Benghazi investigators gave Hillary Clinton heads-up on findings
Washington Times ^ | September 19, 2013 | Stephen Dinan

The leaders of the State Department’s Benghazi probe defended their inquiry into the 2012 attack, but they acknowledged to Congress on Thursday that their mission was limited in scope and faced questions over why they gave Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton an advance look at their findings.

Retired Adm. Mike Mullen, vice chairman of the accountability review board, also acknowledged that he had warned Mrs. Clinton’s chief of staff not to send a particular official to Congress because he thought “she would be a weak witness” who might have hurt the State Department’s stance.

Republicans said those moves called into question the motives of the review, which was supposed to be an independent look at what went wrong in the attack and how to prevent others.

“If this is so independent, why are you giving the State Department a heads-up about a witness coming in front of this committee?” said Rep. Jim Jordan, Ohio Republican. He said the warning came just days after Adm. Mullen had been appointed to the review board.

...

Charles Woods, father of Tyrone Woods, one of the former SEALs who was killed in the attack, was not convinced.

“We need to ask the people that were there, not rely upon hearsay evidence as to whether or not there was an order to stand down,” he told the committee. “Ambassador Stevens was alive for a substantial period of time after he made that initial distress call. It’s very possible that there would have been no loss of life if that first order to stand down had not been given. We need to find that out.”

Please do your research I won’t. But begin BEFORE the assassinations, not after the attempts to cover-up.

“Seems zero learned a lot from the clinton mob.”

Start from the start. CLINTON learned...and inherited from bush the elder whose cronies kept gwb in line when he was in office from cheney to baker to powell. gw could only move so far on his own and that is why you never see him now. And the bushes were saudi guys.
the elder didn’t want gw to be president. HE wanted jeb and he said so, then literally cried on national TV over it. THEN he ‘adopted’ billy jeff to replace his own sons.
Lot more going on than what you think you see.
ohaha screwed himself when he turned over the saudi spoils, (Iraq and Afghanistan,) to iran. THAT was the big nono, the deal breaker. He didn’t follow orders when he wouldn’t attack assad in Syria and now he will pay the price.

If anyone disagrees with obama they’re called racists. If Hillary is not way ahead in the polls look for her to come out of the lesbian closet then her critics will be called homophobes.

But none of this matters. These people have gotten away with illegal activities for decades. I had hoped that Bush would prosecute all of the criminals. It didn’t happen.

did the accountability review board, ever question Secretary Clinton face to face?

No. They didn't question her. As a matter of fact, they reported to her.

The obamba/Chicago mobsters have been copying the Clinton mobsters/mcahine for years now. They blackmail, kill anyone that gets inthe way, threaten,use the irs against us,the similarities are endless. They do all the things that hill and bill did for years. They are far worse than the Clintons ever thought about being but they do use a lot of the same tactics.

You may be right I don’t know the guy. However,the regime does have a pattern of hiring loads of toads. You can’t begin to count the MB’s,muslims,gays,lezzies,communists,socialists,hard lefties or others that represent them.
Getting to the bottom of everyone who works or is associated with the regime would be a full time job I don’t have time for.

Yeah I'm well aware of all the loads of stuff on 41. Scares me if any of it is true. Even thought that I knew him one time.He has been coming here since 79. But, just because you thought you knew someone does not mean you do.

Thanks for the reminder.You research 10X what I do and I always respect your opinion.

You did WHAT, Admiral? Navy SEALs dead and you greased the skids for a miserable politician?

No honor at all, sir. That is a fundamental betrayal, a fundamental disgrace.
