What?!

"An obscure private firm hired by the State Department over internal objections to protect U.S. diplomats in Benghazi just months before the American ambassador and three others were killed was staffed with hastily recruited locals with terror ties who helped carry out the attack,...."

According to the linked article, it was a 9.2 million dollar/year contract. Look for a donation to the Clinton Foundation from Blue Mtn.

The Benghazi heroes who wrote the book, and assisted with the movie, KNEW THIS. They knew this that very night by the behavior of their “security.”

I had my daughter with me aged 15 and she had a Trump sticker on her.
Seems when I was at the checkout, one of the women came to her and said Trump is an idiot, and she should know better as she is a female.
My daughter never told me this until I was driving away and they had left.
Told my daughter this was an important lesson about liberals.
They are ignorant, don’t respect anyone else’s opinion, and are quick to call names when they know they can get away with it like the cowards they are.

It couldn't have been a lot because they were only paid $387,000. Apparently that's all Hillary could spare from her budget...

Hillary Clinton on State Dept. budget for FY 2012.

FY 2012 Budget Request March 10, 2011

"The second part of our request funds the extraordinary, temporary portion of our war effort the same way the Pentagon’s request is funded: in a separate Overseas Contingency Operations account known as OCO. Instead of covering war expenses through supplemental appropriations, we are now taking a more transparent approach that fully reflects the integrated civilian-military efforts. Our share of the President’s $126 billion request for exceptional wartime costs is $8.7 billion. So all told, we have a $47 billion operational account and an $8.7 billion Overseas Contingency Operations account."

(snip)

"But let me just quickly walk you through this, because on this issue of our $8.7 billion Overseas Contingency Operations, we have the strongest support from Secretary Gates, from Admiral Mullen. And next week – I was speaking with General Petraeus last night. He will be here on the Hill strongly supporting the civilian effort that goes hand-in-hand with what he is doing so heroically in Afghanistan. So we are funding vital civilian missions in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iraq with this $8.7 billion."

That is Hillary speaking there that's why it's in quotes.

I don’t know where you see $9.2 million. All I see in the article is $387,000.

Frankly that sounds like assault on a minor. Adults should not approach children out of the blue and give them a piece of their mind about anything. Only if a child is being disruptive would that be acceptable.

“Look for a donation to the Clinton Foundation from Blue Mtn.”

Or by whomever owns Blue Mountain. Either way, the result is the same - Hillary and Bill get enriched, someone else gets something that they don’t deserve, and the people of the US get screwed (4 particular people and their families more than the rest of us, in this case).

This is beyond sickening.

Thanks, everyone, for your comments.

Again, forward this on to anyone that you know who may be on the fence and who hasn’t (or may not have) voted. Also to those you know to be patriots, but who shun voting because “it doesn’t matter” or “my vote doesn’t count for anything” or “its fixed, who cares.” THESE people can make a difference, particularly in swing states. EVERY VOTE COUNTS, round up as many against Clinton - and FOR Trump (who is the only one who can stop her) as possible!

Hillary thinks we can vet Syrian refugees.

She hasn’t even vetted her own staff properly.

[manc]

well I would love to see them now, but my daughter said she only told me later so as I would not get into trouble with them.
Proud of her, but also pissed off I could not have had a few choice words with them about it.

[CivilWarBrewing]

Hillary's "What difference does it make?" remark is quite ironic since IT MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD THAT THE LIE ABOUT BENGHAZI BEING A PROTEST AND NOT A TERRORIST ATTACK seemed to make a HUGE difference in 0blama winning the election 8 weeks later.

[sportutegrl]

This is from the linked page: “Blue Mountain used local newspaper ads to assemble a team of 20 guards, many of whom had terror ties, after securing a $9.2 million annual contract.” Is there another article?

[TigersEye]

I hear you. Those women are very neurotic and badly in need of a reality check.

[truthluva]

Just watched a guy at Trump’s rally who was on the roof of the CIA Annex in Benghazi. He told about the fight there and how he witnessed those two men die there. It amazes me that after Benghazi anyone could ever support Hillary Clinton for anything.

[Just mythoughts]

Well, never mind that Romney and lying Ryan were fakes... and neither give a wit about our Constitution.

[HiTech RedNeck]

It will be “over the top” personified till they have become a mockery of what they pretend to be.

Which isn’t bad, if “We The People” finally realize what a clown troupe they are.

[HiTech RedNeck]

And at that, a protest about some obscure amateur cartoon video, the likes of which there are thousands, if not millions, already in the world.

[And at that, a protest about some obscure amateur cartoon video, the likes of which there are thousands, if not millions, already in the world.]

And if those folks are this touchy over obscure amateur videos, then why wasn’t the place better guarded because they might get equally touchy over heaven knows what?

[TigersEye]

Is there another article?

Several.

This is the link from the post that you replied to...

British firm secured Benghazi consulate contract with little experience 10/14/2012

Sources have told the Daily Telegraph that just five unarmed locally hired Libyans were placed on duty at the compound on eight-hour shifts under a deal that fell outside the State Department's global security contracting system.

Blue Mountain, the Camarthen firm that won a $387,000 (£241,000) one year contract from the US State Department to protect the compound in May, sent just one British employee, recruited from the celebrity bodyguard circuit, to oversee the work.

And this from post #21...
