The latest in the email scandal plaguing the campaign of Democrat presidential nominee Hillary Clinton has provided proof of what many on the right have known all along — that then-Secretary of State Clinton left Americans to die in Benghazi.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta gave testimony in 2013 stating that there was no time to get help to Benghazi, Libya on Sept. 11, 2012, where four Americans died. An email obtained by Judicial Watch and recently released appears to be in direct contradiction of this claim.
Fox News reported that an urgent email from Panetta’s Chief of Staff Jeremy Bash to top Clinton deputies asked for help as the attack unfolded in Benghazi and stated that forces were ready to move to assist them:
“I just tried you on the phone but you were all in with S [apparent reference to then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton]. After consulting with General Dempsey, General Ham and the Joint Staff, we have identified the forces that could move to Benghazi. They are spinning up as we speak.”
The email was sent during the early stages of the eight-hour attack at 7:19 p.m. Washington time on Sept. 11, 2012, after the first wave of the attack on the diplomatic outpost but before the mortar strike that killed former Navy SEALs Ty Woods and Glen Doherty, who were working as private CIA security contractors.
The non-profit watchdog group Judicial Watch said this in a statement about the information revealed in the email:
“This leaves no doubt military assets were offered and ready to go, and awaiting State Department signoff, which did not come.”
This email proves that there was time and that there were forces available to assist in the Benghazi attack that resulted in the death of four Americans: Ty Woods, Glen Doherty, Sean Smith and Ambassador Chris Stevens.
While the information is new to the public, lawmakers investigating the case already had access to the email, according to Matt Wolking, spokesman for the House Select Committee on Benghazi.
This new revelation is proof that the Obama administration lied about its ability to send forces to assist in Benghazi.
The email also clearly shows that while Americans were under siege in Benghazi, Clinton was likely more concerned with spinning the lie that the attacks occurred because of an internet video.
Anyone who is more concerned with spinning a false narrative than they are with American lives has no business being commander in chief.
I still believe that it was a plan Obama & Hillary had to exchange the Blind Sheik for the captured Ambassador Stevens. Plan went awry and Ambassador Stevens was murdered. The blame for the ambassador’s death is with Obama and Hillary. This explanation of events was publicized immediately after Stevens’ murder. Very few would believe the treachery at the time.
Anyone paying attention, knows this to be true.
Anyone with common sense, always knew this to be true.
The call came. It was 3 AM somewhere in the world, and Hillary was unavailable.
People DIED, Hillary LIED.
Thanks to the heroism and training of “a few good men”, scores of lives were saved and hundreds of muzzies were killed.
One of the assets available was the AC-130 gunship.

Notice besides the machine gun fire, the individuals targeted and killed. Mass destruction or precise targeting on one platform. ONE of these gunships would have struck terror in the terrorists and if any survived, they would be beating feet otta there.
Hillary left our men to DIE! To say that “nothing” could be done is TREASON. Hillary has their blood on her hands.
I recently watched “13 Hours: the secret soldiers of Benghazi.” Just an unbelievable struggle for survival against enormous odds. (Got it from a local branch library.)
I know it’s a Hollywood film, but if it’s only 10% true it’s still an incredible indictment of tremendous proportions of Obozo and Hillary’s betrayal of CIA, State Department and Spec Ops personnel.
Obozo and Hillary completely destabilized Libya and turned it into Islamic terrorist stronghold.
“I just tried you on the phone but you were all in with S [apparent reference to then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton]. After consulting with General Dempsey, General Ham and the Joint Staff, we have identified the forces that could move to Benghazi. They are spinning up as we speak.”
The email was sent during the early stages of the eight-hour attack at 7:19 p.m. Washington time on Sept. 11, 2012, after the first wave of the attack on the diplomatic outpost but before the mortar strike that killed former Navy SEALs Ty Woods and Glen Doherty, who were working as private CIA security contractors.
So the questions raised are:
Is Hillary incompetent?
Was Hillary drunk or ill?
Had Hillary left orders that she was not to be disturbed?
Was Hillary under orders or did she give orders to prevent rescue as the ambassador could not be allowed to survive for political reasons? Add your own questions to these.
7:19 p.m. (DC time)
IIRC, Panetta was in a security meeting with Obama and Biden around 6:00 p.m. Panetta said it lasted about an hour.
After that meeting, the next time any apparent contact was made with Obama was the phone call with Clinton just after 10:00 p.m. [I do not recall which originated that phone call.]
Clinton was home and emailed Chelsea after 10:00 p.m.
The video excuse came into play around 7:30 p.m. or so. That was when someone [upper level staffer] first mentioned/suggested it.

The only ‘smoking gun’ is the one that will be held over the head of Julian Assange. Ecuadorean Embassy personnel just “repelled boarders,” so to speak. Things getting bad out there folks...
The guy who made the video is a Copptic Christian. He was already on thier radar. BTW, he was imprisoned for using an alias on his youtube channel where the video was located.
Just charge Her with Murder!
“While the information is new to the public, lawmakers investigating the case already had access to the email, according to Matt Wolking, spokesman for the House Select Committee on Benghazi.”
So why are we just now hearing about it???
Why didn’t Trey Gowdy make it public???
There were 600 emails sent from Ambassador Stevens to State requesting additional security, but the requests were ignored. I wouldn’t know about this except for watching the hearings. It almost seemed like an accident that it was even mentioned.
Why wasn’t a big deal made of it? The Dems want to blame Republicans, for not enough funding, but what happened to the 6 billion missing from the State department?
Why haven’t the Republicans been more aggressive about Benghazi?
Can you send me proof that this claim was rejected by the courts for ammo against lib liars who say otherwise? If not, no worries I’ll look it up later but this narrative has taken a hold and if it’s false I’m extremely interested.
This is definitely smoking gun type information. Donald has to be the one to bring it up.
the date on the bottom of the article states By: C.E. Dyer on August 15, 2016 - how can this just now be BREAKING?
Let me add that the guys name is Nakoula Basseley Nakoula. He has a has run afoul of the law fairly frequently. He is also anti-Muslim. He posted the video in July of 2012, but was/is being blamed for worldwide protests around the globe in September 2012, even though, none of the protesters that were interviewed had heard of him or seen the video.
This is what happens when you have a guy like Barack Hussein Obama and a woman like Mrs. Bill Clinton watching your back.
I know folks may disagree with this thought, but doesn’t this really fit the pattern of Arkancides to a tee?
Stevens knew about the weapons deals.
This could have been harmful to Hillary Clinton.
Someone killed him and the information died with him.
I’m at a loss to think of another reason she would have refused to send aid. Of course there’s the thought that she was just too stupid to come to his aid too.
Such a great graphic...
You speak political truth.
But political truth is always killed, eventually, by ontological truth.
Because McCain & Co. were in on the arms smuggling.
The problem isn’t the lack of smoking guns, it’s whatever it is that her millions of supporters and the media is smoking.
like your evaluation
Amb. Stevens was killed for a reason. This has been suspected from the night Benghazi took place The man had to be silenced and subsequently persons in control took care of the task.
