Obama administration pressured Fox News to back off Benghazi reporting
americanthinker.com ^ | 9/7/2014 | Carol Brown

Posted on 09/07/2014 6:15:18 AM PDT by rktman

This past Friday, Greta Van Susteren reported on numerous ways the Obama administration has made it difficult for reporters to investigate Benghazi. Van Susteren said that it’s been “like pulling teeth” trying to get answers and that “the Obama administration’s behavior post-Benghazi has been weird; like they’re hiding something.”

She went on to say that as Fox News continued to investigate and press for answers, the administration’s behavior got “even weirder. She noted two major press conferences – one with the State Department and one with the CIA – when Fox News was not invited.

Hey didn’t Obama recently “out” a CIA station chief somewhere in the middle East and he didn’t get in trouble for it. Why can’t the three Benghazi guys tell us who “BOB” is. I want to know who gave the stand down order. But I know hell will freeze over before this happens. Gotta keep those CIA agents undercover don’t ya know.

Exactly, and most news reporters are too dim/unaware to ask the correct questions, so the obfuscation works.

I don’t know what Greta’s motives are or where her true loyalties lie, but I always maintain a healthy dose of skepticism. All scientologists are suspect in my book.

That describes Obama's career from Day One.

A man that is so cowardly he did not even have the guts to send others to risk their lives to save those he was responsible for. He, and he alone, was responsible for the safety those in Benghazi. That’s what a commander does.

He's not a coward, he's a TRAITOR!

He clearly stated he would side with the moslems.

Of course, since he wasn’t raise as an American, and cannot relate to the American people, maybe TRAITOR is not the right term.

He’s an ENEMY AGENT.

No, you had it right the first time. Gowdy chairs the special committee hearings on Benghazi

Greta reported all of this at least six months ago. It was about the time Rosen was being investigated that Greta opened up about the call she got to silence Griffin.

Greta and her husband John Coale were partners in the law firm Coale and Van Susteran. In early 92 I had the old stainless steel pedicle rods, plates and screws put in my lumbar spine. A few years later I got a thick packet from Coale and Van Susteran for a class action law suit. The suit is often called-” pedicle screwed.” It was against Acromed and Isola. Greta and husband made a lot of money off that alone.

I thought these guys were not telling all, too. It is obvious that at least two other CIA types were killed as the Agency does hire SPECOPS types for contract work and also career work. Now, these three claim Bob was the main CIA type or at least infer that. We know each embassy has a CIA station Chief, yet; this one was loaded with CIA types due to arming a faction or two in Syria. Also a SF Team had just recently left this place. I believe we are still not getting the truth as it appears these were very low ranking former military types who worked for Blackwater or at least that is what I heard.

The ambassador was supposed to be captured.

The Operators had “Balls the Size of Cue Balls?” according to a ticked off Biden as he awkwardly told the father of Tyrone Woods when his body was being returned.

This was my experience too in CCS,MACVSOG as we had to have Nixon’s approval to keep crossing into Cambodia plus for any rule changes and the AF needed explicit approval from him for the secret bombings and we needed his OK to put more then a recon team on the ground on 4/24/1969 west of the Fishhook for a BDA in what was COSVN HQ.

He simply walked out not caring.

“Okay guys, keep your eye on the situation and let me know what the casualty count gets up to, I have a fund raiser tomorrow and I have things to do to get ready for it.”

And he might kick some a**, too.

Not that anyone outside FNC viewers will see or hear about it.
