The State Department has acknowledged it rejected requests to provide more security personnel in Libya. It also acknowledged rejecting a request to erect guard towers at the Benghazi mission, but notes that a number of physical security upgrades, such as the installation of concrete barriers to block unused gates, were made during 2012.

The State Department’s own Accountability Review Board concluded that the number of diplomatic security staff in Benghazi in the months leading up to the attacks was inadequate “despite repeated requests” from the Benghazi mission and the embassy in Tripoli for additional staffing.

The Benghazi facility had been projected to have five security agents and there had been multiple requests that five be placed there. But in the nine months before the attacks, the facility had a full complement of five agents on only 23 days.

After the State Department’s security staff in Washington rejected the repeated requests, the post became resigned to not having the full complement of five agents and stopped making the requests, the review board found.

A bipartisan report by the Senate Intelligence Committee also found that the State Department headquarters did not grant Stevens’ requests for more security personnel.

State Department headquarters in Washington did refuse repeated requests from its ambassador in Libya for more security personnel. And it decided not to accept an offer from the Defense Department to extend the stay of one of its security units in Libya, reducing the level of security that was available.

NOW PLAYING
State Department can’t locate 15 Hillary Clinton emails
Never autoplay videos
New documents released by a federal court show President Obama called then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on the night of the 2012 Benghazi attack — but the contents are being withheld by the State Department.

It had previously been disclosed that Clinton and Obama spoke the night of the terror attacks. But the documents offer additional information about the timing of the call — after the initial attack on the U.S. consulate, but before the second wave where mortars hit the nearby CIA annex and killed former Navy SEALs Ty Woods and Glen Doherty.

The contents of the call, however, are being withheld, not because the information is classified but because the administration claims they represent internal deliberations about the 2012 terror assault.

The claim comes as Clinton also faces accusations that she withheld Benghazi-related emails from her private server in the trove of emails handed over to the State Department.

The contents of the call were only shared with Obama’s and Clinton’s closest aides. Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes sent an email on the call to State Department officials Jake Sullivan and Philippe Reines, and National Security Council spokeswoman Bernadette Meehan.

The email was released as part of an ongoing lawsuit by conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch.

“Who originated the video idea?”

Ben Rhodes, Obama staffer

Ben Rhodes, the 37-year old little brother of CBS News president David Rhodes, is a national security adviser to President Obama. He also happens to be an Upper East Side literary type who took a Master’s in Fiction from NYU. Real serious artist. Rhodes was the one who edited the White House’s Benghazi talking points to focus the blame on spontaneous reaction to a YouTube video, rather than an al-Qaeda attack.

She says that the video was the reason. She lied.

She made the entire regime lie.

If anybody supports her, you want to live a lie.

Would internal deliberations include a “stand down” order?

Republicans should have spent their 10-minutes criticizing her by all manner of fact and innuendo, showing disgust and irritation with her obvious caterwauling defenses, and mostly making speeches deriding her abilities and actions as criminal and, at least, incompetent. After nine minutes of berating her, they should then have posed a question.

After all, that has been the Democrat pattern for about forty years.

Jim Jordan may not want it, but he should be the new speaker of the house, or majority leader.

The American People demand to know what was discussed in that call and why help was not sent!

Sure, why not? They both wanted to get Obama re-elected and it was a clear failure of Obama’s foreign policy.

As he should be.
Now she claims it was a brief statement.

Hillary and Obama were the ones who spread the lie of the video. It went out to the world. It helped stir up protests, especially when we were apologizing for it.

Why doesn’t Jordan bring up that even at the late date when the bodies came back, she was spewing the lies about the video to the families even then? C’mon, Jordan!
