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.

Another one:

No, I don’t RECALL that I know who that is.

Lots of questions she weaseled around & would not answer directly. If not in a public congressional hearing, but in a court, you could “ I didn’t ask you if you could RECALL knowing Turi, I asked if you knew him ... Yes or No. I have no doubt the truthful answer would have been ‘yes’, but that would have opened up a whole can of worms for her so she wasn’t going there. Her body language and facial expression were totally different during that whole ‘gun running’ exchange .... I’m surprised her pantsuit didn’t catch on fire.

I didn’t see the last segment of testimony yesterday but my SIL called us and said right near the end Trey Gowdy pulled up an email from Chris Stevens to Shrillary where he was talking about the guns. Trey Gowdy waved it and asked her about it and my SIL said her face turned white as a sheet. We waited all night for somebody to talk about it on Fox and not a peep. So I guess the word came down.

Well we all know Chris Stevens was up to his eyeballs helping Hilllary in her gun running operation out of the CIA annex behind the consulate but there was never any real evidence of it. That’s why there was a stand down order and Stevens was left to die. She didn’t want the gun running to get out.

IMHO, dig a little deeper and you might find links to Petraeus, McCain, and Graham.

"were involved in violating a ban on arming rebels in Syria in an operation that mirrors the Iran-Contra scandal during the Reagan Administration"

The Arms Control and Export Act prohibits the arming of any group that is identified as a terrorist group by the US Dept of State.

This would be a clear violation of that law.

And it would be a significant political controversy if we actually had a US Congress.

Instead all we have is a bunch of cheerleaders.

Good point. She’s as slick as her husband.

Do you think she’ll walk or be indicted?

She’s the Dem’s only electable choice for President so they will protect her at all costs .... not sure how it plays out. Per sources who know the FBI, they say if the FBI recommends DOJ prosecute and they pass, the info will be leaked and that will be as bad or worse than if she were indicted.

That’s interesting. Thanks for that info. It makes sense, especially as hated as she is.

If she gets as far as the nomination, I see a “Benghazi Swift Boat” type movement.

Lurker :" (arms) Straight to ISIS "

We (State Dept.) arm and fund ISIS
We ("JUST-US" Dept.)arm the Mexican Drug lords
We (CIA / State Dept.)arm and fund the Mooselimb Brudderhood
At the same time, our government is DISARMING THE AMEICAN CITIZENS .
Does this make sense ??!!

They could have checked with FL on Sept. 12th, and found out about the weapons.

“...of course she was in on it”

I’m not so sure. The CIA may have wanted to keep her out of the loop.
