hmph... i never knew the kid that was cooperating was killed before he could give evidence.

also looks like the FBI was in on the hit... unless it was his mom

progressives want power and control and they’ll gladly kill you to get it.

Not for nothing...but I believe she went after him deliberately to bring him down

Possibly (by which I mean No), I think she was trying to protect him from the Kelleydasian sisters. It didn't work because they had already ensnared General Allen and the FBI agent as protectors.

Here’s more on Harris from the link.

On March 22, 2008, The Washington Times reported the investigation, lead by Acting Inspector General William E. Todd and the chief IG branch investigator, James B. Burch, a former U.S. Secret Service agent, focused on the mid-level employee of The Analysis Corp. who was not terminated. The employee inadvertently triggered alarms that finally alerted State Department officials after he looked into the passport files of both McCain and Obama.

Lieutenant Quarles Harris Jr.

On April 5, 2008, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Passport Services Ann Barrett resigned from her post after a credit card scheme using US passport date was uncovered by the security probe. State Department Spokesman Tom Casey told The Washington Times that 24-year-old Lieutenant Quarles Harris Jr. told federal authorities he obtained “passport information from a co-conspirator who works for the U.S. Department of State.”

From The Washington Times report:

The investigation began after Metropolitan Police on March 25 pulled over Mr. Harris in Southeast on suspicion that the windows of his vehicle were tinted too darkly.

After searching Mr. Harris and his vehicle, police found marijuana and 21 credit cards that were not issued in his name or the name of a female passenger with him. Police also found eight printouts of State Department passport applications, and four of the names on the applications matched four of the credit cards.

Upon questioning by agents from the U.S. Secret Service, U.S. Postal Service and State Department, Mr. Harris “admitted he obtained the passport information” from a State Department employee, court documents say.

Mr. Harris also said the fraud ring submitted credit-card applications using the names and “identifying information” of the persons listed on the passport applications, and that a postal service employee then would intercept the cards before they were delivered to the appropriate residences.

Then, on April 17, 2008, Lt. Harris was found fatally shot dead slumped over the steering wheel of his car in front of the Judah House Praise Baptist Church in Northeast DC. The Washington Times reported that Lt. Harris was a key witness cooperating with the federal probe into the State Department security breach. Lt. Harris’ mother, Cleopatra Harris, told ABC affiliate WJLA-TV that she believed her son’s murder may have been due to his role in the federal investigation.

“Yes I do. I think it had a hell of a lot to do with it,” Mrs. Harris said. “[The story] made my son appear to be a snitch.”

The incident was reminiscent of a breach of Bill Clinton’s passport information during the 1992 presidential campaign, when an FBI investigation was launched after the State Department reported that someone had ripped out pages from his passport file from the late 1960s and ’70s.

The department concluded that a search of Clinton’s passport records was an attempt to influence the presidential election, reportedly by trying to show that Clinton tried to seek citizenship in another country to avoid the draft.

Then-State Department Inspector General Sherman Funk found no evidence the White House ordered department staffers to dig for political dirt in Clinton’s passport files. However, Funk said the White House probably knew it was happening.

Petraues was betrayed by Obama, nobody else.

Obama has been purging the military of its expert leaders. He took Petraues out of the job that Petraues was eminently qualified for, and put him behind a desk. What did anyone think a front-line military leader would do when he's no longer on the font-line?

Petraeus must have gotten bored with civilian life, hence his descending into an affair. If he'd have been left on the front lines to do his job, I doubt this would have happened.

Obama has been finding excuses to fire his top commanders one after another, with Petraues, McChrystal, Mattis, Ham...

see State Department. The hit came from inside State is my best guess. Heck just look who was in charge of the place. State is known as a rouge agency that operates outside of directions and directives. Hitlery was placed in charge. Hitlery and BillyBoy knew it was the best place to hide and run rouge and more than likely demanded control of the State Department as political payoff for supporting Obama in 2008. Need a hit ... contact the State Department. Think Obama and Ambassador Stevens.

Brennan was a ceo of a company that did work for the State Dept. Seems passports was part of the work.
Harris was a drug dealer and who knows what else.

From your link;

“Brennan’s hit squads were assigned to take out individual al Qaeda chiefs within Libya without drawing too much attention to themselves.”

“The authors say that it’s a “media myth” that the diplomats’ cries for help were denied; in fact, at every stage of the game, aid was vigorous.”

...Webb and Murphy say Benghazi attack was a retaliation for secret raids authorized by Obama security adviser John Brennan...

Isn't Brennan a Muslim convert? Isn't that something more common among Western prisoners, criminals and pedophiles? Usually middle class whites don't become Muslim... Does anyone have statistics on Christian to Muslim conversion among whites?

I know hillary is capable of anything. But if I had to guess she seemed gun shy of having anything pinned on her at all since Benghazi happened.She was all but hiding,flying anywhere to get out of the country, hitting her head, etc., etc., testifying the very last day.I doubt she was out front on anything. But her subordinates who knows.

hilly is capable of anything. hilly knew. panetta knew. obama knew. Some others knew including huma and valerie. The list is long. brennan knew. The list will continue to grow. Americans have to wait and see if the republicans and the lamestream drive-bys will go after the guilty, or will the corruption again be swept under the rug. From experience ... experience tells me all will be swept under the rug. All dirt is done in said manner in D.C. Have to keep the money flowing. There is no money flow without criminals aiding said flow.
