Stop me if you heard this one….Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and Ben Ghazi Walk into a burned out embassy…
The House has released an interim progress report on the events leading up to the attacks in Benghazi that killed four including our Ambassador, and the actions that followed.
-Reductions of security levels prior to the attacks in Benghazi were approved at the highest levels of the State Department, up to and including Secretary Clinton. This fact contradicts her testimony before the House Foreign Affairs Committee on January 23, 2013.
-In the days following the attacks, White House and senior State Department officials altered accurate talking points drafted by the Intelligence Community in order to protect the State Department.
-Contrary to Administration rhetoric, the talking points were not edited to protect classified information. Concern for classified information is never mentioned in email traffic among senior Administration officials.
The report is not flattering, but the press will never cover it except to say that it is petty and vindictive. There were signs of unrest and attacks. Clinton thinned security despite concerns. The Obama administration invented “truths” to hide the results of their collective incompetence. Americans died.
Not a one of them has been held to account for any of it. And the Democrats seem happy, willing, even eager to nominate Clinton as their presidential candidate for 2016.
What does that say about them?
