Select Committee on Benghazi Releases Proposed Report
benghazi.house.gov ^ | 06/28/2016 | Trey Gowdy

Posted on 06/28/2016 6:42:44 AM PDT by Dacula

Washington, D.C. – Select Committee on Benghazi Chairman Trey Gowdy (SC-04) released the following statement after the committee’s Majority released a mark of its investigative report:

“Chris Stevens, Sean Smith, Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods were heroes who gave their lives in service to our country. Their bravery and the courageous actions of so many others on the ground that night should be honored.

“When the Select Committee was formed, I promised to conduct this investigation in a manner worthy of the American people’s respect, and worthy of the memory of those who died. That is exactly what my colleagues and I have done.

“Now, I simply ask the American people to read this report for themselves, look at the evidence we have collected, and reach their own conclusions. You can read this report in less time than our fellow citizens were taking fire and fighting for their lives on the rooftops and in the streets of Benghazi.”

The committee’s proposed report is just over 800 pages long and is comprised of five primary sections and 12 appendices. It details relevant events in 2011 and 2012.

It IS ALL OUT THERE and most Americans don’t care. It certainly isn’t up to me, a nobody, to drive it home. It is up to the Republican nominee to understand and easily articulate the horrific crimes committed by Hillary Clinton and the Obama administration. Like I said, there is more than enough dirt to bury Hillary Clinton and the democrats, not just Benghazi. Other than “crooked Hillary” lying, what has Trump actually explained about:

Benghazi
IRS scandal
American soil terrorist attacks
Negligent VA activities
Illegal immigrant children pouring into the country with disease
Mass release of illegal criminals from prison
Iranian appeasement
DETAILS of Hillary’s email scandal

I know i have missed dozens of events, I just can’t remember them all, but I know there is enough to bury her, calling Elizabeth Warrem POCOHANTAS isn’t going to beat Clinton, in fact, it is juvenile and counterproductive. The Republican committees have layed it all out, lets see if the nominee knows how to use it.

So they’re saying that they did meet with Obama? Did anyone meet with Hillary? Was she in on the Obama meeting? Where was she?

Fine, sit back and do nothing, then when Hillary takes over the White House don’t sit and cry about it...

I help Trump as much as I can because I support him, am I going to get invited to the White House for dinner? NO, because I’m just a ‘nobody’ like yourself, but at least I try to search for stuff, and when I find it, I send it to his team, to Drudge, and on here...

But that’s ok, just sit back and do nothing...

This can’t be true - CNN just said the report “exonerates” Clinton.

“Did Gowdy ever figure out who gave the stand down order?”

Even if he had, would he even tell us?

If Gowdy discovered whose order directly resulted in the death of the two Marines, no, I don’t believe he would tell us. The Uniparty’s goal is to toss the peasants enough scraps, from time to time, to make them believe DC is working for them. But the Uniparty cannot afford to give the peasants enough info to cause genuine unrest. The Uniparty will issue a report from time to time. They just need to make sure there is no widespread call for action in the aftermath.

The man who was FALSLY ACCUSED of his video being the cause of the terror attack should sue the daylights out of Hillary for false imprisonment. I think he was jailed four 4 years! All because Hillary LIED! I hope some lawyer who wants to take this on talks to him

Panetta and Demsey attended a prior scheduled White House meeting at the 5pm, but the call from Benghazi was at 3:42pm, to which I’d think they would have had some immediate communication at that point too.

I’m not sure of Clinton’s whereabouts but seems to me she wasn’t at the scheduled meeting.

The Select Committee should have clarified everything and either the press isn’t going to get to these details or we must read more or Select Committee will be another disappointment.

I don’t think the media ever ask relevant questions of Panetta because the truth might be an uncomfortable topic for Democrats.

This puts Clinton at the 7:30pm meeting;

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/06/28/house-benghazi-report-slams-administration-response-to-attacks.html?intcmp=hpbt1

The committee report identified for the first time a White House meeting that was convened roughly three hours into the attack and included deputies to senior Cabinet members and Clinton.

4:21 pm at the White House Situation Room meeting, prior to the White House 5pm meeting is a logical time the order could have been given, if not even prior to that, but the Secretary(Panetta) knows of 'word of the attack' before he left the pentagon to attend the 5pm meeting according to this report, and only acknowledges 'guidance' as opposed to getting an order.

After seeking refuge, one of the agents in Villa B then contacted the TOC in Tripoli and the other agent contacted the State Department’s Diplomatic Security Command Center[DSCC] in Washington D.C. at 9:49 p.m. Benghazi time[3:49 p.m. in Washington, DC].

Although the Embassy in Tripoli and the Diplomatic Command Center at the State Department in Washington received word almost immediately that the Benghazi Mission compound was under attack, that notice did not make its way to the National Military Command Center, the operations center at the Pentagon, until 4:32 p.m. local time in Washington D.C.

pages 87, 88
http://benghazi.house.gov/sites/republicans.benghazi.house.gov/files/documents/2%20Part%20I%20Redacted%20DR.pdf

Just minutes after word of the attack reached the Secretary, he and General Martin E.Dempsey, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, departed the Pentagon to attend a previously scheduled 5:00 p.m. meeting at the White House with President Obama and National Security Advisor Thomas E. Donilon. The Secretary recalled two details about the attack on the U.S. facility in Benghazi: a building was on fire and Stevens was missing. As the Secretary and Dempsey briefed the President on the evolving situation in Benghazi, Libya, the Secretary recalls the following guidance: The President made clear that we ought to use all of the resources at our disposal to try to make sure we did everything possible to try to save lives there.

With Obama missing for 8 hours they were probably not sure what to do.
