Indictment of Suspect in Benghazi Attack Debunks the Obama (Video) Tale
The Washington Times ^ | Tuesday, July 1, 2014 | Rowan Scarborough

The Obama administration’s just-released criminal complaint against the alleged mastermind of the Benghazi terrorist attacks provides a final contradiction to its own evolving explanations for what happened that day.

The Justice Department’s indictment spells out a calculated conspiracy by Ahmed Abu Khatallah and associates to attack the U.S. diplomatic mission and CIA annex, which killed four Americans. The indictment might be viewed as a death knell for a theory that the attack resulted from a spontaneous protest against a U.S.-produced video.

Now in custody, Khatallah was a commander of Ansar al-Sharia in Benghazi, a U.S.-designated terrorist group, and is himself deemed a global terrorist by the State Department.

But with the capture of Khatallah in June, the Justice Department is characterizing Benghazi not as the impromptu work of a mob but as a conspiracy hatched by terrorists who had infiltrated the port city in eastern Libya.

The unsealed June 26 indictment, coinciding with Khatallah’s U.S. District Court appearance in Washington, states that the grand jury does not know when the conspiracy began. It says Khatallah “did knowingly and intentionally conspire and agree with other conspirators, known and unknown to provide material support and resources to terrorists, that is personnel including himself and others.”

The indictment says Khatallah intended the material support and resources “to be used in preparation for and in carrying out” the attacks that killed the ambassador, his aide and two ex-Navy SEALs protecting a CIA base that came under precision mortar attack.

SNIP

The laying out of a conspiracy charge marks a major move away from assertions early on that a video and a spontaneous crowd caused the four American deaths.

“I’ll keep quiet about having been sent by the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood 0bama was supporting, and the fact that CIA guys were running guns out of Benghazi, in exchange for pleading guilty to jaywalking.” - Khattala.

Even if it were the video all the more reason to execute him for threatening or First Amendment rights.

Obama and Hilary are a disgrace.

Are we chargeable with understanding and complying with theirs?

Yes, we will all be responsible for knowing and understanding Sharia, lest we get in trouble with the law

I wonder if he’ll see if on Fox News, because CNN, MSNBC, and others won’t publish it.

It’s hard work keeping up with all the scandals, corruption, developing pro-islamist strategies, directing the IRS and EPA, and tracking investigations.

I think she’s a closeted lesbo. This administration is full of them, mostly out in the open, I think.

Good, but half the American public is still walking around with its finger up its nose, and doesn’t have the mental capacity to care.

The indictment spells out what happened in Benghazi? What difference does it make? Obama won his re-election so he could follow Saul Alinsky’s plan to destroy America by executive fiat.

Obama should be accused along with Khatallah.

Nobody believed that cock and bull story.any more than they do about hard drives.

That's IT!

The video caused the hard drives to crash...simultaneously.

Or something.
