If you have followed our Benghazi research, and read the Benghazi Brief, it appears Gowdy has all the key players listed for interviews.    However, another key element for the interviews is going to be the sequencing.

Panetta must be interviewed first because it was he and Hillary who developed and executed “operation zero footprint” in Libya; Hillary should be questioned last.   This approach puts the primary constructionists, the “whys”, as bookends – the other interviewees fill in the details as to who, what, where and when.
Tom Donilon’s interview serves one primary function – he was the link between Hillary (state dept) and Obama (white house) – he was, and “is”, the last layer of plausible deniability protection from the president; Donilon was also Hillary’s designated contact to be liaison between what she was doing, and informing POTUS.
Tommy Vietor worked for  Tom Donilon, and it was Vietor and Donilon who were in the situation room on 9/11/12 conveying information to Denis McDonough, Obama’s Chief of Staff.  Hillary was in her DC office that afternoon when events erupted and told to stay away from the White House. 
Just like Ambassador Stevens and Sean Smith, Hillary Clinton was out beyond the wire and Donilon/McDonough knew she was an immediate sunlight risk if she came to the White House.  Clinton was off the range, this was 100% her porcelain baby, when it crashed the White House told her she owned it.       
WASHINGTON DC – A special House committee looking into the deadly Benghazi, Libya, attacks in 2012 will interview a host of current and former high-ranking Obama administration officials as it speeds the pace of the investigation. (more…)

Liberal Democrats are just too busy, and beside all that they hate Israel – period.

WASHINGTON DC – Vice President Joe Biden won’t attend Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to Congress on Iran next month, the vice president’s office confirmed to TPM Friday. The news was first reported by the Associated Press.
Biden’s office said that the vice president, who ordinarily would sit alongside House Speaker John Boehner during a joint session of Congress, is expected to be traveling abroad. (more…)

Gee, ya think ?
The mere fact the White House is trotting out Susan Rice to share the non-security policy security policy, should tell you all you need to know.

Essentially the crux of the back-story is that Netanyahu contacted the White House about the invitation to talk to congress, prior to accepting the invitation; the White House never contacted Netanyahu back.  
Absent of the White House responding, and out of an abundance of caution to appearances, Netanyahu accepted the invitation.    Then whammo, the White House claims President Obama was disparaged.  It would appear the White House set up the narrative intentionally.  

(Via WFB) The entire spat with the White House over Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s invitation to speak to Congress was entirely manufactured by the White House.
The truth about the incident, in which the White House complained that it was terribly wrong for Netanyahu to accept House Speaker John Boehner’s (R., Ohio) invitation without first notifying the administration, was made evident by a correction added to a New York Times article that greatly changed the timeline of events that effected the situation.

What the heck is President Obama trying to say here?
Good grief, did CAIR type this speech for his teleprompter? *Whiskey* – *Tango* – *Foxtrot*

…”Humanity has been grappling with these questions throughout human history. Unless we get on our high horse and think this is unique to some other place. Remember that during the Crusades and Inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ. And our home country, slavery and Jim Crow all too often was justified in the name of Christ.”…

Is he actually saying modern Christians are just like ISIS?

Quite a significant difference from President Obama’s strongly worded letters....

However unfortunate the horrifying origin, this is actually a very fortuitous opportunity for King Abdullah (pictured middle and below) to go full wolverine against ISIS.  Anyone who follows Mid-East events well know the next target of ISIS was going to be Jordan, it is merely a matter of time. 
The question of ISIS attacking Jordan is not “if”, but rather “when”, and ISIS has the full support of Turkey’s Erdogan toward that end.
We had predicted ISIS to launch cross border attacks against Jordan within the next year, and we are absolutely certain President Obama would not lift a finger to assist.  The only military support Jordan could expect would be from Egypt who has vowed to assist if Jordan was attacked.  That pledge from Egypt is part of the reason ISIS has now expanded its operations into Libya and the Sinai region. 
ISIS leadership know they need several front’s to keep Egypt occupied hence the recent alignment with Hamas, The Muslim Brotherhood and Ansar Beit al-Maqdis.  King Abdullah knows the window of opportunity to launch attacks against ISIS -and not incur problems from tenuous extremist internal political issues- is right now. 
(Reuters) – Jordan’s King Abdullah vowed a “relentless” war against Islamic State on their own territory on Wednesday in response to a video published by the hard-line group showing a captured Jordanian air force pilot being burned alive in a cage.
Jordan hanged two Iraqi jihadists, one a woman, on Wednesday and vowed to intensify military action against Islamic State.
“We are waging this war to protect our faith, our values and human principles and our war for their sake will be relentless and will hit them in their own ground,” state television quoted the king as saying during a security meeting. (more…)

… And also states they are very comfortable meeting with the Islamic terror group. Well, at least they are open about it now.
(Via WFB) The State Department admitted on Monday that it misled reporters about a recent delegation of Muslim Brotherhood leaders and allies who were hosted for a meeting with officials at Foggy Bottom.

State Department spokeswoman Jennifer Psaki claimed last week that the controversial delegation of key Brotherhood leaders and allies had been “organized and funded by Georgetown University.”
However, the university denied this is the case when reached by the Washington Free Beacon.
Psaki clarified her original comments made on Jan. 29 during a Monday meeting with reporters. (more…)

And so it begins…. All of the relevant material is encapsulated within this Saint Louis Dispatch report. The juror obviously held an agenda, and manipulated his way onto the jury intent on creating antagonism.  He sat through the MURDER trial, then when it came to deliberations, presto – he sat in corner and refused to participate.

Result = Mistrial

ST. LOUIS • A five-day murder trial ended in a hung jury last week in St. Louis Circuit Court when one of the jurors sat in the corner of the jury room and refused to participate in deliberations.

“The DinDuNuffins” – Ralph Alexander, 20, and Dontrell Sanders, 25,

The lone juror never cast a vote over the nine hours of deliberations, said the judge presiding at trial, St. Louis Circuit Judge Jimmie M. Edwards.
The jury forewoman wrote nine notes to the judge over two days, alerting him to the trouble they were having with “Juror 1317” in the secret deliberations of the jury room.
She told the judge that the dissident juror at first pretended he didn’t speak English. The man, about 40 years old, is from Somalia but does speak English and had no issues during jury selection or in reading a transcript during the trial itself, the judge said. The man later told the other jurors — and the judge — that it was against his religion to sit in judgment of someone else. Edwards said the man never mentioned anything of the sort during the selection process. (more…)

Maryland, the most progressive and race-driven Marxist state within the union. Time and time again Maryland shows up as a hotbed of racial violence.
In this latest attack another school teacher was brutally beaten and left bloodied on the floor. The media claim a “racially insensitive” remark provoked the student to attack. In Maryland a “racially insensitive remark” could be the teacher saying “all lives matter”, that’s enough.
And don’t forget what the school district did last month….

Prince George’s County – A student punched a Maryland teacher last week over a racially insensitive comment, witnesses say. (more…)

(Washington Times) The chairman of a special House committee created to investigate the 2012 Benghazi tragedy on Monday instructed his staff to review secretly recorded tapes and intelligence reports that detail Hillary Rodham Clinton’s role in advocating and executing the war in Libya, opening the door for a possible expansion of his probe.

Rep. Trey Gowdy’s decision to seek a review of the materials, first highlighted in a series of Washington Times stories last week, carries consequences for the 2016 election in which Mrs. Clinton is expected to seek the presidency. It could also move the committee to examine the strained relationship between the State Department and Pentagon, which sharply disagreed over the 2011 war in Libya and the response to the terrorist attack on the U.S. compound in Benghazi a year later.
The Times reported last week that U.S. intelligence did not support Mrs. Clinton’s story of an impending genocide in Libya that she used to sell the war against Moammar Gadhafi’s regime. The newspaper also unveiled secretly recorded tapes from Libya that showed that the Pentagon and Democratic Congressman Dennis Kucinich so distrusted her stewardship of the war that they opened their own diplomatic channels with the Gadhafi regime.
