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.

There’s the Statue of Liberty
But then there’s the “statute of limitations”
Doh
Its all about protecting Obama’s azz and preserving Hillary’s 2016 options.... These are sick individuals folks, and it’s all about them, not you or I or even for that matter, the country.......
nobama and his anti-American minions should be in prison.
Your comment and photo are exactly perfect.
That is my theory too. He went to bed and left orders he was not to be disturbed - so they didn't. He got up in the morning and delegated the response to the State Department as he left for a fundraiser in Nevada.
This is BS. Any investigation of Benghazi or anything else that’s carried out by the Obama administration will find NOTHING. An independent, non-federal agency may be the only way to get down to the truth. Hire the Russians for the job.
cool!
Next up: Sandy Berger to examine paperwork.
Don’t worry, though. He’ll be appointed by an official investigating commission on special investigations to investigate previous investigations.
Better yet, the Progressive Truth GeneratorTM
The military man, Mullen, sold out the military men who died in the firefight at Benghazi.
Thanks! That will come in handy someday here in Liberal Land (Ann Arbor, Michigan).
Don’t kid yourselves.
This just allows the State Dept to stonewall some more. They will say:
“The matter is under investigation by the Inspector General. We cannot comment and we cannot provide witnesses until they finish their investigation.”
Nothing more, nothing less. Attempt to shut down Congressional hearings.
You may be right, but on the surface it stinks of desperation. It’s my understanding that it is unprecedented for the IG to investigate the ARB.
I remember we all got our daily laugh when Bagdad Bob came on. Good video.
