State Department's Benghazi review panel under investigation, Fox News confirms

James Rosen

The State Department's Office of Inspector General is investigating the special internal panel that probed the Benghazi terror attack for the State Department, Fox News has confirmed.

The IG's office is said by well-placed sources to be seeking to determine whether the Accountability Review Board, or ARB -- led by former U.N. Ambassador Thomas Pickering and former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Adm. Mike Mullen -- failed to interview key witnesses who had asked to provide their accounts of the Benghazi attacks to the panel.

The IG's office notified the department of the "special review" on March 28, according to Doug Welty, the congressional and public affairs officer of the IG's office.

This disclosure marks a significant turn in the ongoing Benghazi case, as it calls into question the reliability of the blue-ribbon panel that then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton convened to review the entire matter. Until the report was concluded, she and all other senior Obama administration officials regularly refused to answer questions about what happened in Benghazi.

Clinton - Christie 2016. You heard it hear first.

MSNBC's Chris Matthews was gushing over Christie's BS remark yesterday. That confirmed it for me.

The parts I find most astounding - We already know that Obama/Hilary went worldwide with the preposterous video story, and that forces in Europe should have been dispatched, AND that Obama walked out and left others to handle it. They are guilty in plain site.

oh this is just old now, lets move on

ARF

A cover up more than Watergate it looks like just like the cover up over fast and furious and the lies over Boston and the lets move on with FT Hood but this media is so corrupt that only one news network can actually ask questions about any of this.

How about the guy who was jailed over this video. Has he been charged with any crimes? Who is he really? And where is anyone in the media on his side? What does he know?
He is a political prisoner.
NO ONE in the US media including Rush/Hannity or Fox is even asking these questions.
WTF?

One theory is that Iran was behind the Benghazi attack and the murder of the U.S. ambassador. This would be in retaliation for a U.S. funded project to supply Syrian rebels with Libyan small arms.

This scenario may seem far fetched but it would explain the purposely delayed investigation by the FBI and Obama’s reluctance to apprehend the perpetrators.

out of all of this and what makes me mad just as much as everything else and no one is seeming to be pissed off about it is how Obama was informed of the attack and he went to bed and went to sleep as Americans were under attack and dying.

Bush got flamed over him sitting there not scaring kids on 9/11 and yet when their man is in charge he goes to bed getting ready for Vegas and not a frigging peep from anyone , not even our side

he went to bed and sleep as Americans were under attack and dying and it seems no one is pissed off about that.

For me that is one of the worst acts Obama has done as it shows he could not have cared less and just passed his job onto others while Americans died

I don't see what the big deal is.

Just yesterday, WH Press Secy Jay Carney said that "Benghazi happened a long time ago"!

Obama just did not pass his job on but he went to bed and to sleep as others were under attack and dying.

How could anyone and I mean anyone go to bed and go to sleep as he knew people right at that time in another country was dying and those who were under attack were waiting for hours for help and yet their CIC said screw this I have t go to Vegas I;m off to bed you deal with this crap I have an election

They're investigating the panel they appointed to investigate themselves

I got a survey to fill out from my rep. Normally I don’t bother to send them back. This time though I added that President Nixon was impeached over Watergate, even though no one died there. Then I brought up the Fast and Furious scandal were people died and the Benghazi scandal where 4 people including the Ambassador got killed in a terrorist attack. I asked my rep to bring it up for impeachment hearings

They'll use this as an excuse for stonewalling...."We can't comment while the investigation is being investigated."

Brilliant!

ADM Mike Mullen. There was a time when military men who lied like hell would have been court martialed and faced a firing squad. We need a George Washington type to step up.

I believe he killed them intentionally, as if he had pulled the trigger himself.

Killing Americans. What Obama does best.
