BREAKING: Smoking Gun Surfaces, PROVES Hillary Clinton Broke Federal Law!
2016-08-02
[Political Insider] Julian Assange and Wikileaks are about to drop the biggest bomb yet on Hillary Clinton. Assange is confirming that he has details that shows Clinton knew the US was sending military arms from Libya to Syria in 2011, a full year before the terrorist attack in Benghazi.

This means Hillary Clinton was heavily involved in the arming of jihadists, including ISIS.

However, in sworn testimony before Congress, Clinton lied and claimed she didn't have this information. This hearing took place in 2013:
Interesting I suppose, but I'm not sure what difference if any it will make. They clearly own the legal system.

#15  Still don't believe that the attacking mortar crews were anything but 'professional'.

Remember reading that the first volleys were on target. No 'ranging' shots.

Also read that they were staged pretty close to the consulate, so a pretty arc. Some math required.

#14  I think The 'Burg had 2Fast2Furious gun running from the get go, question was who?

My default has been Syria/Iran/Russia axis, in that order, as at the time there was the Big Pitch to arm McCain's Heroes to topple Assad and hoist another Mo Bro into power as well as put pressure on Israel.

I think that they new about the International Day of Rage and Death to America! Bake Sale, and figured something(s) may happen, so the main press push would be the video. Once they pushed that rock, it rolls till it stops.

So when it became apparent to people who don't get their news from a dog's ass that this was a hit, and the administration starting throwing more chaff, I started thinking this was no I Hate Americans hit.

I mean, we are on the ol' campaign trail here. Kind of awkward to waddle about Vegas Baby! lookin' the part if, theoretically, Syria hired some local hard boyz to snatch the Ambassador et al to trace the rocket walking across the Team Not Assad exchange routes - and retaliating against Assad would spark open conflict with Russia and Iran so what do you do? Can't do that, Russia is busy straw purchasing uranium for Iran, why old bean that is bad for business.

So you do nothing except hope everyone dies quickly and quietly, obstruct the rescue, no air support, and have more lies than a golf tournament.

Just my thoughts, and open to new info.

#13  Grom,

Yeah, you are right simple incompetence and intellectual arrogance does more harm than malice...

I wish I could remember which of his books Heinlein said that.

#12  not sure if this is true, but, to this day it is not clear why the US kept the Benghazi consulate open after other nations had closed theirs and also to this day it is not clear why the Ambassador was in Benghazi

the reason the consulate security was minimal is presumed to be because increasing security would make the locals suspect that the CIA operation there was actually a CIA operation but there is no explanation of why a contingency security augment was never developed (or whether it was developed and not initiated)

we will not find out answers to these

#11  SPOD never invoke malice when simple incompetence will suffice.

#10  This was common knowledge just after the Ambassador was killed. It was reported for a few days on Fox that Stevens was running guns to Syria and one or more rebel groups was displeased. IIRC, Stevens was withholding weapons from the same group that attacked the Benghazi post. He ran the guns from Benghazi.
Since it was previously was reported on the news, I imagine that Clinton will skate by again.

#9  And that is what got Stephens killed.

He wasn't supposed to find out and he stuck his nose in it and so he became "inconvenient" to the administration. The Benghazi attack was just too convenient to have not been orchestrated by someone who didn't want their little gig with arms to Syria upset...me thinks someone high on an org chart at State

#6  Like this will produce the iron bracelets for her. MSM and all of government are in the tank.

#5  The perception here in flyover land is that Washington currently is as crooked as a dog's hind leg. Posted by JohnQC Yeah, I remember that is all the D's talked about in Afghanistan and Iraq...counter-corruption, counter-corruption...Iraqis and Afghanis don't trust their government...kind of ironic isn't it. The vaunted FBI was sent over to investigate corruption, failed, got scared and returned home...only to discover they aren't really good at investigating corruption in our government at home either.

#3  So there was a "Fast and Furious" operation going on in Libya and Syria? That possibility appeared on Rantburg right after Benghazi. After the email disaster and hall pass given by the DOJ and Comey, I'm not optimistic. The most that might come of it is a perjury charge down the line sometime in 2018 or never. What are they going to do; impeach her after she gets elected? Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't mind that. There is the Clinton Foundation and the election rigging in the primaries. The email thing might come back in the DOS. I think the DOJ is completely compromised and has little to do with justice. The perception here in flyover land is that Washington currently is as crooked as a dog's hind leg.

#2  We all already know that the MSM is in the tank for HC so, to quote her royale highnass, what difference, at this point, does it really make?

The bar for her has been set so high-- or low, depending on your POV-- that it would probably take video of her referring to BLM as a bunch of "stupid n****rs" for her presidential ambitions to experience a real setback; and even then she would probably still win.

#1  All depends on what her intentions were at the time. At least according to The FBI.
