Jake Tapper: Remember when Rand Paul asked Hillary about gun running in Libya?

Posted at 8:05 pm on August 1, 2013 by Twitchy Staff

Recall H Clinton answer when Sen Paul asked about gun-running: "you’ll have to direct that question to the agency that ran the annex."—
Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) August 01, 2013

Nearly a year out from the Sept. 11 terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, that killed four Americans, CNN’s Jake Tapper unveiled what looks like an enormous puzzle piece that’s been missing from the “phony scandal.” On today’s episode of “The Lead,” sources told CNN that dozens of people working for the CIA — the agency that ran the annex — were in Benghazi that night, and survivors are reportedly undergoing monthly polygraphs to ensure whatever they were doing there remains secret.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton might have trouble recalling things now and then, but Tapper remembers a question put to her by Sen. Rand Paul during the infamous “what difference does it make” hearing.

See Video

There’s little question there’s a massive, ongoing cover-up in progress: the question now is whether it’s motivated more by national security or by politics.......

Tapper should start driving an older car that isn't controlled by microprocessors.

I think I may know the answer. It has been all over the internet and I now believe it may be right that Hillary and the administration were frustrated with the UN no authorizing a “no fly” zone so the Al Qaeda could stop the pair power of Qaddafi before his fall. The CIA refused to supply them Stinger missises to shoot down his air force— so Hilliary convinced Obama to run the risk. It worked. hundreds of jets and aircraft were shot down and the Al Qaeda killed Qaddafi and took over libya— absolute fact.
As the election loomed there were negotiation with the Al Qaeda w(our enemy) to buy back the unused Stingers .not to send them to Syria but to get them “off the street” ( and away from our domestic air craft— like TWA 800) . The deal was struck. Ambasador Steben (whos office was in Tripoli) was dispatched with millions of dollars and two contractors to meet the Al Qaeda in Benghazi. Things went horribly wrong. We were so stupid we met their demand to be there with the cash on 9/11 ( a clue) . The entire CIA post knew what was going down . After the Al Qaeda killed Stevens and the others and wounded many we don’t know about, they took the cash and kept the stingers.
Panic ensued in Washington. The election and Hilliary’s future was at stake. Desperate the had Susan Rice go on TV and lie!! ( you tube video?) . Now they are desperately threatening the employees that knew the truth. It is going to blow. read the state department response to the CNN question on this
“The State Department told CNN in an e-mail that it was only helping the new Libyan government destroy weapons deemed “damaged, aged or too unsafe retain,” and that it was not involved in any transfer of weapons to other countries.” Wow. nothing but truth — what a joke. I assure you no stingers were going to the Al Qaeda in Syria — they already had them — What you see here is treason

"Stevens, from his Benghazi base, was stockpiling weapons – and resourcing the expert fighters who could use them – to topple Assad’s rule in Syria. On September 11, 2012, Assad powerfully punched back, raiding the Benghazi compound which housed the armament for his own destruction. Though Assad’s reprisal resulted in the loss of four American lives, including Stevens, he forcefully conveyed that he would not be thrown out of the ring."

Wow. Don't know if this is accurate, but it DEFINITELY is something Obama and gang would desperately want to cover up.

Thanks smoothsailing and Gateway Pundit....and "Mark Christian"

The building is right to the left of the B1 gate, the one the terrorist came through. The satellite dish suggests it is related to communications. Other than that...*shrug*....I was hoping some would speculate as to what they think this classified bldg is. Also recall some terrorist guy said he went to get some of his guys that were being held and there are stills of our people loading guys with ziptied arms into the armored truck.

Also, what could this tower be?

More from "Mark Christian":

"On the morning of September 11, 2012, Christopher Stevens and his aide, Sean Smith, were meeting at the Benghazi headquarters with Turkish Consul General, Ali Sait Akin, and his associates. Turkey was the staging ground through which the Syria-bound guns and rebels were smuggled. Thirty-four additional Syrian opposition supporters were also in attendance. Shortly after Mr. Akin & Co. made a substantial “financial contribution” and left, the compound was struck by a highly-organized assault by Hezbollah fighters. The eyes of the Middle East, as well as any online observer of Libyan and Middle Eastern press, watched the brazen attack on Benghazi…

…If Americans knew what really happened, if the mainstream media uncovered and exposed Obama and his Sunni agenda, Obama would not be the current American president, but a prosecuted American citizen.....

It's worth reading the Gateway Pundit article in its entirety.

Thanks, Irenic. Observation Tower? On the other hand, in the ME, water towers can look something like this.

Then they run into the problem of one of Putin’s passenger flights fired at by two missiles over Syria’s airspace.

It kinda all went downhill from there.

Tapper is the closest thing to a real journalist in Washington.

Tapper...and Sharyl Attkisson of CBS, who hasn't been afraid to follow Benghazi or Fast & Furious.

But that's it. There are no others.

"Tapper is the closest thing to a real journalist in Washington. "

A lot of the work has been done by Drew Griffen of CNN, as Tapper himself has stated.
