60 Minutes confirms Benghazi is a real scandal, and you’ve been lied to
Legal Insurrection ^ | 10-27-2013 | William A. Jacobson

60 Minutes had an absolutely devastating report on the Obama administration’s failure to protect Ambassador Chris Stevens and other Americans in Benghazi.

I’ll post the video when available (update – available and added), but the heart of the report is that there were clear and unequivocal warnings which were ignored, and the Obama administration lied about these warnings after the attack.

Hillary and Obama blamed a video and stood by the caskets perpetuating that lie.

And remember how almost all of the media obsessed with Mitt Romney’s statement over Benghazi, and colluded to ask Romney gotcha questions while downplaying and obfuscating what really happened.

60 Minutes said its investigation took almost a year.

Contrary to early WH statements, Benghazi was a planned, sophisticated attack by Al Qaeda against the barely protected American compound

Security officer Morgan Jones says hrs before the attack, Amb Stevens told him he was worried about security at the Benghazi compound

A security official says the attack in #Benghazi was no surprise b/c al Qaeda had posted their plots against U.K. and U.S. online

A CIA quick reaction force ignored orders to wait & went into the compound, where they repelled 60 terrorists & saved 5 Americans

“You are going to get attacked in #Benghazi,” a security official says he told Amb Stevens 3 months b/f the assault on the U.S. mission

— 60 Minutes (@60Minutes) October 27, 2013


Prior to the attack, Amb Stevens approved a cable to DC that said: “The al Qaeda flag has been spotted…flying over govt bldgs”

Wow. State Department refused to allow security guards to carry guns at the US mission in Benghazi. (h/t @60Minutes)

So is our media going to ask @HillaryClinton why she pushed a video story in front of flag draped coffins #60Minutes now says was a lie?

#cbs dropping #Benghazi facts on #60Minutes Quite eye opening

Morgan Jones, Brit, trainer of Libyan guard warned the Libyan guards would flee in face of attack, which they did. #Benghazi #60Minutes

Wow. #60Minutes committing a random act of journalism by pointing out #HillaryClinton and @BarackObama's failure in #Benghazi.

Re 60 min: now you know these murderers were crazy angry about that video. Thanks Hillary. Thanks Susan Rice. Thanks Barry.

Watch these videos, and consider the cold hearts that blamed a video for political purposes when they knew it was not true:

A tale of the infamous Power Couple, Obama Bin Gazi and Hillary Bin Gazi.

So ... high level diplomatic and Foreign Service Officers in Libya knew Al Qaeda was planning an attack, and had requested profile changes and additional security assets, and these officers requested back-up during what was obviously a well-planned assault on the US compounds, and their requests were denied.

Meanwhile, Obama, Clinton, Rice, et al lie and lie and lie for weeks with some bullshit story about an unorganized protest over a YouTube video, when they had to know damn well that this was a planned Al Qaeda attack on 9/11.

Protecting Obama’s re-election chances mattered more to them than US military and diplomatic personnel and assets.

This is our government now. Rotten to the core.
