Pat Smith, mother of slain State Department officer Sean Smith, who died in the September 11, 2012, attack on an American consulate in Benghazi, tore into the federal government and their efforts to investigate that deadly attack on Tuesday. In an interview with CNN host Jake Tapper, Smith said that she blames former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for failing to ensure her staff was secure and for not taking blame for that failure after they were killed in the line of duty.
“How are you holding up?” Tapper asked Smith.
“Terrible,” she replied as her voice broke with emotion. “I cry every night. I don’t sleep at night. I need answers.”
“Why was there no security for him when they were supposed to have security, and the security that they did have was called back?” Smith asked. “It’s just things do not add up and I’m just told lies.”
SNIP
Tapper played a portion of former Sec. Clinton’s testimony before Congress in which she asked “what difference, at this point, does it make” what the impetus behind the attack on the consulate was.
“Well, that’s what I want to know,” Smith shot back. “Why did it happen? And she is in charge. Why couldn’t she do something about it? I blame her.”
“That’s her department. She’s supposed to be on top of it, and yet she claims that she knows nothing – it wasn’t told to her,” Smith said. “Who’s running the place?”

Heartwrenching. I hope tomorrow is the beginning of the end of the search for the truth for this woman, the other families and the American people.
As evil they are, as inept they are, as crooked as they are, as corrupt as they are, they are who the voters of America said, via their votes,they wanted to be in charge of the United States of America. Not once but twice. Everything after this I will leave unsaid.
CNN’s broadcasting this? Wow, they’ve chosen 0bama over the Hildabeast.
WOW, CNN aired this....
I want to be happy, but I gotta watch the other hand...
I blame Obama. And Axelrod.
Come now, Mrs Smith - “What difference does it make?” /sarc
She sure knows how to get the GOOBers in the Senate to wet themselves when she scolded them during their “hearing”. If I had been one of those Senators sitting there when she went off on them, I WOULD HAVE JACKED HER @$$ UP.

The mother of slain State Department Information Officer Sean Smith said she has appealed for answers to senior Obama administration officials, including then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and then Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta.
“I told every one of them personally nose to nose — just tell me what happened,” she explained. “Whisper in my ear if it’s classified, and I won’t tell anybody. But at least it will put things to rest for me. But they won’t do that.”
Smith said she was contacted by a “clerk” a couple of days after the incident, who read her an official timeline of the attack, but refused to provide additional details of her son’s death.
The administration has insisted that Smith is not considered part of her son’s immediate family.
“The only thing that they will tell me is I’m not a member of the immediate family,” she said. “And I don’t understand that because I still remember the labor pains, which was quite a while ago.”

Flashback:
In the interview with Glenn, Woods detailed his encounters with the top members of the Obama administration, including the President himself.
“I’m a retired attorney for six years I was an administrative law judge and in the several thousands cases I heard my job was to tell who was telling the truth and who wasn’t,” Woods explained. “There were four pods at Andrews Air Force Base and when he (Obama) came over to where we were I could tell he was very conflicted person who was not at peace with himself. Shaking hands with him quite frankly was like shaking hands with a dead fish. His face was pointed towards me but he would not look me in the eye. His eyes were over my shoulder and not in a forceful voice said ‘I’m really sorry Mr. Woods.’”
“And I could tell he was not sorry. He had no remorse,” Woods continued.
“The Vice President was also there,” Woods explained. “He said ‘I’m Joe Biden’. He said he had received one of these ‘damn phone calls’ when he had lost a family member. And then about a half hour later he approached me and said – and these are the exact words he said I don’t speak like this – quote and in an extremely loud and boisterous voice he said: ‘Did your sons always have balls the size of cueballs?’”
“I will ask you the question: Is that the voice of someone who is truly sorry?” Woods asked Glenn.
Glenn was most taken aback by the story of what Hillary Clinton told Woods. For over a week, the White House has been trying to push the narrative that President Obama said from the beginning that the attack on the embassy was a terrorist attack, not the a protest that got out of hand . But Clinton’s statements to Woods conflicted with that statement.
Woods explained, “I do appreciate her taking the time from her schedule to meet with the four families. While we were in the pod over there with our family she came over shook my hand and I reached out and hugged her shoulder. Her countenance was not good. And she made the statement to me that first of all she was sorry and then she said ‘We will make sure the person who made that film is arrested and prosecuted.’ ”
Best thing that can come of this is a war between the Clinton and Obama camps. Obama is about to throw Clinton under the bus.
Question is, what will Hillary do? Her 2016 hopes are riding on tomorrow.

Apology for double-post.

I suppose Hillary will try to throw Patrick Kennedy under the bus. Read an article that Kennedy is a willing fall guy. He’s been there before and keeps climbing up the ladder.
Can’t locate the article where I saw that.
I blame Obama. And Axelrod.
And Jarrett.
The government has conveniently redefined what an immediate family member is.
She is "blood" related. Sean had half of her DNA. More so than two guys who decide to tie the knot in a sham matrimony.
This poor woman deserves the truth.

You bet. I would move to arrest her, immediately. Although, she has everything on these bastards. Otherwise, there is no way these supposed men, would take that kind of crap. Good.
He also had time for ‘pimp with a limp’.
