Wapo is on the side of whoever is against the United States.
If a Dem had been CIC when this happened the WP would be singing a far different tune.
The Deep State enemy we face includes a pan-national alliance of intelligence apparatuses that support each other as the CIA and WaPo support one another.
An example of their working is the Barry/Clintons/Kerry-supported attack on Benghazi and associated ruse on the American public (purposeful neglect of Stephens security, claims about the video, the film-maker arrest, the Egyptian 9/11/2012 protest, Susan Rice, media face-time, etc.) with the goal of supporting the budding ISIL (ptui!) with Libyan weapons, American taxpayer-supplied currency, logistics, intelligence, and other valuables.
