More whistleblowers will emerge shortly in the escalating Benghazi scandal, according to two former U.S. diplomats who spoke with PJ Media Monday afternoon.

These whistleblowers, colleagues of the former diplomats, are currently securing legal counsel because they work in areas not fully protected by the Whistleblower law.

According to the diplomats, what these whistleblowers will say will be at least as explosive as what we have already learned about the scandal, including details about what really transpired in Benghazi that are potentially devastating to both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

The former diplomats inform PJM the new revelations concentrate in two areas — what Ambassador Chris Stevens was actually doing in Benghazi and the pressure put on General Carter Ham, then in command of U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) and therefore responsible for Libya, not to act to protect jeopardized U.S. personnel.

Stevens’ mission in Benghazi, they will say, was to buy back Stinger missiles from al-Qaeda groups issued to them by the State Department, not by the CIA. Such a mission would usually be a CIA effort, but the intelligence agency had opposed the idea because of the high risk involved in arming “insurgents” with powerful weapons that endanger civilian aircraft.

Hillary Clinton still wanted to proceed because, in part, as one of the diplomats said, she wanted “to overthrow Gaddafi on the cheap.”

This left Stevens in the position of having to clean up the scandalous enterprise when it became clear that the “insurgents” actually were al-Qaeda – indeed, in the view of one of the diplomats, the same group that attacked the consulate and ended up killing Stevens.

The former diplomat who spoke with PJ Media regarded the whole enterprise as totally amateurish and likened it to the Mike Nichols film Charlie Wilson’s War about a clueless congressman who supplies Stingers to the Afghan guerrillas. “It’s as if Hillary and the others just watched that movie and said ‘Hey, let’s do that!’” the diplomat said.

so Hillary Clinton gave stinger missiles that could be used to take down civilian aircraft to al-Qaeda groups endangering all civilian air travelers. This explains why they wanted so desperately to keep the blaming of the attack away from terrorist so to deflect away from what she did and why Stevens was in Benghazi

there goes any hope for Hillary in 2016

First they arm Mexican drug cartels with AK-47s, now they're handing Stinger missiles over to al-Qaeda. What next? Ballistic missiles to Cuba?

Given that they knew it was al Qaeda attacking the compound, might this also explain why they leaned on General Ham not to send aid? Can you imagine if al Qaeda shot something down with stinger missiles provided by the State Dept???

Oh, dear--this would be quite the sticky little wicket.
 
Re: Ex-Diplomats Report New Benghazi Whistleblowers with Info Devastating to Clinton

sorry but i think those whistleblowers are letting off hot air.

Even republican aides are getting skeptical of the conspiracy claims.

Senior GOP aides pointed out that many of the accusations involving security and military forces turned out to be unfounded. One recent example involved a supposed whistle-blower who reported that an armed Predator drone was operating in the area, but was not called upon to respond to the Benghazi attack, an assertion labeled erroneous by Pentagon officials and Hill staffers.

“There are some real issues there and then there is just some crazy stuff,” the senior House GOP aide said. “The crazy stuff is, you know, the airman in Ramstein [Air Base, Germany,] that knew that the Predator [drone] was armed. There are no armed Predators in the region there. The [status of forces agreement] does not allow us to fly them armed, and everybody knows it.”

GOP aides described another criticism aired at a recent House Oversight Committee hearing that there were four security officers at the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli who were ordered to remain in the capital for several hours after the first reports of an attack, rather than being scrambled to assist the consulate in Benghazi.

“The stand-down order was for four guys,” the GOP aide said. “When you step back and say how were the people killed at the annex, they were killed by an indirect fire mortar round. Four more M-4s [rifles] inside the annex doesn’t change that outcome. In fact, they might have just created more casualties. We have got to get down to what really happened on the DoD side and for us the DoD side was not properly postured, why?”

Further, there has been some criticism of U.S. military officials in Europe overseeing Africa Command who may not have reacted directly to the attacks. But they are not permitted to launch offensive operations across borders without civilian authorization.

And gernades and other military grade weapons. Not just guns. After Operation F and F there was a huge increase and drive by gernading in mexico.

You don;t even know what they have to say and you're already attacking them?

This is the usual tactic of the leftists. Attack anyone who doesn't follow the leftist meme.

Here's what Squealer from Animal farm had to say on the subject.
Unfortunately, you've grown up hearing voices that incessantly warn of government as nothing more than some separate, sinister entity that's at the root of all our problems; some of these same voices also doing their best to gum up the works. They'll warn that tyranny is always lurking just around the corner. You should reject these voices. Because what they suggest is that our brave and creative and unique experiment in self-rule is somehow just a sham with which we can't be trusted.

They also supplied money and arms to the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt.

Video killed the radio star-

Back in it's day 'Charlie Wilson's War' was applauded by 'conservatives' as a brilliant strike against the E-Vile Empire by passionate patriots likened to our Founding Fathers, medals and awards all around....

now it was clumsy and amateurish :confused:

It would be VERY interesting to see just how 'State' could supply Ground to Air USofA missiles in that region instead of the much better suited CIA. Seems to me a much better story would be the CIA made a mess and was using Benghazi to try and clean it up.

But I can see how the super right partisans would dearly love to lay this on Hillary, most of this has the goal of dirtying her up for 2016 and Petraeus isn't running for President.

I have read about the buy back of what was referred to as shoulder fired missiles, but dismissed it. Not fully covered by the whistle blower law, now I wonder who that could be? I hope they have some pretty good darn good lawyers, if they are gonna do what I think they are gonna do, they will need them.
