Nothing will come of it, but it is still interesting to point out that for the first time EVER former CIA Director Leon Panetta will give testimony to congress about Libya.

It is important to note that Panetta and Hillary Clinton worked together on Operation Zero Footprint, the covert weapons running and regime change operation which began in March 2011 as a result of President Obama authorizing via presidential “finding memo“.

Clinton and Panetta worked closely together during their Libyan intervention and overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi.   ~See The Benghazi Brief~

After Panetta left the CIA, General Petraeus took over and was ‘technically‘ in charge of the CIA on the night of the Benghazi attack 9/11/12.   However, Petraeus was removed from testifying before congress by the affair with Paula Broadwell which led to his resignation.  Mike Morell took over as interim CIA chief two days before the testimony. 

It was Morell who actually testified publicly before congress.  Immediately thereafter Morell went to work for CBS and also for Hillary Clinton (*wink*wink*), and was replaced by John Brennan.

PanettaObamaCIAWASHINGTON DC – Former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and ex-CIA Director David Petraeus will be interviewed this week in a pair of closed-door sessions of the House’s Select Committee on Benghazi, the panel announced on Monday.

Petraeus will answer questions on Wednesday. Panetta, who also served as head of the CIA before taking the reins at the Pentagon, will appear before the committee on Friday.

[…] In addition to Panetta and Petraeus, the committee will also interview Charlene Lamb, a former State Department official in charge of diplomatic security, and ex-Pentagon chief of staff Jeremy Bash. Those interviews, on Jan. 7 and 13, will also occur behind closed doors.

Bash has never been interviewed by any of the seven other congressional committees that have previously investigated the 2012 attack in Benghazi, the committee said. (read more)
