So there was no Benghazi scandal?

[Impenitent]

It was 2973 deaths short of a scandal.

You should know not to believe anything from the FOX Gossip Channel.

Lawmakers get first look at Benghazi attack video - CBS News

Intercepted cell phone calls and text messages from that night indicate that some of those who attacked the consulate were inspired in part by televised scenes of protesters storming the American embassy in Cairo, enraged over an anti-Muslim video running on the internet. Others seemed to have nothing more in mind than looting.

No demonstrations. No spontaneous protest. From your link:

A U.S. intelligence official said the first video shows no sign the assault arose -- as first thought -- out of a demonstration. But it also indicates the attack, though intentional, was not well planned.

Lawmakers get first look at Benghazi attack video - CBS News

The problem with the video from inside the compound is there were cameras that were never hooked up, and more importantly, the camera that would have shot the protests at the main gate was not working. So the classified video is practically worthless.

Surveillance cameras were still in boxes at Benghazi mission | Center for Public Integrity

The attack unfolded quickly, but it was a surprise to those inside partly because an additional set of surveillance cameras “remained in boxes uninstalled” and a camera in the guard booth at the main gate “was inoperable on the day of the attacks, a repair which also awaited the arrival of a technical team.”

Hmmm....that's interesting considering how tense things were around the area. Seems a motivated administration would have put somebody on securing everything immediately instead of waiting around for the Geek Squad to come over and hook up a couple of cameras. If the place wasn't secure, why did they have Stephens in there?

So there was no Benghazi scandal?

Correct.

There was no ‘scandal’ concerning Benghazi as perceived and contrived by the partisan right, where the president committed some sort of ‘crime’ and further violated the law by ordering a ‘cover up’ that would lead to his impeachment and being convicted of the charges in the Senate.

So no, in this context there was no Benghazi ‘scandal.’

Why do you guys even waste your time with this nonsense? So let me see how this all went down...

For a year now the "mastermind" of the Benghazi attacks has been evading capture by concealing himself in a top secret hideout as the dogged FBI investigation led by the intrepid Eric Holder left no stone unturned to find him?

Ah...not so much! He's been "hiding" at his house in Benghazi giving interviews to the press. Yeah, couldn't find THAT guy!!! Had to spend a YEAR to track HIM down!!! I don't know what's more pathetic...the Obama Administration's "investigation" or you board liberals buying this story hook, line and sinker!

What I am still trying to figure out is how there is a "mastermind" behind a mob uprising over a video....???

 

[Oldstyle]

Have some self respect, people! What kind of an idiot would you have to be to buy THAT story coming from an Administration that has proven repeatedly that they are willing to make up things to protect their asses?

These guys may not have invented "wag the dog" but they employ it like they did! The Bowe Bergdahl trade was to distract the media from the VA scandal. This Benghazi "arrest" is to distract the media from the debacle in Iraq.

I'm trying to figure out why it took a year plus for Eric Holder's Justice Department to arrest this guy? It's not like he's gone to ground! One of the networks was interviewing him in a cafe drinking strawberry fucking frappes a few days after it happened! And after all this time the ONLY person they could find was "Frappe Man"? Seriously?

try and figure out how American Special Forces waltz into Libya and waltz out with a thug that's being protected by the Government .... then try and figure how to get your head out of your butt.

I hate to point out the obvious here, Carbineer but the only thing that has "contained" the Benghazi scandal is that it has to compete for attention with all the OTHER scandals and policy gaffes that the Obama Administration has saddled us with! It's hard to keep track of one scandal with this White House because there are so many OTHERS!

Shitbag.....you SOBs said it was a random riot that got out of hand, when the entire time it was a TERRORIST attack according to the CIA and DoD from the start.

Obama and his goons made up the video angle to downplay the "terrorist attack."

So the Islamic terrorist who was captured this week by the USA said they attacked the US Embassy in Benghazi because of the blasphemous Islamic video...
..exactly what was first reported.

...and Susan Rice reported the truth? And the entire GOP has been wrong (AGAIN) throughout multiple investigations..?

So the GOP has wasted thousands of dollars and months of time that could have been used actually legislating..?


wow,,they must feel really incompetent

Seems like we've heard this cover up conspiracy theory over and over again, but it never makes any sense. How would this so called cover story cover anything? John McCain and other GOP lawmakers seemed far more concerned with this point than they ever were in knowing about the attack itself. During the sham Benghazi hearings Senators questions were frequently answered with "We can discuss this in closed session".......ever wonder what they were talking about?

 

[1776]

Uh idiot, Obama and his goons threw out the lie about a random video riot in order to cover up their failures at stopping terrorism post-UBL.

Telling everyone that Benghazi was just some "lucky" attack by rioters was supposed to make the Ambassador and 3 spec ops guys "less dead" to the American public.

If a troop of Islamic girl scouts stormed the compound and killed 4 Americans, you idiots would spin that as "not terrorism."

No that is the Straw Man the Right created. Eye witness testimony stated that a protest over the video at the consulate was infiltrated by militant terrorists. The attack on the annex 4 hours later was a terrorist attack from the start. There were 2 different attacks 4 hours apart, the Right tries to conflate the two in order to politicize the deaths of 4 Americans.

Here is how the consulate attack was reported, not the annex attack.

Libya consulate attack came after militants joined protesters, say witnesses, officials - The Washington Post

At least an hour before the assault began, a stream of cars was seen moving toward the U.S. Consulate in the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi. By late Tuesday evening, as many as 50 heavily armed militants had gathered outside its high walls.
They joined protesters outside the consulate who were demonstrating against an American movie that they believed denigrated the prophet Muhammad. But according to one witness, the new arrivals neither chanted slogans nor carried banners.
“They said, ‘We are Muslims defending the prophet. We are defending Islam,’ ” Libyan television journalist Firas Abdelhakim said in an interview.

Stevens, who had spent many years in Libya, had arrived Monday from the embassy in Tripoli for a week of routine meetings. A friend who spent Monday and Tuesday with him said Stevens held meetings with nongovernmental organizations and militia leaders on both days. When the friend dropped Stevens off at the consulate Tuesday afternoon, he said, nothing appeared to be amiss — beyond the protesters.

The first protesters had showed up around noon. Wanis al-Sharif, the deputy Libyan interior minister, said in an interview that the demonstrators were angered by a low-budget American film that portrayed the prophet Muhammad in a blasphemous manner. As the day wore on, Sharif said, the anger escalated and people with weapons infiltrated the crowd.

 

[1776]

ASSWIPE.....you scumbags claimed "terrorists" were not involved.

It doesn't matter if the terrorists were mad about you sucking your boyfriend's cock, a video, rap music, etc......Obama claimed "terrorism was dead post-UBL" and a "riot by movie critics killed 4 Americans."

Let's finish this bullshit for once and point out all the fucking mistakes by Obama and his goons:

1) Obama put the Ambassador and other Americans in a risky position by sending them to a terrorist haven like Libya with bad security.

2) Obama's people pulled out the DoD security team in late summer despite the Ambassador demanding they stay.

3) Other countries pulled out their embassy staffs but Obama's people being idiots kept the US staff there to be killed on 9-11.

4) There was no contingency plan in Libya or at USAFRICOM for "9-11," 9-11 is just a random date on the calendar to liberals.

5) Obama claimed AQ was losing because UBL was dead, when in fact AQ and other Islamic terrorists have grown stronger ever since Obama stole the White House.

6) Obama and his goons downplayed the "terrorist attack" angle with the movie riot lie to cover up their failures to protect 4 Americans and to eliminate terrorism.....in order to win the election.

Is it possible that some folks in government, like at the State Department and White House, read the Washington Post on the day after the 9/11 attack in Benghazi and noticed the part about the suspect claiming to have been influenced by the video that was also causing the organizing and implementations of demonstrations all across the Muslim world at dozens of western and USA Embassies? Maybe that is why some of them thought the attack had something to do with a video. Just an off hand speculation or wild guess.

 

[1776]

Uh, DoS and CIA people on the ground said it was an orchestrated "terrorist" attack, idiot. USAFRICOM said it was a terrorist attack that night.

If the White House relies on left-wing newspapers for what happened then that would explain how everything is fucked up. The reality is someone in the WH leaks "the story" to your left-wing hack media overnight to get the word out to build the lie.

If that is what you believe, then you should be locked in a rubber room for being dumb as shit.
