The latest from Judicial Watch
* * *
I’ve always believed that the Benghazi cover-up was about
two presidential campaigns: Barack Obama’s 2012 re-election campaign and
Hillary Clinton’s nascent 2016 presidential campaign.
Why else would Hillary Clinton personally send out lies
about Benghazi within hours, and then keep on pushing these lies until the
truth could no longer be ignored?
The truth about an attack by an al Qaeda group that
killed our ambassador and three other brave Americans in the days before
Obama’s re-election would not only have put Obama at risk of losing, but also
would have potentially dashed the hopes of his successor-in-waiting, Hillary
Rodham Clinton.
The desperation by Obama, Clinton, and their political
teams must have been potent; so potent that they - rather than admitting to the
Islamist conflagration they caused in Libya by ousting and killing Gadhafi -
preferred to ignore pleas for increased security from Ambassador Stevens; chose
to abandon him and his colleagues to rampaging terrorists; refused to follow up
with force against those who attacked us; and... lied to the American people
about the nature of the attack.
Rather than admit that it was a planned attack by a
terrorist group in league with al Qaeda, the Obama/Clinton machine knowingly
put out the lie that the killings were the result of a spontaneous
demonstration in response to an obscure Internet video supposedly offensive to
radical Islamists.
The message: don’t blame us – blame those who offend
Islamists (conservatives, Republicans, etc.).
(Indeed, rather than sending our military to eliminate
the enemy in Libya, the Obama administration arrested the poor sap who made the
offending video.)
(*JUST SHAKING MY HEAD*)
The most recent documents forced out of the State
Department will make you think I’m being too kind to the Benghazi betrayers
controlling the Executive Branch.
On February 11, 2015, Judicial Watch struck smoking-gun
gold in another cache of documents we forced out of the State Department.
The documents show that top aides for then-Secretary of
State Hillary Clinton, including her then-chief of staff Cheryl Mills, knew
from the outset that the Benghazi mission compound was under attack by armed
assailants tied to a terrorist group.
The documents we’ve extracted from the Obama
administration only through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against the
State Department - Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of State (No.
1:14-cv-01511)
Unsurprisingly, the documents make no reference to a
spontaneous demonstration or Internet video... except in an official statement
issued by Hillary Clinton.
(*SNORT*)
* THEN-SECRETARY OF STATE CLINTON DIDN'T GET THE
INFORMATION SHE NEEDED TO PROVIDE POLITICAL COVER FOR HERSELF AND PRESIDENT
OBAMA, SO, SHE SIMPLY "WINGED" IT HOPING THE PRO-OBAMA MEDIA WOULD
RUN WITH IT (WHICH THEY DID) AND SUCCESSFULLY (UNFORTUNATELY) WAS ABLE TO
"RUN OUT THE CLOCK" VIA "THE BIG LIE" TECHNIQUE PERFECTED
BY JOSEPH GOEBBELS.
The Judicial Watch lawsuit that uncovered this material
focused on Mrs. Clinton’s involvement in the Benghazi scandal, seeking:
"Any and all records concerning, regarding, or related to notes, updates, or reports created in response to the September 11, 2012 attack on the U.S, Consulate in Benghazi, Libya. This request includes but is not limited to, notes, taken by then Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton or employees of the Office of the Secretary of State during the attack and its immediate aftermath."
Mrs. Clinton had said she took notes on Benghazi for her
recent book but suggested no one could see them.
(*SNORTING WHILE SHAKING MY HEAD*)
She isn’t above the law.
* AT LEAST SHE SHOULDN'T BE...
Congress is asleep, the media is a cheerleader, so hence,
our lawsuit.
* THANK YOU, JUDICIAL WATCH!
We haven’t yet gotten Hillary’s notes, but the chain of
internal emails we did get are extraordinary and track the events surrounding
the terrorist attack in real time.
On September 11, 2012 at 4:07 p.m., Maria Sand (who was
then a Special Assistant to Mrs. Clinton) forwarded an email from the State
Department’s Operations Center entitled “U.S. Diplomatic Mission in Benghazi is
Under Attack (SBU) [Sensitive But Unclassified]” to Cheryl Mills (then-Chief of
Staff), Jacob Sullivan (then-Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy), Joseph McManus
(then-Hillary Clinton’s Executive Assistant), and a list of other Special
Assistants in the Secretary’s office, which read:
"The Regional Security Officer reports the diplomatic mission is under attack. Tripoli reports approximately 20 armed people fired shots; explosions have been heard as well. Ambassador Stevens, who is currently in Benghazi, and four COM [Chief of Mission] personnel are in the compound safe haven. The 17th of February militia is providing security support."
This email was sent about 30 minutes after the terrorist
attack began!
* FOLKS... THEY SENT SUSAN RICE OUT TO SPREAD "THE
BIG LIE" DAYS AFTER THE ACTUAL ATTACK! AND SO RICE LIED! AND NO ONE "IN THE
KNOW" CORRECTED HER! (REINFORCING THE POINT THAT SHE WAS ORDERED TO LIE!)
On September 11, 2012 4:38 p.m., State Department Foreign
Service Officer Lawrence Randolph forwarded Mills, Sullivan and McManus an
email from Scott Bultrowicz, who was the former director of the Diplomatic
Security Service (ousted following review of the attack), with the subject
line, “Attack on Benghazi 09112012”...
* WHICH READ:
"DSCC received a phone call from [REDACTED] in Benghazi, Libya initially stating that 15 armed individuals were attacking the compound and trying to gain entrance. The Ambassador is present in Benghazi and currently is barricaded within the compound. There are no injuries at this time and it is unknown what the intent of the attackers is. At approximately 1600 DSCC received word from Benghazi that individuals had entered the compound. At 1614 RSO advised the Libyans had set fire to various buildings in the area, possibly the building that houses the Ambassador [REDACTED] is responding and taking fire."
Nearly seven hours later...
* GEEZUS FRIGGIN' CHRIST, PEOPLE... THEY LEFT OUR PEOPLE
TO DIE! THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN SAYING ALL ALONG!
...at 12:04 am, on September 12, Randolph sends an email
with the subject line: "FW Update 3: Benghazi Shelter Location Also Under
Attack” to Mills, Sullivan, and McManus that has several updates about the
Benghazi attack:
"I just called Ops and they said the DS command center is reporting that the compound is under attack again. I am about to reach out to the DS Command Center."
This email also contains a chain of other, earlier email
updates:
-- September 11, 2012 11:57 p.m. email: “(SBU) DS Command reports the current shelter location for COM personnel in Benghazi is under mortar fire. There are reports of injuries to COM staff.”
-- September 11, 2012 6:06 p.m. email: “Update 2: Ansar al-Sharia Claims Responsibility for Benghazi Attack (SBU) Embassy Tripoli reports the group claimed responsibility on Facebook and Twitter and call for an attack on Embassy Tripoli.”
-- September 11, 2012 4:54 p.m.: “Embassy Tripoli reports the firing at the U.S. Diplomatic Mission in Benghazi has stopped and the compound has been cleared. A response team is on site to locate COM personnel.”
On September 12, 2012, 3:22 AM, Senior Watch Officer
Andrew Veprek forwarded an email to numerous State Department officials, which
was later forwarded to Cheryl Mills and Joseph McManus, with the subject line
“Death of Ambassador Stevens in Benghazi”:
"Embassy Tripoli confirms the death of Ambassador John C. (Chris) Stevens in Benghazi. His body has been recovered and is at the airport in Benghazi."
(*SAD NOD*)
Two hours later, Joseph McManus forwards the news about
Ambassador Stevens’ death to officials in the State Department Legislative
Affairs office with instructions not to “forward to anyone at this point.”
Despite her three top staff members being informed that a
terrorist group had claimed credit for the attack, Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton issued an official statement, also produced to Judicial Watch, claiming
the assault may have been in “a response to inflammatory material posted on the
Internet.”
* FOLKS... WE KNOW WHAT HAPPENED... AND WE KNOW WHY IT
HAPPENED...
* AND... THEY GOT AWAY WITH IT - AT LEAST IN TERMS OF
OBAMA'S RE-ELECTION. (BTW... HOW'S THAT WORKING OUT FOR YOU...???)
(*SMIRK*)
* HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON - LIKE HER HUSBAND - IS A SERIAL
LIAR.
Cheryl Mills asks that the State Department stop
answering press inquiries at 12:11 am on September 12, despite the ongoing
questions about “Chris’ whereabouts.” In
an email to State Department spokesman Victoria Nuland, Jacob Kennedy, and
Phillipe Reines Mills (then-Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Strategic Communications
and Senior Communications Advisor) write:
"Can we stop answering emails for the night Toria b/c now the first one [Hillary Clinton’s “inflammatory material posted on the Internet” statement] is hanging out there."
Earlier in the chain of emails, Nuland told Mills,
Sullivan, and Patrick Kennedy (Under Secretary of State for Management) that
she “ignored” a question about Ambassador Stevens' status and whereabouts from
a CBS News reporter.
Think about this, Cheryl Mills, Hillary’s top aide, [went]
to bed and let hang out there the lie that Hillary Clinton put out about the
attack [rather] than tell reporters the truth about the attack - which by that
time had escalated to include mortar fire.
(*JUST SHAKING MY HEAD*)
Another top State Department official was eager to
promote a statement from Rabbi David Saperstein, then-Director of the Religious
Action Center of Reform Judaism, a liberal group. The September 2012 statement
condemned “the video that apparently spurred these incidents. It was clearly
crafted to provoke, offend, and to evoke outrage.” Michael Posner,
then-Assistant Secretary of State for Democracy, Human Rights and Labor,
forwarded the statement on September 12, 2012, to Wendy Sherman, Under
Secretary of State for Political Affairs, and Jacob Sherman with the note...
"This is an excellent statement – our goal should be to get the Conference of Presidents, the ADL etc. to follow suit and use similar language."
* FOLKS... HOW MUCH EVIDENCE IS NECESSARY TO CONVINCE
EVEN THE MOST DIED-IN-THE-WOOL CLINTONITE THAT THOUGH HILLARY AND HER TOP
PEOPLE AT STATE (AND ELSEWHERE THROUGHOUT THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH) KNEW THE TRUTH,
FOR POLITICAL REASONS THEY CHOSE TO DELIBERATELY LIE TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE -
AND TO SEND SUSAN RICE TO LIE ON THE SUNDAY NEWS SHOWS!
* OH... AND BTW...
President Obama nominated the Left-wing Rabbi Saperstein
to be Ambassador-at-Large for International Religious Freedom in July
2014. The U.S. Senate confirmed him in
December 2014.
Also included in the documents are foreign press reports
establishing the cause of Ambassador Chris Steven’s death as being from
asphyxiation. According to the reports, doctors attending Stevens said he could
have been saved had he arrived at the hospital earlier.
(*PURSED LIPS*)
* AND IF THE CONSULATE HAD BEEN PROPERLY SECURED AS
STEVENS HAD BEGGED FOR AGAIN AND AGAIN PERHAPS NO AMERICANS WOULD HAVE DIED!
The Obama administration has blacked out reactions from
White House and top State Department officials to news stories published on
September 14, 2012. One of the stories quoted a visitor who criticized the lack
of security at the Benghazi Special Mission Compound and another headlined,
“America ‘was warned of attack and did nothing.’” What was the reaction of key
Obama officials to this truth-telling about the media. They don’t want you to
know. If it were helpful, it would have been released to us!
(*NOD*)
Other emails list well over 20 invited participants in a
“SVTC” (secure video teleconference). The invited participants for the
September 14, 2012, early morning call include senior White House, CIA, and
State Department political appointees.
Details about that call, which likely documents the cover-up operation
on Benghazi, haven’t been produced to Judicial Watch.
* SERIOUSLY, FOLKS... ANYONE WHO BELIEVES THAT THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION
DIDN'T PULL OFF A SUCCESSFUL COVER-UP (AT LEAST SUCCESSFUL ENOUGH TO SEE OBAMA
RE-ELECTED) IS BEYOND REASONING WITH. (AND THAT GOES FOR THE IRS COVER-UP AS
WELL!)
These emails leave no doubt that Hillary Clinton’s
closest advisers knew the truth about the Benghazi attack from almost the
moment it happened. And...
* AND THUS...
...it is inescapable that Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton knowingly lied when she planted the false story about “inflammatory
material being posted on the Internet.”
* FOLKS... IT REALLY IS THAT SIMPLE.
The contempt for the public’s right to know is evidenced
not only in these documents, but also in the fact that we had to file a lawsuit
in federal court to obtain them. The Obama gang’s cover-up continues to
unravel, despite its unlawful secrecy and continued slow-rolling of
information.
Congress, if it ever decides to do its job, cannot act
soon enough to put Hillary Clinton, Cheryl Mills, and every other official in
these emails under oath.
* I JUST DON'T SEE IT. NOT WITH BOEHNER RUNNING THE
HOUSE; NOT WITH MCCONNELL RUNNING THE SENATE.
* STILL... BEAR THE FOLLOWING IN MIND:
