Clinton told a newspaper's editors that she never told Benghazi victims' families that an anti-Muslim YouTube video had sparked the deadly attacks
Four of them have said otherwise - including the father of one of the fallen who wrote Clinton's words verbatim in a notebook
'Somebody is lying,' a columnist told her Wednesday. 'Who is it?'
'Not me, that's all I can tell you,' Clinton replied, casting blame on the families and attributing any confusion to the 'fog of war'
Hillary Clinton insists that if anyone is lying about the aftermath of the 2012 Benghazi terror attacks that left four Americans dead, it's 'not me.'
More than three years after the fires inside a U.S. diplomatic compound in the Libyan port city died down, the political heat is intensifying again – with Clinton facing tough questions along her road to the White House.
The Daily Sun, a newspaper in rural Conway, New Hampshire, hosted an editorial board meeting with Clinton on Wednesday. Columnist Tom McLaughlin recounted for her the claims of victims' family members who said she had told them a crude Internet video that mocked the Islamic faith was responsible for inciting the attackers who killed their loved ones.
Clinton has denied making any such statement, despite the accounts of four people. One, the father of a slain CIA security contractor, took written notes of her words.
'Somebody is lying,' McLaughlin told her Wednesday. 'Who is it?' 'Not me, that's all I can tell you,' Clinton replied, casting blame on the families.

Who's lying about Benghazi? 'Not me!' says Hillary Clinton as she insists she never told victims' families the terror attack began as protest over an anti-Islam video
CLINTON TALKS IRAQ AND BENGHAZI WITH THE SUN ED BOARD
December 30, 2015
EXCERPT
Sun Columnist Tom McLaughlin said she told an Egyptian diplomat the Benghazi attack was planned and not a protest but that she told family members of the deceased that the attack was the result of a demonstration. He said she then told George Stephanopoulos that she didn’t tell the families the attack was a demonstration about a film.
“Somebody is lying,” said McLaughlin.”Who is it?
Clinton replied, “Not me, that’s all I can tell you.”
At the time, Clinton said, everyone was emotionally distraught. She said some families didn’t know their sons were working for the CIA or were in Benghazi. Clinton said the information she had about the attack was from the intelligence community.
“What happened is people were doing the best they could with information that was changing,” said Clinton. “The CIA wrote and approved the talking points that were used. It was also true that from Egypt to Tunisia to Pakistan, the video was the primary spark that was sending people into protesting against our facilities. All of this was happening simultaneously.”
Continuing to press, McLaughlin said three family members victims said that Clinton told him that the attack was the result of the video and or that the filmmaker should be arrested.
Clinton replied that other family members believe differently and stressed she had sympathy for all involved. “I can’t recite for you everything that was in a conversation where people were sobbing, where people were distraught, the president and the vice president, we were all making the rounds talking to people, listening to people,” said Clinton. “I was in a very difficult position because we have not yet said two of the four dead were CIA ... This was a part of the fog of war.”
In terms of the U.S. involvement in Libya, which helped over throw Libyan dictator Mpammar Gadhafi in 2011, Clinton said the administration received support from Congress, the U.N. Security Council, and European and Arab states to act in a “supporting roll.”
Smartest Woman In The World.
Just think how she will be when elected queen of the world.
I would like to post a snide remark here but out of deference to the families I will hold my tongue.
PS what were the consulate survivors threatened with to keep them silent for so long?
Good thing H->! never wears a Blue Dress anymore......
I wonder if there’s a candidate in the field who could and would beat her over the head with this.....
The fact that Hillary is a terrible liar doesn’t stop her from trying.
Here she addresses family members, amongst others...

TRANSCRIPT EXCERPT
This has been a difficult week for the State Department and for our country. We’ve seen the heavy assault on our post in Benghazi that took the lives of those brave men. We’ve seen rage and violence directed at American embassies over an awful Internet video that we had nothing to do with. It is hard for the American people to make sense of that because it is senseless, and it is totally unacceptable.
This Clinton ‘has been’ needs to met someone from one of the New York famous families...know what it’s like to ‘played’ with!!!
Clinton: Anti-Islam Video 'Disgusting' Sep 13, 2012
“We’ve seen rage and violence directed at American embassies over an awful Internet video that we had nothing to do with.”
This line right here tells me that they made the damn video themselves.
They had EVERYTHING to do with it.
'Not me, that's all I can tell you,' Clinton replied.
The pathological liar is claiming she didn’t lie. Got it.
She repeated that pointed denial several times in the weeks after the attack. You betcha she was behind the making of the video. The Cairo embassy was apologizing for it the morning of Sept. 11th many hours before the Benghazi attack.
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Common behavior among the Clintons.
Bill Clinton blamed the military for the Mogudishu fight that left 18 Americans dead, 73 wounded, and 1 captured. He claimed to be surprised about the raid but said the military made the decision to seize high ranking Somalis.
‘’Clinton as she insists she never told victims’ families the terror attack began as protest over an anti-Islam video’’
She told that to the entire world. Did she specifically exclude the families of the dead men and think they wouldn’t hear? Liar.
