In And Out: FBI Spends Less Than 24 Hrs in Benghazi (nothing to see here, move along now)
Andrew Breitbart's Big Peace ^

Posted on 10/05/2012 12:34:11 PM PDT by drewh

FBI came to Benghazi and left in past 24 hours By EILEEN SULLIVAN and LOLITA C. BALDOR Associated Press WASHINGTON A team of FBI agents arrived in Benghazi, Libya, to investigate the assault against the U.S. Consulate and left after about 12 hours on the ground as the hunt for those possibly connected to the attack that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans narrowed to one or two people in an extremist group, U.S. officials said Thursday.

Agents arrived in Benghazi before dawn on Thursday and departed after sunset, after weeks of waiting for access to the crime scene to investigate the Sept. 11 attack.

The agents and several dozen U.S. special operations forces were there for about 12 hours, said a senior Defense Department official who spoke anonymously because he was not authorized to speak publicly about the ongoing investigation. The FBI agents went to "all the relevant locations" in the city, FBI spokeswoman Kathy Wright said. The FBI would not say what, if anything, they found.

Killed in the attack were Stevens, a State Department computer expert and two security agents who were former Navy SEALS. Al-Qaida-linked militants are believed responsible.

Attorney General Eric Holder said people should not assume that "all that we could do or have been doing" in the investigation is restricted solely to Benghazi.

"I'm satisfied with the progress," Holder said Thursday. He said there were a variety of other places inside and outside Libya where "all these things could be done and have been done and that the matter has been under active investigation."

Too bad the Muslim Brotherhood did the attack. Ooops. I suppose they made sure any evidence of that was removed. Cover-up.

No point in them being there. The crime scene is a wreck and completely “contaminated” and the agents are just exposed to attack.
I do hope they had the sense to rake up all the documents, shred them, and burn them.

"I'm satisfied with the progress," Holder said

Typical holder response?

We no longer have a Justice Department.

We have an agency run by a bigot racist, whose sole purpose is protecting he bigot racist in the White House.

I would bet that most FBI agents today do not tell their neighbors where they work. It isn’t your old FBI any longer, just another offshoot of the DNC.

More taxpayer money thrown down the toilet.
This time it was to build a CYA scenario for Hitlery and O’Bambo.

Now they can say:

“Yes, we did send the FBI into Muzzie Land to investigate the embassy attack and murders.
After all - it was the right thing to do after the tragic loss of our fellow Americans.”

Real conflicts flare up during next president’s term, and it is all Romney’s fault.

“It Happened Under Romney’s Watch”, we’ve all heard this before.

Where's the Teddy Bear?

Serious note:

It took THREE C-130s to deliver the team?
Either armored vehicles or a whole bunch of boots.

That’s more security than Stevens had.

Holder’s law firm represents the terrorists, so ever since obambi was selected, terrorists have had full access to America, it’s a wonder holder has not helped coordinate attacks inside America.

What can be accomplished by US investigators in foreign country that is a mish-mach of gangs (militias) with allegiance to AQ or at best, to no one.

Crime scene was seriously compromised within hours of the murder. Neighborhood investigation impossible. Interviews of witnesses questionable.

What did Holder expect to accomplish?
