State Department Preparing for
Bombshell Benghazi Revelations?

Breitbart´s Big Peace, by AWR Hawkins

Original Article

Posted By:Dreadnought, 12/14/2012 9:21:26 PM

This week, U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice withdrew her name from consideration as the next Secretary of State, while current Secretary of State Hillary Clinton went from definitely testifying on Benghazi next week to a slightly less-certain "maybe" testifying on Benghazi next week. While Rice´s and Clinton´s respective announcements could be unrelated, it seems more than likely that they are connected. Moreover, it seems likely these developments are indicative of a State Dept that is preparing for bombshell Benghazi revelations to be released with or without Clinton´s testimony.

I see she is still wearing the phony blue contacts! Isn´t that sort of like a black person straightening their hair....or a white person pretending to be an indian. Dems are the definition of fake.

Hillary will delay testifying until after most of Congress has gone home for the holidays. Once the focus has gone to family and the holidays, she´ll try to sneak it all under the radar of the media.

This picture alone should eliminate Hillary from 2016.

But anyway,I wouldn´t count on any earthshaking news to come out of this review. Obama has everybody in his back pocket. Oh,there will be some measure of condemnation but nothing firing squad worthy.Rice got out because there was too much proof she was a liar.

The article seems to be mostly "could be".

i.e. inferring the motives of Rice and Clinton and what might be in a report we might never get to read.

It could be right, speculators sometimes are.

What do Benghazi & Fast & Furious have in common? Both were operations intended to put arms in the hands of thinly masked terrorists.

Unarmed security. US weapons in the hands of terrorists. Enough military power standing by to flatten the whole city around the compound told to "stand down." Top level of government knowing there was grave danger to US lives before and during the attack.

What can be more shocking?

Just look at that picture of her. That is one ugly ass woman! Geez already. One
has to wonder what the environment was for her to get a look on her face like
that. Maybe it was, "Who, crazy little old fish face me involved in dereliction
that got Americans murdered? Nuts! Like me!".

Don´t be so sure nothing will come of the Benghazi debacle. Bamster has three new lost battles in his quiver since his, ahem, landslide election: The Illinois overturn of concealed carry, the loss by unions in Michigan and Rice getting kicked to the curb. More is to come.

Obama and Chicago thugocracy Inc might have everything wired at the national level but they have much to be desired at the state level. They are losing again and again and again as more uninformed Americans catch on to their ways. The lost battles will add up and take their toll. That´s a good thing!

Here is what the New Media should be hammering this administration on EVERY DAY:

- Watergate saw NO ONE get killed.
- The Watergate cover-up did not HIDE 30 survivors from Congress and media questioning.
- The Media hounded the Nixon White House EVERY DAY until Nixon resigned, for the sake of the country.
- The Nixon tapes were DEMANDED and received by an Congressional investigation committee.

THEN, the New Media should show how THIS administration has lied, stonewalled, and covered-up at every turn.

Now if she testifies at all she can say it might have happened that way , but she just can´t remember due to the seriousness of her injury.

Even though Hillary will not be testifing, she wants to state for the record that she can´t understand that it is so easy for her to forget about Benghazi (due to her head injury) why can´t everyone else just forget about Benghazi as well.

"The bigger the front, the bigger the behind." With this rule as a guide, i would say that the cover-up is huge. Was there anyone who believed the cover story with Susan Rice? Send out someone who can testify she knew nothing? "That´s my story, and I´m stickin´ to it."
Hillary is the bigger smelling , rotten fish, as we´ve known since her cookie baking days. Obama is the master baiter in this fishy story, and his tales all are based on lies.
Since the republican´s think they have been already defeated for 2016, perhaps they could do something altruistic for the country now, and expose the game that´s being played on their innocent countrymen.

Mrs Clinton´s purported ailments are short-term. Congress should make it clear that they expect her to testify WHENEVER she can make the time. The newscast on radio stated she will be "working the phones". If she can take that action, then she can "answer the questions" before a Congressional committee.
It is blatantly obvious that Mrs Clinton has been delaying testifying since the attack
occurred. Just issue a subpoena and stop the
nonsense that is under way. Otherwise next week her Christmas tree will fall on her and wipe out her memory. I am not disputing the fact that she may have in fact have had a virus, may have fallen, and may have incurred a concussion. Therefore, a week´s delay may be justified But, that is where it should stop. Otherwise, she is purposely delaying her testimony and Congress should take the appropriate action.



Reply 52 - Posted by: Charactercounts, 12/15/2012 7:28:31 PM     (No. 9068142)

Mrs. Clinton is using the oldest trick in the book to avoid testifying.

How many times have mobsters, financial shysters, or just plain criminals faked illness (the mob boss who roamed NY streets in a bathrobe, mumbling to himself, comes to mind) in order to avoid having to testify, or to stand trial?

She couldn´t remember Whitewater, the Rose Law Firm billing records, and numerous other things--but she was sharp enough to turn $1,000 into $100,000, and to be a Senator and a Secretary of State.

She will just run out the clock on testifying, and will get away with whatever she did or didn´t do vis-a-vis Benghazi.

A Fifth of Obama

You can always rely on the administration of Barack Obama, a former constitutional-law lecturer (or as his résumé-inflating fans put it, “professor”), to do the sleazy thing when it comes to the Constitution the president is sworn to defend. Thus, the performance on Wednesday of Lois Lerner, chief of the Obama IRS’s Conservative Harassment Division, before the House oversight committee. There’s an old scam criminal defendants occasionally pull. They give a bit of exculpatory direct testimony – just enough to gaze plaintively at the jurors and swear, cross-their-hearts, that they are pure as the driven snow. Then

IRS figure who invoked 5th Amendment

The woman at the center of the IRS scandal refused to testify to Congress on Wednesday, but House Republicans said Lois Lerner botched her attempt to invoke her right against self-incrimination and said they likely will force her to come back and explain why the agency targeted conservative political groups. Ms. Lerner’s refusal to testify shifted attention to her onetime boss, former Commissioner Douglas H. Shulman, who apologized to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee but refused to take responsibility, leaving furious lawmakers warning that the Internal Revenue Service could end up facing a special prosecutor.

Early in an opinion issued recently by a unanimous three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, Judge A. Raymond Randolphsaid: “Although the parties have not raised it, one issue needs to be resolved before we turn to the merits of the case.” The issue he raised but could not resolve — that is up to the Supreme Court — illuminates the Obama administration’s George Wallace-like lawlessness. It also demonstrates the judiciary’s duty to restrain presidents who forget the oath they swear to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution.” The appeals court was deciding

Revelations about the Internal Revenue Service targeting conservative groups have raised important questions about the Obama administration’s commitment to the First Amendment. Yet there is ample evidence to suggest that the culture of intimidation in which these tactics were allowed to flourish goes well beyond one agency or a few rogue employees. For years, administration officials have used the power of the federal government to isolate their opponents. Meanwhile, the unionized employees who populate the IRS and other agencies across the country routinely take their cues from union bosses, whose political donations and speeches show their support

As soon as White House counsel Kathryn Ruemmler heard about an upcoming inspector general’s report on the Internal Revenue Service, she knew she had a problem. The notice Ruemmler saw on April 24 gave her a thumbnail sketch of a disturbing finding: that the IRS had improperly targeted tea party and other conservative groups. She shared the news with White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough and other senior White House aides, who all recognized the danger of the findings. But they agreed that it would be best not to share it with President Obama until

CHICAGO — Religiously devout business owners are waging a broad rebellion against providing their employees with contraceptive coverage, bringing dozens of lawsuits that seem certain to land the issue before the Supreme Court. The company owners say their religious beliefs take precedence over a new federal requirement, contained in President Obama’s Affordable Care Act, that they give employees insurance that covers contraceptives. The legal battle took an important step forward Wednesday when an appeals court here heard arguments in two cases brought by business owners who are Catholic. Another challenge is scheduled to be heard Thursday by an appeals court

A Chechen man linked to one of the Boston Marathon bombing suspects was fatally shot early Wednesday in an unusual encounter with the FBI and other law enforcement officers in his apartment in Orlando. According to federal law enforcement officials, the man was being interviewed about whether he and Tamerlan Tsarnaev, one of the bombing suspects, were connected to a two-year-old triple slaying when he attacked an FBI agent. There were conflicting accounts of what happened in the moments before the man was shot. One federal law enforcement official said the man, a professional martial-arts fighter, was shot

Former Rep.

The dam protecting the IRS scandal began to crack today when Lois Lerner, the IRS official who announced, and apologized for, the improper singling out of conservative-leaning organizations by IRS employees under her command, announced through her criminal defense lawyer that she will not testify as scheduled tomorrow before the House Oversight Committee. Rather, she will assert her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. This marks an enormous milestone in the IRS investigation. It can now be taken as more or less established that crimes were committed by Obama administration employees. Lerner’s lawyer tried to minimize the significance

The public got its first look Thursday at Lois Lerner, who has gone from faceless IRS bureaucrat to the face that launched what feels like 1,000 congressional hearings and conspiracy theories.
