What if President Obama secretly agreed with others in the government in 2011 to provide arms to rebels in Libya and Syria? What if the scheme called for American arms merchants to sell serious American military hardware to the government of Qatar, which would and did transfer it to rebel groups? What if the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of the Treasury approved those sales?
What if the approvals were kept secret because some of those rebel groups were characterized by the same Departments of State and Treasury as terrorist organizations? What if the ultimate recipients of those arms were the militants and monsters in al-Qaida and ISIS who have slain and tortured innocents?
What if this scheme is defined in federal law as providing material assistance to terrorist organizations? What if that's a felony? What if that's the same felony for which the U.S Department of Justice has prosecuted dozens of persons merely for attempting? What if this scheme was not a mere attempt, but an actual arming of terrorists?
What if this scheme was approved not only by the president, but also by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton? What if the idea of doing this was hers? What if congressional leaders in both houses of Congress and from both parties signed off on this? What if the remaining members of Congress and the American people were kept in the dark about this scheme? What if those who agreed to permit this scheme knew that the arms were destined for terrorist organizations and they were flirting with a criminal conspiracy to violate federal law?
What if Clinton was asked by senators while under oath about the delivery of arms made by American manufacturers to ports in the Middle East and she denied knowing anything about it? What if she knew she had personally approved the deliveries but falsely claimed she had no knowledge?
What if this arms-to-terrorists scheme began to unravel? What if the rebels were really bad guys? What if there are many rebel/terrorist groups with varying degrees of hatred for the United States? What if some of the groups that received American arms are so hateful of the U.S. that they will bite the hands that fed them?
What if Clinton's job was to prevent American arms from slipping into the hands of terrorists? What if she secretly did the opposite of what her job required? What if she and the president and the other conspirators viewed themselves as being above the law? What if they thought the terrorist groups they were arming would overthrow the Gadhafi government in Libya and the Assad government in Syria? What if they believed those revolutions would be greeted with cheers in the West? What if they hoped the cheers would be for them?
What if their goal of regime change succeeded in Libya, and yet the result was chaos? What if under Col. Gadhafi Libya had been a stable U.S. ally? What if today there is no central government in Libya and it is ruled by gangs and tribes and militias?
What if the American assistance to Syrian rebels became known to the Russians? What if that knowledge prompted Russian President Putin to help his ally, President Assad of Syria? What if the American and Russian introduction of heavy military hardware into the Syrian civil war has resulted in prolonged war and more deaths of innocents and destruction of property, not less?
What if one of the terrorist groups that received American arms from this scheme attacked the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya, because it wanted more arms from the U.S. and it knew arms were stored there? What if that attack killed U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens and three of his colleagues? What if this was a nightmare scenario for the conspirators? What if the conspirators now fear that the truth of their plot will become known?
What if the tragedy at Benghazi was unwelcome but not unforeseen? What if the conspirators knew of the risks to innocent lives attendant upon breaking the law by giving arms to madmen? What if members of Congress who were kept in the dark about the arms-to-terrorists scheme were outraged over Benghazi? What if leaders of the House of Representatives, some of whom were conspirators, formed a committee to investigate how the murder of Stevens came about?
What if some members of that committee already know that Stevens and the others were murdered with U.S. weapons illegally given to U.S. enemies secretly by U.S. government officials? What if the stated purpose of the committee -- to seek the truth about Benghazi -- is not the true purpose? What if the real purpose of that committee is to suppress the truth so that the president and Clinton and the other conspirators do not get indicted? What if the truth is the last thing the conspirators want to see come out?
What do we do about lawless government by secrecy? What do we do about government officials who act as if they are above the law? What do we do if one of them lives in the White House and controls all federal prosecutions? What do we do if another of them is presently on her way there?
The answer to all of those questions except the last (”What do we do about it?”) is “It would be treason.”
Good for Judge Napolitano.
All things that I’ve wondered, and some of them I’ve believed since early in the Benghazi event.
Maybe the good Judge could just blame Pam Gellar.
What if?
Nothing, that’s what if.
Treason? Even though Barack Hussein Obama doesn’t act like America, show any affection for anything our country has ever done, or show any loyalty to America, I am as confident that Obama would never engage in treason as I am that he has always kept his word.
I trust him on this as much as if he had promised with his hand on the Bible (okay, just above a Bible; I doubt that he would actually touch a book he loathes), “If you like your country, you can keep your country. Period.”
What if the Democrats found out and held open hearings? What it the National Security Advisor, Deputy National Security Advisor, Assistant Secretary of State, and others were convicted because of this?
What if the Secretary of Defense was indicted on perjury and obstruction charges, timed to influence the upcoming Presidential election?
What if the wife of the Democrat President who won that election is behind the plot to arm the terrorists today?

If hiding the truth is the goal then the absolute worst choice for committee chairman would be Trey Gowdy. He is an ex-prosecutor and, IMHO, as straight arrow as they come.
There have been previous Benghazi committees where the Judge is correct but not the current one. Gowdy is slow and methodical but he is turning over rocks and we are finding things out. Give him some time.
==================================================
THE PULITZER PRIZE-WINNING STORIES ARE PILING UP
How the "dead broke" Clintons got rich quick.
(1) Hillary's State Dept uses classified intel in exchange for honoraria, big-buck foundation donations, business deals.
(2) COLLUSION Bill gets foundation donations through State Dept action OR inaction.
(3) The Clintons use "do-goodism" as a ruse to slither into countries w/ massive reserves of gold, uranium mines, oil, etc.
(4) Foundation laundry machines: Eaglevale Hedge Fund run by Chelsea's husband, Goldman Sachs principles.
(5) Teneo laundry--employed Bill, Huma Abedin, etc etc etc
(6) Obama foundations' cut of Clinton deals (CLUE: Clinton Foundation donates to Obama Foundation "for the children")
(7) State Dept foreign aid tax dollars funneled back as foundation donations (see Cameroon Baptist Church's $10 million donation)
(8) $6 billion found missing from Hillary's State Dept when she exited.
(9) Hillary gave Haiti billions; brother gets gold-mining license.
(10) Clintons' multiple hidden buck-raking entities (Bill just unveiled The Clinton America Foundation).
(11) Hillary hand-picks recipients of State Dept awards in exchange for foundation donations.
(12) Bill goes to Kazkhstan; Hillary approves Russian takeover of US uranium mines
(13) Clinton/Giustra Canada foundation hides donors.
(14) Clinton's Swedish entity hides donors.
(15) Clintons get rich on tolerance and compassion, w/ an occasional good deed.
(16) MAIL FRAUD-Pricewaterhouse Coopers accountants retained by the Clintons failed to report the Clinton Foundation’s apparent massive diversions of funds from a HIV/AIDS global charity(raising money for one cause that was diverted is considered mail fraud).
(17) Rahm Emanuel was Bill Clinton's senior WH aide, AND, a Goldman Sachs lobbyist...at the same time.
(18) Rham Emanuel was Obama's COS and ran the US Treasury--at the same time.
(19) State Dept ignored requests WRT Hillary refusing to place Nigeria's Boko Haram on a terrorist list---Clinton Foundation big-buck donor, Gilbert Chagoury heads sprawling Nigerian company.
(20) Lukas Lundin heads Canadian-based Lundin Mining, w/ big-buck interests in the Congo's mining and oil reserves; gives Clintons $100 million donation.
(21) Chelsea lied---said the Foundation received "high marks" from a watchdog group (which she knew to be false).
(22) Bill, Chelsea and Hillary Clinton Foundation underwritten by $16,000,000 grant paid for by US taxpayers.
(23) TAX FRAUD Board members were not advised of, and did not sign off on, Foundation expenditures. (Board members are fiduciaries required by law to oversee distribution of donations).
(24) L/E investigating the Jeffrey Epstein pedophile case found Clinton listed w/ 21 phone nos and email addresses---multiple phone nos and emails are connected to money laundering and tax fraud.
This perfectly fits Zero’s MO of being too lazy and inept to do things the right way. I suppose arming the rebels is one way to bring about change or enact foreign policy, but going through the trouble of planning and legislating is way too much work for Dear Leader and his idiot cronies. And why should they? They’re tyrants and the people and the press don’t care.
He's in D.C. now, and Boehner and the GOPe own him... at least until proven otherwise.
Time's running short, surprise me.
Watch your six.
Time’s running short, surprise me.
++++
Why? What’s the rush?
Gowdy is working his way up to an interview with Her Highness. He is lining up his ducks. I can wait. Time is not growing short.
Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping!
To get onto The Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping List you must threaten to report me to the Mods if I don't add you to the list...
Kinda puts HPSCI Chairman Mike Rodger’s (R-MI) “abrupt” retirement in perspective....
