State Department's Benghazi review panel under investigation, Fox News confirms

James Rosen

The State Department's Office of Inspector General is investigating the special internal panel that probed the Benghazi terror attack for the State Department, Fox News has confirmed.

The IG's office is said by well-placed sources to be seeking to determine whether the Accountability Review Board, or ARB -- led by former U.N. Ambassador Thomas Pickering and former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Adm. Mike Mullen -- failed to interview key witnesses who had asked to provide their accounts of the Benghazi attacks to the panel.

The IG's office notified the department of the "special review" on March 28, according to Doug Welty, the congressional and public affairs officer of the IG's office.

This disclosure marks a significant turn in the ongoing Benghazi case, as it calls into question the reliability of the blue-ribbon panel that then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton convened to review the entire matter. Until the report was concluded, she and all other senior Obama administration officials regularly refused to answer questions about what happened in Benghazi.

This is the whitewash.

“We investigated our investigators, and we’re really happy with what they did.”

That’s why Hagel suddenly announced today they need to rethink not arming the Syrian rebels. They need to make it policy before next wednesday’s hearings when it becomes public that they were gun running out of Benghazi.

My guess is that this isn’t going to fly with We The People. Their pants are on fire and nothing will put it out, IMO.

“..........Until the report was concluded, she and all other senior Obama administration officials regularly refused to answer questions about what happened in Benghazi.”
**************************************************************
And that was the sole use that the Obama/Hillary criminals wanted from that group at that time—to stall. They obviously didn’t want the truth. And once the bull-s**t report was issued, the approach was “OK, time to move on now folks”.

The magnitude of the high crimes & treasons of the Obama/Holder/Napolitano/Hillary gang would require something of the magnitude of the Nuremberg Tribunal to uncover one-tenth of their crimes.

The DOS investigating itself is like the Fox himself investigating what happened in the hen house.

While they're at it they should investigate who appointed Pickering to that "review" panel - being that his selection in and of itself was putting the Islamic fix on the results:

It’s like Trey Gowdy says; “there’s a reason we don’t let students grade their own tests.”

Clinton - Christie 2016. You heard it hear first.

Hillary to get the dims and they will paint Christie as good “conservative” (it hurts just saying that) who has seen the light and wants to work together with the Dims and mend the country yada yada. That kool-aid they hope will garnish the middle of the roaders and the RINO’s to the tune of about 30% of the R’s vote.

Sounds sort've like a snake trying to eat its own tail to hide it, doesn't it? Of course that would be the same State Department run until recently by Hillary, and now being manipulated by famous Vietnam War veteran John Kerry. The deception and obfuscation of what should be public information are mind-boggling.

I didn’t know that, but it fits. I wonder who sobered Hagel up enough to make that announcement.
