi on the cheap.”
This left Stevens in the position of having to clean up the scandalous enterprise when it became clear that the “insurgents” actually were al-Qaeda – indeed, in the view of one of the diplomats, the same group that attacked the consulate and ended up killing Stevens.
snip... likened it to the Mike Nichols film Charlie Wilson’s War about a clueless congressman who supplies Stingers to the Afghan guerrillas. “It’s as if Hillary and the others just watched that movie and said ‘Hey, let’s do that!’” the diplomat said.
He added that he and his colleagues think the leaking of General David Petraeus’ affair with his biographer Paula Broadwell was timed to silence the former CIA chief on these matters.

You arm them when you want them to take out witnesses and tie-off any loose ends.
———this particular incident shouldn’t be hard to prove——
All that is needed for proof is a captured AQ commander. However, if he is not captured, he can not provide testimony.
He will never “be brought to justice” because his testimony will bring down the Obama regime
The state media breathes a collective sigh of relief and moves the headlines elsewhere.
Most Disgraceful Story in American Presidential History: Obama was ‘incapacitated’ due to ‘staggering, inapt activities’ between the hours of 1800 and 2300 on the night of Benghazi...

Yes. Isn't this where a select committee with an independent counsel comes into play? Ferret out the "John Dean" amongst them.
I just had a horrible thought. What if Hillary flips?
I don't know, but the story seems to be that he was willing and able to send help to Benghazi, but was not allowed to do so. Then, it seems, there were disputes serious enough that he was releived of his command and then retired.
General Ham's part in this is very murky and no one investigating or reporting on Benghazi seems to be pursuing his role in the story, at least it's not mentionded in most stories on the subject. It seems he is the key to at least one part of what happened: who issued the standdown orders?
sfl
Yep, this has to be the “4th shoe” that’s been promised. I’m certain he mentioned it would have something to do with the CIA.
Hmmm..so are they now going to say he was just stupid AND drunk now? Could that be true or just another ‘developing excuse’ to hide something even worse.
Sounds explosive either way.
Your pessimism and defeatism has been noted. The adults are talking here.

The key is that something was so important that a U.S. Ambassador needed to be in Benghazi, while the CIA who was there (1 mile away!) wanted or had no part in the original operation.
Mustard gas?! Known Al Qaeda bad guys being feted by Stevens?
Something.
It was so important that the White House didn’t want to call in the Defense Department or even Hostage Rescue when the op went bad.
And the State Department felt so scure that these facilities would not be hit that they actually REDUCED security leading up to 9/11....in cahoots with our enemy.
Wow...I just got a bit ill. That could be her only play now...save herself for 2016. Prolly what Bill is telling her to do. Good job, don-o.
Nice try.
I choose not to be taken in until the testimony gets out there. That's realism.. not pessimism.
Not sure. Could be we have two more shoes to drop.
Curl mentions the “fog of scandal”. Is that a reference to Hillary’s “fog of war” comment?
Gee....you mean “Please give us back the powerful, expensive weapons we gave you.” didn’t work?
“Hillary Clinton still wanted to proceed because, in part, as one of the diplomats said, she wanted “to overthrow Gaddafi on the cheap.” “
This doesn’t make sense to me. Since when does the SOS get to make that decision???
Overthrowing govts. is the CIA/Intelligence job.
With these they can kill many people any time they wish and virtually shut down air travel and totally disrupt the world economy.
This will be the worst thing any American Government has ever done as far as foreign policy goes.
Not to mention that when other countries are hit their governments will become extremely hostile towabrds Americans for arming AQ with these weapo s.
That was Obama’s plan.
