Copy & paste of a post on the bottom of the article:
“The gun running operation is NOT new information:
Just Google “Doug Hagmann” and Benghazi. He has been on top of this since last October! Plus Rand Paul did ask Hillary about it during her testimony, but she claimed not to know what he was referring to.
Why has it taken this long for this information to come out? I don’t get it.”
bttt
EVERY Freeper knows about the weapons and why Stevens was murdered!! It’s about damn time that OTHERS know about it.
AMEN!! Will they EVER learn who OBAMA’s AMB. was going to give Weapons TO????? Will they CARE??
What difference does it make? /s
BS! He was there running guns to terrorists.
You beatme to it. I agree he was there to funnel those weapons to terrorist.
Where are the Benghazi survivors and why haven’t we heard their side of the story?

Where are the Benghazi survivors and why haven’t we heard their side of the story?
Graham stated during the interview that there were several foreign service employees (State Dept) that were among the group of approx. 33 people that were evacuated from the site. Which leaves the question: What do you need 30+ CIA operatives for at this site? Did this place also act as a prison and interrogation (torture?) facility?
General Keene commented on FOX that Benghazi was not a Consulate (because that would designate it as USA soil - and it was not USA soil). He also commented that we had lost a very effective CIA station.
Funny, I never heard anybody else say anything about the CIA station. And .. a lot of the media still continue to call it a “Consulate”.
My sources said it was also rumored that Russia was behind the attack because Russia was upset that although Obama had told Putin that we were not supplying arms to the Syrian rebels, the A-Q spies in Benghazi were hired by Russia to take out Stevens and destroy the location.
Now, I said the “Russia story” was a rumor .. but it sure sounds really logical to me .. because once Russia found out it wasn’t a true “consolate” or USA soil, it gave them a green light to take us out.
To me .. this rumor alone was enough of a reason for the admin to want to cover up the attack. Did somebody from Russia call Obama and tell him they had put us out of the gun business ..?? Obama has this habit of hiding when he is confronted with his antics .. and this action of hiding was obvious on 9/11/12 .. Obama was absent when the attack happened. And .. certainly Russia knew Obama was facing re-election .. and Obama would not want to make waves.
Also, nobody ever mentions why Obama never signed the CBA, so our troops from Italy could enter Libya.
Well .. as for the Hillary emails .. she is so deceiptful, I wouldn’t put it past her to allow these emails to surface as a way to further cover-up the real info. And that indicates she may have been told by Obama not to interfere in Libya. Thus, she claimed she didn’t know about the requests for security.
Let me know what you think.
I agree with your observations. Our facility in Benghazi was a consulate in name only. Most of the activity going on there was under the aegis of the CIA, which poses another question. Why was Stevens there, personally supervising a covert, gun-running op? That’s why you have a CIA station chief at virtually every embassy, and operators on the ground. His meeting with that Turkish diplomat could have easily been conducted somewhere else; why huddle in Benghazi, in an iffy security environment, unless Stevens wanted to show his Turkish counterpart what the U.S. had collected.
Finally, here’s one more observation. The new information came from e-mails hacked from Sidney Blumenthal’s AOL account. One of the reports was labeled “confidential.” That makes it a classified document. So, the Secretary of State (or one of her aides) sent Blumenthal classified material to his unclassified e-mail account. That’s a security violation, since there are no indications the report had been declassified. And, since Mr. Blumenthal left government over a decade ago, I doubt he has an active security clearance.
Here’s a partial list of the rules broken during this exchange. Unauthorized disclosure of classified information to someone without a security clearance/valid need to know; deliberate downloading of classified material from a government computer network (probably SIPRNET), and unauthorized transmission of the same information over the internet.
Predictably, no one is saying a word about this blatant disregard of security regulations—the kind of offenses that would cause mere mortals to lose their clearance, or possibly go to jail.
But then again, we’re talking about Hillary and her good friend Sid. Nothing to see here, move along.

Wow, I’m really a little surprised. I figured you would shoot down the Russia story .. at least maybe parts of it.
This is very interesting.
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., may have dropped a bombshell in an interview with Fox News in which he stated that murdered U.S Ambassador Christopher Stevens was in Benghazi to keep weapons caches from falling into the hands of terrorists.Obviously Stevens was murdered by homophobes. But wait, no! He was murdered in response to a YouTube video no one had ever seen until after the planned attack.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
..................
Glenn Beck said he was there to sell weapons to mideast terrorists groups including AQQ. We are in a war on terrorism and this admin is involved with aiding and abetting terrorist. Our own government is guilty of treason against the people and the military it is sending to fight a phoney war. It is phoney because Obama made it that way.
Fox reported on that some months ago.
I would call it a COVERUP...Remember the Debate with Romney where The Moderator Candy Crowley and Obama were on the same page...about the Benghazi Attack.
