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.
Useful Idiot
Republicans are implicated. Most of them are neoconservative globalist. McCain openly supported arming ISIS. He had pictures taken with them.
Here’s another mystery. Why were they rescued by pro Quaddfi loyalists? Why did these generals send transport aircraft to help our CIA operatives? Who made that call?
what’s the difference?
People need to swing for this. A lot of people.
That's easy to believe since the Cairo embassy was tweeting apologies for it 10 or 12 hours before the attack in Benghazi...
Here are two important blog posts from Sept. 11th 2012 and Sept. 12th 2012. Both are left-leaning but they expose what was going on behind the scenes to promote the "Youtube video" propaganda.

A Timeline Of The Attacks In Libya And Egypt -- And The Responses

(this posting was intended to buttress the phony "Youtube video" lie but it also exposes the exact timeline of the tweets from the Cairo embassy, the State Dept. and Hillary Clinton herself making apologies for the "Youtube video.")
Her and Obama’s arms depot.. You hit the nail. there was a story about an arms depot aa few weeks after in Benghazi that was taken over by terrorists. Sure they did not have to fight anyone and we just left the goods for them.
0dunga shouldn’t get a pass for it he should get a rope.
Only the POTUS can authorize a CBA order. (Cross Border Authority) No one else.
When it comes to forces who were already within the borders of Libya they didn’t need a CBA and would have been under the authority of others to deploy or be told to stand down.
You’re right, this story is old. Good catch!
It just goes to show that everyone is in the tank for Hillary and 0bama and for covering up their treason. The MSM, the Democrat Party, the GOPe, the DoD, the CIA, the FBI, the DoJ and on and on and on.
It’s from the book these heroes wrote. I haven’t seen the film (13 hours) but the book was spellbinding. To experience what the guys there went through.. You keep wishing someone changes the ending as you read. These guys knew nothing of the politics in DC, they just tried to save lives. They were hung out to dry.
This is so sad. Those poor men.
Hillary has peaked. The continual drip..drip..drip of more e-mails coming out is going to damn her to a blowout in November. In fact, I believe the health problem narrative trotted out by the media (as planted by RAT puppetmasters)will pave the way for the RATs to pull a “Toricelli” in the next couple months and replace her on the ballot as her poll number fade into the abyss.
Trump landside coming...
“Why haven’t the Republicans been more aggressive about Benghazi?”
The RINOs are complicit in everything Obama has done. I think it is past time for guillotine, myself.
I went to look up to see if that was true what you said, that the wiki leaks lawyer was pushed under a train.
Well, A DIFFERENT LAWYER FOR WIKILEAKS was pushed under a train in March as well!!!!!!!!

What in the hell?
Whoops, it is the same guy. I guess the media is just discovering that the guy died under suspicious circumstances, sorry.
Perfect.
Hillary just picked up in the early 70s where Jane Fonda left off.
Joe McCarthy was 50 years too early.
Our government has never been more riddled with Anti-American traitors than now.
Pray for Mr Trump and his victory. Our nation will not survive four more years of this.
Trouble is, the Torricelli Switch (tm) worked.
You are right. Historically, our country moves mountains to rescue people.
Historically, Embassies are considered the soil of the attending country. That attack was on American soil--Clinton and Obama were more concerned about their own cover than anyone or anything else.
They blatantly lied about the cause immediately and lied to the families. Yet, it is business as usual for them. It's ridiculous.
He says he had tried to phone them, but no answer.
