New Papers Reveal Obama State Dept Knew Benghazi Attack Not Caused by Protests
CNSnews ^ | February 15, 2017 | Michael W. Chapman

Posted on 02/16/2017 8:57:35 AM PST by detective

State Department documents released through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit filed by the government watchdog Judicial Watch reveal, contrary to Obama administration claims, the State Department knew as early as Sept. 12, 2012 that the Sept. 11, 2012 attack on the U.S. compound in Benghazi, Libya was a "direct breaching attack." It was not sparked "under the cover of a protest" or in response to an anti-Islamic YouTube video.

Papers now reveal what every sentient human being has known for 5 years.

The question is - what will be done about it?

Put yourself in the Secretary of State’s shoes.

You have a fight going on at Benghazi.

What is the first message you want to convey, even if it’s a lie.

“They attacked us because of this video they didn’t like.”

Your first message is a lie about their motive for the attack.

Doesn’t that seem odd?

A lie about their motive.

Why that?

BECAUSE THE REAL MOTIVE WOULD REALLY HURT THE DEMOCRATS IF IT CAME OUT.

Not the results.

Not the actions.

The motive for the attack scared them.

(Excerpt) Read more at judicialwatch.org ... On September 15, in a telephone call with then-Egyptian Foreign Minister Mohamed Amr, then-Secy Hillary Clinton emphatically portrayed the “stupid, very offensive film” as the root cause of the Benghazi violence.

Clinton told Amr, “I have repeatedly, as has the President and other officials in our government, deplored not only the content of this stupid, very offensive film… But we have to exercise more self-discipline… otherwise we’ll be in a vicious downward circle against everyone who has ever felt offended, particularly on the internet….”

After referring to Benghazi, Secy Clinton’s telephone call with then-Egyptian Foreign Minister Mohamed Amr also contained a curious reference to what the former secretary referred to as a “very successful investment visit led by my deputy Tom Nides, and on the very day they left, this series of incidents began to unfold.”

According to the Washington Post, Nides, who was deputy secretary for management and resources at the State Department, was at the same time responsible for “communications with donors” to the Clinton Foundation.

Nides was also involved in the earlier scandal involving Clinton’s efforts to provide special access to State Department officials for hedge fund clients of her son-in-law, Marc Mezvinsky.

A very short extension of the logic is that the U.S. Ambassador and 3 State Department employees and Kaddafi were murdered, probably by the Obama administration

Where was Congress with this (obvious) data?

Can we compare the dollars spent by Congress ($$$$) vs. JW ($$) vs. ‘findings’?

Course, I expect nothing less w/ Lerner still walking away free & clear, or Mr. Cankles’ I.T. ‘guru’, or ....

Can I register as an illegal alien? They seem to get all the perks these days

Tom Nides is the husband of Virginia Moseley, the VP and deputy Washington bureau chief for CNN, since 2012.
She’s worked, at one point or another, for virtually every MSM outlet and has loads of connections in DC.
