Emails reportedly show confidant told Clinton Benghazi attack planned by fighters tied to Al Qaeda | Fox News

The guidance from ex-Clinton aide Sidney Blumenthal was contained in a memo sent Sept. 13, according to The New York Times. It is the latest documentation effectively contradicting the administration's early narrative that the attack was driven by protests over an anti-Islam Internet video -- and raising questions over why officials stuck to that story for days.

According to the Times, Blumenthal initially blamed "demonstrators" angry over that video for the attacks. But the next day, he sent Clinton a very different memo.

According to the Times, Blumenthal told Clinton the attack was driven by Al Qaeda-tied Ansar al-Shariah members who had planned it for a month and used a protest as cover. He cited "sensitive sources."

"We should get this around asap," Clinton reportedly told an adviser in response.

And this is the New York Times reporting this, not Fox News.

This chick is as dirty of a politician as they come.
 
Re: Emails reportedly show confidant told Clinton Benghazi attack planned by fighters

A hacker using the alias “Guccifer” was credited last week with compromising the AOL email account of Sidney Blumenthal, a 64-year-old journalist who formerly worked as an assistant to then-President Bill Clinton. Now days after the security breach was first reported, Guccifer has supplied RT and a number of other media outlets and political figures with incredibly sensitive memos that were emailed to Mr. Clinton’s wife, Hillary, in the wake of last year’s terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya.

“The White House and senior Congressional members deliberately and knowingly pursued a policy that provided material support to terrorist organizations in order to topple a ruler [Muammar Gaddafi] who had been working closely with the West actively to suppress al-Qaeda,” the Citizens Commission on Benghazi (CCB) said in an interim report released Tuesday.

Why, because an old friend sent her some unsolicited emails, which by the way, she didn't ignore?

No, because she greeted the coffins of the people who dies in Benghazi by lying right to the face of their parents.

That has a meaning. This man should go to jail.
 
Re: Emails reportedly show confidant told Clinton Benghazi attack planned by fighters

I think we know who pushed the video now.

It's the kind of question that is going to be impossible for her to answer:

"Mrs Clinton, when you told the families that their fallen had died in response to a video, did you have information then that in fact the attack was a planned terrorist operation?"

Either she can say no, in which case we would know she is lying.
Or she can say yes, in which case we would know that she was lying.

And guess what, Americans will still stick her in the WH. As the right has demonstrated as well, party preservation trumps everything!

Or she can just keep saying what she always has. That the video story was supplied by the CIA and she was told it was the most accurate report available at the time. How that somehow makes her a traitor I really am at a loss to see. Why would/should she believe an unsolicited Email over the CIA who were in charge of security in Benghazi? And be specific

At which point she can explain why she never changed her story, or informed the families she left hanging.

Families left hanging? How?

Families left hanging? How?





Particularly effed up is Hillary told this grieving mother that she was going punish the person who made the video...weeks after she knew it wasn't caused by a video. But then again, there was an election on, and Hillary wanted Obama to win.

:shrug: Okay then she's lying there - because the IC said pretty much immediately (and by "pretty much" I mean "as it was still happening") that it was a terrorist attack.

How that somehow makes her a traitor I really am at a loss to see.

I wouldn't say it makes her a traitor - I would say it makes her an awful liar who chose to lie to the families of the dead in this instance in order to help win an election.

1. Not unsolicited, this was clearly Blumenthal's job.
2. Because - since we can now start to follow email chains - we know that she did, in fact, choose to give credence to Blumenthal.
3. Because the CIA, the DIA and AFRICOM all agreed with Blumethal's assessment. The emphasis on the internet video was added by the political side of the house, not the IC/DOD.
