Hicks: Questions Over Benghazi Led to Demotion
WASHINGTON -- A State Department official on Wednesday offered the first public testimony from an American diplomat who was on the ground in Libya the night last September when the American diplomatic compound in Benghazi was attacked. And he said he was later demoted for raising questions about how the attack was handled.
This is part of how we know Champ, Hilde and their team bungled this from beginning to end. They've been threatening and attacking just about everyone who could shed light on what happened.
The other part of how we know is that they blamed that idiot YouTube video and jugged its hapless producer -- who still sits in jail, by the way. If Champ had made the decision not to embark on a rescue because of information he had, or because he judged it to be the greater hazard, then fine. We'd disagree but we'd respect his right to make the call. But the moment Champ, Hilde and Susie Rice started to lie to us about that video, that's the moment when it became clear that Benghazi wasn't about saving our ambassador, but about saving Obama's re-election instead.
I'm sure Candy Crowley would agree. |
