Ambassador Chris Stevens’ family: Don’t blame Hillary Clinton for Benghazi
Yahoo News ^ | 6/29 | Dylan Stableford

Posted on 06/29/2016 9:22:46 AM PDT by TangledUpInBlue

Hillary Clinton said on Tuesday that the long-awaited report from the House Select Committee on Benghazi “found nothing” new on the Sept. 11, 2012, attack that killed four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens, during her tenure as secretary of state.

And Stevens’ family agrees.

“I do not blame Hillary Clinton or [former Defense Secretary] Leon Panetta,” Anne Stevens, MD, Chris’ sister who has served as the family spokesperson since his death, told the New Yorker’s Robin Wright. “They were balancing security efforts at embassies and missions around the world. And their staffs were doing their best to provide what they could with the resources they had.

“The Benghazi mission was understaffed,” she continued. “But, again, Chris knew that. It wasn’t a secret to him. He decided to take the risk to go there. It is not something they did to him. It is something he took on himself.”

Did Hillary send this family a lifetime supply of koolaid?

Really? I followed this story very closely since Day 1 and don't recall anybody from Ambassador Stevens family speaking out until about a month ago his supposed wife apprently talked, but it was so fast I missed it.

Fancy that. The machine got to them.... and the media will amplify them while ignoring the other families or dismissing them.

I do blame Hitlery. And Hussein. They’re Liars. And just because they’ve be able to convince a family of these lies doesn’t make me shrink from the facts.

Sounds a bit like Mary Jo Kopechne’s parents after Teddy gave them a big payoff.

Chris Stevens' family were given a choice in either making this statement, or receiving a gift of a vacation at this exclusive resort:

Stevens was an Obama tool. He was working with the secret CIA scheme of buying old Libyan SA-7s and other weapons and shipping them from Benghazi to Al Qeida and ISIS through Turkey. He and the Benghazi office were ARMING Al Qeida.

Benghazi was basically like Sinaloa fighting the Zetas. And that is why the denial of forces and the lies afterwards. CIA was covering the treason of switching sides in the war on terror after Libya.

When is it going to register with people that we don’t have any money? We’re trillions in the hole. We can’t even see daylight anymore.

I recently watched one of the half-hour news shows, first time in years, and the first three stories were:

We need more money to stop mosquitos by spraying pesticides in every neighborhood.

We need more money to pay for additional security screeners at the airports so lines can be shortened.

We need more money for after-school programs in urban centers.

There is no more money. It’s gone. We are so screwed as a country.

So... did the media make her the “family spokesperson” or did the family?

Just wondering because we have a lib aunt who would love to be “family spokeswoman” in the event something happened to one of us and we’ve done everything short of getting a restraining order to keep her out of our affairs.

The Clinton Foundation has two purposes. One is to sell favors. The other is to buy favors with the money they got from selling favors. Who said Bill never knew anything about business. Apparently he knows how to buy low and sell high.

Well, whatever happened to the supposed “wife”? She comes out for a minute and then she’s gone and this “sister” is now the family spokesperson?

The Establishment is not going to let anyone from Chris Stevens family be heard if they aren’t saying what the Establishment wants them to say. Which could explain why it’s been 5 years and I, a close follower of the story, have yet to hear one person from his family say a word about what happened in Benghazi. Odd, isn’t it?

Wonder if they get monthly payoffs, or if they went with an annual arrangement.

Well Stevens himself was a far lefty, and gay, so no surprises there.

But not the point. Failure to protdct an ambassador from known upcoming attacks - ie basically the president considered by people working on embassy station, is an extreme, massive failure and everyone who is career govt knows it. And knows it was deliberate.

"Did Hillary send this family a lifetime supply of koolaid?"

Perhaps it was Clinton Foundation money hidden in Kool-Aid packets. The IRS would never know the Steven's family got the money hidden in the packets (sarc).

When der Hildebeast lied to Anne Stevens, MD's family, that the reason for Benghazi was the internet video, "Innocence of Muslims;" while Chris Stevens' coffin was draped with an American flag, Anne drank the Kool-Aid. I am sure the Kool-Aid was delivered to her by Ben Rhodes and David Plouffe who spun the phony story of the internet movie. Of course, we all know that the phony story was an effort to censer the internet and the "Great Right Wing Conspiracy." I am sure, Seattle leftist, Anne Stevens, MD, was on board with that. Kool-Aid is Seattle's drink of choice, second to coffee.
