Parents of 2 Benghazi Victims Suing Hillary Clinton For Wrongful Death, Defamation

Hillary Clinton just may be held accountable for her role in the Benghazi attacks after all!

Fox News reported

The parents of two of the four Americans who died in the Benghazi attack in 2012 filed a lawsuit Monday against Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, alleging her "reckless handling" of classified information contributed to their deaths. 

The case was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia by Larry Klayman of Freedom Watch USA on behalf of Patricia Smith, the mother of Sean Smith, and Charles Woods, the father of Tyrone Woods, for allegedly wrongfully causing the death of their sons as well as for defamation and intentional and negligent infliction of emotional distress. 

The lawsuit suggests that Clinton's use of a private email server contributed to the deaths of Smith and Woods, adding that terrorists were able to "obtain the whereabouts of Ambassador Christopher Stevens and thus the U.S. State Department and covert and other government operations in Benghazi, Libya and subsequently orchestrate, plan, and execute the now infamous September 11, 2012 attack."

Sharyl Attikisson To Testify At Senate Attorney General Confirmation Hearings

The Senate hearings for the confirmation of Loretta Lynch for U.S. Attorney General will be getting a lot more interesting this week.

The Daily Signal reported:

Former CBS reporter and Daily Signal senior independent contributor Sharyl Attkisson will testify at this week’s confirmation hearings for Loretta Lynch, who was nominated by President Obama to replace Eric Holder as U.S. Attorney General. 

Attkisson, who was invited to speak on a panel of witnesses by the Senate Judiciary Committee led by Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, will address issues concerning freedom of the press. 

Attkisson has been highly critical of the Justice Department in her investigative reporting of Operation Fast and Furious and the Benghazi terrorist attacks. 

While covering these events, Attkisson alleges that the Justice Department illegally monitored her phone and computer.

Attkisson is suing the Justice Department (run by Eric Holder) for $35 million for tapping into her phone and computer.

13th Anniversary of 9/11

13 years ago, our country was attacked in New York City, Washington, D.C and in the skies over Pennsylvania.

Two years ago, the Obama Administration failed to put all U.S, embassies and other American facilities on high alert. The result was Benghazi, where the U.S. ambassador to Libya and two of his security detail members were killed. The Obama Administration still hasn't come clean on this tragedy.

Hopefully, all will be on high alert on this anniversary so that a repeat of Benghazi won't happen again.

But we won't forget.

White House Advisor Urged Rice To Blame Benghazi Attack On Video To Protect Obama

Judicial Watch obtained White House emails showing that senior staffers put out the false story that the Benghazi attack that led to the death of the U.S. ambassador to Libya was due to a video. They knew it was a terrorist attack but wanted to protect President Obama's re-election.

Newsmax reported:

An email obtained by the government watchdog Judicial Watch shows that a senior White House official advised then-National Security Adviser Susan Rice to blame a spontaneous protest from a YouTube video for the 2012 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, Fox News reported.

Fox's chief intelligence correspondent Catherine Herridge reported that the Sept. 14, 2012, email shows that White House Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes advised Rice to focus on a YouTube video as the cause of a spontaneous protest, though transcripts have since been revealed to show that senior defense officials had informed the administration on the night of the event that the assault was a terrorist attack.

These staffers should be fired, if they haven't been already. If not, Obama should be impeached for lying to the public. Richard Nixon was crucified for far less.

This does not look good for Hillary Clinton either as she also stuck to the Administration's false story and lied to the American people.

Benghazi aside...

Christie Gets The Proctocope While Obama Gets A Pass By Media

"Now That Christie Is Denying Everything He Sounds Even More Presidential!" - Jay Leno

I am not a fan of New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, but it appears that Jay Leno has a point. Christie seems to be taking a page from President Obama's playbook.

President Obama has denied knowledge about every scandal that has hit his administration. Benghazi, the IRS, NSA spying on Americans, Fast & Furious and so on. Thus far, the media has been going after Christie over a matter that is like "jaywalking" (according to the Wall Street Journal) in comparison to the electronic spying of Americans' phone calls while giving Obama a pass on all of his (and Hillary Clinton's) scandals.

It is plausible that Christie was deceived and didn't know about the bridge closure. Yet the media is going after him with a proctoscope because he is not a Democrat.

It's the usual double-standard by the liberal media. Go after Republicans with gusto and ignore Democrat shenanigans.

Well, there's one good thing, at least. The Amazon Kindle ebook ad for The Monster Movie Fan's Guide To Japan is appearing at The Drudge Report and in other news websites during a time of high traffic (no pun intended).

Caroline Kennedy Japan Ambassadorship Nomination: "Anata ga shitte iru."

Above, the National Diet Building, Japan's Capitol building.  Photo by Armand Vaquer.

President Barack Obama has not very well distinguished himself in the field of foreign policy (well, he hasn't distinguished himself in domestic policy either). He has made a mess out of Libya (Benghazi is a prime case in point), exited Iraq too quickly and leaving it in a mess and plans on doing the same thing in Afghanistan. Screw-ups in Egypt and Syria. The list goes on and on.

His nomination of Caroline Kennedy is another potential Obama screw up. In The Japan News, David Rothkopf, CEO and editor-at-large of Foreign Policy, writes:

Early in 2008, back in the days when Barack Obama was hardly a shoo-in to be the Democratic nominee for president, Kennedy penned a piece for The New York Times called “A President Like My Father.” In it, she described Obama as a man who could inspire a new generation of Americans as her father, President John F. Kennedy, had inspired a previous generation. It provided Obama with a big boost and, along with the support he received from Sen. Edward Kennedy, gave the candidate the imprimatur of the political-celebrity wing of the Democratic establishment--a leg up in his tight race against then-Sen. Hillary Clinton. 

Other than writing this op-ed, Kennedy has not the slightest hint of a qualification to be ambassador to Japan. Trained as a lawyer, she has led a worthy life of dedication to family charities, other nonprofit organizations and writing. But she has no particular experience with Japan, no experience with diplomacy or foreign affairs, and no government experience. Hers is a nomination that reflects more on the president’s views toward the diplomatic service and by extension the entire Department of State than it does on anything she has ever done or shown interest in doing. It also by extension illustrates the ever-growing centrality of the White House and more importantly the president himself to the conduct of U.S. international relations.

Japan is too important to have the United States represented by such a novice. As I mentioned in an earlier blog post on the Kennedy nomination, I know of several G-fans who are more qualified than Kennedy is and with much more Japan experience.

When she wanted to be considered for an appointment to Hillary Clinton's U.S. Senate seat from New York, Kennedy stumbled with her inarticulate speaking that was peppered with "you knows" throughout.

Well, if she does get confirmed as U.S. Ambassador to Japan, she can start learning to say "you know" in Japanese. It is, "Anata ga shitte iru."*

Obama Now Has A Third Scandal

It seems like 1973 all over again when the Watergate scandal broke and the Nixon Administration circled the wagons.

The Obama Administration is now embroiled in a new scandal.  It is number three on the "Scandal Hit Parade."

From Fox News:

The Justice Department secretly obtained two months of telephone records of reporters and editors for The Associated Press in what the news cooperative's top executive called a "massive and unprecedented intrusion" into how news organizations gather the news.

This, plus the Benghazi-gate and the Internal Revenue Service targeting conservative group scandals have shown what a lawless administration this is that being run by moronic and incompetent totalitarians.  The Administration lied and covered up the truth behind the Islamic attacks in Benghazi that led to the deaths of the ambassador to Libya and others and the IRS violated the first amendment rights of conservative organizations and the law with their illegal probing.  You can't tell me some low-level IRS employees were solely involved in this.  Someone high up in the chain of command had to have signed off on it.

As for the new Associated Press scandal, it is high time Attorney General Eric Holder vacated his office.

It is time for Congress to step up and thoroughly investigate and prosecute.

I Like U-T San Diego's Ads!

Tonight, was reading the headlines over at the Drudge Report and a story on the families of the slain Benghazi Navy Seals caught my attention.

The headline was a link to the UT San Diego News website.  UT stands for Union-Tribune, one of San Diego's leading newspapers.

When I got there, I saw this:

Washington Post and Wall St. Journal Blast Obama Over Benghazi

The Weekly Standard has an article on the editorials of the Washington Post and The Wall Street Journal  blasting the Obama Administration over the botched handling of the Benghazi attack on September 11, 2012 and the continuing unanswered questions.

They wrote:

The Post notes that what happened in Benghazi “increasingly looks like a major security failure” and argues, “sooner or later the administration must answer questions” about that failure and “the policies that led to it.”  

The Journal argues that the Obama administration has sought to avoid accountability by offering “evasive, inconsistent and conflicting accounts about one of the most serious American overseas defeats in recent years.” The editorial continues: “Unresolved questions about Benghazi loom over this election because the White House has failed to resolve them.” 

Among those unanswered questions: “Why did the U.S. not heed warnings about a growing Islamist presence in Benghazi and better protect the diplomatic mission and CIA annex?” And: “What exactly happened on the day of 9/11? During the over six hours that the compounds in Benghazi were under siege, could the U.S. have done more to save lives?” And: “What was President Obama doing and ordering his subordinates to do in those fateful hours? Why has the Administration's story about what took place in Benghazi been so haphazard and unclear?” 

These questions, and many others, need answers. The administration has managed to avoid providing them for nearly eight weeks, with a much needed assist from a suddenly lack of curiosity among the truth-seeking journalists at many of America’s most influential news outlets. Perhaps after the election that curiosity will return.

This alone is enough for voters to deny a second term for Barack Obama.

Classified Cable Tells of Emergency Meeting In Benghazi One Month Before Attack

The Obama Administration's claim that the 9/11 attack on the Benghazi consulate came "without warning," an emergency meeting conducted a month before undercuts those claims.

The key passages by Catherine Herridge in Greta Van Susteren's website at Fox News include:

The U.S. Mission in Benghazi convened an “emergency meeting” less than a month before the assault that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans, because Al Qaeda had training camps in Benghazi and the consulate could not defend against a “coordinated attack,” according to a classified cable reviewed by Fox News. 

Summarizing an Aug. 15 emergency meeting convened by the U.S. Mission in Benghazi, the Aug. 16 cable marked “SECRET” said that the State Department’s senior security officer, also known as the RSO, did not believe the consulate could be protected.

 According to a review of the cable addressed to the Office of the Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the Emergency Action Committee was also briefed “on the location of approximately ten Islamist militias and AQ training camps within Benghazi … these groups ran the spectrum from Islamist militias, such as the QRF Brigade and Ansar al-Sharia, to ‘Takfirist thugs.’” Each U.S. mission has a so-called Emergency Action Committee that is responsible for security measures and emergency planning.

While the administration’s public statements have suggested that the attack came without warning, the Aug. 16 cable seems to undercut those claims. It was a direct warning to the State Department that the Benghazi consulate was vulnerable to attack, that it could not be defended and that the presence of anti-U.S. militias and Al Qaeda was well-known to the U.S. intelligence community.

Despite the above, the Obama Administration did nothing to beef up security for the consulate in Benghazi, especially for the anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack.  Heightened security and alerts for all consulates in the Middle East should have been automatically done.

Revenge of the Clintons: Hillary Throws Obama Under The Bus

The cover-up of the tragedy in Benghazi is unraveling even further.

It has been revealed that Secretary Hillary Clinton requested more security for the consulate in Benghazi, but it was turned down by President Obama.

Fox Nation reports:

Last night, it was revealed that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had ordered more security at the U.S. mission in Benghazi before it was attacked where four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens were murdered by Al-Qaeda but President Obama denied the request.

Former President Bill Clinton has been urging his wife to release State Department documents to prove she requested additional security.  He wants Hillary to run for president in 2016, but if Obama hangs this scandal around her neck, it would thwart those efforts.  Bill wants to make sure that people know his wife is blameless.

Obama Doesn't Deserve Re-election, He Deserves To Be Removed From Office

Emails obtained by Fox News and other news outlets show that the Obama Administration had the information showing that the attacks on the Benghazi consulate were terrorist-related (with no protest over a video involved) and with the identity of the group claiming responsibility within 2 hours but did nothing about it.  The attack was about five (5) hours long.

There are only two possibilities here.

1.  Incompetence.  Either Obama wasn't given the full information or was told but did nothing.

2.  Lies.  Obama knew and lied to the American people for five days and blamed a protest over a YouTube video for political purposes.

In either case, he does not deserve re-election.  He deserves to be removed from office.

More Evidence That Obama Administration Lied About Benghazi

New documents show that it was determined by the CIA in Benghazi knew within 24 hours that the attack on the embassy was by militants and not from any protest of an anti-Islam video.

According to MyWay.com:

WASHINGTON (AP) - The CIA station chief in Libya reported to Washington within 24 hours of last month's deadly attack on the U.S. Consulate that there was evidence it was carried out by militants, not a spontaneous mob upset about an American-made video ridiculing Islam's Prophet Muhammad, U.S. officials have told The Associated Press.

It is unclear who, if anyone, saw the cable outside the CIA at that point and how high up in the agency the information went. The Obama administration maintained publicly for a week that the attack on the diplomatic mission in Benghazi that killed U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans was a result of the mobs that staged less-deadly protests across the Muslim world around the 11th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks on the U.S.

The Obama Administration knew (as the CIA and State Department are under the executive branch) the real cause of the attack, yet lied to the public that it was over an anti-Islam YouTube video.

Plus, requests were made by the consulate for additional security but were turned down by the State Department.

Benghazi-gate Cover-up

The Obama Administration has not been forthcoming with the truth on the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya which resulted in the murder of  U.S. Ambassador John Christopher Stevens and three security personnel.

For weeks, the Obama Administration has been blaming the attack on a dumb YouTube anti-Islam video.  They claimed that it was "spontaneous" so that their glaring failure to beef up security at our embassies on September 11.

Fox News reports:

Fresh claims that U.S. intelligence officials knew practically from the start that the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi was terrorism possibly tied to Al Qaeda have lawmakers alleging they were misled and questioning whether the administration has something to hide.

"This is turning into something not short of Benghazi-gate," Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., told Fox News, adding he's "very suspicious" about the way the administration has handled this.

Two senior U.S. officials told Fox News on Thursday that U.S. intelligence officials knew within 24 hours of the assault that it was a terrorist attack and suspected Al Qaeda-tied elements were involved.

The account sharply conflicted with claims by U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice on the Sunday after the attack that the administration believed the strike was a "spontaneous" event triggered by protests in Egypt over an anti-Islam film.

The story was fishy from the start.  First, it was claimed that protesters got out of hand and attacked the "safe house" the ambasssador was at.  Since when do "protesters" bring rocket launchers to a protest?  Then, it was claimed that the protest was "spontaneous" over an amateur video attacking Islam.  But the video has been on YouTube since July.  They just decided to "protest" on the 11th anniversary of the attacks in New York and the Pentagon?  Not likely.

To be blunt, Obama and Susan Rice lied!

The Administration dropped the ball in not heightening security at our embassies for the anniversary of 9/11.  Obama is more interested in the election campaign than doing his job.  It is obvious that Obama and his administration are engaged in a cover-up!

Obama wanted this to be a spontaneous incident, but the facts show that his foreign policy of appeasement is a failure.

Anybody who votes to re-elect Obama would have to be a total idiot!
