An obscure private firm hired by the State Department over internal objections to protect U.S. diplomats in Benghazi just months before the American ambassador and three others were killed was staffed with hastily recruited locals with terror ties who helped carry out the attack, multiple sources told Fox News.

One of the questions for Trump CNN’s Wolf Blitzer discussed with the DNC was: “Given that 50 national security experts said they do not support you, do you think you will have support of the military? What if you do not?”

The correct answer should have been: Given that Clinton and Obama left their own State-Dept employees to die, alone and unaided, the question should be - WHY WOULD ANYONE in the military trust Clinton, much less be willing to die for her as President????

If you watched the film 13 Hours, this was obvious. Thanks foxnews, way to go! Only late by a few years.

13 Hours was great. For once, Hollywood actually told a story with political implications of what really happened.

This was well known, wasn’t it? I mean, it was even in the Benghazi movie, “13 Hours”.

Nothing will happen, even if the diseased old skank loses. The machine will protect it’s own.

“does it say who is responsible for hiring these assassins?”

Was the security subbed out to some British firm? I seem to recall reading that here.

I thought I read security was from a Libyan group who just melted away.
