Attkisson: ‘Overwhelming Body of Evidence’ Benghazi Rescue Teams Turned Back
Breitbart ^ | January13,2016 | Pam Key

Posted on 01/13/2016 6:58:51 PM PST by Hojczyk

Wednesday on Newsmax TV’s “The Steve Malzberg Show,” while discussing her Benghazi investigation “Full Measure,” host Sharyl Attkisson said there is now “overwhelming” evidence that rescue teams sent to aid the U.S. consulate in Benghazi on Sept. 11, 2012 had turned back before arriving.

Attkisson said, “We also spoke to sources and have some email evidence that talks about special forces that were not far away in Europe that we were told were assigned to respond in the event of a case just like this, and yet were turned back according to witnesses. This is something that the president and the White House has steadfastly denied, but there’s now what I would call an overwhelming body of evidence that leads us to believe that somebody stopped a number of teams and potential rescuers from entering Libya or going to Benghazi to help while those attacks were underway. They could have gotten there. According to experts and people that have information we spoke to, they could have gotten there before the last two Americans died. Those attacks went on for eight hours.”

She added “We spoke to, again a CIA team leader expert, an anti-terrorism expert who says the only person who stops those forces that spun up automatically without waiting to be told—the only force is the commander in chief, slash the White House, an authority that comes from him.”

Won’t stop the leftists from claiming “there was no stand down order”.

Sharyl may be uncovering significant data that clearly points to malfeasance on the part of Obama and the White House, but the does not change the fact that she is a RACIST.

Benghazi was THE reason Sharyl Attkisson was fired from CBS.

The GOP starting with Issa and McCain support
these murders of Americans, and support the
arming of al Qaeda, and support the covering up
of treason for yet another week.

After all, the GOP IS the Gave.Obama.Power party.

When U.S. State Department and CIA personnel and facilities were under attack in Benghazi, President Obama and Secretary Of State Hillary Clinton abandoned their duty posts and ran and hid in their bedrooms like guilty little children.

What were they doing in Libya that panicked them so bad that they dropped everything and ran?

Imagine, wanting to tell the truth at CBS! No wonder she was canned. Did I mention she is a homophobe? (Or was it racist? Let me check my all-purpose smear guide....)

Our “leaders” are compromised traitors. Isn’t that just great?

I don't think Obama was hiding. I think he was doing lines with Reggie and then "embracing his homosexuality".

Of course they could have gotten there. The outraged screams that came from the military community when it happened were from knowledge that help could have gotten there, and everyone who has ever served in that part of the world knew it.

The only two credible suspects, Hillary and 0bama, have had a long time to cover up the evidence, and it's their principal skill. Fortunately they appear as incompetent at that as they are at government. Maybe after all this time the truth will out. It seems the least we owe the dead.

EXCERPTS...

All evidence now points to a specific stand-down order issued by Secretary Clinton, since the Libyan facilities came under her direct authority. Without a specific request for assistance from the State Department, the Pentagon was powerless to act.

Last month, the State Department released a critical email, sent at 7:09 pm Washington time (1:09 am Benghazi time) from Jeremy Bash, a top aide to Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, informing Mrs. Clinton’s office of various military assets that were “spinning up as we speak” to deploy to Benghazi.

And when the orders finally went out from Panetta’s office an hour later, they included a retransfer of C-110 from AFRICOM back to EUCOM, along with orders for the unit to move to Sigonella the next day and hold in place, instead of flying to Benghazi.

In other words, because Mrs. Clinton refused to authorize those forces to deploy into Libya to assist State Department personnel and State Department facilities, Panetta had no other choice but to put them on hold.

With the release of the Bash email and 13 Hours, Mrs. Clinton’s cover has been blown.

And sanctimonious Obama says of Bergdahl that we don't leave anybody behind...

I suppose that Behgnazi could be Hillary's pardon insurance - either she gets one or she blabs once she has nothing to lose.

Both are traitors....along with those who know what happened and won't tell.

God bless Sharyl. She is a tribute to the age of REAL journalism.
