The accepted M.O. as
regards B Obama includes the notion that he is an immature political theorist
with no “new” ideas, bent on an agenda
of social justice that benefits the rich in his world and punishes the rich in
the world of his opposition; a man both
thin skinned and vindictive. His
decision to administer the Sequester in the most hurtful manner possible, is proof of this last point. With the comments below, and his threats against those who know the
truth about Benghazi, give us a second example.
Fox News reports:
At least four career officials at the State Department and
the Central Intelligence Agency have retained lawyers or are in the process of
doing so, as they prepare to provide sensitive information about the Benghazi
attacks to Congress, Fox News has learned.
Victoria Toensing, a former Justice Department official and
Republican counsel to the Senate Intelligence Committee, is now representing
one of the State Department employees. She told Fox News her client and some of
the others, who consider themselves whistle-blowers, have been threatened by
unnamed Obama administration officials.
“I'm not talking generally, I'm talking specifically about
Benghazi – that people have been threatened,” Toensing said in an interview
Monday. “And not just the State Department. People have been threatened at the
CIA.”
Toensing declined to name her client. She also refused to
say whether the individual was on the ground in Benghazi on the night of Sept.
11, 2012, when terrorist attacks on two U.S. installations in the Libyan city
killed four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens.
However, Toensing disclosed that her client has pertinent
information on all three time periods investigators consider relevant to the
attacks: the months that led up to the attack, when pleas by the ambassador and
his staff for enhanced security in Benghazi were mostly rejected by senior
officers at the State Department; the eight-hour time frame in which the
attacks unfolded, and the eight-day period that followed the attacks, when Obama
administration officials incorrectly described them as the result of a
spontaneous protest over a video.
“It's frightening, and they're doing some very despicable
threats to people,” she said. “Not ‘we're going to kill you,’ or not ‘we're
going to prosecute you tomorrow,’ but they're taking career people and making
them well aware that their careers will be over [if they cooperate with
congressional investigators].” . . . . read the full article from FoxNews.com.
The GOP is responsible for Benghazi. House Republicans cut the administration’s request for embassy security funding by $128 million in fiscal 2011 and $331 million in fiscal 2012....Last year, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton WARNED that Republicans’ proposed cuts to her department would be “detrimental to America’s national security” — a charge Republicans rejected.
ReplyDeleteAnd they try to pin it on Obama. What a joke.
Absolute utter nonsense. The question was asked, during recent Senate hearings, "Was lack of funding a problem in the Benghazi crisis?" and Administration personnel flatly said "No." While the INCREASE IN FUNDING RATES was cut, there were no corresponding rate cuts for security to any of our consulates.
ReplyDeleteSMITHSON is LYING AGAIN,
ReplyDeleteCNN anchor Soledad O'Brien asked the Utah Republican Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) if he had "voted to cut the funding for embassy security."
"Absolutely," Chaffetz said. "Look we have to make priorities and choices in this country. Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) acknowledged that House Republicans had consciously voted to reduce the funds allocated to the State Department for embassy security since winning the majority in 2010.
