Benghazi investigators gave Hillary Clinton heads-up on findings
Washington Times ^ | September 19, 2013 | Stephen Dinan

Posted on 09/21/2013 8:18:05 AM PDT by george76

The leaders of the State Department’s Benghazi probe defended their inquiry into the 2012 attack, but they acknowledged to Congress on Thursday that their mission was limited in scope and faced questions over why they gave Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton an advance look at their findings.

Retired Adm. Mike Mullen, vice chairman of the accountability review board, also acknowledged that he had warned Mrs. Clinton’s chief of staff not to send a particular official to Congress because he thought “she would be a weak witness” who might have hurt the State Department’s stance.

Republicans said those moves called into question the motives of the review, which was supposed to be an independent look at what went wrong in the attack and how to prevent others.

“If this is so independent, why are you giving the State Department a heads-up about a witness coming in front of this committee?” said Rep. Jim Jordan, Ohio Republican. He said the warning came just days after Adm. Mullen had been appointed to the review board.

...

Charles Woods, father of Tyrone Woods, one of the former SEALs who was killed in the attack, was not convinced.

“We need to ask the people that were there, not rely upon hearsay evidence as to whether or not there was an order to stand down,” he told the committee. “Ambassador Stevens was alive for a substantial period of time after he made that initial distress call. It’s very possible that there would have been no loss of life if that first order to stand down had not been given. We need to find that out.”

There is a reason why we cannot talk to the people that were actually there and we need to find out what it is.

I blame the Republicans for not arresting Holder; for not oalling witnesses sooner, for not getting supeoena’s (they are still giving them more time or else threat)....They never called Rice to testify before she took another position. Why?

Then we had Romney who let Obama skate over Benghazi....was like a timid mouse.

Republicans totally mishandled the whole Benghazi situation. Dems demanded and received Gonzalez’s resignation under Bush over complaints of being political.

Yet Holder skates by on everything...I really wish someone would out the Republicans that are being black-mailed to not do their jobs (ie Boehner- Obama folks have something on him, but what, gay? adultry?)....

A lot of my research turns up problems in the pasts of people who are prone to be blackmailed by the regime. Its just what they do and have always done. Bill and Hill have been doing it their entire career.Seems zero learned a lot from the clinton mob.

No because she “had nothing to do” with Benghazi, according to Mullen.

Mullen is not gay (that I know and I know him) but is amazingly manipulative and ambitious. He does have two sons in the Nav, both went to USNA and now serve and get some what special treatment. He also considers himself a catholic...ha! despite advocating repeal of DADT.

Perhaps this is a clue to know what is going on with McMullen. If he’s in the closet he may be played by the regime,just a guess.
Here’s a clip from the link below.

“Retired Admiral & Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman, Mike Mullen who is also an openly gay activist, conducted an independent review of the events at Benghazi, stated that “the attacks in Benghazi were security related.” Mullen said that the terrorists who committed the attack were solely to blame for the deaths of J. Christopher Stevens, State Department employee Sean Smith, member of the State Department diplomatic security Tyrone Woods, and former Navy SEAL Glen Doherty.”

OK, I just read it....so?
I know him, his wife, and have met one of his sons....
“Openly gay advocate”? Am not aware of this.....
While he is slimey, self-promoting, egotistical and ambitious, I don’t think anyone who’s worked for him would say he’s “gay”.... I think.
If he emphatically states the attack was terrorism, he is a coward not to call the Obozo admin on their LIE that it was caused by a video.

Zero learned a lot from his daddy Frank Davis.

He sure didn’t learn anything from that drunken womanizing cuckold Sydney got to take the knocked up rap.

<....”NO one from this administration picks people for ANYTHING who they don’t have something completely damning on”....>

Likely very true Mesta...but dang the entire Washington “show” isn’t making any sense now. It’s like they’re all caught up in something we are not privy to.. but they know.

Obamas’ coment about “their messing with me”...was revealing. How did this nation EVER think this man was Presidential Material. My gosh he walks and talks like a Chicago thug now, not even attempting to hide it.

When he ‘shouted’ “we’re not going to let”...We’ve been waiting 50 yrs. for this” (healthcare)....I don’t for a second believe he’s referencing healthcare. He knows full the people don’t wont it...so who is the “we” he’s talking about?..and what exactly is it he’s driving home underneath the mask of healthcare?
