Emails obtained through a federal lawsuit show that two top aides to then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton were running interference internally during the 2012 Benghazi terror attack.
The aides were Philippe Reines, widely described as Clinton’s principal gate-keeper, and Cheryl Mills, who has been at Clinton’s side for decades.
The emails show that while receiving updates about the assault as it happened, Mills told then-State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland to stop answering reporter questions about the status of Ambassador Chris Stevens, who was missing and later found dead.
Also littered throughout the State Department emails, obtained by conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch, are references to a so-called Benghazi Group. A diplomatic source told Fox News that was code inside the department for the so-called Cheryl Mills task force, whose job was damage control.
The effort to stop Nuland from answering reporter questions also may have contributed to confusion over the nature of the attack. Clinton that night had put out the first statement wrongly linking the attack to a supposed protest sparked by an obscure, anti-Islam YouTube video – but that was never updated that night.
“Cheryl Mills was instrumental in making sure the big lie was put out there,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said.

Journalist Michael Hastings was investigating CIA Director John Brennan for an upcoming expose project prior to his tragic death in a car accident, the reporter’s wife, Elise Jordan, confirmed. XETV-TV reporter Kimberly Dvorak claims sources had told her the exact same thing.
Additionally, an anonymous source recently provided the news station with “an alarming email” hacked from CIA contractor Strafor’s President Fred Burton. The email, which was posted on WikiLeaks, claimed that Brennan previously headed up the government’s effort to crackdown on investigative journalists.
“Brennan is behind the witch hunts of investigative journalists learning information from inside the beltway sources,” the alleged email reads. “Note — There is specific tasker from the WH to go after anyone printing materials negative to the Obama agenda (oh my.) Even the FBI is shocked. The Wonder Boys must be in meltdown mode…”

Hillary Clinton Aide Tells Reporter (Michael Hastings) To “F*** Off” And “Have A Good Life”

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano doesn’t believe in using email.
“I think email just sucks up time,” Napolitano told an incredulous group of reporters on Tuesday, speaking at a breakfast hosted by The Christian Science Monitor.
Napolitano, who said she doesn’t text or “Twitter” either, said she may use email “at some point,” but right now, it’s not in the cards.
“In many respects, in a job like mine, it’s inefficient,” Napolitano said, noting that she is briefed by staff frequently and prefers to use the phone for much of her work. “I stopped using email when I was attorney general of Arizona. I was like, ‘Why am I spending my time scrolling through this?’”

Cheryl Mills is human bug spray ---- aiming deadly chemicals at anyone who attempts to catch the Clintons scurrying to cover their ***es.
The Clintons have the survival instincts of a cockroach---once they infest your domain---its almost impossible to get rid of them.
WATCHING THE CLINTONS OPERATE IS A LESSON IN WHAT BEHAVIORAL SCIENTISTS CALL "NARCISSTIC IMMUNITY"--- They operate under the mantle of "narcisstic immunity"---that they are so good-hearted, so tolerant and compassionate. so astute, nothing can touch them.
The Clintons have the survival instincts of a cockroach---once they infest your domain---its almost impossible to get rid of them. Every move they make is laser-focused on political "survival".
“have a good life”. (Sounds like a veiled threat to me)
“Hastings, 33, was killed when his Mercedes coupe crashed into a tree just before 5 a.m. that morning, and details about the collision have been contested in the months since. A friend of Hastings said days later that the reporter believed he was being investigated by the government, and the anti-secrecy website WikiLeaks said one of their attorneys was contacted by Hastings”
Burton was involved with many things, including OBL raid; heres an old story, but relevant:
WOW! I hope the Clintons and Obamas go after each other with a vengeance. This is some incredible stuff about to burst out.
Pure evil Clinton cadre vs. pure evil Obama team. Man this could be a very interesting year. How I would love to see the two corrupt commie factions turn on each other!!
