Instead of exploding against the body of the helicopter, as designed, the missile lodged and broke apart in the engine nacelle. The alert pilot managed a hard-landing, and everyone on board the Chinook walked away. Crash investigators subsequently discovered pieces of the Stinger lodged in the engine nacelle, including a portion of the missile casing that included a serial number.
That serial number tracked back to a lot of Stingers that had been signed out to the CIA in Camp Arifjan, Kuwait, in early 2011, and transferred to the government of Qatar, my U.S. Special Forces informant told me.
The email, which is now the subject of a Reddit thread, begins with a breathtaking claim:
Ambassador Stevens was sent to Benghazi, post haste, in order to retrieve US-made Stinger missiles supplied to Ansar al Sharia without Congressional oversight or permission. Hillary brokered the deal through Stevens and a private arms dealer named Marc Turi. Then some of the shoulder-fired missiles ended up in Afghanistan used against our own military.
The only true statement in that opener is the final sentence. (The Justice Department recently dropped all charges against Marc Turi because they knew full well he never consummated any arms sales to the Libyan rebels and bowed out once his arms export license request for Qatar was denied).
Ambassador Stevens was sent to Benghazi for two reasons. The first, as noted by his number two in Libya, State Department career diplomat Greg Hicks, was to certify that the State Department could officially open Benghazi as a permanent constituent post. Hillary Clinton wanted to travel to Benghazi for a photo op, to take a victory lap for her success in ousting Colonel Qaddafi.
But Mrs. Clinton did not want to ask Congress for a special appropriation for Benghazi, since that would have led to an investigation into security procedures at the facility. So she instructed Stevens to travel to Benghazi as soon as he returned from his European vacation in early September. The plan was to use leftover funds from Iraq to operate Benghazi as a full-fledged consulate. But those funds had to be obligated by September thirtieth to avoid Congressional scrutiny, Hicks testified.
No arms deal. No Stingers. No do-or-die mission, as the lurid email claims. Just a Hillary Clinton vanity project that cost the lives of four Americans.
It was the State Department, not the CIA that supplied [the Stingers] to our sworn enemies, because Petraeus wouldnt supply these deadly weapons due to their potential use on commercial aircraft, the email goes on.
I am still unclear as to who authorized the transfer of the Stingers to the CIA, and from the CIA, to the Qataris. That would be an excellent subject for a Freedom of Information Act request.

Maybe it had something to do w HRC & State Dept scooping up Qaddafi’s MAPADS, selling them to ISIS in Syria to use against Russian aircraft & AQ using them against us in A stab, & trans shipping them through Benghazi.
You hit that nail on the head NIKK.
Glad to hear it,” Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) tweeted in response to a video of Trump saying he would “put world peace ahead of politics.”
I know!
Did you notice that when the Prez and Putin were standing side-by-side at the end, it seemed like the Prez intended not to emphasize their difference in stature?

Transcript has just been posted on a thread of its own. Might want to save to check against MSM interpretation.
Let’s see the Secret Service raid Mueller’s home at 3 a.m. and haul him in for questioning! Then Mueller can be put in solitary confinement for 23 hours a day.....for his own safety, ya know.
Sorry don’t know how to post pictures, but the one that springs to mind is the beautiful yellow, black and white print long Pucci dress when she went to India to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Another one, which actually happens to be one of my favorites, was the black pantsuit with the wide gold belt when they deplaned In Saudi Arabia.
Thank you Laura a d thank you LG for posting!
Yeah, that fashion statement caught on quick...😳
That’s very kind of you. Thanks so much Nikki.

There is no reason for President Trump to allow an allegation made by a hostile media and Democrat opponents, for self-serving reasons, to undermine his efforts to pursue our interests through diplomacy. He is correct that the phony "collusion" allegation has hurt U.S. interests.
Someone needs to give Judith Regan a valium! My GAWD, the gal is in apoplexy over POTUS meeting, and screw “fair and balanced”
