Benghazi night call between Clinton and Obama withheld, documents show
FOX News ^ | June 29, 2015 | By Catherine Herridge

Posted on 06/29/2015 8:36:02 AM PDT by Brad from Tennessee

New documents released by a federal court show President Obama called then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on the night of the 2012 Benghazi attack -- but the contents are being withheld by the State Department.

It had previously been disclosed that Clinton and Obama spoke the night of the terror attacks. But the documents offer additional information about the timing of the call -- after the initial attack on the U.S. consulate, but before the second wave where mortars hit the nearby CIA annex and killed former Navy SEALs Ty Woods and Glen Doherty.

The contents of the call, however, are being withheld, not because the information is classified but because the administration claims they represent internal deliberations about the 2012 terror assault.

The claim comes as Clinton also faces accusations that she withheld Benghazi-related emails from her private server in the trove of emails handed over to the State Department.

The contents of the call were only shared with Obama's and Clinton's closest aides. Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes sent an email on the call to State Department officials Jake Sullivan and Philippe Reines, and National Security Council spokeswoman Bernadette Meehan.

The email was released as part of an ongoing lawsuit by conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch. . .

The White House doesn't want the public to know that their greatest concerns that night were about potential political consequences of the Benghazi attack rather than about the security of the consulate or the welfare of U.S. personnel.

Excellent Reading: "Operation Zero Footprint"

Fox Affirms The Benghazi Brief – “The Arming Of Benghazi”…

It has been a year since we first posted the full 11,000 word Benghazi Brief, explaining the soup to nuts events of what happened from February 2011 up to September 11th 2012. Many people have wondered why the Mainstream Media have not picked up the story.

They are covering for Hillary so it doesn’t interfere with her chances to be the next president.

Ring, ring...

Hello? Hi Huma, is she with you again tonight?

Sure is! We were just lighting up a smoke, if you know what I mean. Wanna speak to her? Hang on...

By the way, where’s Reggie tonight? Oh, getting cleaned up, eh?

Obama & Hillary are responsible for the loss of Seal Team 6 and many others that were killed by the Manpads they delivered to Libya & Syrian rebels, that somehow ended up with the Afghanistan Taliban & the rebels we now call ISIS.

So Hillinskylike.

* RULE 3: “Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy.” Look for ways to increase insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty.

It’s good that youtube video maker that triggered this was brought to justice. The ME has been such a peaceful place since then.

The contents of the call, however, are being withheld, not because the information is classified but because the administration claims they represent internal deliberations about the 2012 terror assault.

Contents withheld because they reveal the incompetency of Obama and Clinton!!!

Obama: How much did Al-Qaeda donate to the Clinton foundation for you to look the other way?

Hitlery: Oh about $4 million.

Obama: Well it works out for both of us, you get to make some money and I get make it look like Muslims are being harassed.

Hitlery: Yes just blame it on that video the Jew made.

Obama: That's another plus! We get to screw the Jew!

Hitlery: Haw haw haw haw! I love when that happens!

Obama: Me too!

Hitlery: Haw haw haw!

Obama’s reelection was just one month away. A dramatic rescue attempt risked attracting additional media attention to the impending scandal.

The politically pragmatic thing was to let the men die.

It is unlikely but possible that they ORDERED the second attack, the better to suppress any potential witnesses.

Now just a dad-gum-minute...didn’t some video start that Benghazi event? Didn’t Ms. Clinton say so along with Obama, Susan Rice and others? Didn’t a man go to jail for making that video?

Or dereliction of duty. Obama may have ordered a stand-down while our people were under attack, allowing our people to be overrun and killed.

The only armed response was from men already inside Libya:

one single word from the president is required to authorise rescuers to enter Libya and he wouldnt do that, since it wouldn’t help him personally.

The hiring of the security was so bad that the guards physically opened the gate for the attackers.

Why isn’t that woman in jail? In fact, why isn’t Obama in jail?

All he and his minions (Hillary, IRS, etc.) have done is violate our laws, ignore judicial orders except for the ones that suit him, and conceal, conceal, conceal.
