| Top Intel Dem: 'No evidence' for Benghazi 'stand down' claim |
| 2014-09-07 |
| [THEHILL] The top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee on Friday said new allegations that U.S. commandos were ordered to "stand down" during the 2012 attack in Benghazi, Libya, aren't supported by findings from House and Senate Sherlocks. "Da witnesses are all dead!" Five commandos who survived the Benghazi attack, which claimed the lives of Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans, made the allegation in a new book, accusing the CIA station chief of delaying a rescue mission. Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger (D-Md.) said politicians never came across evidence indicating the station chief had told his team to "stand down" and abort a rescue mission. |

| #4 As intended, this latest revelation, a carefully crafted DCI Klington deflection, leads directly to the State Department, it's former head and presidential hopeful. More competition for the lagging sales of Beest's new garage sale standard, "Hard Choices." Fauxichantis and ValJar must be clasping hands and smiling. |

| #3 Witness Statement A witness statement is a formal document containing your own account of the facts relating to issues arising in a dispute. Comments made in the statement should be limited to fact, and comments based on opinion should be kept to a minimum. The purpose of the witness statement is to provide written evidence to support a party's case that will, if necessary, be used as evidence in court. The statement is a crucial part of the case, designed to show it in its strongest light. It is important, therefore, to ensure that the statement is accurate and comprehensive. Out-Law.com Apparently the Intel Dem is simply attempting to mislead the public by saying this is not evidence, when witness statements are indeed evidence. |

| #2 In the words of the great hippie astronomer Sagan, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. |

| #1 Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger (D-Md.) said politicians never came across evidence indicating the station chief had told his team to "stand down" and abort a rescue mission. He didn't say it didn't happen, but rather "politicians never came across any evidence." ..... at least until three eye witnesses turned up. |
