Two familiar questions have recently been resurrected by the professional left. Both questions essentially stem from obfuscation and intentional deflection around the Libyan attack that killed four Americans in Benghazi.
When the conversation comes up about Benghazi, much of it is now focused on the lies and cover-up after the attack itself. In an effort to diminish inquiry, the professional left throw out a familiar prose: “Oh yeah, well if it’s a cover up what exactly were they trying to cover up”?
Or more professionally stated:
• What was the policy failure in Libya that created the Benghazi crisis and immediately created risk to the Obama administration?
WASHINGTON DC – House Republicans moved on two fronts Friday to dig for answers on Benghazi, with Speaker John Boehner announcing a special committee to investigate and a key panel subpoenaing Secretary of State John Kerry to testify.
In a significant shift, Boehner announced that the House will vote on establishing a select committee to investigate, on the heels of newly released emails that raised additional questions about the White House’s response.
Top Republicans claimed those emails should have been released to Congress months ago, and Boehner signaled those concerns prompted him to rethink the need for a select committee.
“Americans learned this week that the Obama Administration is so intent on obstructing the truth about Benghazi that it is even willing to defy subpoenas issued by the standing committees of the People’s House. These revelations compel the House to take every possible action to ensure the American people have the truth about the terrorist attack on our consulate that killed four of our countrymen,” he said in a statement.

After you read this article, and the email, you begin to understand why the President of Libya was gobsmacked when Susan Rice attributed the impetus of the Benghazi attack to a U-Tube video. The State Department had just told his Ambassador, Aujali, it was a planned and coordinated terror attack by al-Qaeda elements – then the U.S. UN Ambassador goes on TV with him and begins blaming a U-Tube video.
Sharyl Attkisson – A newly-released government email indicates that within hours of the Sept. 11, 2012 attacks on Americans in Benghazi, Libya; the State Department had already concluded with certainty that the Islamic militia terrorist group Ansar al Sharia was to blame.
The private, internal communication directly contradicts the message that President Obama,Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Susan Rice and White House press secretary Jay Carney repeated publicly over the course of the next several weeks. They often maintained that an anti-Islamic YouTube video inspired a spontaneous demonstration that escalated into violence.
The email is entitled “Libya update from Beth Jones. ” Jones was then-Assistant Secretary of State to Hillary Clinton. According to the email, Jones spoke to Libya’s Ambassador at 9:45am on Sept. 12, 2012 following the attacks. (more…)
Tommy Vietor (Former NSC Spokesman) was on Brett Baier’s show Special Report tonight. The entire conversation was an interesting display in “Parseltongue” and “Obfuscation”. I’ll look for entire segment:

However, with that ‘Rhodes’ smoking gun email, people are asking who directed Ben Rhodes to deliver the false narrative about the Benghazi Attack and the lies about the U-Tube video.
For over a year-and-a-half we have researched both the attack itself, and the surrounding story coordinated by the various players in and out of the White House.
Within our research we can answer the question:
“Who above Ben Rhodes told him to create the lie”?
If you want to know the answer you must absorb the entire construct, as it developed, because as you are well aware it’s fraught with various degrees of separation and ass covering.
So we’ll walk you through the process to the exact moment when the U-Tube video narrative was first announced, and who announced it. We’ll also prove not only who inside the White House created it, but provide the evidence to rebuke any indication it could have been created outside of the White House. (more…)
The brother of Attkisson’s old boss at CBS turns out to be the guy who directed Ambassador Rice to deliver the Benghazi lies. Is it a surprise her CBS boss would not let her dig in and do the investigative reporting ?
Sharyl Attkisson via Facebook – Newly-released documents reveal direct White House involvement in steering the public narrative about the September 11, 2012 terrorist attacks in Benghazi, Libya, toward that of a spontaneous protest that never happened. (more…)
When you combine the dots of testimony and information, and pull back from the pixels, a clear image begins to emerge. The character visible in the image is actually the artist, Denis McDonough.... Here’s the High-Def Version:
WASHINGTON – The CIA’s former deputy director disclosed Wednesday that Obama administration officials were alerted the day before they went on national television that a key tenet of their original Benghazi storyline might be inaccurate. But he did not explain why the administration continued to cling to its narrative even after U.S. intelligence debunked reports that the deadly attack was born out of a protest over an anti-Islam video.
In often testy exchanges with Republicans who accused him of a cover-up, Michael Morell flatly denied that he “inappropriately altered and influenced” the infamous Benghazi talking points to downplay the role of terrorism in the attacks. (more…)

Just when you thought the domestic battle for “hearts and minds” couldn’t get any more perverse, in steps “helper Monkey” Hollywood to drag us down into the sewer, reaching a new low in cultural marxism.
Dragging us down into the sewer, where the Cultural Marxists Trolls dwell….. Ewwwww.
There has been an ongoing psyops war waged by the Obama Administration and its sycophants against the U.S. military.
Traditionally, the U.S. military has always enjoyed high approval ratings from the American public at large – they support the military in funding; in its non-combat humanitarian missions as diplomatic outreach (such as the US Navy Hospital Ships, USNS Comfort and USNS Mercy); and are, for the most part, proud of the work that the US military does in defending freedom and the highest ideals of “America” –
individual liberty, peace, free trade, domestic stability among the many hallmarks of the “shining city on the hill”. In very few other countries, do so many citizens have direct experience – having served, themselves – or a first degree relative connection to someone who has served in the armed forces. (more…)
(Via MediaIte) In the new book HRC, by The Hill’s Amie Parnes and Bloomberg’s Jonathan Allen, General David Petraeus praised Hillary Clinton as a potential president, specifically citing what many consider her biggest obstacle as a candidate: her role as Secretary of State overseeing the American compound in Benghazi when it was attacked in 2012.
“She’d make a tremendous president,” Petraeus said. “Like a lot of great leaders, her most impressive qualities were most visible during tough times. In the wake of the Benghazi attacks, for example, she was extraordinarily resolute, determined, and controlled.”
On This Week With George Stephanopoulos, Jon Karl brought this up to Representative Tom Cole (R-OK) and asked if it “took the wind out of the sails” of Benghazi as an anti-Hillary talking point. (read morewith video)
Good video below from Senator James Inhofe (Oklahoma) on Benghazi.
Recent reports are indicating CIA Deputy Director Mike Morell was the person inside the intelligence community who was working to shield Hillary Clinton. Mr. Morell spent two years as the head of the CIA’s main analytic arm, the Directorate of Intelligence 2011 and 2012.
Morell became the interim CIA Director when General Petraeus stepped down due to his personal issues and convenient for the administration extra-marital affair. [ Eric Holder’s FBI was holding all the investigative information over the affair – *wink* *wink*]
A September 15th, 2012 email from the Benghazi CIA Chief of Section, soon to hit the media cycle, essentially states they had been trying for days to politely say to the top of the CIA -political side- Benghazi was a direct terrorist attack and could not understand why the political side (career Morell manipulating story to non-career Petraeus) was spinning another story.
In the direct language contained within the memo the Station Chief underlined it was NOT a spontaneous protest turned violent. (more…)
