Benghazigate: Did Hillary Clinton Commit Perjury Twice?


A new congressional report indicates former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton may have lied under oath at least twice during her Benghazi testimony. On September 11, 2012 four Americans including U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens were killed in a terrorist attack by militants linked to al-Qaida and Ansar al-Sharia. Militants stormed the U.S. consulate building in Benghazi, Libya with rockets and machine guns; Stevens and four other Americans died.
Stevens became the first U.S. Ambassador since 1988 to die in office. And CIA employees and former Navy SEALs Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty were both killed despite the fact that the U.S. military had almost seven hours to send them back-up assistance.

Hillary Hyperbole #1: She Didn’t See or Approve Cables Requesting Support In Libya

Obama’s White House and Clinton’s State Department knew of the danger to Stevens for months and did nothing about it. On August 16, Stevens sent a cable notifying Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the State Department of an anticipated “coordinated attack” that the consulate would not be able to manage without backup support. Clinton’s State Department did not take proactive measures to respond.
On the day of the attack, reports indicate that the CIA initially denied requests from its own personnel for backup assistance at the U.S. consulate in Benghazi and later at the CIA annex or safe house. When support finally arrived, it was too late.
This January, Clinton testified that: “I have made it very clear that the security cables did not come to my attention…” and “I didn’t see those requests. They didn’t come to me. I didn’t approve them. I didn’t deny them.”
But a new congressional report shows that Clinton did indeed sign an April, 2012 State Department cable acknowledging formal requests for help. So, she DID know of various cables requesting assistance in Libya. Reporter @SharylAtkisson tweeted that while Clinton knew of these requests for aid, she “ordered the withdrawal of elements to proceed as planned.” Worse yet, the report indicates that Obama’s White House and State Department literally changed their talking points in order to cover for Clinton. Specifically: “…. to remove references to likely participation of Islamic extremists in attacks, references to threat of extremists linked to al Qaeda…,” according to the report.

Hillary Hyperbole #2 – She ‘Did Not Know’ About Gun Trafficking That Armed al-Qaida

New reports indicate that one of the primary purposes of the CIA annex in Benghazi was to arm Syrian rebels and Clinton was the ‘mastermind’ behind this gun-trafficking scheme to arm the Syrian rebels. The arms apparently traveled from Libya to Turkey and from there to Syria. The danger in arming the Syrian rebels, which according to The New York Times appears to be Clinton’s idea, is that many of these rebels include members of al-Qaida and other violent extremists. Clinton’s gun trafficking scheme likely played a role in the 9/11 attack on the Libya consulate, as the rebels were linked to al-Qaida.
During testimony, Sen. Rand Paul explicitly asked Clinton about the gun trafficking program and whether she knew about it. She said: “I do not know. I don’t have any information on that.”
WND reports that the gun-tracking “escalate[d] before the Sept. 11, 2012 attack on the U.S. facilities in Benghazi” and that Sen. Lindsay Graham has testified that Stevens’ role was to “keep weapons caches from falling into the hands of the enemies.”
So Clinton most likely launched the gun program, expected Stevens to oversee it and then her weapons likely landed in the hands of al-Qaida affiliates who killed Stevens and three other Americans. And she is denying any knowledge of this program.
Well, what do you expect? Like husband, like wife. He schemes about sex. She bluffs about bloodshed.
