Hillary Clinton campaign calls Benghazi probe ‘partisan sham’
The Washington Times ^ | June 28, 2016 | Seth McLaughlin

Posted on 06/28/2016 8:22:40 AM PDT by rickmichaels

Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign is panning the Benghazi probe that has culminated in a 800-page report that is set to be released Tuesday and that makes the case that the former secretary of state underestimated the risk extremist groups posed to American personnel in Libya.

Gee, if the report finds no wrong doing by Clinton, why is it a partisan sham? Why isn’t the Clinton campaign applauding the report? Don’t answer that, we all know why.

Interesting they’re not using their usual terminology for this: witch hunt. Wouldn’t want us to equate the two in our minds.

Considering they have been obsessed with Hillary, and seemingly ignored Obama, it does seem like a political stunt.

There was “partisanship” involved, all right, on the Benghazi inquiry. It all seemed to be on the side of the Democrats, who obfuscated, interrupted and largely filibustered the inquiry at every opportunity, and offered no cogent rebuttals at all to the interim determinations made.

Trey Gowdy made a very unbiased, and as full a declaration, of the circumstances as could be gleaned from the testimony collected. Not everybody questioned was as forthcoming as he or she could have been.

“Stonewalling” was not a tactic invented just for this inquiry, but it was raised to an art form. Elusive and evasive both applied.

a partisan sham to find why 4 Americans were murdered under the hag and the obozo’s leadership. Party before country is a loser for all Americans.

If she hadn’t talked for 11 hours it might have had fewer pages.

It’s all being fixed so that when she wins we the people will think “Well, the gop screwed us again.” When the gop did exactly what they’re told to do.

She can call it whatever she wants....WE know what obuma and she did...and we know that all of it will come out even more now...

People have been afraid to say things, but they won’t now, she will be hit with this the rest of her running...and even the media twits can’t shut us up, they will try, that’s what she is paying them to do, but she can’t shut us up, and she best not try...

There are a lot of us right here on this board that lived through those ‘horrid years of the Clintons’ and Arkansas remembers way more than we do, so lets have at it, tell it all, just like the special agent is doing in his new book, we need to support him, and we need to support Trump...

Trump has people that read on this board, he sees and he hears what people are saying...open up and let her have it!!!

Hillary's Treason.

Hillary might have committed her own treason during the attack.

You have a point there. A very big point.

Only the POTUS had the authority to act!

0bama was notified immediately and automatically when the Benghazi consulate triggered the "Imminent Danger Notification System" alert. He did nothing.

They confirm everything Col. Hunt said about automatic notifications to the WH and add more details.

There are three scandals here...

---------------------------------------------------------

Denial of requests for security were a dereliction of duty. The lies and misdirection about the "video" after the attack were fraud and malfeasance under the color of authority. The inaction during the attack was something more than that.

The failure to act during the attack is the direct equivalent of desertion IMO.

ONE man had the authority to act that night.

ONE man deserted his post!

House Benghazi report slams administration response to attacks

Fox News.com ^ | June 28, 2016
Posted on 6/28/2016, 9:15:25 AM by Kaslin

A damning report authored by the Republican-led House committee probing the Benghazi terror attacks faulted the Obama administration for a range of missteps before, during and after the fatal 2012 attacks – saying top administration officials huddled to craft their public response while military assets waited hours to deploy to Libya.

The report released Tuesday pointedly blamed a “rusty bureaucratic process” for the slow-moving response the night of the attack. The report said despite orders from President Obama and then-Defense Secretary Leon Panetta to deploy, the first military force did not do so until more than 13 hours after the attack started.

The report said one anti-terrorism security team known as the FAST unit sat waiting for three hours in Rota, Spain, as Marines changed “in and out of their uniforms four times,” and even debated whether they should carry personal weapons, according to one witness. All together, the report said, “it would take nearly 18 hours” for that team to move.

The report described a web of internal debates and hold-ups, including apparent State Department guidance that “Libya must agree to any deployment,” though Panetta would later say Libya approval was not necessary.

While various officials debated how to proceed, U.S. personnel were under attack at two sites in Benghazi.

In the end, U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans — foreign service officer Sean Smith and former Navy Seals Ty Woods and Glen Doherty — were killed in the attacks.
