Benghazi: The Evidence

The Benghazi hearings were held this week and exposed what we all knew: the Obama Administration has lied since the get-go. There were two things that I would like to post. The first is the report that the House released entitled "INTERIM PROGRESS REPORT for the Members of the House Republican Conference on the Events Surrounding the September 11, 2012 Terrorist Attacks in Benghazi, Libya."

The Executive Summary states:

• Reductions of security levels prior to the attacks in Benghazi were approved at thehighest levels of the State Department, up to and including Secretary Clinton. Thisfact contradicts her testimony before the House Foreign Affairs Committee onJanuary 23, 2013.
  

•  In the days following the attacks, White House and senior State Departmentofficials altered accurate talking points drafted by the Intelligence Community in order to protect the State Department.
  

•  Contrary to Administration rhetoric, the talking points were not edited to protect classified information. Concern for classified information is never mentioned in email traffic among senior Administration officials

If you are a visual person, Doug Ross has painstakingly laid out the Benghazi incident in a timeline.

Ross used this come up with four conclusions:

a) Hillary Clinton lied under oath to Congress.
b) Barack Obama went to sleep knowing that a U.S. Ambassador and other Americans were under terrorist attack.
c) Barack Obama awoke refreshed the next day to begin fundraising.
d) The entire Executive Branch lied repeatedly to the American people to save Obama's chances for reelection.

Agreed.
