On the third anniversary of the Benghazi terrorist attack, emails reviewed by Fox News raise significant questions about US government support for the secret shipment of weapons to the Libyan opposition.
During the Spring of 2011, as the Obama administration ramped up efforts to topple the Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi, a licensed American arms dealer, Marc Turi, his business partner formerly with the CIA, senior US military officials in Europe and Africa as well as a former staffer for republican Senator John McCain considered logistics for arming the rebels, according to the emails exclusively obtained by Fox Business and Fox News.
Turi is facing federal trial this December on two counts that he allegedly violated the arms export control act by making false statements. Turi denies the charges, and alleges there was a rogue weapons operation run with the knowledge of Mrs. Clinton's state department.
The email dated March 22, 2011 was sent by Admiral James Stavridis, when he was the Supreme Allied Commander Europe, from his government email account to Turi's business partner David Manners.
The email was also copied to General Carter Ham, then head of the defense department's Africa command. Stavridis vouches for Manners as a United States Naval Academy classmate and "former CIA Officer with deep connections throughout the near Middle East."
Also copied on the email is Mike Kostiw who worked for Senator John McCain until February 2011 on the Senate Armed Services committee. It is not known from the emails reviewed by Fox whether the parties responded, or whether others were brought into the discussion.
Stavridis tells Manners "The person in charge of the operation from a US DoD perspective is General Carter Ham, the commander of AFRICOM... Clearly, what you are describing is a State Department lead." ..... < snip >

Document 55, exhibit F, contains an email from the Russian [businessman], stating "I sent you an email days back and no answer from you....anyhow, Mr. Stevens the American embassedor (sic) in benghazi (sic) has been informed of the arrangement...and things should be ok."
seems like deliberate media leak hemorhagging (drip drip)
designed to keep Hillary the Unwiped off balance(?)
Save

Turi said support for arming the Libyan rebels came from the most senior levels of the US government. Turi's claim is consistent with a Reuters news service exclusive report from March 31, 2011 that stated "President Barack Obama has signed a secret order authorizing covert U.S. government support for rebel forces seeking to oust Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi
Turi and his company, Turi Defense Group deny they shipped any weapons, arguing their concept to use an Arab ally instead, so there would be a "zero foot print" for the US government, was used but without strong security and vetting procedures in place.
March 2011 was a busy time for Hillary Clinton. Even today, congressional investigators doubt they have all of the emails from her personal server when she was Secretary of State. On March 14th, 2011, along with Chris Stevens, who was then the number two man in Libya serving as the embassy's deputy chief of mission, Clinton met with Libya's Mustafa Jibril in Paris-- a senior member of the TNC. The next day, Secretary Clinton met with Egypt's new foreign minister Nabil el Arabi in Cairo and walked through Tahrir Square with her senior adviser Huma Abedin. At the same time, Turi's proposal, a 267-million dollar contract, was working its way through US government channels.
It does seem like that. Someone is orchestrating this.
If Obama thinks the GOP will win, what will he do? Could it be they want to rush out more news about Hillary ASAP to force her out of the race so there is time for a replacement? Was the goal all along to destroy her, or was it an “accident”?
That's beyond a doubt. This is key:
...if you don't want a US footprint-any type of US entities that's subject to subpoena powers - what do you do? You outsource it and that's what they did."
Turi and his company, Turi Defense Group deny they shipped any weapons, arguing their concept to use an Arab ally instead, so there would be a "zero foot print" for the US government, was used but without strong security and vetting procedures in place.
In other words, in order to keep their hands clean, they "outsourced" it to less than up-and-up muzzies.
It seems that what happened is that those unvetted muzzies let the cat out of the bag on the operation and we wound up with a dead ambassador and dead security personnel.
Stevens and those contractors blood is on the hands of Hillary Clinton and Barack Hussein Obama.
But what difference does it make.
Eeww, no pictures please.
So what were these “secret” Benghazi weapons? I was hoping that they were what was leaking out about them right after the September 11, 2012 attack. Instead there was nothing about the U.S. sourced shoulder-fired surface-to-air missiles that were floating through the region from Turkey. I wondered when one of them would shoot down an Israeli passenger jet. I suspected that Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 may have been a practice shot launched from a freighter like what speculation says happened to TWA 800.
Yup, many of us are beginning to smell a new fart. Thank goodness we're not in an elevator. I think Hillary may be suffering chronic constipation.
They weren’t even as clever as Ollie North was
Close to smoking gun?
Two peas in a pod.
We all know what this was about, sadly 4 good American were sacrificed to keep hillary and others out of the papers.
Hillary AND John McCain are up to their eyeballs in ILLEGAL ARMS DEALING....and ILLEGAL assassination of Country Leaders!!!! LOTS of BLOOD on their hands....LOTS!
And HOW MUCH of that 267 MILLION DOLLAR deal went into the Clinton Family SLUSH FUND????
Benghazi ping.
Let Republicanprofessor know if you want on or off this ping list.
