Besides the State Department’s notorious refusal to provide adequate protection to the U.S. Special Mission, another surprising reason has surfaced to account for the dismal security conditions at the fated Benghazi compound.
TEL AVIV – Murdered Ambassador Chris Stevens had originally planned to arrive in Benghazi with Pentagon assistance and attempted to coordinate with the Defense Department in order to be housed on a protected coalition naval vessel for a period of time.
Retired U.S. Army special forces Colonel Jamie Williamson, president of the Special Ops OPSEC Education Fund, joined SiriusXM host Stephen K. Bannon on Friday’s Breitbart News Daily to discuss the House Benghazi Committee report, which was released this week.
Breitbart News National Security Editor Dr. Sebastian Gorka took a look at the House Benghazi Committee’s report on Thursday’s Breitbart News Daily with SiriusXM host Stephen K. Bannon.
The House Benghazi report makes it completely clear that no one peddling the “spontaneous video protest” theory of the attack ever believed it, not for a single hour.
The question of whether rescue was possible for the four Americans who were murdered by terrorists in Benghazi has haunted the debate for years, with defenders of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton insisting that unless “smoking gun” proof of a “stand down” order delivered to choppers full of Marines could be uncovered, they were guilty of no wrongdoing.
The final report from the House Benghazi Committee is due in a few weeks. The White House is refusing to answer the final round of questions from House investigators, while the Democratic minority in the House is trying to upstage the majority’s work by releasing their own report a few weeks early.
The State Department admits that current Secretary of State John Kerry used a “non-official account” to send classified material to his predecessor Hillary Clinton, who was using an unsecure, off-the-books private server to handle her email.
A new batch of emails from Hillary Clinton’s server contradict the official media narrative that Hillary Clinton did a great job in her testimony before the House Benghazi Committee, answering an assortment of questions regarding reckless sharing of classified information.
The Committee first showed signs of going weak when it informed Breitbart News that top Clinton aide Huma Abedin would not be asked under oath about the Clinton Foundation, even though Breitbart News reported that Clinton aides were talking about Benghazi with Clinton Foundation staff. Why? The Committee said that questions about the Foundation do not relate to the Committee’s charter. Committee chairman Rep. Trey Gowdy skipped the Abedin hearing, anyway to hang out at a hotel with police chiefs.
In truth, a number of congressional investigations have lasted much longer than 17 months, including the 1976 House Select Committee on Assassinations, the Senate Select Committee on Improper Activities in Labor-Management Relations from 1957-1960, and the truly immense investigations conducted after the Civil War and World War II. The Benghazi probe has a long time to go.
“I did not email during the day except on rare occasions when I was able to,” Hillary Clinton said. Clinton spent a chunk of time at Thursday’s House Benghazi Committee hearing defending herself against the suggestion that she exposed classified information on email, saying that she did not conduct the business of the U.S. government on email.
“I think it’s fair to say congresswoman, this was, we all knew, a risky undertaking, more reminiscent of the way diplomacy was practiced in the 19th century,” Hillary Clinton told Rep. Susan Brooks at Thursday’s House Benghazi Committee hearing, noting the lack of funding for security and the low-technology venture.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton defended the Muslim religion in her opening remarks at the House Benghazi Committee hearing Thursday.
Hillary Clinton will face tough questions about the role played by her secret Libya adviser Sidney Blumenthal during her testimony Thursday before the House Benghazi Committee.
A new poll from Citizens United, conducted among two thousand members between October 16 and October 20, shows overwhelming support for both the work of the House Benghazi Committee and the appointment of an impartial special prosecutor to investigate Hillary Clinton’s email server.
A House Benghazi Committee spokesperson told Breitbart News that Gowdy “wasn’t able to make it” to hear Huma Abedin testify because he was speaking to a law enforcement group in his home state when Abedin testified before the Committee Friday. Hillary Clinton will testify next, on Thursday, in a hearing that the Committee is downplaying but which, of course, is massively important.
WASHINGTON—Rep. Trey Gowdy is firing back at Democratic Rep. Elijah Cummings’s effort to discredit his work on the House Benghazi Committee ahead of Hillary Clinton’s testimony Thursday.
Huma Abedin is a key figure in the Benghazi scandal, and could have information about how the administration changed its talking points to blame the terrorist attack on a Youtube video. Abedin is also at the center of Clinton’s private email scandal and various other controversies involving her work for the private consulting firm Teneo Holdings, having recruited a State Department official to the firm on her government email address while on a trip to Cambodia with Clinton.
Republican New York Rep. Richard Hanna’s congressional opponent in his home state said that Hanna is criticizing the House Benghazi Committee in an effort to gain Democratic support when he runs for re-election or to earn a Hillary Clinton administration post if he doesn’t run for re-election.
The Obama administration has discovered a chain of emails that Hillary Rodham Clinton failed to turn over when she provided what she said was the full record of work-related correspondence as secretary of state, officials said Friday, adding to the growing questions related to the Democratic presidential front-runner’s unusual usage of a private email account and server while in government.
The State Department admits that Hillary Clinton turned over nothing voluntarily to the federal government, despite her legal duty to provide copies of her official emails once she left office. The agency now says it got some emails back from her only after it sent a letter demanding her emails.
Clinton’s tech-guru Bryan Pagliano has announced he will ‘Take the Fifth’ as the FBI and Congress investigates his boss’ shady email system. So her allies are moaning about the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy and screaming at the top of their lungs that Hillary hasn’t been indicted for any crimes, ad are pretending that none of this is happening.
Because we no longer have anything resembling the rule of law, it’s an open question whether Democrat royalty like Clinton will ever be held to account – they simply do not live under the laws that govern even the highest-ranking yeomen and peons. The latest twist in Clinton’s flaunting of the law, and reckless endangerment of national security, to hide her activities as Secretary of State from Congress and the public is a mysterious two-month gap in her email record – just like the missing minutes from those infamous Nixon tapes.
