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.

New set of lying curs to investigate old set of lying curs...but at this point in time, what difference does it make?

This is the whitewash.

This is not a whitewash, this is only presenting one side as the final report. What a scam, 'we put everything we were told in the report', of course if we did not allow certain witnesses then o'well.............

Oh, Barry cared.... enough to fire generals that offered up plans to rescue survivors that Barry and Hillary were pleased to see die.

I agree, Obama has done many vile things, but his cavalier attitude about Benghazi and the death of Americans goes beyond all else. There is no excuse for it, and it’s unforgivable.

Has he been charged with any crimes?

The guy was on probation with an order from the judge not to do any internet stuff.

So I believe that's what they charged him with.

The reliability of a blue-ribbon panel convened by Hillary to review the entire matter is called into question?

What a surprise. /

The incest runs deep with that crowd.

And if your in the "club" you have no worriess.

Always protecting their own.

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

Reminds me of a Marxist English literature prof I had in college. Let us choose our own grades. Most didn’t come, and I think everyone got A’s.

We, here who do their homework, know,

Now The information needs to get out far and wide regarding the negligence, failures, and criminal actions... and steps for accountability.

This story won’t go away, but until the LSM get’s an appetite, or The GOP retakes the Senate and retains the House, when real investigations can be held and not sham-wow side shows, it will just continue to percolate beneath the radar of the low information American public.

This needs it's own thread for MAX eyes to see it.

How can we do that....we have a lot of Headline readers that won't get down this deep in a thread.

Can we have some guidelines as to the best way for the system to do this.?

Since it really isn't a news article.

Foxnews reported that the State Dept said the investigation WAS NOT limited to Benghazi but was investigating all past review boards ...

And those would include Republican Administrations....

The Game is underway!

good for you, how this man got away with going to bed , I mean knowing people were under attack and waiting for help but this man just decided to go to bed as he had to go to Vegas the next day was one of the most disgusting things I have ever heard about this admin if not the worst.

He sat on his bed, he pulled the sheets on him and he placed his head on the pillow while he knew right at that moment there were Americans fighting to save their lives, waiting on a roof top with a laser who was waiting for air support or any kind of support.

Just imagine how those seals felt as time went by and as each hour went by there was no one to help them.
They lied there, took their last breath and then died wondering where the help was and why it never came and in all that time the CIC went to bed and to sleep.

It frigging so much pisses me off thinking about it.
