Democrats have insisted that the House Select Committee on Benghazi has done nothing but rehash already-known elements of the attack on the consulate in September 2012, and intended to do nothing more than embarrass Hillary Clinton. The latest move by the Obama administration to block access to some State Department documentation undermines both claims. Byron York reports at the Washington Examiner that the State Department has withheld an undisclosed number of documents to protect “important executive branch institutional interests” — code for executive privilege:

At the White Mosque and its Islamic State Dept,
“Interests” is euphemism for “Planned Treason to
arm al Qaeda and Transfer MANPADS to murder innocents”.

This is similar to "too big to fail" logic.

Of course it is going to “embarrass Hillary Clinton”, as it should. Exposure to her corruption should embarrass her. (But it obviously doesn’t.)

I noticed the other day the Benghazi committee is interested in David Brock and his Media Matter which was started by Hillary and Soros to orchestrate news stories.

What a coincidence, al Qaida doc # AFGP-2002-600321 in the CTC at west Points Harmony Database Osams bin Laden makes a comment to the affect the media, meaning the news, is 90% of the preparation for the battle.

Wonder who it was orchestrating the news stories as preparation for the attack in Benghazi?

I must be crazy, there was no preparations for the attack in Benghazi it was “spontaneous”.

Hillary told us so it must be true.
