On September 11, 2012, by 6 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time, the attack by a terrorist group associated with al-Qaeda was still underway against our consulate and CIA compound in Benghazi, Libya. By this time the whereabouts of Ambassador Chris Stevens were unknown, but the State Department had been informed of the attack and that Sean Smith had been found dead. The following is a verified timeline of what then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, President Obama, the White House and various administration agencies knew, when they knew it, and the now-verifiable lies told by all concerned for more than a week...

The list of the top Hollywood films of all time for every American film lover always includes the classics like ‘Citizen Kane,’ ‘Gone with the Wind,’ and perhaps ‘The Godfather,’ part I and II. There are always disagreements, with additions and subtractions to everyone’s list. But for the most part the classics I listed are cinematic masterpieces that have withstood the test of time. Last week the viewing public was treated to another performance worthy of Hollywood’s highest honor for acting, the Oscar. In this case though there would be the need for multiple Oscar awards for ‘Best Acting’, not...

Judicial Watch Changes History On Benghazi New State Documents Show Quick White House Effort to Link Benghazi to Internet Video JW Uncovers Draft Hillary Clinton IndictmentJudicial Watch Changes History On Benghazi Yesterday, I had the honor of attending part of Benghazi Select Committee hearing featuring Hillary Clinton. Joining me was Judicial Watch attorney Ramona Cotca, one of the key JW attorneys litigating the federal open records lawsuits that forced both the creation of the Select Committee and the disclosure of Hillary Clinton’s illicit email system. As the Washington Post pointed out in a not-too-friendly piece, this hearing would not have...

The former chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence says it’s now blatantly obvious former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton lied about a YouTube video sparking the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, but he said the lies go even deeper on the video and that Republicans should have done a better job pressing Clinton on critical issues. On Thursday, Clinton testified before the House Select Committee on Benghazi. In one of the most critical parts of the hearing, Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, presented an email Clinton sent to her family and transcripts of phone conversations she...

SHAMELESS LIARS! Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton plotted to blame the Benghazi terrorist attack on the “God versus Allah” video by Pastor Jon Courson before they settled on the “Innocence of Muslims” YouTube video. Before the body of Ambassador Chris Stevens was recovered the Obama administration was scheming to deceive the American public about the Benghazi attacks. The lifeless body of Ambassador Stevens was later dragged from the Benghazi US consulate after it came under attack by Muslim extremists on September 11, 2012. The next morning Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton released a statement on the Benghazi attack – blaming...

It is of little concern to me that the corporate media says Hillary aced the Benghazi hearing, To me she didn’t, and I care more that the public is being inured to public officials’ lying. Were I running for president against her I’d produce a simple campaign video. My campaign video would be short -- it would be Hillary before the caskets of the four Americans slaughtered in Benghazi blaming an obscure video and its maker for the incident; Hillary telling the father of one of the deceased, Ty Woods, that the video maker would be arrested (“we are going...

Following the attack in Benghazi, the Obama administration was quick to try to blame the attack on a “crude and disgusting” YouTube video, despite the fact that they watched our Americans die in real time, while repeatedly telling those wanted to help to stand down. While this in of itself is the epitome of evil, a bombshell report was just revealed by Judicial Watch, that will make your blood boil even more. According to these new documents, while our Americans were still on the roof of the consulate, fight off the attack, the Obama administration was already on the phone...

Vice President Joe Biden’s announcement on Wednesday that he would not run for president of the United States made it a foregone conclusion that the media would worship at the shrine of Hillary Clinton during her Benghazi testimony on Thursday. They have no other choice. The precious must be protected at all costs, which means covering up for her lies, her calculated obfuscations, and her charmless faux-gravity. ... Hillary maintained on Thursday that she believed the attack still had something to do with the YouTube video, “The Innocence of Muslims.” But the night of the attack, she emailed Chelsea Clinton...

State Department documents detail delays and lack of support in hours after attack (Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch today released new State Department documents that raise more questions about the September 11, 2012, terrorist attack on the U.S. Special Mission at Benghazi, Libya. The documents show the White House contacted YouTube over an Internet video as one of its first moves after the initial attack.

Hillary Clinton is scheduled to appear before congress and testify before the House Select Committee on Benghazi this week.  Everything about this hearing is a total sham. ♦ When we first completed the 11,000 word research paper in 2013 called “The Benghazi Brief”, and against a considerable backlash, we shared an unfortunate reality/prediction.  Nothing about what led up to the attack would ever be discussed in public. ♦ In August of 2014, upon completion of the updated Benghazi Brief, we stated that Congressman Trey Gowdy would never be allowed to publicly divulge the back-story of what led to the September 11th, 2012,...

RUSH: Okay, Donald Trump. Okay, Trumpsters, I need to know what you're thinking here. Donald Trump said that he had to say it, that 9/11 happened while George W. Bush was president. He wished it didn't, but it did. And the implication was clear that 9/11, if you're gonna start blaming politicians for things that happen while they're in office, then how do you not blame George W. Bush for 9/11? And then Democrats immediately picked that up and applauded Mr. Trump and said, "Exactly right. "So if the Republicans are not going to acknowledge that George W. Bush was...

WASHINGTON — Sidney Blumenthal stood to benefit financially from his unofficial advice to Hillary Clinton on U.S. policy in Libya when Clinton was secretary of State, according to the Republican chairman of the House committee investigating the 2012 terrorist attacks in Benghazi. “Beyond the pure politics that were occurring at this time, perhaps more disturbing is that at the same time Blumenthal was pushing Secretary Clinton to war in Libya, he was privately pushing a business interest of his own in Libya that stood to profit from contracts with the new Libyan government — a government that would exist only...

Cheryl D. Mills, who served as Hillary Rodham Clinton’s chief of staff while she was secretary of state, said she regrets not thinking more closely about how her boss would handle her e-mail as Clinton was entering the cabinet in 2009. Mills, a longtime adviser to Clinton who also serves as one of her personal attorneys, said relatively little thought was given to Clinton’s use of a private e-mail account while she was secretary, an issue that is now dogging the Democratic candidate’s presidential campaign. “If there’s anything I could ever do that would have alleviated this level of attention,...

Trey Gowdy's House Select Committee on Benghazi will be making public new documents demonstrating Clinton crony, Sidney Blumenthal (blackballed from US govt employment) was seeking business in Libya at the same time he was advising then-SoS Hillary Clinton on US policy in Libya. Chairman Trey Gowdy's lengthy letter to Cong Elijah Cummings, ranking Committee Democrat, said that, on at least one occasion, Clinton sought to aid Blumenthal's business interests in Libya. Gowdy's 13-page letter to Cummings also details new concerns about compromised security on Clinton's email, noting that in one unsecured email Blumenthal appears to name a top CIA source...

Longtime Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin is scheduled to testify before the House committee investigating the 2012 terrorist attacks in Benghazi, Libya, in the coming weeks. Chairman Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) told reporters on Thursday that Abedin would appear before a closed-door meeting of the committee at some point before Clinton’s public testimony on Oct. 22. Abedin serves a top role in Clinton’s front-running 2016 presidential campaign and was her deputy chief of staff during Clinton’s time as secretary of State. Abedin is also the wife of former Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.). The news about her appearance came after another former...

Full Title: Hillary Clinton on Benghazi committee: ‘If I were president ... I would have done everything to shut it down’Fresh off her appearance on “Saturday Night Live,” Hillary Clinton returned to the serious issues facing her presidential campaign on Monday, telling the “Today” show’s Savannah Guthrie that the congressional committee on Benghazi should’ve been shut down by now. “This committee was set up, as they have admitted, for the purpose of making a partisan political issue out of the deaths of four Americans,” an angry Clinton said during the town hall-style interview in New Hampshire. “I would never...

Does this woman have any shame? Democratic presidential contender Hillary Clinton took offense to remarks by House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy that the ongoing House select committee investigation into the Benghazi attacks is hurting her campaign, and used members of the U.S. military as political pawns in disparaging the probe. Clinton appeared Wednesday on MSNBC’s “PoliticsNation” and told host Al Sharpton that McCarthy’s comment “demonstrates unequivocally that this was always meant to be a partisan political exercise.” She then claimed the pursuit for answers to why four Americans died in the attack is somehow an affront not only to those...

House Republicans on Wednesday sharply repudiated Rep. Kevin McCarthy's comments that suggested the Benghazi oversight committee had succeeded by tarnishing Hillary Clinton, saying it undermined their party's messaging on a key issue and raised questions about his ability to be the GOP's top communicator. The California Republican, who is the leading contender to become the next speaker of the House, said Tuesday night that the GOP-led Congress had succeeded by bringing down Clinton's poll numbers because of the long-runninig investigation into the 2012 terror attack that killed four Americans. "Everybody thought Hillary Clinton was unbeatable, right?" McCarthy said on Fox...
