Many Obama and Clinton supporters continually claim that Benghazi wasn’t a scandal and that Americans should just put it to rest.
Unfortunately for these people, it cannot be put to rest when the Obama Administration continues to withhold documents about that horrific terrorist attack.
Had Obama and Clinton not lied about the attacks and deaths of 4 Americans, this wouldn’t still be an issue but since it’s been proven they both lied, people continue to seek the truth.
Judicial Watch has received thousands more documents through a court order that was filed in October of 2014. How many thousands of documents are out there that they still have yet to receive?
Judicial Watch has obtained documents that show State Department officials under Hillary Clinton lied about the 2012 Benghazi attack. It was not, as stated, an escalation of a demonstration against a video but rather a coordinated assault by Islamist terrorists on the US Embassy in Tunis, Tunisia.The State Department’s Diplomatic Security Command Center, or DSCC, produced a memo obtained by the Washington-based government watchdog group entitled, “Emergency Message to U.S. Citizens: Demonstrations.” The DSCC would have known the true nature of the attack since it monitored the situation via drone.
Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton stated that the DSCC “clearly knew in real time that a full-fledged terrorist attack was taking place on September 11 at the U.S. compound in Benghazi, and the American people deserve to be told the truth.”
The lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia on October 16, 2014, (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of State (No. 1:14-cv-01733)).
According to testimony given by Deputy Assistant Secretary Of State Charlene Lamb before the House Oversight Committee on October 10, 2012, the Command Center knew the Benghazi compound was under hostile fire from the moment the attack began. Lamb’s testimony was in direct conflict with initial false claims by the Obama administration that the attack arose from a spontaneous demonstration in response to an Internet video.
“When the attack began,” Lamb testified, “a Diplomatic Security agent working in the Tactical Operations Center immediately activated the Imminent Danger Notification System and made an emergency announcement over the PA. Based on our security protocols, he also alerted the annex U.S. quick reaction security team stationed nearby, the Libyan 17th February Brigade, Embassy Tripoli, and the Diplomatic Security Command Center in Washington. From that point on, I could follow what was happening in almost real-time.”
Despite knowing it was an attack, the State Department, including its security Command Center, continued to falsely tie “demonstrations” to the Benghazi terrorist assault. The State Department’s January 20 document production contains a press release issued by the Diplomatic Security Command Center, on September 12, 2012, that falsely states that “violent demonstrations took place at the U.S. Embassy in Cairo, Egypt, and at the U.S. Special Mission Compound in Benghazi, Libya, resulting in damages in both locations and casualties in Benghazi.”Source:https://www.judicialwatch.org
