Brennan Sent Letter to Benghazi 'Survivors'
Weekly Standard ^ | 8/03/13 | STEPHEN F. HAYES

Posted on 08/03/2013 6:16:12 PM PDT by Libloather

John Brennan, the director of the Central Intelligence Agency, sent a letter to each of the CIA employees who were on the ground during the Benghazi attack on September 11, 2012, inviting them to share information with Congress, according to three sources familiar with the missive. Brennan sent the letter in late May at the behest congressional intelligence committees, whose members remain interested in hearing from the survivors of those attacks.

**SNIP**

The CNN report has triggered renewed scrutiny of the purpose of the still-obscure CIA mission in Benghazi. A State Department official told CNN that the U.S. government was involved in helping the young Libyan government destroy old and damaged weapons and ruled out State Department participation in any effort to transfer weapons out of Libya. According to the CNN story, the spokesman “clearly told CNN they ‘can’t speak for any other agencies.”

Sure he sent a letter. Followed by a visit from someone telling them what is at stake if they plan on cooperating with Issa and Co.

Not sure if they understand the word- “limit”, or the need for it.

Perfectly, but only when applied to others.

I guess I read too many novels.

But this sounds like such lame B.S. that they really should hire someone with a better imagination.

And, if it takes 30+ staff to do what they are saying, we should sic the GAO on them for reckless spending.

The best indicator of a PHONY ADMINISTRATION is the number of its REAL SCANDALS.

Commie Obama’s talking points are thus smokescreen distractions for the products of Obama’s first 4 years in office:

* Refusal to close US Southern Border to Mexican illegal alien invaders
* No known un-forged records of Place of Birth
* No known un-forged records of University grades
* Benghazi Massacre
* Dereliction of Duty as CIC during Benghazi Massacre
* Cover up of Benghazi Massacre
* Destruction of Seal Team Six
* Cover up of Fast and Furious murder of US Border Agent by Exec. Order
* IRS-Obama’care” Commune Death Grip on Wealth and Health
* NSA-Gestapo Death Grip on all citizen’s communications
* Use Courts against News Media
* Use of Supreme Court to install Un-Constitutional Obama’care’ Tax
* Destruction of the US Coal Industry
* Refusal to permit XL Pipeline construction
* Trillion Dollar a year Federal Overspending
* Monthly violations of the US Constitution by Obama
* Use of Exec. Orders to bypass Congress

He sent this letter in late May? Almost 9 months after the attacks?

Should tell them “if anyone is attempting to silence you or manipulate you into keeping the Congress in the dark, rest assured it will be our purpose to permanently remove said person(s) from employment in the United States government.”

“What I’d like to know is – the annex that was close by – were they involved with procuring, buying or selling, obtaining weapons, and were any of these weapons being transferred to other countries, any countries – Turkey included,” Paul said, referring to the “annex” operated by the CIA in Benghazi.

Clinton told Paul that his question would be better directed to “the agency that ran the annex.”

“You are saying you don’t know,” Paul said.

Said Clinton: “I don’t know.”

John Brennan, director of the CIA:

They say he converted to Islam while he was CIA Chief of Station in Riyadh.

Oh! Almost forgot...!

He was an exec at the DC company responsible for stealing GayMuzzie's passport data from the State Department, with the culprit later SHOT IN THE HEAD in his car in front of his freaking church.

Meh..! Could happen to anyone, right? I mean, I'm sure that's completely coincidental, right?

And since that happened right before Obama appointed him to HEAD OF THE FREAKING CIA, I guess ole GayMuzzie just LOST HIS MIND, and up and APPOINTED HIM, right?

I mean, I'm sure that a career CIA operative wouldn't know a thing or two about control and leverage, and even if he did finally learn such things, then he would NEVAR apply those lessons to his own professional life, right?

Perish the thought..! I mean THAT would be nasty..!!

They say that in addition to the ole' LIBYAN MISSILE SMUGGLING thang he was rocking down there that Johnny gradually DID NOT LIKE some of the nightshirted gentlemen running around the dunes down there. And that there was some mission creep and that he, uh...

STARTED PINK MISTING a good number of 'em. And their buddies DID NOT LIKE THAT.

SO WHAT THEN HAPPENED, HMMM...?

Great......another chain letter.

“Send this letter on to ten of your friends or something bad will happen to you.”

Like you’ll get Hillary Clinton as your President.

The letter never reached the CIA agents because they had already changed their names.
