Things Learned About Benghazi– The Philadelphia Inquirer appears not to have covered yesterday’s Benghazi Whistleblower Hearing before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee regarding the attack last Sept. 11 that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and information officer Sean Smith along with security personal Glen Doherty and Tyrone S. Woods former Navy SEALs who rushed to the scene when they heard of the battle.
If you missed it, here’s some things to take from it courtesy of Breitbart.Com:
1. Two “stand-down” orders were given while the Benghazi attacks were in progress.
2. The “protest” about a YouTube video was a complete fabrication by the Obama administration.
3. Cheryl Mills, Clinton’s lawyer at the State Department, told witnesses not to speak to House investigators.
4. The diplomatic personnel on the ground acted with incredible, unheralded heroism.
5. Democrats came to rebut the eyewitnesses with talking points.
Bryan Preston of PJMedia.com further notes that it was revealed that Stevens was in Benghazi to create a permanent diplomatic post in the city at the command of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton despite her denying repeated requests from the U.S. team in Libya to upgrade security there.
Preston also reports that the Democrats on the committee — especially Elijah Cummings of Maryland and William Clay of Missouri — tried to destroy Mark Thompson, a member of the Foreign Emergency Support Team who
testified that his section had been cut out of decision making during
the attack.
