WASHINGTON — CIA officers revealed a clash over how quickly they should go help the besieged U.S. ambassador during the 2012 attack on an outpost in Libya, and a standing order for them to avoid violent encounters, according to a congressman and others who heard their private congressional testimony or were briefed on it.

The Obama administration has been dogged by complaints that the White House, Pentagon and State Department may not have done enough before and during the attack to save U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three others, and by accusations that it later engaged in a cover-up.

Likely our POTUS went to bed, told Valerie to handle it and she gave the stand down order. We will be lucky to ever find out the truth.

The State Dept. and the CIA were “secretly” using the Benghazi compound to illegally funnel arms through Turkey to Syrian rebels. The presence of a proper security detail would have jeopardized the operation by attracting unwanted attention. Those involved in the Benghazi operation had to have known the inherent risks. Having said that, I believe it is criminal that our “leaders” didn’t have a contingency plan in place to quickly evacuate our people when things went bad and our “leaders” should be held accountable for their dereliction of duty. That’s on top of their illegal arms running.

Satan's "familiar" is probably the one that passed the order.
But I seriously doubt that the ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEF did NOT order them to "STAND DOWN" .
He wanted deny-ability and that was the only way to get it.
So Jarrett falls on the guilty block.
But who's going to remove her?
The LAWLESS ONE certainly isn't, and neither is his corrupt so-called Department of Justice.
Congress doesn't have the guts to IMPEACH him;
and the Senate, even if the GOP takes it in 2014 and gets "sworn in" in 2015, isn't going to Convict him, so long as the "Establishment Republicans" are calling the moves.

So again, who's going to do something about it?
But then again, "No good deed goes un-punished!"

Sorry I don't think it works that way. I think its all val/jar all the time calling most if not all the shots. She may run it by Barry when its over and then tell him something like;

Hey Barry better get over to Vegas for a fund raiser before the questions start....

You are right.
The only thing that may be “done” is - Issa may have a brief hissy fit, and then nothing will happen.

My guess is she just moved over from the Chicago mobsters where she was the consigliere there and now is head mobster for the obama regime.He’s only a name/front man, little else, IMHO.

Feels like an excuse for a non-existent issue signifying nothing.
