And the only person in jail, under the Obama Administration, is a man who shot a very poorly recorded video.

Attorney for Whistleblower: 400 US Missiles Stolen in Benghazi
From Breitbart.com:
On August 12, Joe DiGenova, attorney for one of the Benghazi whistleblowers, told Washington D.C.’s WMAL that one of the reasons people have remained tight-lipped about Benghazi is because 400 U.S. missiles were “diverted to Libya” and ended up being stolen and falling into “the hands of some very ugly people.”
DiGenova represents Benghazi whistleblower Mark Thompson. He told WMAL that he “does not know whether [the missiles] were at the annex, but it is clear the annex was somehow involved in the distribution of those missiles.”
He claimed his information “comes from a former intelligence official who stayed in constant contact with people in the special ops and intelligence community.” He said the biggest concern right now is finding those missiles before they can be put to use. “They are worried, specifically according to these sources, about an attempt to shoot down an airliner,” he claimed.
Is this the unspoken nasty secret surrounding Benghazi and the reason the current administration thinks those four deaths mean nothing? And why they’ll do anything to cover it up and minimize it to their best extent?
Perhaps this paragraph will shed some light:
Months earlier, following then-Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta’s February 7 testimony on Capitol Hill about the Benghazi attacks, Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) suggested that one of the causes behind the terrorist attack “may have been that there was a gun running operation going on in Benghazi, leaving Libya and going to Turkey and [distributing] arms to the [Syrian] rebels.”
As may perhaps my previous posts here and here and here and here.
But no one seems to care.
Which tells me one thing: never work for the federal government. Your death means nothing.

Trey Gowdy: Obama administration HIDING survivors of Benghazi
From the Greta Van Susteren show on Fox:
In an appearance on Fox News’ show ‘On The Record’ with Greta Van Susteren, Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) said the Obama Administration is hiding the survivors of the Sept. 11, 2012 terrorist attack on the US Consulate in Benghazi, Libya. Gowdy also told Greta that the administration is dispersing the survivors to locations around the country, and also changing their names.
“Stop and think what things are most calculated to get at the truth? Talk to people with first-hand knowledge. What creates the appearance and perhaps the reality of a cover-up? Not letting us talk with people who have the most amount of information, dispersing them around the country and changing their names,”
But is this information bleated on every front page of every newspaper in this great nation? On every American TV, internet and radio network?
Of course not. Because such information would damage the wondrous and stupendous Administration of Barack Hussein Obama, and create doubt in the hearts of those who would consider the Next Big Demorat for president, Hillary Rodham Clinton.
A “phony scandal,” ladies and gentlemen? Just why would you go so far out of your way to purposely cover up a so-called “phony scandal,” pray tell?
No, I will not let Benghazi die, damn me to Hell.

More on Benghazi: “CIA running arms smuggling,” and “Dozens of CIA operatives on the ground during Benghazi attack”
1. From the UKTelegraph (and not the American Media Maggots, notedly):
CIA ‘running arms smuggling team in Benghazi when consulate was attacked’
The CIA has been subjecting operatives to monthly polygraph tests in an attempt to suppress details of a US arms smuggling operation in Benghazi that was ongoing when its ambassador was killed by a mob in the city last year, according to reports.
The circumstances of the attack are a subject of deep division in the US with some Congressional leaders pressing for a wide-ranging investigation into suspicions that the government has withheld details of its activities in the Libyan city.
The television network said that a CIA team was working in an annex near the consulate on a project to supply missiles from Libyan armouries to Syrian rebels.
Sources said that more Americans were hurt in the assault spearheaded by suspected Islamic radicals than had been previously reported. CIA chiefs were actively working to ensure the real nature of its operations in the city did not get out.
So only the losses suffered by the State Department in the city had been reported to Congress.
Does this shock and surprise? The State Department — under Hillary Clinton — lying to Congress?
2. Exclusive: Dozens of CIA operatives on the ground during Benghazi attack
From CNN’s Jake Tapper:
CNN has uncovered exclusive new information about what is allegedly happening at the CIA, in the wake of the deadly Benghazi terror attack.
Four Americans, including Ambassador Christopher Stevens, were killed in the assault by armed militants last September 11 in eastern Libya.
Sources now tell CNN dozens of people working for the CIA were on the ground that night, and that the agency is going to great lengths to make sure whatever it was doing, remains a secret.
CNN has learned the CIA is involved in what one source calls an unprecedented attempt to keep the spy agency’s Benghazi secrets from ever leaking out.
Since January, some CIA operatives involved in the agency’s missions in Libya, have been subjected to frequent, even monthly polygraph examinations, according to a source with deep inside knowledge of the agency’s workings.
The goal of the questioning, according to sources, is to find out if anyone is talking to the media or Congress.
It is being described as pure intimidation, with the threat that any unauthorized CIA employee who leaks information could face the end of his or her career.
So: more clandestine gun-running on behalf of the loving, understanding, kinder, gentler, more sensitive and certainly more transparent Obama Administration?
Facts in evidence.
And no, I’m not dropping the topic.

Benghazi: it’s not dead
And I won’t let it die just as the Obama Administration allowed four Americans to die. The Obama Administration purposely wants to forget, and I purposely want to continue to bring Benghazi to light because — surprise of surprises — no has “come to justice” as promised and no one in the Obama Administration has been keelhauled or held responsible. NO. ONE.
Further, here is just precisely what the Obama Administration thinks about those four dead Americans. First, from Jay Carney:
“That is old news,” Carney says, and it’s nothing but “a distraction.” Benghazi, according to Jay Carney, “happened a long time ago.” As in: a few months.
When I think of “a long time ago” I think — as I suspect do most cogent and non-agendic persons — in terms of decades or centuries. Not a few piddling months.
Jay Carney also believes that incidents where loss of American life occurs, and loss of freedom occurs — via the IRS targeting of Conservatives — under Mr Obama’s Administration, they are nothing more than “phony scandals.”
Second, Hillary Clinton also weighed in with another astoundingly-stupid and insensitive remark revealing, once again, her disdain for the American People and her naked arrogance and elitism:
Kudos to both Hillary and Jay for making any number of points for me because, after all, what real difference does it make? But after watching that video again, I think I may best summarize — into terms that Hillary Clinton may understand as coming from her husband — “it makes all the difference in the world, you plotting cunt.” I had even stronger words than that for Clinton and Carney and Obama, but after a third re-write I’ve decided to edit them out. I’ll let the current edition settle for a bit.
But then, this from Susan Katz-Keating:
An Underground Meeting and an Update on Benghazi: “Assets Were in Motion”
I met yesterday with sources on Benghazi. This was quite a feat to arrange. The sources are keenly aware that they must maintain personal security at all times. They only will talk off-grid, and wisely so.
After much old-school communication that evoked my Cold War sensibilities, we settled on an underground locale. I mean “underground” as in, “secret.” We did not burrow into a cave. But we definitely were off-grid.
For obvious reasons, I can’t reveal the sources’ identities. Instead, I’ll call them Alpha and Bravo. One spoke while the other stood lookout. Yes, they are that vigilant.
On the subject of Benghazi, Alpha and Bravo speak and act from direct knowledge. Here’s what they told me.
We all have read the mixed reports about rescue or reinforcement efforts to help fight off the Benghazi attack. Many reports revolve around the U.S. air base at Aviano, Italy, and whether jets could have been scrambled from there to assist.
According to Alpha and Bravo, though, those reports are something of a rabbit hole.
“You can talk about Aviano all day,” Alpha said. “You can argue and debate. But that’s a diversionary conversation. It will take you so far off field you’d need breadcrumbs to find your way back.
“The conversation you want to have is centered on Tripoli.”
I asked him to elaborate.
“American assets tried to come in.”
I asked if he were talking about the two brave former SEALs, Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods, who died while fighting off an overwhelming opposing force.
“No. Additional assets. They were available and on hand and ready to head in.”
How did they plan to arrive?
Who Gave the Order, and Why?
“From Tripoli,” Alpha said. He leaned in close, both to emphasize and further protect his words. “Assets were in motion. They had men. They had a plane.”
In case I hadn’t understood the first time, he repeated:
“Assets were in motion.”
As in, en route?
“The plane was on the runway.”
What happened?
“They were told to stop.”
Bravo jerked his head back slightly, and nodded before resuming lookout.
Why did the assets abort their mission?
“Someone gave the order to stand down.”
I asked him to repeat himself, for clarity.
“You heard me,” Bravo said. “Someone gave the order to stand down.”
Who gave the order?
“That’s something you’ll need to chase down in Washington,” Alpha said. “It didn’t originate outof Libya. More importantly, it did not come from the military.”
Where did it come from?
“Check the chain of command. Trace it up to the top. Proceed from there.”
At which point, my two sources split off, and independently returned in their own ways to the grid. And left me wondering: Who gave the order, and why?
Good question: who gave the order, and why?
Stay tuned.
