The never-ending political spat over Benghazi flared up again this week as Republicans made another round of allegations that the Obama administration covered up material facts about the 2012 attack that left four Americans dead. The White House again accused the GOP of waging a partisan witch hunt.
But in a new twist, the traditional partisan battle lines scrambled on Thursday when one House GOP chairman appeared to directly contradict claims by Darrell Issa, the face of the years-long Benghazi investigations, about alleged wrongdoing by then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Earlier this year on Feb. 17, Rep. Issa (R-CA), the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, told Republicans at a New Hampshire fundraiser he suspects Clinton ordered the Defense Department to "stand down" instead of help the Americans whose lives were at risk in the Benghazi attacks.
"I have my suspicions, which is Secretary Clinton told Leon [Panetta] to stand down, and we all heard about the stand-down order for two military personnel. That order is undeniable," said Issa, who went on to hold hearings on the matter as Democrats angrily accused him of lobbying unsubstantiated allegations.
On Thursday, House Armed Services Committee Chairman Buck McKeon (R-CA) released a statement that contradicted Issa's insinuation and instead suggested Clinton's State Department responded quickly to the attacks.

So it was an attack? There would have not been an attack if Ambassador Stevens was not there. How did the attackers have enough notice to organize an attack? It was an organized attack after all. President Obama to blame for that too? No? You really want all the answers?

Somehow this little partisan rag has the first news release of the investigation committee. Listen to what the guy on the bench says. Listen carefully. More later.

And this is exactly the point. Republicans really want to damage national security? Fine, do it. But they are going to at least get the story straight.

Seems like they're fighting in the schoolyard again!
And the attacks on Issa's witch hunt continue from his own party.I appreciate the service of Brigadier General Robert Lovell and his willingness to testify. He confirmed what my committee has understood for some time, that the military never believed this was a protest gone bad, and that the President fundamentally failed to posture our forces respond to any emergency in the weeks before 9/11.
"Beyond those confirmations, BG Lovell did not serve in a capacity that gave him reliable insight into operational options available to commanders during the attack, nor did he offer specific courses of action not taken. The Armed Services Committee has interviewed more than a dozen witnesses in the operational chain of command that night, yielding thousands of pages of transcripts, e-mails, and other documents. We have no evidence that Department of State officials delayed the decision to deploy what few resources DoD had available to respond.
The never-ending political spat over Benghazi flared up again this week as Republicans made another round of allegations that the Obama administration covered up material facts about the 2012 attack that left four Americans dead. The White House again accused the GOP of waging a partisan witch hunt.

It would appear someone knows more that others. Save me some typing here and please inform the others of the rest of the story.

In response to the bolded...
Then why weren't the FAST teams deployed directly to Benghazi instead of being sent to Tripoli? Hmm? It took them a full 24 hours to prepare, by then it was too late to save the lives of those four men.
I rewatched the hearing, and it was interesting that at the very end, as Jason Chaffetz was questioning AFRICOM General Lovell; he said that these teams were ordered to change into civilian clothing. These men are supposed to be in uniform while in combat or rescue operations. But as Lovell put it, "I don't want to see that happen again."
So, if an order came in to switch out of uniform, then who the hell sent them to Tripoli?!
Did Obama lie about the reason for the attack or not?

Typical democrat. How much typing is required for a yes or no answer? Never mind, you have already answered. You don't have the honesty or integrity to speak the truth, I no longer need to hear you say it. Thanks for volunteering yourself as an example of what I was saying.
