VIDEO: Benghazi Emails?

March 18, 2015

Monday  16 March 2015 / Hour 1, Block C: Larry Johnson, NoQuarter, in re: 12 Sept 2012: a catastrophe under way in Libya. Today, it's a failed state; Ansar al-Sharia & al Qaeda; now a province of ISIS.  However, in 2012, Libya was identified as a possible [healthy] state.  How did Mrs Clinton;s responsibilities at State rin into Benghazi?  Pat Kennedy was sort of he secretary of the S=seventh floor – "M" – and directly under him was Security; info filter up through Kennedy to Clinton.  Had rejected repeated requests for increased security in Libya:  they saw this as an intell op and that CIA should pay for it, not State.  Since the Achille Lauro event, a protocol had been in place for interagency process to turn on – but Mrs Clinton shut it down!  Mark Thompson in Counterterrorism Bureau: everyone was directed not to contact him, as that would suggest that there was a real attack. To understand this, people need more than a five-second attention san.  email: it was the days before the attack that count as Amb Stevens was running an op; shd have been on SIPERNET or another secret network.  They didn’t take time to classify it.  Turkey and Saudi getting weapons to send to Syrian rebels, but they were going into the hands of Islamist radicals.  Mark Thompson made repeated efforts via Kennedy to get info; he knew that mortars were being fired and that Amb Stevens was missing.  Secure video teleconference.   . . .   There must have been an enormous amt of comms going back and forth. There exists a record of that somewhere.  . . .  The stone wall just came down.  . . .  This Administration claims that it wants to [defer to] Teheran in order to fight ISIS – although this Administration started by arming ISIS.
Hillary Doubles Down on Stupid » Current Affairs | This gets worse by the day.  Just when you think that Hillary has probed the depths of mendacity and foolishness, surprise! She goes to new lows.  For me this is sad. The Hillary I met in person is a kind, funny, intelligent person. I do not recognize that She-Hag that appeared yesterday at the UN and proceeded to shove her feet into her maw . . . And Bill completes the debacle by claiming he’s only sent two emails in his life. Sweet. I am sure that she discussed classified information in her emails. But, her personal server did not allow her to get access on her personal device to the “sgov” server (SGOV is the SECRET internet connection for State). Whoever came up with this idea of creating a server at the Clinton residence in New York should be fired immediately. Awful. [video]
