Benghazi lies were just standard procedure under Obama

The Benghazi report released Tuesday makes clear that one dreadful constant of President Obama’s foreign policy is simply this: Deflect. Muddy the picture. Question the motivation.

Blame the wrong culprit when naming the right culprit might interfere with your narrative, or if doing so might oblige you to act when you do not wish to act.

In an addendum to the report, Reps. Jim Jordan and Mike Pompeo detail the fact that the administration knew perfectly well in the immediate aftermath of the attack on the American consulate in Benghazi that it had been planned and directed by Islamist radicals as an evil commemoration of 9/11.

For example, at 11:23 p.m. on the night of the attack, Hillary Clinton emailed her daughter, Chelsea, to say, “Two of our officers were killed in Benghazi by an Al Quedalike [sic] group.”

The next morning, she said, “We are working to determine the precise motivations and methods of those who carried out this assault.”

Sound familiar? Of course it does. After the attacks in San Bernardino and Orlando by home-grown terrorists, administration officials made a point of refusing to name the enemy publicly — in this case, ISIS, which had not yet come into existence at the time of Benghazi.

On the day following Orlando, the president himself said we had yet to discern “the precise motivations of the killer,” even though everyone knew by that point he had called 911 to swear his allegiance to ISIS while he was killing people.

Two weeks after the Orlando shooting — two weeks — Attorney General Loretta Lynch said, “I cannot tell you definitively that we will ever narrow it down to one motivation. We will look at all motivations.”

Judge Andrew Napolitano: Intelligence Community Won't Trust Hillary

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was more worried about public relations than saving those caught in the 2012 terrorism attack on the diplomatic outpost in Benghazi, Libya, Judge Andrew Napolitano said Wednesday, and he wonders "who in the intelligence community would want to work for her" should she become president.
"There's two dynamics here," the Fox News senior judicial analyst told the "Fox & Friends" program, while commenting on the report issued from the House Select Committee on Benghazi Tuesday.

"The one that's obvious from the report is that Mrs. Clinton knew the truth and lied about it, told the truth to her daughter, told the truth to the Egyptian foreign minister, lied to the public, lied to the families of the victims as their bodies were being removed in flag draped caskets."

Further, Napolitano commented that the report revealed that the CIA warned Clinton about distributing arms to rebel groups "because many of those groups were masquerading as rebels [when] they were really terrorists."
"How could this woman be the commander-in-chief?" he told the program. "How could she be the president? Who in the intelligence community would want to work for her after this botched disaster of the war in Libya?

Dems circle wagons of lies around Hillary after Benghazi report

House Democrats have gone into full damage control mode over the just-released draft report from the Select Committee on Benghazi with the goal of circling the wagons around their presumptive presidential nominee and of fortifying the false narrative that the Benghazi attacks were provoked by a YouTube video.

And that’s precisely where Rep. Elijah Cummings and his flacks twist themselves into pretzels: because in order to protect Mrs. Clinton, they must also insist that the false narrative of the video was not false.

Except that it was.

I will hand it to them. In their attempt to pre-empt the GOP majority report the day before its release, the Democrats showed great ingenuity. They seized every opportunity to twist statements from multiple witnesses to “prove” that the video was responsible for the Benghazi attacks. Why? Because Mrs. Clinton’s very first statement on the attacks, issued shortly after 10 PM on the night of September 11, 2012, said it was.

Mrs. Clinton showed them how to speak out of both sides of their mouths in her October 2015 testimony before the committee when Rep. Jim Jordan schooled her on her own emails (yes, the emails she deleted because they were just about yoga and weddings).

Just one hour after publicly blaming the attack on “inflammatory material posted on the Internet,” Mrs. Clinton emailed her daughter, masquerading as “Diane Reynolds,” to tell her, “two of our officers were killed in Benghazi by an Al Queda-like [sic] group.”

The next day, Mrs. Clinton spoke with the Egyptian Prime Minister and shared the truth with him as well. “We know that the attack in Libya had nothing to do with the film. It was a planned attack – not a protest.”

And yet, as the days wore on, the administration doubled-down on the YouTube video story, even though there was “no evidence that any of the (internal State Department or intelligence community) accounts blamed a video-inspired protest, or, in fact, any protest at all.”

So why the deception? And why continue to insist on it, as Mrs. Clinton does even today?

Americans at Benghazi post were rescued by Qaddafi officer militia, report reveals

The long-awaited House committee report on the 2012 Benghazi attacks revealed a striking irony: In the end, the forces that came to evacuate State Department and CIA officers that night were not fellow Americans, but a secret unit of former military officers from the Qaddafi regime that Washington – and then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton – had helped overthrow. Their intervention, according to the report, likely saved “over two dozen lives.” “In other words, some of the very individuals the United States had helped remove from power during the Libyan revolution were the only Libyans that came to the assistance of the United States on the night of the Benghazi attacks,” the report said.
