House Republicans' Report Sheds New Light on Benghazi Attack
NBC News ^ | June 28, 2016 | by Andrea Mitchell

Posted on 06/28/2016 10:06:13 AM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

A long-awaited report on the 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi details an array of bureaucratic miscues and inter-agency blunders but does not specifically blame former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for events that led to the deaths of four Americans.

One section of the report seems to allege that U.S. officials fundamentally misunderstood who their allies were at the time.

The report found that 35 Americans were saved not by a "quasi-governmental militia" as previous reports concluded, or even a group the U.S. saw as allies. Instead, the report determines that the Americans were saved by the "Libyan Military Intelligence," a group composed of military officers under the Moammar Khaddafy regime.

"In other words, some of the very individuals the United States helped remove from power during the Libyan revolution were the only Libyans that came to the assistance of the US on the night of the Benghazi attacks," the report states.

NBC News was awaiting comment from the White House Tuesday on the report released by the Republican majority on the committee.

Judge Napolitano said last night on FOX that the weapons used were supplied to the terrorists by Clinton.

"does not specifically blame former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for events that led to the deaths of four Americans."

They make it sound like she does not bear any responsibility because she did not plan, organize and lead the attack on the consulate.

Already spun and the truth will never get out. Hillary is responsible for 4 American deaths.

America is finished.

Trump for President. May be to late for America to survive.

Yeah, so what, WHO WERE THE ATTACKERS, WHO SENT THEM AND WHY???!!! They called themselves the Abdel Rahman Brigade and were mostly Egyptians? Why is that information not even mentioned? Erased?

#s 1, 2, 3 and 7 were all on the State Dept. #5 may have come from Hillary too.

These are crimes. The President of the US should be impeached. Clinton should be in jail.

I haven’t gotten through the whole report yet, but the first few pages alone evidence the lies that the administration sold to the American public through the very corrupt media and talking heads.

Couldn’t even decide if military should wear civies or military uniforms and had them change 4 times? The gang that couldn’t shoot straight - and they’re making life and death decisions. This is so bad, so corrupt and so infuriating.
