New Benghazi indictment confirms computers with classified information stolen
Fox News ^ | 10-15-14

Posted on 10/15/2014 4:39:44 AM PDT by afraidfortherepublic

An indictment Tuesday of a Libyan militant already behind bars for the 2012 Benghazi attack that killed four Americans confirms that computers with sensitive and classified information were stolen from the consulate during the assault.

Fox News was first to report in July that at least two computers were stolen from the consulate. While the State Department initially dismissed Fox's report, the new, 18-count indictment against Ahmed Abu Khattala confirms that sensitive and classified information was lost, including the location of the top secret CIA annex.

Abu Khattala, 43, the first militant to be prosecuted for the Benghazi violence, had initially been charged with conspiracy to provide support to terrorists, resulting in death. U.S. officials had described that initial, one-count indictment as a placeholder to allow for him to be brought into court and for a grand jury to hear more evidence.

The new indictment does not add to the public account of how the attack unfolded but it does include multiple counts that make Abu Khattala eligible for the death penalty if convicted, including murder of an internationally protected person and killing a person during an armed attack on a federal facility. It also accuses him, among other charges, of providing material support to terrorists, malicious destruction of property and attempted murder of an officer and employee of the U.S.

The indictment also alleges rocket propelled grenades, AK 47s and semi-automatic assault rifles were used at the consulate, and then mortars at the Annex during the third wave of the assault – a level of firepower that would contradict the administration's initial explanation that a demonstration had simply turned violent.

After his capture during a nighttime raid, Abu Khattala was brought to the U.S. aboard a Navy boat where he was interrogated by federal agents. He remains in custody...

Hillary should be disqualified from running for President based on her involvement in Benghazi, or lack thereof.

Criminal charges need to be filed against the regime and the ONE in particular.

Disqualification is the job of the DNC, and ultimately the electorate.

Oh, ok, ‘during the assault’ .....

For a short while, I was wondering how Sandy Burglar can stuff two computers down his pants.

“While the State Department initially dismissed Fox’s report”

Maybe Rosen can get an answer from the smirking sarcastic libtard press snob about this.

Obama and Clinton failed to secure the facility containing the sensitive information.

They had the ability (less than 4 hours away).

The prevailing liberal logic is that if I do not lock my gun away and someone finds it and uses it to commit a crime, I am somehow culpable.

It seems to me that this same logic should be applied in this case.

Makes you wonder what they got out of the CIA building there in Benghazi.

Baloney, she was responsible for the death of four Navy Seals by inaction and sending the help that was waiting for permission to act and were told to ‘stand down’.

Her ‘At this point what difference does it make’ says it all, the difference it makes is we do not want an anti-military President who has her head up zero’s behind....and helping operate a weapons program that lost billions of dollars in Bengazhi manpads, missiles, and at the State Department $6 billion is missing....DISQUALIFIED in my eyes and I could care less about the DNC.

someone has to indict.

I do not see the present administration which includes the Attorney General, making this happen.

ergo it is up the the Dhimmis to not let her run under their banner.

After a real president and AG is in office, then you can arrest and prosecute...but if SHE is the next president, their will be another 4 or 8 year wait. and the people are stupid enough to elect zer0 TWICE...so you figure out how to stop the abuse.

“ZERO footprint” makes F & F pale in comparison buried deep deep down under the rug/rock for NOBODY to see EVER. Would sink the DNC-asses and this muzzie (MB) administration and they would go to jail. It’s guarder more than Ft. Knox!!!

Just voicing my opinion....and if the rest of the country would stand up and voice theirs LOUDLY in front of the WH, we wouldn’t be in this mess.

He went into the library where notes and info from President’s were kept, and stole those pieces of paper where Clintoon said not to act on finding Osama bin Laden and stuffed those down his pants....removed them from history so to speak.

I’m ready to take action. Though I don’t see anyone of substance out there ready to take strong positive steps. We are going to either die of Ebola or be arrested and sent to zer0’s equivent of Siberia. And I can envision his keeping power after 2016. The GOPe are a bunch of little sissy-Marys.

The cure will have to start at the state level. Need a governor or 3 who will openly defy the Marxist POSOTUS.
