EXPLOSIVE: UPDATE- CIA Whistleblower Exposes Biden’s Alleged Role with the Deaths of Seal Team- Claims to have Documented Proof

EXPLOSIVE: UPDATE- CIA Whistleblower Exposes Biden’s Alleged Role with the Deaths of Seal Team- Claims to have Documented Proof
BREAKING: In this article is a full interview of a CIA Whistleblower, Allan Harrow Parrot, who is being interviewed by Charles Woods and Nicholas Noe. It surfaced on Sunday and shows the three talking about the blackmail /extortion of $152 Billion US dollars, that was sent to Iran to cover up the deaths of Seal Team 6 by the Obama/Biden administration.

Parrot, a former CIA agent, has extensive experience with the intelligence community, and he is planning on releasing documents this week on what he said are going to uncover “numerous crimes sprees”.

The following are updates that have unfolded since the article was originally published:

UPDATES 10/13 President Trump retweeted this article. 10/12 the maker of the videos below, toward the end of this article, confirm in this footage, that the documents have now been delivered to a “Congress Person” for evaluation:

In the video the CIA whistleblower said the following:

“A heavy price has been paid for what we are uncovering, and millions of people want to see,” Parrot said.

The truth has to come out, “said Charles Woods, the Father of Ty Woods who was killed at the Benghazi compound, and who was very interested in the discussion.

“This is the beginning of the end for the bad guys,” Parrot said.

Anna Khait was the first to report on the CIA Whistleblower videotape in the following Twitter post:

This video, of the CIA Whistleblower, surfaces on what the Trump campaign reminds us is the 8 year anniversary of when Democrat Joe Biden lied in a debate about the security needs of the Americans in Benghazi.

Nicholas Noe, a Military Veteran is the one who brought the three together and suggested in the video that the reason he ended up running into Parrot was that he was researching why it appeared as if the American Government wanted all of the people connected with Benghazi to die.

The video went viral around the world:
Translate the Tweet.

“Dead men tell no tales,” Parrot said, in the video, while exposing a plot to “put targets on the backs of the members of Seal Team 6”.

BETRAYAL
Remember when Obama and Biden claimed they had no idea that there was a need for more security at the Benghazi compound where Ty Woods was killed.
WATCH:
In the video Parrot, the CIA Whistleblower, lays out a convincing story that needs to be investigated.

The following is a partial transcript of what Parrot said on the video:

“Our military is so well trained and their work is very compartmentalized, and it is the people at the top who make the decisions, and Ty Woods died unnecessarily, at the hands of Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden and John Brennan,” Parrot said.

“The story starts in the 1970s when they started an alternative CIA called the Safari and it was funded by foreign banks and bank accounts and I have those numbers and Osama Bin Laden was one of those people who benefitted from the funding from those who were a part of the Safari Club. They were subverting oversight control of the successor of the Church Commission which is the Senate Intelligence Committee,” Parrot said.

The story goes on and Parrot said there was no need to invade Afghanistan, since, “John Brennan, Richard Clarke and Joe Biden, a long list, the Safari Club had started to do something good, but it didn’t turn out good.” he said.

“Leon Panetta, whose first job in the administration was to cancel Rigor covert, CIA program to get Osama,” Parrot said.

“I negotiated with Iran to transfer Osama Bin Laden, to be put in a neutral zone, I had it on tape that it was agreed to, and I went to Bill Richardson who agreed to receive Bin Laden, and it turned out Bin Laden had been transferred. They outsourced the prison duties of terrorists to Iran. So they had no choice but to accept Clinton’s deals. She knew that they would give him up without any struggle, and she had him moved to Abbotabad Pakistan in 2010 and that was our first overhead view of him walking in the garden. It was an advertisement that he was there. He was awaiting his trophy killing, “Parrot said.

“One of his sons said Bin Laden was resigned to dying there. The Iranians turned it into a fateful result and pulled him out at the 11th hour – a double agent provided DNA to CIA station chief, that it was Bin Laden in Abbottabad and they sent in Seal Team 6 and they only told Obama about Seal Team 6 kill mission after it was over, and when the Radar was put back up so they could not go back,” he said.

“It was a one-way trip, and we have witnesses who say that Hillary and Panetta were threatening Obama that if he didn’t go along with the kill mission that they would go to the press and he would not survive politically. That is when they pulled him off the golf course after it was over,” Parrot said.

“The architects were Hillary Clinton, John Brennan, and Panetta. Seal Team 6 killed Osama’s double, based on one of the wives who screamed that and that is why they didn’t save the body, they threw the parts over the mountains, and John Brennan told everyone to lie,” Parrot said.

“You must bury Muslims on land, Brennan is Muslim and he knows it is a lie. Biden, Hillary and Brennan trusted Iran to get Osama and keep him there, and they didn’t and that is why Iran bribed him. Obama paid them 152 Billion and Biden had them killed. We have the documents. We are on the winning team. We have Terrabytes of information, video, audio, photos,” he said.

So was Seal team 6 shot down on purpose? Noe askes.

“Yes. Obama paid money and Biden paid with their blood,” Parrot said.

The full interview is in this Tweet and if true could be the story of the the biggest betrayal in American History.


This video, of a Tucker Carlson show, appears to confirm some of the details of Parrot’s testimony.

Benghazi: Obama's Actions Amount To A Shameful Dereliction Of Duty
Peter Ferrara

Opinion
I cover public policy, particularly concerning economics.
This article is more than 2 years old.
A picture shows a burnt building at the US consulate compound in the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi... [+]
Enough facts are in the public record about the Benghazi murders of Libyan Ambassador Chris Stevens and 3 others, including two Marines, that a final judgment can be rendered on President Obama’s handling of the affair.  Obama’s actions, or inactions, amounted to dereliction of duty, and worse.

The Obama Administration received requests for additional security from the Embassy and the Ambassador himself as early as February.  An embassy cable on June 25 expressed fear of rising Islamic extremism in eastern Libya around Benghazi, and noted that the black flag of Al-Qaeda “has been spotted several times flying over government buildings and training facilities.” On August 2, Ambassador Stevens sent a cable requesting 11 additional body guards, noting "Host nation security support is lacking and cannot be depended on to provide a safe and secure environment for the diplomatic mission of outreach,"


Today In: Opinion
But these requests for additional security were repeatedly denied, as security officials testified before Chairman Darrell Issa’s House Oversight Committee earlier this month.  Obama and his allies did not want a show of American force in the country that would offend Muslim sensibilities.  They wanted to rely instead on the host country’s security that the embassy was telling them was inadequate and could not be depended upon.

As the anniversary of 9/11 approached, the Obama Administration should have known that more security was necessary to protect diplomatic missions in the increasingly hostile country, especially on that sensitive date.  But they did just the opposite, reducing security.  The Wall Street Journal reported on October 10 that the Administration removed a well armed, 16 member, security detail from Libya in August, to be replaced by the Libyan security personnel that Ambassador Stevens had just told them could not be relied upon.

Based on documents released by the House Oversight Committee, the day of the attack on the American consulate in Benghazi, September 11, the White House situation room starts receiving emails at about 1 pm that the mission is under hostile surveillance.  The only response was that the Pentagon sends a drone armed with a video camera so that everyone in Washington can see what transpires in real time, as it happens, at the White House, at the State Department, at the Pentagon, at the CIA.

The drone documents no crowds protesting any video.  But at 4 pm Washington receives an email from the Benghazi mission that it is under military style attack. Subject: “U.S. Diplomatic Mission in Benghazi Under Attack.” The email states,

“The Regional Security Officer reports the diplomatic mission is under attack. Embassy Tripoli reports approximately 20 armed people fired shots; explosions have been heard as well.  Ambassador Stevens, who is currently in Benghazi, and four COM personnel are in the compound safe haven.  The 17th of February militia is providing security support.”

The attack was then fed to all of them, the White House, the Pentagon, the State Dept., the CIA, through live video feed.  A later email that day reported, “Ansar al-Sharia Claims Responsibility for Benghazi Attack.”  The feed showed no protest of any supposedly offensive You Tube video.

Just one hour flight time away were U.S. Air Force bases that could have been rousted in minutes to send fighter planes and attack helicopters that could have routed the attackers in minutes of fighting.  As Investors Business Daily editorialized on October 24, “Within an hour’s flight time from Libya, at the large naval air station in Sigonella, Italy, and at bases in nearby Aviano and Souda Bay, were fighters and AC 130 gunships that can be extremely effective in dispersing crowds or responding to a terrorist assault.” But the order for the rescue never came.  Maybe because Barack Obama did not want to offend Muslim sensibilities by such a show of force.

The IBD editorial summarized the situation by the next morning as follows:

“When President Obama and Secretary of State Clinton stepped into the Rose Garden the morning of September 12, they likely knew [correction: they surely knew] the attack on our Benghazi consulate the day before was organized by terrorists.  They knew because they were privy to a flurry of emails among administration officials discussing the attack in real time.  Yet they said nothing about what they knew and, worse, had done nothing to mount a rescue despite American forces being less than an hour away during the seven hour blitz.  According to Fox News, 300 to 400 national security figures received these emails in real time almost as the raid was playing out and concluding.  These people work directly under the nation’s top national security, military and diplomatic officials.”

By then everyone knew how the battle of Benghazi had turned out.  The United States Ambassador to Libya, the personal representative of President Barack Obama, had been tortured, sodomized, dragged bloody through the streets of Benghazi, and murdered.  Chris Stevens, along with the two Marines and another who were murdered along with him, had volunteered to serve his country.  But under the leadership of Barack Obama, that is how his service ended.

By the evening of that next day, Commander-in-Chief Barack Obama was jetting off to a campaign fundraiser in Las Vegas, followed by parties with Jay-Z and Beyonce.  Chris Stevens was already out of sight, out of mind.  Except that Commander Obama could not wash off the stench of dereliction of duty, duty to far more worthy American warriors and servicemen, dereliction in failing to authorize worthy security for those who were sent in harms way under his leadership, and to order a timely rescue when he could.  For such failure, any commander serving under the commander-in-chief should be court martialed.  But the President expects you to give him four more years of such “leadership.”

The Truth-Challenged President

But the saga did not end there for the American people.  The rest of us had to endure the President, Secretary of State Clinton, and UN Ambassador “explaining” to us that what really happened was that those irascible Muslims were all incited out of their minds by a previously unseen, unheard of You Tube video trailer by an unknown American immigrant, a movie that was never made outside the trailer advertising it, in Fool on the Hill style.  Their protest had just got out of hand, you see.

Except they all knew when they were saying these very words that they were untrue.  They were precisely calculated to deceive and to mislead.  Yet there was our President Obama telling this mendacious fairy tale to the entire world at the U.N.  And there was U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice telling the American people the same concocted fairy tale.  Typical Progressives, they were so certain that they could easily buffalo a majority of their countrymen, no smarter than the representative Homer Simpson.

An incredulous IBD editorialized, “How could emails be sent to the White House Situation Room in real time describing a terrorist attack on sovereign U.S. territory in which four Americans were killed as it happened, and as a drone flew overhead recording the truth of the carnage, and the President and Secretary of State insist that it was all about a video and there was no evidence to the contrary.”

Or as Glenn Beck (yes Glenn Beck, and you can go read some New York Times lying propaganda if you don’t like it), summarized at his website The Blaze,

“The president of the United States of America, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of State have all lied to you. They have lied to you and said this might be a video; we don’t have all the information; the information is still sketchy; it’s confusing. No. We now have the documents. We now have the documents that came into the situation room saying there’s an attack; they’re watching. Then we have the documents that we have a live video feed in the situation room, so they could see that there was no protest.”

How Clueless Does He Think We Are?

But the lies did not end even there.  The President then went into a nationally televised debate with GOP nominee Mitt Romney, and before the whole country, expected to pull off another lie denying that he had lied, indeed, denying that what the entire country had just seen and heard, from him, from his Secretary of State, from his U.N. Ambassador, had even just happened.

Obama explained at the debate, “The day after the attack, Governor, I stood in the Rose Garden and I told the American people and the world that we are going to find out exactly what happened.  That this was an act of terror and I also said that we’re going to hunt down those who committed this crime.”

An exasperated Mitt Romney, shocked at the brazenness of this Soviet style propaganda, exclaimed, “I think interesting the President just said something which – which is that on the day after the attack he went into the Rose Garden and said this was an act of terror.”  “That’s what I said,” Obama lied in response.  Romney leaped at the brazen discrepancy with reality, saying “I want to make sure we get that for the record because it took the President 14 days before he called the attack in Benghazi an act of terror.”   Obama replied, “Get the transcript.”

It was a transparently pre-arranged, Soviet propaganda style, ambush that the supposed moderator Candy Crowley then jumped in to say, “He did in fact sir.”  Obama then brazenly demonstrated his mastery over the Democrat Party controlled media, outright ordering right there before the American people, “Can you say that a little louder, Candy?”  Crowley stood at attention, saluted, and “reported”: “He did call it an act of terror.”

This was so transparently pre-arranged because the transcript of the next day’s Rose Garden ceremony, in fact, does not report what Obama fantasized and Crowley “reported.”  The transcript in plain black and white shows that Obama was not even talking about Benghazi when he mentioned terror, but about terrorism more generally, as displayed on 9/11.  Do you see precisely the further “calculated deception?”

Romney alone among the three, ever sharp as a tack, and fully on top of the facts, persisted in recalling the truth: “The Administration indicated this was a reaction to a video and was a spontaneous reaction….It took them a long time to say this was a terrorist act by a terrorist group.”

Obama again interrupted and appealed to his plant for a further bailout, calling out, “Candy?” But Romney maintained his control and his ever classy demeanor, and unruffled by the blatant, Soviet style propaganda he was enduring, cut off this interruption, “Excuse me.  The ambassador of the United Nations went on the Sunday television shows and spoke about how this was a spontaneous…” But Obama interrupted again, appealing further for help, “Candy, I’m happy to have a longer conversation about foreign policy.”  Crowley took the cue again from the Boss, “I know you, absolutely, but I want to move you on….”  A relieved Obama responded with obvious joy, “OK. I’m happy to do that too.”

This spectacle of the President lying about his own lies to a national debate audience is unprecedented in American politics.  It shows an absurdly haughty attitude, and an arrogant disrespect for the intelligence and awareness of the American people.  But an Obama supporter calling into the Glenn Beck radio program indicated that Obama may be on to something after all.  When Beck asked her, “Where is Benghazi?” she responded, “He is at Walmart.”

Bin Laden WAS TRADED for seal team 6.  As soon as I saw them paraded on tv, I knew they were dead.  No special team like that ever gets, or wants, publicity.  The teams go to great lengths to conceal their identities.  Obama is a criminal.

Report: Ken Starr believed Hillary Clinton helped drive Vince Foster to suicide

Report: Ken Starr believed Hillary Clinton helped drive Vince Foster to suicide
https://www.conservativeinstitute.org/conservative-news/hillary-clinton-vince-foster.htm?utm_source=dc2&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=dc2-1
Although the Clinton family has been accused of their fair share of bizarre and absurd conspiracies — from cat murder to kiddy porn — one long-held allegation was just given a boost of credibility.

Author Ronald Kessler says that former independent counsel Ken Starr has admitted for the first time that he believed then-First Lady Hillary Clinton may have driven deputy White House counsel Vince Foster to take his own life.

Pushed to the brink
Appointed as independent counsel in 1994, Starr was investigating the Clintons’ role in the 1970s Whitewater scandal when FBI agents discovered that Hillary Clinton publicly humiliated Foster just one week before his suicide in 1993. 

Writing for DailyMail.com, Kessler said he approached Starr following an event during the 2019 Annapolis Book Festival and “asked Starr why he omitted the damaging FBI finding” from his 1998 congressional report.

He said Starr was initially reluctant to indulge his questions and pointed to well-established facts surrounding Foster’s suicide. The Clinton legal aide had a long history of depression and was having difficulty adjusting to life in Washington.

After Kessler pressed him on the subject, however, he says Starr eventually admitted that he omitted details of Clinton’s behavior from the report because he “did not want to inflict further pain” on the first lady. One week after Clinton excoriated Foster in front of his coworkers, the counselor shot himself at Fort Marcy Park along the Potomac River

Kessler also interviewed some of the FBI agents who investigated the circumstances leading up to Foster’s suicide while writing his New York Times bestselling book, The First Family Detail.

“Hillary put him down really, really bad in a pretty good-size meeting,” Coy Copeland, a federal agent, told Kessler. “She told him he didn’t get the picture, and he would always be a little hick town lawyer who was obviously not ready for the big time.”

Foster wasn’t accustomed to life in Washington after spending the majority of his life in his native Arkansas. Unlike many of his colleagues, he lacked experience in national politics and campaigning and was struggling with emotional instability.

“Foster was profoundly depressed, but Hillary lambasting him was the final straw because she publicly embarrassed him in front of others,” former FBI agent Jim Clemente told Kessler.

“Hillary blamed him for failed nominations, claimed he had not vetted them properly, and said in front of his White House colleagues, ‘You’re not protecting us’ and ‘You have failed us,'” Clemente told Kessler. “That was the final blow.”

Jekyll and Hyde
While it is easy to dismiss most of the far-fetched Clinton conspiracies, this account matches the testimony of other eyewitnesses who described Hillary Clinton as “erratic, uncontrollable, and occasionally violent” with her staff.

Gary Byrne, a former secret service officer who worked outside the Oval Office during Bill Clinton’s presidency, described the first lady as having a “Jekyll and Hyde” personality that frightened staff members.

“When I first met her, we were given specific instructions: don’t look at her, don’t look at her general direction and if you need to talk to her, keep it short and stay out of her way,” an unnamed agent told the New York Post in 2016.

In fact, Clinton apparently treated her security detail so poorly that when she broke her elbow in 2009, they laughed at her misfortune. “We sort of got the last laugh. It was kind of like payback: You’re treating us like s***. Hey karma is a b****! We were smiling to ourselves,” the anonymous agent said.

If only Starr would have shared his thoughts with Congress in 1998, future employees working for Hillary Clinton could have been spared her tyrannical management style. Indeed, if Starr would have spilled the beans, perhaps America could have been spared the experience of Benghazi, an email scandal and coverup, and two failed presidential runs.

Ambassador killed in Benghazi attack considered leaving Libya in April 2011, emails reveal
2016-03-01 | Fox News

Seventeen months before he was killed in the Sept. 11, 2012 attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, Ambassador Chris Stevens was seriously considering leaving the country as its civil war widened. 

The ambassador's concerns are reflected in emails sent to then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's inner circle. The emails were released by the State Department Monday as part of the 14th and final batch of messages from Clinton's private server.

One email in particular, dated April 10, 2011, relays Stevens' safety concerns to the State Department. It was sent by a State Department official named Timmy Davis to several key Clinton aides, including Jake Sullivan, now the top foreign policy adviser on Clinton's presidential campaign, and Huma Abedin.

The message, with the subject line "Stevens update" reads, in part, "The situation in Ajdabiyah [a town approximately 90 miles southeast of Benghazi] has worsened to the point where Stevens is considering departure from Benghazi. The envoy's delegation is currently doing a phased checkout (paying the hotel bills, moving some comms to the boat, etc) ... He will wait 2-3 more hours, then revisit the decision on departure."

The Bergdahl-Sony Effect

The West will have to contend with two lessons it taught adversaries in 2014: The U.S. negotiates with terrorists and the U.S. government and private sector will cave to threats.

The U.S. negotiated a prisoner release with the Taliban where five high-level Taliban terrorists were released in exchange for a kidnapped U.S. soldier named Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl who deserted and may have even tried to join the enemy side. Taliban chief Mullah Omar hailed the deal as a “huge accomplishment” that “reassures us that our aspirations are on the verge of fulfillment.”

Watch Clarion's Ryan Mauro speak on "Top Terror Threats of 2015"

Hollywood reinforced the dangerous appeasement when movie theaters caved to threats from hackers linked to North Korea and refused to show The Interview, a comedy about a plot to assassinate North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un. Sony then cancelled the film’s release.

In addition, showings of Team America, another comedy that pokes fun at North Korea, were shut down. A planned thriller film with a storyline related to North Korea was cancelled, even though the hackers never threatened a response to it or even mentioned it.

After public outrage reached a fever pitch and President Obama said Sony made a mistake, the decision was reversed. The Interview was released in limited theaters and online on Christmas as planned, but the damage was done.

In 2015, the West’s enemies will be implementing these lessons.

Iran Outmaneuvers America

The International Atomic Energy Agency confirms that Iran is still not fully disclosing its nuclear program, yet the negotiations and sanctions relief has been extended for another six months. The U.S. even admits privately that Iran is breaking the interim nuclear deal, while the Secretary of State publicly praises Iran’s so-called “compliance.”

The Iranian regime is using negotiations as part of a long-term strategy to develop nuclear weapons capabilities, with the most incriminating work probably being outsourced to North Korea. A senior adviser to Supreme Leader Khamenei even said the regime’s strategy is “elongation” and it doesn’t actually want a finalized deal.

In 2015, Iran will continue this strategy to advance its nuclear program and lead the West into missing an extremely important opportunity to pressure the regime financially. At the same time, Iran will win investments from European companies to assist the economy and shield Iran from effective sanctions in the future.

Iran will continue to sponsor terrorism, including Al-Qaeda and the Taliban and try to heal rifts with Turkey and the Muslim Brotherhood.

Oil Crisis

The decline of oil prices is boosting the American economy and technological advances will reduce U.S. energy dependence. These oil prices are very dangerous for Iran, the Syrian regime, Venezuela, Russia and other hostile regimes.

These governments need the price of oil to spike up to sustain their budgets. The Iranian regime is undoubtedly infuriated with the Saudis for refusing to decrease oil production and has threatened an oil price war previously.

Iran’s proxies have successfully captured the capital of Yemen, defeating Saudi Arabia's allies. In 2012, Iran launched a major cyber attack on Saudi Aramco and a natural gas company in Qatar. The Saudisclaim the hackers tried to halt oil and natural gas production. The Iranian hackers continue to attack U.S. businesses, energy firms, defense contractors and universities.

In 2015, the low price of oil will maximize the incentives for Iran and other hostile governments to instigate conflict or to even attack Middle Eastern and American energy infrastructure.

Gowdy pushing bipartisan Congressional effort to honor Benghazi heroes

Before he leaves Congress, retiring Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) is pushing through a bi-partisan effort to honor the four American heroes who died in the 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi.

Gowdy, who led the major House investigation into the foreign policy disaster, is co-sponsoring the bill to award the Congressional Gold Medal to Navy SEALs and CIA operatives Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods, U.S. ambassador Chris Stevens, and U.S. Foreign Service information management officer Sean Smith, who all perished in the attack.

Gowdy told Fox & Friends that the bill had bi-partisan support including the approval of Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD), who is slated to chair the Oversight Committee when Gowdy retires in January.

Watch below:

Gowdy: honor Benghazi heroes
Islamist militant group Ansar al-Sharia staged a pre-meditated attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi on September 11, 2012. The poor response of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former President Barack Obama turned “Benghazi” into a short-hand phrase for the Obama State Department’s ineptitude and duplicity, which only got worse when the Obama administration tried to shift blame by falsely describing the attack as a spontaneous protest against an incendiary anti-Islam video.

What happened in Benghazi was obscured under partisan signal noise, something that Gowdy surely knows from his years overseeing the House Select Committee investigation into the security breach. But Gowdy told Fox and Friends in a wide-ranging interview that there is no partisan disagreement about the heroism and sacrifice of the four men.

“Well everything you and I have discussed this morning reasonable minds can differ and they do differ. But on the heroism and the patriotism and the service and the sacrifice of those four men, Congress is unified,” Gowdy said.

Doherty’s family is pushing for the bill and they are eager for it to pass before Congress adjourns in December.

“There’s been so much politics around Benghazi, and we don’t want that to be his legacy,” Kate Doherty Quigley, Glen’s sister, told the Boston Herald. “This is really about trying to honor the hard work that they did and honor people who died for their country, doing what they loved.”

The Congressional Gold Medal is the highest honor that the legislature can bestow on a civilian. Past recipients of the medal include President George Washington, Winston Churchill, Rev. Billy Graham, and Rosa Parks.

Gowdy: Bi-partisan bill should pass
Various bills to honor the four men have languished in Congress since legislation to award them the medal was first proposed in 2013. But Gowdy said there is no reason why the current bill, which has the support of 250 co-sponsors including 163 Republicans and 87 Democrats, shouldn’t pass.

To pass, the bill would need the co-sponsorship of two-thirds of the House, about 290 members, and it seems to enjoy broader bi-partisan support than past proposals. Proposed in 2017, House Resolution 2315 is being led by U.S. Rep. Stephen F. Lynch (D-MA) and U.S. Rep. Brian Mast (R-FL) and has the support of opposing members of some of the committees who investigated Benghazi, including Gowdy, Cummings, who defended Hillary Clinton as the ranking member of the House Select Committee on Benghazi, Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-CA) and Ranking Member Adam Schiff (D-CA).

Do you support Congress posthumously honoring the four heroes of Benghazi?
Yes
No

“We can debate the decisions made in Washington on September 11 and 12 of 2012, but the actions taken in Libya were heroic, and they deserve to be recognized with Congress’ highest award — and that’s bipartisan and it’s apolitical, which is why you have Elijah Cummings (D-MD) and I agreeing in full force that these four men ought to be recognized by our country,” Gowdy said.

“So it definitely will happen,” Fox host Ainsley Earhardt interjected.

What a disgrace. Obama calls the Beghazi terror attack a “conspiracy theory” when it was his administration that created the conspiracy theory that it was a “spontaneous” attack instigated by an anti-Muslim youtube video.
A hero talks
Benghazi hero Kris Paronto responds to Obama: “It’s a complete kick in the balls from a former president still trying to change history and say that Benghazi didn’t happen… It dishonors the heroism of my teammates, who were willing to sacrifice everything and two of them did.”

“They continually talk down and not honor the family members of Tyrone Woods, Ambassador Stevens, Sean Smith, & Glen Doherty… It’s disgraceful.” – @KrisParonto on former President Obama calling Benghazi a ‘conspiracy.

Benghazi Hero Kris Paronto: Obama Spreading Divisiveness

Published on 11 Sep 2018
Benghazi Hero Kris Paronto tells Dana Loesch, "When we still have people like Barack Obama out there still preaching divisiveness under the false pretense of unity, I just don't know what's gonna happen... the best thing to do is just keep calling out the hypocrisy."

Weakness vs. Muscle-flexing
The Obama administration’s track record on foreign policy was one of weakness.  Perhaps the best example of this was the Benghazi travesty.  The contrast between the way the President Obama handled rogue nations and the way President Trump has handled rogue nations is stark.  It is still too early to judge the results of President Trump’s policies.  President Trump clearly applies his “art of the deal” negotiation habits into the oval office.  Will this prove effective.  We’ll see.  However, it is not too early to see that the weakness of President Obama’s policies have not brought any positive results almost anywhere in the world.


This is not a liberal vs. conservative issue.  It is one of leading from strength vs. non-exercise of leadership.

After Benghazi, Hillary’s State Dept Stranded Heroes in Germany, Took Clearances

When the heroes of Benghazi finished their mission, the State Department, run by Hillary Clinton at the time, told them they had to foot the bill for their own plane fare home from Germany, according to former congressman and Fox News contributor Jason Chaffetz.

Chaffetz appeared on Fox News on Tuesday night to talk to Sean Hannity about Barack Obama’s comments regarding “wild conspiracy theories — like those surrounding Benghazi.”
At the 4-minute mark, Chaffetz declared that Clinton’s State Department abandoned the Benghazi heroes. “You know what happened when they actually got home? Those people saved dozens of American lives. When they got home you know what the State Department — Hillary Clinton’s State Department did? They took away their security clearance so they couldn’t get a job. It’s unbelievable.

“That’s how they treated these guys. When they were there in Germany. They didn’t send them home. They didn’t offer them plane tickets. They just told them they were released. They had to pay for their own plane tickets to get home.”

If these allegations by Chaffetz are true, it begs an obvious question: Why in the world were American heroes treated so shabbily when the government thinks nothing of draining taxpayer resources for illegal aliens and giving luxury perks for politicians? Thankfully, President Donald Trump is doing something about the ridiculous spending.
In January, he announced his plan to end the over $33 billion dollars in aid that the U.S. has been providing Pakistan since 2002.
Donald J. Trump

@realDonaldTrump
 The United States has foolishly given Pakistan more than 33 billion dollars in aid over the last 15 years, and they have given us nothing but lies & deceit, thinking of our leaders as fools. They give safe haven to the terrorists we hunt in Afghanistan, with little help. No more!

And there’s more — in September last year the Washington Examiner reported that illegal immigration cost American taxpayers $116 billion dollars a year. “The swelling population of illegal immigrants and their kids is costing American taxpayers $135 billion a year, the highest ever, driven by free medical care, education and a huge law enforcement bill, according to the most authoritative report on the issue yet,” read the report.

“And despite claims from pro-illegal immigration advocates that the aliens pay significant off-setting taxes back to federal, state and local treasuries, the Federation for American Immigration Reform report tallied just $19 billion, making the final hit to taxpayers about $116 billion.”

Axios listed a few taxpayer funded perks that our elected representatives get at our expense.

It costs taxpayers more than $3.5 million dollars a year for members of the House and Senate for travel and to staff their offices, as they see fit, according to Axios. Members of Congress also don’t work a full year for their salary. “The House has averaged 138 legislative days each year since 2001, and the Senate 162.”

They get subsidies for their health care under Obamacare; “they receive a federal subsidy amounting to 72% of their premiums.”

Pensions aren’t shabby either. “Depending on age and length of service, members can receive a lifelong pension of 80% — which, given today’s congressional salary of $174,000, equals out to $139,200 in annual taxpayer-funded retirement benefits.”

RELATED: On 9/11, Trump Boldly Placed Blame Exactly Where It Belongs, Scorches Islamism

They also receive free airport parking, and among other things. “Our nation’s legislators get a slew of lifetime benefits even after leaving office, including a taxpayer-funded gym at the Capitol, access to the House and Senate floors, parking in House lots, and the ability to dine in the House and Senate dining rooms.”

Finally, as we have the national argument over whether or not former Obama administration officials should lose their security clearance, why would American heroes have their security clearances revoked? As government workers draw salaries 80 percent higher than that of the American worker, why would we deny the ability of these heroes to find work after their service?

Why — with all the money bleeding out of our federal government — would service members, and heroes at that, have to pay for their own plane tickets home after serving their country?

It’s not just the money. Those heroes are making the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Not just for you and me, but for Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Susan Rice, and all the other characters who gave stand down orders in Benghazi when Americans were in danger and needed help.

Our Benghazi heroes deserved better.

Twitter suspended former Army Ranger and Benghazi hero Kris “Tonto” Paronto for mocking liberals as “retards” after a Twitter user claimed that former President Barack Obama was the person who killed Al Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden.

The tweet in question came in response to a clip from Obama’s speech at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign on Friday when he said, “We supposed to stand up to discrimination, and we’re sure as heck supposed to stand up clearly and unequivocally to Nazi sympathizers,” said Obama.

He then asked, “How hard can that be, saying that Nazis are bad?”

Former Navy SEAL Rob O’Neill — who is credited with killing Bin Laden during a 2011 raid in Pakistan — responded to Obama’s question tweeting, “Nazis are bad. Now try saying, ‘Radical Islam….

A Twitter account named Secret Society Alumnus responded to O’Neill’s tweet, writing, “He kinda killed Osama Bin Laden, so…,” as if to say Obama may not have been willing to say “radical Islamic terrorist,” but he took action against it.

Paronto then jumped into the conversation, tweeting, “OMG ??!! Did you just tell the guy who Shot Bin Laden that @BarackObama did it?? BWAHAHAHA. Thank you for verifying that BHusseinObama worship and (Trump Derangement Syndrome) causes liberalists to skip retard and go straight to potato. #YouAreAnIdiot #NeverGoFullRetard”

Shortly thereafter, Twitter forced the former CIA security contractor to delete the tweet and suspended his account.

Paronto was back up and running by Sunday and tweeted, “After being in the @Twitter penalty box for a few and having to delete the tweet below for offending the leftist hate group @itmustend_ for their epic fail of telling Rob O’Neill that BHusseinObama killed UBL and not him, I’m back up…sooo Twitter doesn’t censor ehh @jack.

Paronto tagged Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey in the tweet, who had just testified before Congress last week about the social media company’s efforts to remain an impartial platform for sharing political views.

In an Instagram post, Paronto wrote about his suspension, “Yes boys and girls …. and leftists, we have the right to free speech but only if it fits the leftists narrative, doesn’t show their stupidity and ignorance and most importantly doesn’t hurt their fragile little egos.”

On being reinstated on Twitter, Paronto got into a back and forth with former talk show host Montel Williams.

Paronto had first tweeted, “So this is what happens when you call out a leftist group with TDS for being idiots and they they cry to the Twitter police who never censors.”

Williams — who served in the Marines and is a Naval Academy graduate — replied, “No. This is what happens when you act like a prick, son. You’re not being persecuted, Sit down, shut up and grow the F up.” Williams has since deleted the tweet.

Benghazi Hero Featured in ‘Just Do It’ Photo That Nike Wants Nothing To Do With
BY BEN MARQUIS 
SEPTEMBER 10, 2018 AT 1:13PM
https://www.westernjournal.com/ct/benghazi-hero-featured-just-photo-nike-wants-nothing/?
The athletic apparel giant Nike got plenty of publicity when it relaunched its longstanding “Just Do It” ad campaign last week, but it picked arguably the worst messenger to deliver the otherwise inspiring message.

Nike has caught quite a bit of flak after it was revealed that controversial ex-NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick — who is responsible for starting the trend of anti-American protests of the American flag and national anthem prior to the start of NFL games — would be the featured face of the newest iteration of the “Just Do It” campaign.

While the announcement gave rise to a conservative boycott of Nike and compelled some customers to burn or trash their Nike gear, it also opened the door for the creation of satirical or parody memes making fun of the ad campaign, specifically the Nike campaign’s theme — “Believe in something. Even if it means sacrificing everything” — being superimposed on the face of a man who is a millionaire many, many times over.

One of those anti-Nike memes featured one of the heroes of the 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya, that left four Americans dead … a hero who truly understands what it means to “sacrifice everything” for something you believe in.

That hero of Benghazi was none other than Kris “Tanto” Paronto, a former U.S. Army Ranger turned private security contractor who survived that fateful night in Benghazi on September 11, 2012.

While politicians back home slept or prepared the excuses they’d rely on for weeks and months to come after the attack, Paronto and others fended off waves of assaults by determined terrorists using automatic rifles, rocket-propelled grenades and mortars on a U.S. diplomatic compound and a CIA annex in the Libyan port city, without receiving any additional support from military and political leaders based in Washington.

The caption on the meme read: “Just do it??? I already DID it.”

“I held down the fort in Benghazi, after Obama and Hillary rolled over in their silk sheets and hit the snooze button,” the caption continued. “I didn’t get any kid’s sneaker contract either. I was wearing my military boots.

“I roll for one ‘brand’ only — the U.S. flag,” the meme concluded, with an American flag followed by the words “Did it” at the bottom of the photo of Paronto holding his rifle pointed down with his finger safely off the trigger.

It is unclear who exactly created this meme. The odds are good that it wasn’t Paronto, but somebody who greatly appreciated the sacrifice made by him and his brothers in arms in Benghazi.
(Check out Paronto’s own description of that night in this lengthy interview from 2015 with Omaha state KETV.)
Paronto’s tale is one of true bravery and sacrifice in the face of existential risk and seemingly insurmountable odds, and provides an excellent counter to the laughable “sacrifice” and “bravery” purportedly exhibited by Kaepernick, a coddled multi-millionaire football star who didn’t start protesting until his career was on the downslope in 2016 — the same year he lost his starting role with the San Francisco 49ers.

Are you done with Nike over the Kaepernick campaign?
Yes No

Kaepernick, and those who followed his lead and knelt or sat for the playing of the anthem, may have truly had various social injustices in mind when they conducted their protests, such as persistent racial disparities in some parts of society and instances of abuse by law enforcement against minorities. But those problems have been blown far out of proportion by the liberal media and race-baiters who thrive on conflict and controversy.

Whatever good there may have been in the original message has been absolutely lost in the delivery as the protesters’ behavior largely came across as a protest against the country itself, the American flag and all of the men and women who have fought, bled and died on behalf of the flag and the nation it represents.

Nike and the NFL won’t want to even see this meme, much less spend any time dwelling on it, as it lays bare the true disparity between those who’ve actually been brave and sacrificed part of themselves on behalf of the nation as opposed to men who get paid millions of dollars to play a game — and still claim to be oppressed.

Unfortunately for them, a majority of the country hold the men and women of law enforcement and the military in much higher regard than highly paid athletes, as memes like the one above make abundantly clear.

Benghazi II: Chinese Hacked Hillary Server, Killed 12 CIA Sources While Server Was at Clinton Residence

Russian computer hacking might have been the least of Hillary Clinton’s security breaches.

The former secretary of state’s email scandal is back in the headlines, and its impact on American national security might have been even worse than Americans knew.

And deadly for American intelligence sources in China.

According to a Daily Caller News Foundation report, the unauthorized, unsecured computer server Clinton used while serving as the United States top diplomat – privy to some of the deepest secrets in the national security community – was penetrated by a Chinese firm “involved in collecting intelligence for China.”

As the DCNF reported:

TRENDING: Student Slaps Teacher, Steals MAGA Hat, Gets Dealt Dose of Justice by the Police

“The Chinese firm obtained Clinton’s emails in real time as she sent and received communications and documents through her personal server, according to the sources, who said the hacking was conducted as part of an intelligence operation.

“The Chinese wrote code that was embedded in the server, which was kept in Clinton’s residence in upstate New York. The code generated an instant ‘courtesy copy’ for nearly all of her emails and forwarded them to the Chinese company, according to the sources.”

In other words, an American secretary of state who felt entitled to work on her own amateurish computer system had exposed all of her correspondence to one of the country’s most powerful and dangerous rivals in world affairs.

And it’s very possible that at least 12 operatives serving United States intelligence agencies paid for Clinton’s security breach with their lives.

Do you think Clinton's emails led the Chinese to American intelligence operatives?
Yes No 

Completing this poll entitles you to Conservative Tribune news updates free of charge. You may opt out at anytime. You also agree to our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.
According to a New York Times report from May 2017, a successful Chinese counterintelligence operation that started in 2010 “systematically dismantled C.I.A. spying operations in the country starting in 2010, killing or imprisoning more than a dozen sources over two years and crippling intelligence gathering there for years afterward.”

“From the final weeks of 2010 through the end of 2012, according to former American officials, the Chinese killed at least a dozen of the C.I.A.’s sources,” The Times reported. “According to three of the officials, one was shot in front of his colleagues in the courtyard of a government building — a message to others who might have been working for the C.I.A.”

Maybe it’s a coincidence, but 2010 was Clinton’s first full year as secretary of state.

Naturally, she would not have been in on every detail of covert CIA operations, but it’s entirely possible that Chinese intelligence services reading her correspondence in real time would be able to glean enough information to identify where the United States might have intelligence assets within China.

After a year of getting such information, it’s not hard to imagine the Chinese intelligence services having enough to take drastic, deadly action against sources helping their American rivals.

RELATED: Chinese Had Live Stream of Hillary’s Emails, Report Says

At any rate, a report that Clinton’s server had been thoroughly and professionally hacked by Chinese intelligence is circulating now, more than a year after the Times reported a disastrous breach in American intelligence operations taking place in China at the same time that the Clinton breach occurred.

It’s not a big stretch to put those two items together.

Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state is infamous for many reasons, but her bungling of American diplomatic security that led to the deaths of four Americans in Benghazi, Libya, then lying shamelessly to the American people about what happened is one of the worst.

Having her government email being hacked by Chinese intelligence, in an operation that coincided with a roll-up of American intelligence operations in China – and the deaths of operatives working for American interests – is a disaster to rival that.

Russia, the United States’ other big rival on the world stage, has long been known to have been engaged in intelligence operations targeting the Democrat National Committee, and by extension, Hillary’s campaign.

But Russian hacking might have been the least of Clinton’s leaks.

Benghazi Hero, Kris Paronto, Just Exposed the Real John Brennan. It Got Ugly Fast.

He’s a retired Army Ranger and a Benghazi Hero. Kris Paronto has proven he doesn’t put up with guff from anyone, and former CIA Director John Brennan just learned the hard way that that also applies to social media.
Brennan has been busy bashing President Donald Trump, as per usual, and claimed that being stripped of his no-longer-necessary security clearance is somehow Trump attempting “to suppress freedom of speech (and) punish critics.”
Please note that while Brennan is making this claim, he is still freely speaking and criticizing Trump. On social media and television.
In response, Paronto fired off a tweet at Brennan that shone a very bright spotlight onto Brennan’s tweet-mentioned “principles.” In his sights was the horror show of what happened in the aftermath of Benghazi:
Kris Paronto
@KrisParonto
 My principles are greater than clearances too John, especially when you and the @CIA kool-aid drinkers punished us for not going along with the Benghazi cover-up story in order to protect you, @HillaryClinton ‘s & @BarackObama ‘s failures. You put your politics before us.
John O. Brennan

@JohnBrennan
This action is part of a broader effort by Mr. Trump to suppress freedom of speech & punish critics.  It should gravely worry all Americans, including intelligence professionals, about the cost of speaking out. My principles are worth far more than clearances. I will not relent. https://twitter.com/nbcnews/status/1029803310444892162 …

Paronto is also not the only hero taking aim at Brennan in recent days, either. Navy SEAL Robert J. O’Neill, known as the killer of terrorist kingpin Osama Bin Laden, has also taken his turn. When Obama lackey Ben Rhodes called Brennan the “point person” responsible for Bin Laden’s demise, O’Neill understandably objected to the claim.
Brennan just can’t quite seem to catch a break. And the more he and his fans keep trying to cast him as a hero to our nation and a victim of Trump, the more likely it is that he won’t catch a break any time soon, either.

McCain slams ‘bureaucratic incompetence’ of Obama admin’s Benghazi response

McCain slams ‘bureaucratic incompetence’ of Obama admin’s Benghazi response
1Flatworld / CCL
With the time he has left, John McCain (R-AZ) wants to make sure his feelings on Benghazi are perfectly understood.

McCain blasted the Obama administration’s “a– covering” response to the diplomatic disaster in his upcoming book, The Restless Wave: Good Times, Just Causes, Great Fights, and Other Appreciations, co-written with Mark Salter, Fox News reports.

McCain blasts incompetent Obama admin
McCain doesn’t shy away from controversy in his upcoming book, reflecting on his life and legacy while bemoaning the current state of politics, with some barbs pointed at President Donald Trump. But the Trump administration isn’t the only one in McCain’s sights.

According to an advance copy of the book obtained by Fox News, the ailing senator slams the Obama administration’s “bureaucratic incompetence” in a chapter dedicated to the Arab Spring and the Obama administration’s disastrous 2011 intervention in Libya. The Arizona senator discusses his visits to the North African nation and blames the Obama administration for neglecting to secure the U.S. embassy before it was attacked in September 2012.

The attacks killed U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens, U.S. Foreign Service Officer Sean Smith and Navy SEALs Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods. McCain points to the administration’s denial of more security prior to the attack. “Chris had asked the State Department for more security for the Benghazi mission [before the attack], but it had been denied,” McCain writes.

McCain lauds Stevens, calling him “a talented diplomat, and an exceptional human being.” The attack that left four Americans dead was investigated by congressional Republicans.

“He believed in what he was doing, supporting the Libyan people’s rights to freedom and justice, and helping them build an open society, and he was effective,” McCain wrote. “… I miss him very much.”

While he was upset, McCain didn’t initially blame the administration — he began to sour once it began covering up its mistakes. McCain was rankled by the administration’s misleading decision to attribute the attack to an inflammatory anti-Muslim video.

“I started to get angry when it appeared administration officials were knowingly misleading us about the attack, attributing it to a video that some idiot had made mocking Islam that incited a spontaneous mob that turned violent,” McCain wrote.

McCain blamed the administration for misleading the public with its excuses, only to acknowledge the attack was a planned assault by terrorists a week later. “It took more than a week for the White House to acknowledge it had been a planned terrorist attack. The uproar that ensued became a lasting political controversy that’s still debated.” McCain concluded:

In the end, all it established is what could have been presumed at the beginning, bureaucratic incompetence and a– covering, two common conditions in Washington. Anger subsides, politics moves on, but sadness remains. Chris Stevens deserved better from all of us.
Do you agree that the Obama administration mishandled Benghazi?
Yes
No
Calls Hillary “friend”
Given his harsh words on Benghazi, one might expect McCain to target then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as well, as many Republicans have done. But McCain has mostly good things to say about the former secretary of state throughout the book, describing her as a “friend.”

McCain had called the Obama administration’s response “willful ignorance or abysmal intelligence” and “a massive cover-up or incompetence” at the time of the attack. While holding on to his criticisms of the Obama administration, McCain doesn’t seem to have let politics get in the way of his personal relationships; Obama will be at his funeral, while Trump, at McCain’s insistence, will not.

The long-time lawmaker laments the current state of politics in the book, decrying Trump for valuing an “appearance of toughness” over the values that unite Americans and his use of the term “fake news.” McCain also wrote that he regrets choosing Sarah Palin to be his running mate in 2008.

McCain was diagnosed with glioblastoma last July, and has remained at home at his ranch in Arizona since December, missing out on congressional work at the Capitol. His book is set to be released later this month.

There is much for Republicans to dislike about McCain, a RINO who obstructed his own party down to his final months in office. But at least he has the consistency to lay blame where blame is due.

Hillary Clinton defends U.S. Ambassador, conservatives erupt with Benghazi comparisons

Hillary Clinton continues to get herself in trouble with her Twitter account.
After sending out a tweet defending an ambassador during the Obama presidency, conservatives shredded Hillary Clinton over Benghazi and the death of Chris Stevens.

The Attack
Earlier in the week, Sarah Sanders created a bit of controversy over a request made by Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Putin said he would be willing to allow our Justice Department to interview the 12 Russian intelligence officers.

In turn, Putin wanted access to former U.S. Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul and financier Bill Browder.

When Sanders stated the White House was considering Putin’s request, Clinton took out her phone and went after Trump…

Ambassador @McFaul is a patriot who has spent his career standing up for America. To see the White House even hesitate to defend a diplomat is deeply troubling.

Pushback
Clinton’s record with ambassadors is not exactly spic and span, and conservatives were quick to remind her of that.

The overwhelming theme of the day was reminding Hillary Ambassador Stevens died unnecessarily on her watch…

The investigation that happened in the aftermath was a complete joke.
So much so, in fact, it is part of the reason why Congressman Trey Gowdy is refusing to run for office again.

Liberals continue to claim Clinton was vindicated when it was an actual lack of cooperation from our own Justice Department that has protected her from the real truth every truly being uncovered.

It is VERY unlikely Trump is taking Putin’s request seriously and ever more unlikely he would ever turn over an American diplomat, so Hillary opened herself up needlessly to this attack.

Do You Think Hillary Will Run in 2020?

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over while expecting a different result.

Hillary, by definition, is insane, because she continues to point out her own deficiencies while attempting to take a cheap shot at this administration.

Hillary Calls For ‘Defending Diplomats:’ Blindsided when Benghazi Survivor Brings Up Dead Brothers

Failed Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has refused to step aside following her unexpected defeat in the 2016 election and has since that time seemingly made it a habit to repeatedly insert her foot into her mouth with ill-advised commentary and attacks on the man who beat her, President Donald Trump.

Most recently, Clinton launched an attack via Twitter on the president with regard to a rumor that had begun to circulate about a potential deal between the U.S. and Russia that would allow for individuals wanted by those nations to be questioned, even as they lived in the opposite nation.

According to The Daily Wire, one of those individuals wanted for questioning by Russia is former U.S. ambassador Michael McFaul, who the Russians accuse of being involved in a financial scam and who Clinton rushed to defend … which opened her up to a counterattack in regard to a different ambassador she failed to defend in the past.

Clinton tweeted, “Ambassador @McFaul is a patriot who has spent his career standing up for America. To see the White House even hesitate to defend a diplomat is deeply troubling.”

TRENDING: Trump’s New Name for America’s Biggest Threat Is Sure To Send Leftists into a Frenzy
That particular message calling out the White House for failing to defend a diplomat didn’t sit particularly well with one of the survivors of the 2012 Benghazi terrorist attack, in which Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three others were killed by Libyan militants who attacked a U.S. diplomatic compound and CIA annex.
That survivor was Kris “Tanto” Paronto, a former Special Forces officer and Army Ranger who was one of several private security contractors who fended off repeated waves of attacks from the terrorists at the compound and a CIA annex in Benghazi while the Obama White House and then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton did nothing.

@KrisParonto
Are you f’n kidding me @HillaryClinton ?!!! You left Ambassador Stevens and us to die in Benghazi then spewed lie after lie to the family members of my dead teammates and to the world to cover it up and now you have the nerve to talk about defending diplomats?!You are disgusting!

On top of doing nothing for the 13 hours during which the waves of terror assaults raged, Clinton and the Obama White House then worked to downplay and cover up the attack in the aftermath, even going so far as to lie repeatedly to the public about the cause of the attack and their failure to respond to warnings of an imminent attack ahead of time.
Those characters, in conjunction with establishment politicians in Congress, then worked diligently to smear and undermine the credibility of Benghazi survivors, like Paronto, as well as the family members of those killed in the attack in order to protect the future political ambitions of both former President Barack Obama and would-be president Clinton.
According to NBC News, the issue with McFaul came to a head following Trump’s summit in Helsinki, Finland, with Russian President Vladimir Putin, during which Putin had offered to allow U.S. investigators under Special Counsel Robert Mueller to travel to Russia to interview Russian intelligence officials indicted over alleged 2016 election interference efforts.
In exchange, Russian investigators would be allowed to question McFaul, and potentially others, in a deal that Trump initially found to be intriguing and was described as “an incredible offer.”

White House press secretary Sarah Sanders had stated Wednesday that there had been some discussion of the idea but no commitments had been made, then clarified on Thursday that Trump ultimately disagreed with the proposal put forward by Putin and would not allow McFaul, or anyone else, to be questioned by the Russians.

Nevertheless, Clinton’s tweet — which reeks of a lack of self-awareness — went out anyway and left herself open to be hit on her hypocrisy by a number of Twitter users, not just Paronto.

This is just the latest example of a moment where Clinton likely would’ve been better off keeping her mouth shut instead of opening it and reminding everyone of her history of failed leadership.

3 babies among 100 dead off the coast of Libya

Liberals need to take a good, hard look at their heroes, namely Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama for the horrors that are happening in Libya right now.

When three babies washed up ashore off the coast of Libya, it was a brutal reminder of how much damage the Obama administration, Hillary Clinton in particular,has done to that country as a direct result of the administration’s “deeds” in that part of the world.

The Devil You Know…
Hillary Clinton played a significant role in removing Muammar Qaddafi from power in Libya.

Of that there is little debate.

What she did not do, however, was plan for the aftermath.

The days following Qaddafi’s removal are widely regarded as one of the biggest blunders of both Hillary’s State Department career and of the Obama administration itself.

It was Hillary Clinton who made the recommendation of enforcing a no-fly zone to allow rebel forces to regroup.

It was Hillary Clinton who took up the case of arming and training those very same rebel forces.

The same rebel forces that were in part responsible for the attack against our Ambassador and CIA quarters in 2012.

Amazingly, Hillary Clinton continues to tout what happened in Libya as a major accomplishment of her time as Secretary of State.

As she continues to do with the presidential election, she neglects to fill in any details as to what actually happened after Qaddafi was removed and take responsibility for the aftermath.

The Reality
The state of Libya today IS Hillary’s fault, of that there is also no argument.

The policies of both she and then-President Obama have left a country behind that is in ruins.

Residents of Libya are constantly trying to flee the conditions of their native country.

Sadly, the scene of dead bodies happens more often than not.

Do You Believe Hillary Clinton Destroyed Libya?
Yes
No
It is time for the media to tell the truth about what is happening to these people.
The blood of those babies and every dead body is on her hands… and it is time she he held accountable.

McCain slams ‘bureaucratic incompetence’ of Obama admin’s Benghazi response

McCain slams ‘bureaucratic incompetence’ of Obama admin’s Benghazi response
1Flatworld / CCL
With the time he has left, John McCain (R-AZ) wants to make sure his feelings on Benghazi are perfectly understood.

McCain blasted the Obama administration’s “a– covering” response to the diplomatic disaster in his upcoming book, The Restless Wave: Good Times, Just Causes, Great Fights, and Other Appreciations, co-written with Mark Salter, Fox News reports.

McCain blasts incompetent Obama admin
McCain doesn’t shy away from controversy in his upcoming book, reflecting on his life and legacy while bemoaning the current state of politics, with some barbs pointed at President Donald Trump. But the Trump administration isn’t the only one in McCain’s sights.

According to an advance copy of the book obtained by Fox News, the ailing senator slams the Obama administration’s “bureaucratic incompetence” in a chapter dedicated to the Arab Spring and the Obama administration’s disastrous 2011 intervention in Libya. The Arizona senator discusses his visits to the North African nation and blames the Obama administration for neglecting to secure the U.S. embassy before it was attacked in September 2012.

The attacks killed U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens, U.S. Foreign Service Officer Sean Smith and Navy SEALs Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods. McCain points to the administration’s denial of more security prior to the attack. “Chris had asked the State Department for more security for the Benghazi mission [before the attack], but it had been denied,” McCain writes.

McCain lauds Stevens, calling him “a talented diplomat, and an exceptional human being.” The attack that left four Americans dead was investigated by congressional Republicans.

“He believed in what he was doing, supporting the Libyan people’s rights to freedom and justice, and helping them build an open society, and he was effective,” McCain wrote. “… I miss him very much.”

While he was upset, McCain didn’t initially blame the administration — he began to sour once it began covering up its mistakes. McCain was rankled by the administration’s misleading decision to attribute the attack to an inflammatory anti-Muslim video.

“I started to get angry when it appeared administration officials were knowingly misleading us about the attack, attributing it to a video that some idiot had made mocking Islam that incited a spontaneous mob that turned violent,” McCain wrote.

McCain blamed the administration for misleading the public with its excuses, only to acknowledge the attack was a planned assault by terrorists a week later. “It took more than a week for the White House to acknowledge it had been a planned terrorist attack. The uproar that ensued became a lasting political controversy that’s still debated.” McCain concluded:

In the end, all it established is what could have been presumed at the beginning, bureaucratic incompetence and a– covering, two common conditions in Washington. Anger subsides, politics moves on, but sadness remains. Chris Stevens deserved better from all of us.

Do you agree that the Obama administration mishandled Benghazi?
Yes
No

Calls Hillary “friend”
Given his harsh words on Benghazi, one might expect McCain to target then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as well, as many Republicans have done. But McCain has mostly good things to say about the former secretary of state throughout the book, describing her as a “friend.”

McCain had called the Obama administration’s response “willful ignorance or abysmal intelligence” and “a massive cover-up or incompetence” at the time of the attack. While holding on to his criticisms of the Obama administration, McCain doesn’t seem to have let politics get in the way of his personal relationships; Obama will be at his funeral, while Trump, at McCain’s insistence, will not.

ByJames LyttlePublished on July 17, 2017
Col. Andrew Woods has come forward with information that further indicates that help was ready and actually in route to Benghazi, but was forced to turn back because Barack Obama would not give the go-ahead order.


Report Advertisement
From PJ Media: Col. Andrew Wood had once commanded a Special Forces anti-terrorism team protecting Ambassador Chis Stevens and other diplomats in Libya. In October of 2012, Woods told Congress that one month before the attacks in Benghazi, his team had been removed from Libya by the Obama administration, despite the numerous warnings of impending terrorist attacks. Wood told Attkisson that Special Forces (the ones mentioned in the “spinning up” email from Jeremy Bash) were on their way to Benghazi, but were ordered to turn back.

“Those individuals I know loaded aircraft and got on their way to Benghazi to respond to that incident. They were not allowed to cross the border as per protocol until they got approval from the commander in chief,” Wood explained.  “That authority has to come from him or they’re not allowed to enter the country.”

Attkisson told Malzberg,

“This is something that the president and the White House has steadfastly denied, but there’s now what I would call an overwhelming body of evidence that leads us to believe that somebody stopped a number of teams and potential rescuers from entering Libya or going to Benghazi to help while those attacks were underway.”


Report Advertisement
“They could have gotten there before the last two Americans died,” Attkisson noted. “Those attacks went on for eight hours.”

Jeremy Bash sent the email to Jacob Sullivan, deputy chief of staff to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, at 7:19 pm Washington time.

Attkisson notes in Part One of “Rescue Interrupted” that “the White House has refused to detail the involvement of President Obama — the Commander-in-Chief — while Americans were under attack on foreign soil.”

Benghazi Hero Drops Jaws, Reveals What Comey and McCabe’s FBI Did to Him
By Gary Maher - March 20, 2018053
When it was announced Friday evening that former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe had been fired on the recommendation of both the Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General and the FBI’s Office of Professional Responsibility, there were plenty of “hot takes” from politicians and media figures on both the right and left.

However, according to BizPac Review, the hottest take of all in regard to McCabe’s termination may have come from one of the heroes who emerged from the deadly 2012 Benghazi terrorist attack, Kris “Tanto” Paronto.

Paronto, a former U.S. Army Ranger who was a security contractor in Benghazi at the time of the attack and helped fend off repeated waves of assaults by terrorists at the U.S. consulate and nearby CIA annex, took to Twitter to make his feelings known in regard to McCabe, as well as former FBI Director James Comey and former CIA Director John Brennan.

He began with a tweet which eviscerated McCabe’s rebuttal claiming he had been “singled out” in an effort to “slander” him and the FBI in general by President Donald Trump and his administration.

Paronto tweeted, “Slander the FBI and Law Enforcement?! You’ve got to be s—-ing me Andy. You, James and your @BarackObama appointed syndicate brought nothing but lies, politics, corruption & disgrace to a once great FBI. @Comey #AndrewMcCabe #LockThemUp.”

But it was the tweet he sent immediately following that which really garnered attention, as he appeared to indicate that partisan members of the FBI attempted to slap him and the other team members from Benghazi with excessive use of force charges, presumably in relation to their use of deadly force to defend the consulate and CIA annex from repeated attacks.

Ambassador killed in Benghazi attack considered leaving Libya in April 2011, emails reveal
2016-03-01 | Fox News
Seventeen months before he was killed in the Sept. 11, 2012 attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, Ambassador Chris Stevens was seriously considering leaving the country as its civil war widened. 

The ambassador's concerns are reflected in emails sent to then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's inner circle. The emails were released by the State Department Monday as part of the 14th and final batch of messages from Clinton's private server.

One email in particular, dated April 10, 2011, relays Stevens' safety concerns to the State Department. It was sent by a State Department official named Timmy Davis to several key Clinton aides, including Jake Sullivan, now the top foreign policy adviser on Clinton's presidential campaign, and Huma Abedin.

The message, with the subject line "Stevens update" reads, in part, "The situation in Ajdabiyah [a town approximately 90 miles southeast of Benghazi] has worsened to the point where Stevens is considering departure from Benghazi. The envoy's delegation is currently doing a phased checkout (paying the hotel bills, moving some comms to the boat, etc) ... He will wait 2-3 more hours, then revisit the decision on departure."

Seventeen months before he was killed in the Sept. 11, 2012 attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, Ambassador Chris Stevens was seriously considering leaving the country as its civil war widened. 

The ambassador's concerns are reflected in emails sent to then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's inner circle. The emails were released by the State Department Monday as part of the 14th and final batch of messages from Clinton's private server.

One email in particular, dated April 10, 2011, relays Stevens' safety concerns to the State Department. It was sent by a State Department official named Timmy Davis to several key Clinton aides, including Jake Sullivan, now the top foreign policy adviser on Clinton's presidential campaign, and Huma Abedin.

The message, with the subject line "Stevens update" reads, in part, "The situation in Ajdabiyah [a town approximately 90 miles southeast of Benghazi] has worsened to the point where Stevens is considering departure from Benghazi. The envoy's delegation is currently doing a phased checkout (paying the hotel bills, moving some comms to the boat, etc) ... He will wait 2-3 more hours, then revisit the decision on departure."

The message from Davis indicates there is heavy sniper fire and shelling in Ajdabiyah. According to the message, Stevens is apparently trying to see if “this is an irreversible situation. Departure would send a significant political signal” that the U.S. had lost confidence in Libya's Transitional National Council, which oversaw the rebel forces fighting to overthrow dictator Muammar Qaddafi. 

Davis' message was forwarded to Clinton by Abedin. The secretary of state's response is not known.

The latest email release also indicates that State Department official Wendy Sherman sent at least one classified email to Clinton in August 2012. The email, which Sherman sent with the attached message, "I don't usually forward emails such as below", dealt with Egyptian troop movements. 

Sherman, who left the State Department this past October, led the U.S. delegation at last summer's nuclear talks with Iran. Fox News previously reported that Sherman appears in a 2013 State Department video saying that in the interest of speed, Clinton and her aides shared information that "would never be on an unclassified system" normally.

Another revelation in the latest email dump is that Clinton confidant Sidney Blumenthal urged Clinton to approve the showing of Usama bin Laden's death photos to members of Congress after the Al Qaeda leader was killed by Navy SEALs in May 2011. 

In an email to Clinton, Blumenthal argued that the photos would provide a boost to President Obama's political capital ahead of that summer's lengthy debt ceiling fight with the Republican-controlled House of Representatives. 

"Having the members file through [a special secure room] will provide testimony to the President's feat," Blumenthal wrote in the May 5, 2011 message. "They will be not only be acknowledging but also enhancing his power. They will in effect become liegemen bowing before him, but not in any way they will resent or will protest. They will serve as witnesses to the magnitude of what he has done."

Members of Senate and House committees who deal with intelligence and military matters were later invited to view the photos, but they have not been made public.

State Department spokesman John Kirby told reporters Monday that one additional email between Clinton and Obama was withheld from the final batch of messages, bringing the total number of such messages to 19.

Kirby also said that 52,000 pages of emails, not 55,000 as previously stated, have been released to the public from Clinton's private server, which was kept in her bathroom in her Chappaqua, N.Y. home. Kirby said 55,000 was a "colloquial" term used previously by the State Department and the real number of pages is between 52 or 53,000.

Fox News' Lucas Tomlinson and Chad Pergram contributed to this report.

Look What Clinton Just Did to Marine Who Accused Hillary of ‘Covering Up’ Benghazi…

By Editorial Staff - February 27, 2016
Despite her “victorious” 11 hours of testimony last fall, very few Americans who are awake feel anything at all has been cleared up on the tragedy that was Benghazi. Except perhaps that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is, quite literally, getting away with murder.

So it’s not really surprising that Americans — and members of our military especially — would continue to demand answers from the Clintons. The answers that, somehow, our government’s “due process” failed to deliver.

What is surprising, however, is how such a questioner from our military is treated — not just by the Clintons themselves, but by their fellow Americans whom they serve.

Via Fox News:

A man was removed Friday by police officers from a Hillary Clinton campaign rally in South Carolina, after raising questions with husband and former President Bill Clinton about his wife’s role in the Benghazi terror attacks.

“Four (Americans) were killed and your wife is trying to cover it up,” said the protester, who said he’s a Marine sergeant and eight-year, active-duty veteran.

Hillary Clinton was secretary of state during the Sept. 11, 2012 terror attacks on a U.S. outpost in Benghazi, Libya, in which U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans were killed.

Families of the victims say Clinton told them in the immediate aftermath of the attacks that the strikes were inspired by an online, anti-Islamic video. Clinton’s emails show she knew within hours of the strikes that they were terror related.

“I heard you,” Bill Clinton said at the rally in Bluffton, S.C., in an effort to respond to the protestor, over cheer and boos and before sheriff deputies removed him. “You listen to me now.”

The Marine never did get an answer before he was forcibly removed.

Watch for yourself — and take note of the boos this questioner is receiving from the crowd of Clinton supporters:

Clinton needs “to take responsibility for dropping the ball,” the Marine told the Island Packet/Beaufort Gazette outside the venue, after being removed. “The fact that she is not in prison now is mind-blowing.”

What’s equally mind-blowing is that so many Americans not only continue to support Hillary Clinton, they blindly defend her from such despicable actions. While Bill Clinton suggests the Marine’s mind has been “poisoned by lies,” it’s actually these Clintonbot supporters whose minds have been poisoned by lies — and willingly allow our so-called leaders to not only leave our men to die in Benghazi, but continue to boldly and shamelessly lie about it.

WE WERE NOT ASKING QUESTIONS. WE WERE THERE TO GET A MESSAGE ACROSS.

When Bill Clinton visited Bluffton, SC to rally people to vote for Hillary, he met the ire of a former Marine Drill Sgt. who spoke out against Hillary's lies surrounding the Benghazi Four. WE WERE NOT ASKING QUESTIONS, but Bill kept trying to turn it into a Q&A.  

Our message was that Hillary has no right to run for President.  Hillary Lied to the Families of the Benghazi Four-Stevens, Woods, Smith, & Doherty. She lied over the American Flag-draped coffins of our Brave Men. 

Hillary deserves to spend the rest of her life in prison for that alone.  Yet her crimes encompass so much more....Watergate, Chinagate, Emailgate (this alone should have her convicted for using unsecured servers during her first three months tenure as Secretary of State.  There is so much more Hillary is guilty of, but her LIES and arrogance surrounding the Benghazi Four is enough to have her incarcerated for life.-----AMERICAN PATRIOTS III%

***********************************************************************************************************************************

***Side Note:  Some ignorant and jealous lowlifes keep posting about an Incident that occurred between this Marine Sgt., who is a former Drill Instructor at Parris Island, SC, and another former Drill Instructor SGTMAJ Archie.  SGTMAJ Archie had seen this particular Marine Sgt. protesting the Bergdahl exchange for 5 top taliban commanders/Terrorists and he did not agree that he should have been wearing his Cover (Marine Drill Instructor's hat). Now, this is a matter of opinion, right or wrong, it is opinion. The two disagreed on this subject over a heated argument on the phone the night before we went to protest on the road leading to Parris Island. When we arrived, media was already there as well as the Sheriff's Deputy (to maintain order and keep the peace) and SGTMAJ Archie was waiting at the Parris Island gait.  It was not long that SGTMAJ Archie drove off base, jumped out of his jeep where he began yelling at the Marine Sgt. for wearing his Cover. During this argument between two bellowing Drill Instructors SGTMAJ Archie pushed into the other Marine Sgt. with his head and knocked the Cover off of his head, he then picked it up and said he would throw it in the trash and drove off with it. 
The Sheriff's Deputy had to get the Cover back and charges were pressed for assault yet later dropped. SGTMAJ Archie was FORCED to retire. NOW. There are those who blame the Marine Sgt. for SGTMAJ Archie being forced to retire  because they do not believe he should have been wearing his Cover, though there is no law stating that he cannot. It is opinion as many others say he has the right to wear his Cover.  

Now, I find it sad that SGTMAJ Archie claims absolutely no responsibility for his actions that day and his supporters continue to attack the Marine Sgt. for SGTMAJ Archie being FORCED to retire.  The Marine Sgt. DID NOT FORCE SGTMAJ Archie to wait for us to arrive after the argument the night before and knowing there would be further disagreement in front of the media and the Sheriff's Deputy. The Marine Sgt. DID NOT FORCE SGTMAJ Archie to drive off base to confront him.  It would take a Mighty Powerful Man to FORCE SGTMAJ Archie to do anything. When does a man take RESPONSIBILITY for his own actions? It is sad and pathetic that the blame is placed on the Marine Sgt. for SGTMAJ Archie's actions that day. 

The problem with all of this, is that the BIGGER PICTURE is lost. The MESSAGE of the Protest is Lost when you have all of the petty bickering. Bergdahl, a Traitor, was traded for 5 taliban commanders/terrorists. and now our message  is that Hillary Clinton should NOT be running for President, but sitting in Prison for the rest of her life for all of her LIES and CRIMES.  I post this because many keep posting and attacking and I am setting the record straight.


Putting away the softballs, Univision’s Jorge Ramos brought what’s been missing during Democrat debates, hard hitting questions.

JORGE RAMOS: On the night of the attacks in Benghazi, you sent an email to your daughter Chelsea saying, that an al-Qaeda-like group was responsible for the killing of the Americans. However, some of the families claim that you lied to them. Secretary Clinton, did you lie to them?

Just to refresh, here’s Hillary Clinton’s and President Obama’s story.

HILLARY CLINTON: We’ve seen rage and violence directed at American embassies over an awful internet video that we had nothing to do with. 

OBAMA: As a crude and disgusting video sparked outrage throughout the Muslim world. Now I have made it clear that the United States government had nothing to do with this video.

The problem is, they both knew it wasn’t the video. Hillary Clinton said so in her own email.

JIM JORDAN: You’re looking at an email you sent to your family. Here’s what you said, at 11 o’clock that night - approximately one hour after you told the American people it was a video you say to your family, “Two officers were killed today in Benghazi by an al-Qaeda-like group.” Most significantly, the next day within 24 hours, you had a conversation with the Egyptian Prime Minister. You told him this, “We know the attack in Libya had nothing to do with the film. It was a planned attack - not a protest.”

So what did Mrs. Clinton have to say about being called a liar by a Benghazi victim’s mother, Patrica Smith?

CLINTON: You know, look, I feel a great deal of sympathy for the families of the four brave Americans that we lost at Benghazi. And certainly I can’t even imagine the grief that she has for losing her son. But she’s wrong. She’s absolutely wrong. At the time I emailed with my daughter, a terrorist group had taken credit for the attacks on our facility in Benghazi.

Hang on, let’s take that back.

JORDAN: We know, not we think, not it might be, we know the attack in Libya had nothing to do with the film. It was a planned attack - not a protest.

CLINTON: Within 16, 18 hours, they rescinded taking credit. They did it all on social media. And the video did play a role. We have captured one of the lead terrorists and he admits it was both a terrorist attack and it was influenced by the video.

So which is it? First you say it was from a video, but in an email you claim it was a planned attack. Now it’s both? Do you trust Hillary Clinton?

JORDAN: State Department experts knew the truth. You knew the truth. But that’s not what the American people got.

WATCH: What Hillary Clinton Just Said About Women and ‘Climate Change’ Has America GAGGING

Hillary Clinton just can’t help herself.

She’s so far left she can’t see straight.
According to the twice-failed presidential candidate, ‘women will be primarily burdened by climate change.’
In a nutshell, “global warming” is racist.
From LifeZette:

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton predicted Monday during a human rights event at Georgetown University that climate change will force women to “bear the brunt of looking for the food, looking for the firewood, looking for the place to migrate to …”
Such migration won’t be led by men, she maintained, but rather by women “when all of the grass is finally gone as the desertification moves south and you have to keep moving your livestock or your crops are no longer growing.”

More from Daily Caller:

“So yes, women once again, will be the primary…primarily burdened with the problems of climate change.”

At this same event at Georgetown University, Clinton complained of the sexism and misogyny she believed influenced Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign.

“Some of it was old fashioned sexism and a refusal to accept the equality of women and certainly the equality of women’s leadership,” she said. “And some of it as an outgrowth of all of this anxiety and insecurity that is playing on people and leading them in a hunt for scapegoats.”
This woman is PATHETIC!

Breaking News: Clintons Have Been Using the FBI Against Their Enemies for Years
https://www.usapoliticstoday.org/clintons-fbi-agents-enemies-years/
By Gary Maher - February 6, 20180156
It has all the elements of a polarizing scandal, with none other than Hillary Clinton at center stage — plus highly sensitive confidential documents, unexplained actions involving the FBI, and allegations that federal investigators were weaponized for partisan political purposes.

No, this is not the infamous Christopher Steele dossier containing multiple allegations about Donald Trump’s relationships with shadowy Russian business tycoons and spies. Nor is it about the Steele dossier’s deceitful use by rogue FBI executives to put campaign operatives for the 2016 Republican presidential nominee under official surveillance.

That Hillary Clinton/FBI scandal began just last year.

The Hillary Clinton/FBI scandal described in the lead paragraph above began in 1993, only months after she and husband Bill began what turned out to be an eight-year residency in the White House. You see, Bill and Hillary Clinton’s use of the FBI for political gain is nothing new.

Here’s how the Weekly Standard summarized the Clintons’ 1993 “Filegate” scandal when it became the focus of a special counsel investigation in 1996:

The good news is that Whitewater special counsel Kenneth Starr is now looking into the circumstances under which the Clinton White House improperly secured and reviewed highly confidential background information from the FBI on more than 400 Reagan- and Bush-administration employees. A full accounting of this atrocious invasion of privacy may eventually become public.

But the bad news is that, in the meantime, the whole story is being set up to disappear. A separate FBI analysis of the “Filegate” caper has now been released. It is highly critical of the entire enterprise — which seems to have victimized 71 more individuals than had previously been identified.

But the FBI inquiry does not address the question of White House conduct. Were Clinton’s aides on a dirt-digging expedition? Those aides continue to maintain, in the president’s words, that ‘it was just an innocent bureaucratic snafu’: computer glitches and procedural carelessness, with no malign intent and no disclosure of personal information.

In short: no harm, no foul.

That’s long been the Clinton pattern — laws bent, broken or ignored, political opponents smeared, self-righteous protests of innocence when exposed, trusting supporters used and abused, and endless obfuscations, often punctuated by artless evasions, such as Hillary’s bemused response when asked by a reporter if she wiped her server clean: “What, like with a cloth or something?”

With the release Friday of the four-page “Nunes memo” — a summary of classified information obtained by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and composed by staffers for the panel’s chairman, Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) — one paragraph in particular stands out:

The dossier — compiled by Christopher Steele (Steele dossier) on behalf of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and the Hillary Clinton campaign — formed an essential part of the Carter Page FISA application. Steele was a longtime FBI source who was paid over $160,000 by the DNC and Clinton campaign, via the law firm Perkins Coie and research firm Fusion GPS, to obtain derogatory information on Donald Trump’s ties to Russia.

The dossier, described to Congress by then-FBI Director James Comey as “salacious and unverified,” was the foundational element in the specious narrative peddled by and through the mainstream media since the day after the 2016 election to explain Donald Trump’s astounding defeat of Hillary Clinton. Yeah, that’s the ticket. Trump got his Russian buddies to help him beat Hillary!

And even though an internal FBI unit described the dossier as “minimally corroborated,” the bureau still used it to obtain and maintain a warrant for turning the massive surveillance power of the federal government against private citizens working for — who else? — Trump.

Would that surveillance have happened without the dossier? Not according to then-deputy director of the FBI, Andrew McCabe, who, according to the Nunes memo, told Congress in December 2017 during closed testimony “that no surveillance warrant would have been sought from the [FISA] without the Steele dossier information.” As Comey might say, “That’s it?”

So there we have it yet again: Bill and Hillary Clinton manipulating the administrative, investigative and intelligence powers of the Washington Establishment to benefit themselves and discredit their opponents. Reasonable people wonder if this time the Clintons will, at long last, be held to account.
Remember in 1993 when 400 FBI confidential files on Reagan and Bush appointees turned up in the White House?
