HUGH AND SERIES!!!

[Seizethecarp]

Hicks: “I’ve been demoted to desk officer. Before that I was functionally unemployed for a long time.” (In obvious retaliation for going off the reservation on the day Susan Rice lied about the video)

[penelopesire]

Dittos!!

I made that tagline shortly after Benghazi and I am not changing it until that man answers for his complete failure to our troops and country!!

[Lexinom]

Hicks: "I was essentially demoted to desk officer."

POLITICAL RETALIATION
They wanted him dead, hence no rescue attempt.
If there aren't indictments for this... we no longer have liberty and justice for all.

-— The trick here is to keep dripping information ... one drop at a time. It’s going to be a long summer. -——

Yes, but there’s always something, like, “watch out for sharks at the beach this summer!”

[GeorgeWashingtonsGhost]

Also, more talk about Woods and Doherty's timeline in the face of being told to stand down is in order.. Desperately.

They SHOULD BE discussing THAT THESE TWO SPECIFICALLY COULD HAVE BEEN RESCUED AND BE ALIVE TODAY, had dereliction, negligence and lies not immediately occurred even during the attack.

I think there is a Gosnell verdict. Not sure, I have so many iPads and tvs on I could be delusional. Haven’t been this busy since my wedding night.

[crosslink]

Yes but 15 were special forces assigned to the “facility” per some sources.

Plus Hicks was demoted and out of a job for some time.

[Viennacon]

It looks like they’ve run out of rat questioners. Just our guys left now.

[penelopesire]

Wow...also demoted for talking to Chaffetz!!

[MWestMom]

Why was Hicks demoted?

---

He felt it was as a result of asking Beth Jones the question about Susan Rice’s comments on the Sunday talk circuit.

[Norm Lenhart]

Someone with a name demoted reassigned whatever this man.

[NoGrayZone]

YES, trained to go to HOT SPOTS!!!

[thouworm]

Sept 17 cable from Obama to Pres of Libya

“outrageous attack”

Issa: it doesn’t talk about us working together to fight terrorism, does it.

[no-to-illegals]

We are trained to respond to hot spots per Mr. Hicks. Implication we were not allowed to respond.

[ColdOne]

Is the hearing still going on?

[rockabyebaby]

Jodi Arias verdict to be read in about an hour....

[MustKnowHistory]

Thanks! I missed Beth Jones’ name.

[Viennacon]

Yep
