Emails reportedly show confidant told Clinton Benghazi attack planned by AQ-tied fighters
FOX NEWS ^ | May 21, 2015

A longtime Clinton confidant reportedly advised then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton two days after the 2012 Benghazi terror attack that an Al Qaeda-tied group had planned the deadly assault and used a protest as cover -- but despite this warning, Clinton's U.N. ambassador went on to publicly claim the attack was simply "spontaneous."

The guidance from ex-Clinton aide Sidney Blumenthal was contained in a memo sent Sept. 13, according to The New York Times. It is the latest documentation effectively contradicting the administration's early narrative that the attack was driven by protests over an anti-Islam Internet video -- and raising questions over why officials stuck to that story for days.

Why “reportedly”?

But is the idea here that Sid Blumenthal had better intel than the secretary of state? And the problem is that the secretary of state didn’t follow Sid’s advice??

That seems less tthan damning.

It amazes me that Clinton jailed a Christian as a scapegoat, meanwhile the same Al-Q group that stormed the embassy and murdered Americans is now murdering Coptic Christians by the hundreds.

They planned the attack then planned the protest in Egypt specifically to create the “spontaneous” lie.

I think Sissy also provided the Youtube intel in email to Cankles on the first day and then changed it to AQ on the second day. So watch Hillary say she didn’t get Sissy’s 2nd email. But the Youtube video excuse came for Sissy!

This is politics - any event has a true explanation, and another that will benefit the domestic political situation.

And yet, will Clinton or anyone else related to this crime be prosecuted? Of course not!

They ALL knew in advance : McCain, McConnell and Boehner
and their Islamic lord and king and caliph, the undocumented
Indonesian pRes_ _ent.

They ALL knew after the Fact: Cummings, Issa, and the
rest. And so they attacked conservatives using the IRS
to keep their power.

They are Enemies domestic against the American people.
