60 Minutes confirms Benghazi is a real scandal, and you’ve been lied to
Legal Insurrection ^ | 10-27-2013 | William A. Jacobson

Posted on 10/27/2013 5:24:01 PM PDT by servo1969

60 Minutes had an absolutely devastating report on the Obama administration’s failure to protect Ambassador Chris Stevens and other Americans in Benghazi.

I’ll post the video when available (update – available and added), but the heart of the report is that there were clear and unequivocal warnings which were ignored, and the Obama administration lied about these warnings after the attack.

Hillary and Obama blamed a video and stood by the caskets perpetuating that lie.

And remember how almost all of the media obsessed with Mitt Romney’s statement over Benghazi, and colluded to ask Romney gotcha questions while downplaying and obfuscating what really happened.

60 Minutes said its investigation took almost a year.

Contrary to early WH statements, Benghazi was a planned, sophisticated attack by Al Qaeda against the barely protected American compound

— 60 Minutes (@60Minutes) October 27, 2013


Security officer Morgan Jones says hrs before the attack, Amb Stevens told him he was worried about security at the Benghazi compound

— 60 Minutes (@60Minutes) October 27, 2013


A security official says the attack in #Benghazi was no surprise b/c al Qaeda had posted their plots against U.K. and U.S. online

— 60 Minutes (@60Minutes) October 27, 2013


A CIA quick reaction force ignored orders to wait & went into the compound, where they repelled 60 terrorists & saved 5 Americans

— 60 Minutes (@60Minutes) October 27, 2013


“You are going to get attacked in #Benghazi,” a security official says he told Amb Stevens 3 months b/f the assault on the U.S. mission

— 60 Minutes (@60Minutes) October 27, 2013


Prior to the attack, Amb Stevens approved a cable to DC that said: “The al Qaeda flag has been spotted…flying over govt bldgs”

— 60 Minutes (@60Minutes) October 27, 2013


Wow. State Department refused to allow security guards to carry guns at the US mission in Benghazi. (h/t @60Minutes)

— Ken Gardner (@kesgardner) October 27, 2013


So is our media going to ask @HillaryClinton why she pushed a video story in front of flag draped coffins #60Minutes now says was a lie?

#cbs dropping #Benghazi facts on #60Minutes Quite eye opening

— Philip Gomez (@philgomez) October 27, 2013


Morgan Jones, Brit, trainer of Libyan guard warned the Libyan guards would flee in face of attack, which they did. #Benghazi #60Minutes

Wow. #60Minutes committing a random act of journalism by pointing out #HillaryClinton and @BarackObama's failure in #Benghazi.

Re 60 min: now you know these murderers were crazy angry about that video. Thanks Hillary. Thanks Susan Rice. Thanks Barry.

Watch these videos, and consider the cold hearts that blamed a video for political purposes when they knew it was not true:

I sure wish something would come of this."

If that "something" were justice, Traitorhillary and Traitorobama would be tried, convicted, and hanged.

As long as Demonrats and RINOs are in Congress, that something will be nothing.

America is lost to the communists Democrats and at its head is King Obama. The MSM is communists controlled and support the destruction of America. Hollywood is in King Obama’s back pocket. We are in deep crap and I can see no way our yet. The turnaround is when King Obama is impeached.

Well, they had to be sure that they got President Obama re-elected first.

After all, that is the first priority. I am uncertain why they feel that they are ok revealing this now.

Maybe they think it is “old news”.

Not as in-depth as I would have liked, but better than I thought it would be.

That's the way I feel about it. Although they did make it clear that the State Department was informed of the security concerns leading up to the attack, Hillary's name was never mentioned.

IT is up to us always has been.Hopefully Beck and Rush will pick up on this tomorrow and then Hannity and the big guy Mark Levin.

we can shake up these assclowns.The big test will be whether or not Boehner goes with amnesty in the House of starts looking into Benghazi. Its his call.If he goes with amnesty instead we are screwed.

“I couldn’t believe that CBS committed JOURNALISM.’

No they didn’t

Most of what was said has been known since just after the attack.

If they had done this before the last election then it would have been journalism. This is CYA so they make the non-biased claim. The time the news is reported is as important as the facts reported. They got the facts sort of right but missed the timing

Hillary would respond, but she’s busy picking up yet another award/medal/plaque for her service, patriotism, sterling integrity and bravery above-and-beyond yada yada dodging sniper fire, etc. etc. etc.

SOP for CBS. They run a watered-down version of the story when no one’s watching, then later if it ever comes up they can say “oh, we covered all that long ago...it’s a dead issue”

I have mentioned several times that a relatively good source has told me that after the first of the year, Benghazi will become a major career ending issue for prime people. Supposedly, Congress has significant information that will be released. They are waiting until things quiet down and they want focus going into the 2014 election. Sounds logical but who knows. Interestingly, this was told to me several months ago, BEFORE the Obamacare debacle, which has made me speculate that Obamacare could be a diversion and delay from Benghazi.

I think Hillary is being set up to take over and “correct” Barry’s mistakes. It will of course be the Republicans and Bushes fault.

They released this so it wouldn’t be an issue for Hillary in the future.

The 1st 1/2 black president must be a hero!

And next will the first female prez.
Then the first -- oh, perhaps -- homo prez.
Then the first homo prez "with children."

IOW, the next 20-something years will be designed to keep any voice of dissent squelched thru the typical Democommie ploy of crying "racism" or similar.
