The State Dept woman, testified that she was watching the surveillance camera feed in real time. If the State Dept woman was watching, so was Obama. They saw what was happening.
Why do you doubt that? Of course, they couldn’t identify the ambassador from the drone, but knew that he had been dragged out and they knew that someone was being paraded through the streets.
Obama knew the ambassador was dead and he ordered the Stand Down at that time and went to bed, leaving the “senior advisors” in the situation room to watch the rest of the attack.
Charlene Lamp testified she was communicating via open lines in “almost real time”. As far as I can tell she did not say she was able to watch the facility CCTV in real time. Did the CCTV even show the ambassador being dragged out? Open lines I read as telephone lines.

Then you have a leap of logic and claim without substantiation that if she was watching so was Obama.
Look, I agree Obama choked but your argument breaks down when you get some facts wrong.
The “stand down orders” as reported by Fox were early in the battle, way before he ambassador was dragged out so your sequence of events is incorrect.
It’s much more likely Obama was derelict and just blew the whole thing off and said “you guys deal with it I need to get to bed, I got to go to Vegas tomorrow and raise some money and campaign.” Your contention he saw in real time and knew the ambassador had been killed and gave a stand down order is speculation at best.
