Benghazi cover up tied to U.S. gun-smuggling operation: Documents
AIM ^ | October 23, 2015 | Jim Kouri

Posted on 10/23/2015 10:08:35 AM PDT by detective

The Obama administration officials — with the awareness of the Secretary of State — were involved in violating a ban on arming rebels in Syria in an operation that mirrors the Iran-Contra scandal during the Reagan Administration. But while the news media initiated a feeding-frenzy on Iran-Contra, they’re either yawning or helping the Obama administration in covering up the Benghazi-to-Syria arms transfers.

During Thursday’s House Select Committee on Benghazi hearing, the news media and the Democratic Party information machine appeared to be creating their desired narrative: the GOP is on a witch hunt to stop Hillary Clinton’s inauguration as President. But the hearings did manage to force the release of documents that were being hidden by the alleged conspirators.

One thing is for sure. They needed Stevens dead for a reason.

Then there’s the looting of the Libyan Treasury - wonder where all that went.

I watched the hearing. What definitely came out was that Amb Stevens was taking part in some questionable/shady dealings. I’m not convinced that Hillary was in on it. But the CIA must have been.

Nailed it, the average person is not really prepared for the “expedition” finding real information on the web is for most

And yes I know in intimate detail all about search engines so leave that alone...

Fact, there are over 2 billion web sites and growing and Google does not give you a clear shot and the candidate site pool from your search, they watch and then inject “their” suggestions into the flow, to sites who pay them “tribute” to float to the top of their list...

Now, The Media is all about the money and what is gonna “Draw Eyes”. God Bless you if you manged to survive a day at home and the programming between 8AM and 5PM...

They will flog a story until the numbers fall and then find a new host. Underneath all of this of course are financial and “political” considerations that can be manipulated to “extend or deny” access depending on overall impact...

People become trained not to focus on most of it, let alone understand it as there is always more!!!

So deep thought about anything is not needed when your friends cannot even find this country on a globe...

Testimony transcript from yesterday:

POMPEO: There was an e-mail that was from Mr. Blumenthal and (inaudible) before that, also discussing the same situation. Do you know who Mark Turrey (ph) is?

CLINTON: No, I don’t recall that I know who that is.

POMPEO: He was a private trafficker in weapons. He was working with Mr. Stevens and attempting to develop an authorization with the State Department so that he could in fact deliver those weapons into Libya. Does that — any of that ring a bell to you?

CLINTON: No, it does not.

POMPEO: So you never saw the e-mail that was from Mr. Stevens to — I think it went to Mr. Sullivan, where he says to Mr. Turrey (ph), this is Mr. Stevens now, says to Mr. Turrey (ph): “Thank you for this information” — this information about his attempts to get authority to ship arms into Libya. He says, “Thank you for this information. I’ll keep it in mind and share it with my colleagues in Washington. Regards, Chris.” Actually, “regards, Chris Stevens.”

CLINTON: I — I don’t know anything about that specifically. I do know that you’re referring to a document, and if you are, could you tell us what tab it’s at?

POMPEO: Yes, ma’am. I’m not certain it’s in there as a tab, but I’m happy to provide it to you.

My thought at the time was that Stevens was set up to be kidnapped and set free by the president’s remarkable negotiating skills to boost his sagging polls which showed him to be weak on foreign policy. Of course, part of the negotiations involved supplying rebels with weapons (under the table). Also the bad guys were told where Stevens would be located. (Pure treason). Rescuers were not allowed to come to his aid and it would have worked like a charm except for two ex-seals who heeded the call and stepped into the breach, causing delays and havoc for 7 hours and forcing the attackers to kill everyone, instead.
In the end, the press ran with the ‘blame the video’ story and covered up the rest. Also, the rigged election machines got the president re-elected no matter how the people voted.
My thoughts..

American leftist democrat hypocrisy on display. The worst part is that the dems and their oligarch masters don't even try to hide it anymore.

They don't have to, they have sufficiently dumbed down and demoralized the American public.

She was Secretary of State (aside from being the smartest woman in the world), of course she was in on it. She was the one who was gloating over Gadhafi’s killing.

She knows what she’s doing. “Specifically” is the key word here.

To seek valid information through the MSM is a total waste of precious time and brain power.
Last night I laughed over and over, watching denizens of the MSM valiantly try to cover for Hillary and our incompetent government agencies. An embassy burned, Americans dead, a nation lied to for years, parents grieving, and a country disgraced and the MSMers find nothing to yell about.
I remember the same MSM having 24/7 hyperventilating over the “horrific” revelation that there was an 18 minute gap in a tape from Richard Nixon’s oval office.
Imagine if Hillary’s last name began with (R). Wow

“Then there’s the looting of the Libyan Treasury - wonder where all that went.”

You mean the gold in the Libyan treasury?

It ended up the same as the Gold the US State Dept took from the Ukrainian Treasury after the successful overthrow of their government.

In an unrelated incident about that time, “Hillary Clinton’s brother landed lucrative gold-mining permit in Haiti “.

Convenient if someone wanted to launder some “found” gold, no?
