Benghazi Research

The Benghazi Coverup is all about the Obama adminstration delivering weapons to anti-Assad (Israeli/US/British sponsored) rebels in Syrian regime change war. Hillary Clinton is at the center of this. Benghazi operation is directly linked to Seal Team Six through Hillary Clinton

  Judicial Watch, the team of patriotic American lawyers hellbent on getting at the truth, have just obtained DOJ documents that prove senior Obama White House and Clinton State Department officials scrambled to “evolve” their public claims about Benghazi and “joked” about being called “liars” and “lying masterminds“.

  Judicial Watch announced that the Department of Justice (DOJ) released 80 pages of records that show top Obama White House officials scrambling to “evolve” their claims that the September 11, 2012, terrorist attacks on U.S. Government facilities in Benghazi, Libya, began “spontaneously” in response to an anti-Muslim video on the Internet.

  The emails show top Obama White House official Ben Rhodes and Clinton State Department Deputy Chief of Staff Jake Sullivan joking about being called “liars” and “leakers.”

  According to Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton,“Joking about being called ‘liars’ after being caught lying about the Benghazi terrorist attack says a lot about the Obama-Clinton team’s contempt for the rule of law and those four innocent Americans murdered in Libya September 11, 2012.”

  Judicial Watch report: The records were produced in response to a Judicial Watch 2016 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Justice  (No. 1:16-cv-02046)). Judicial Watch filed the lawsuit after the Justice Department failed to comply with a July 7, 2016, FOIA request for records of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s investigation of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server during her tenure.

  On September 16, 2012, then-U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice appeared on five Sunday television talk shows claiming the Benghazi attack was incited spontaneously by an anti-Muslim Internet video. The newly released records show a redacted official’s email from September 27 to then-Deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes and then-NSC spokesman Tommy Vietor, copying then-Deputy Chief of Staff Jake Sullivan, saying, “What’s the plan here?” Rhodes responds:

  Broader plan is IC [intelligence community] acknowledgement of an evolving assessment of what took place, which happens to be true (unlike just about everything else we’ve seen reported on Benghazi.)

  Further along in the email thread, an official whose name is redacted, says, “Everyone know [sic] Susan [in her TV appearances] was using not just IC approved guidance, but IC created.”

  Additionally, Rhodes says to Sullivan and other redacted officials:

  “At least you’re only a liar. Could be worse – we’re liars and also allegedly leakers. So you’ve got that going for you, which is something.“

  Sullivan replies: “We’re only lying footsoldiers [sic]. You’re lying masterminds. That’s cooler.”

  A redacted official replies to Sullivan: “I prefer that we go by henchmen. Has more of a Marvel comic sinisterness to it. There should be a cable show where all the guests, and the anchor, have to wear polygraphs. Or, when there’s a dispute between source, the aggrieved parties take a poly, with some neutral third party rendering judgment. The Biggest Liar.”

  Rhodes says to Sullivan: “I’d like to go on television and tell everybody what I think…. Look at it this way. I[t] could be worse. You could be a career bureaucrat whose greatest thrill in life is leaking half-truths, self-justifications and outright lies to the likes of Eli Lake, Kim Dozier, and whoever picks up the phone at Fox News.”

  Judicial Watch previously uncovered that on September 14 Rhodes and other Obama administration officials were attempting to orchestrate a campaign to “reinforce” President Obama and to portray the Benghazi consulate terrorist attack as being “rooted in an Internet video, and not a failure of policy.” Also included were numerous emails sent during the assault on the Benghazi diplomatic facility. The contemporaneous and dramatic emails describe the assault as an “attack:”

  September 11, 2012, 6:41 PM – Senior Advisor Eric Pelofsky, to Susan Rice:
  As reported, the Benghazi compound came under attack and it took a bit of time for the ‘Annex’ colleagues and Libyan February 17 brigade to secure it. One of our colleagues was killed – IMO Sean Smith. Amb Chris Stevens, who was visiting Benghazi this week is missing. U.S. and Libyan colleagues are looking for him…

  At 8:51 pm, Pelofsky tells Rice and others that “Post received a call from a person using an [sic] RSO phone that Chris was given saying the caller was with a person matching Chris’s description at a hospital and that he was alive and well. Of course, if he were alive and well, one could ask why he didn’t make the call himself.”

  Later that evening, Pelofsky emailed Rice that he was “very, very worried. In particular that he [Stevens] is either dead or this was a concerted effort to kidnap him.” Rice replied, “God forbid.”

  The new records show a December 2, 2015, communication from NASA Regional Counterintelligence Director Arthur Payton to the FBI Counterintelligence Division in which Payton returns a review of evidence obtained in the course of the FBI investigation of Clinton’s email server, specifically, a “classification and determination review.” The contents of the classification review and determination were not included among the records released.

  In an April 20, 2016, memorandum from Robert Zanger, of DOJ’s Office of Records Management and Policy, to Peter Strzok memorializing an earlier request by Strzok, Zanger indicates that Strzok had requested that DOJ produce “‘all electronic and transactional records between any @clintonemail.com email account’ and thirty-nine (39) specified DOJ email accounts …’” Strzok also asked the DOJ for a “general, or gateway, search of its [DOJ’s] systems for any other electronic and transactional records involving the identified external e-mail domain [@clintonemail.com].”

  The April 20 memo indicates DOJ complied with the request, saying, “JMD [Justice Management Division] searched for any appearance of the @clintonemail.com domain in the electronic information (including emails and documents) of current and departed named custodians from the components for which JMD maintains electronic information. JMD located a small number of documents, but no email between the @clintonemail.com domain and any named custodian.” The memo notes that JMD had other DOJ components search their records too, and that:

  The Civil Division located nine documents containing the term @clintonemail.com. A review of the content of the nine records by the Civil Division confirmed that the responses were related to the Division’s handling of Freedom of Information Act litigation, not communications between the custodian and the @clintonemail.com domain.

  The memo noted that while it conducted a search of DOJ’s email gateway server for any email between DOJ email accounts and the @clintonemail.com domain, “The server log is maintained for a period of two years. [Emphasis added] JMD performed a search [April 2016] in the JMD-managed Email Gateway Server Log for the @clintonemail.com domain covering the period of 2/3/14 to 2/3/16 and found no email to or from the @clintonemail.com domain. [By the time this search was conducted, and no records were found, Clinton had been out of office as secretary of state since January 2013, a period of three years and three months.]

  In a January 28, 2016, memo from Peter Strzok to the Counterespionage Group at the CIA, Strzok says that – due to a Section 811(c) referral under the Intelligence Authorization Act from the Intelligence Community Inspector General relating to the unauthorized release of classified information – the FBI is requesting a copy of a document, the title of which is redacted. Strzok notes that, “The assessment was provided to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), the National Security Council (NSC) and to the Department of State (DoS) in, or around, October of 2009.”

  In connection with an apparent response to the above “Request for Records,” an FBI memo dated June 27, 2016, indicates that the CIA provided the document sought. The synopsis of the memo reads: “CIA response to FBI LHM [Letterhead Memo] dated January 28, 2016 regarding a document request.” The memo further notes: “[redacted] document attached to CIOL [apparently referring to a Counterintelligence Operations Letter].”

  “Joking about being called ‘liars’ after being caught lying about the Benghazi terrorist attack says a lot about the Obama-Clinton team’s contempt for the rule of law and those four innocent Americans murdered in Libya September 11, 2012,” stated Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.

  “The documents also show that Ben Rhodes, the Obama White House official who created the false story for Susan Rice to use on Benghazi, was planning to orchestrate again an ‘evolving’ explanation about the Benghazi attack by the Intelligence Community in time for then-President Obama’s reelection.”

  Corrupt as all hell.

This was to be fought so that Nazism would be destroyed and the power of Political Zionism increased so that the sovereign state of Israel could be established in Palestine.”  Therefore, the harsh terms imposed by the agents of the Illuminati at the Treaty of Versailles, that ruined Germany financially, were to set the stage for World War II.

• 0bama's actions as President of the United States, which D'Souza had predicted on the basis of his study of 0bama's background, are perfectly consistent with that ideology, however inconsistent it is with the rhetoric that gained him the highest office in the land. </p> <p>SEAL Team Six Book on Osama bin Laden Raid Coming Out 9/11 </p> <p>&quot;No Easy Day: The Firsthand Account of the Mission that Killed Osama Bin Laden&quot; </p> <p>Navy Times -- A member of the U.S. Navy SEAL team that killed Osama bin Laden has written a firsthand account of the operation, triggering more questions about the possible public release of classified information involving the historic assault of the terror leader's compound in Pakistan. U.S. military officials say they do not believe the book has been read or cleared by the Defense Department, which reviews publications by military members to make sure that no classified material is revealed. The book, titled &quot;No Easy Day&quot; (available Amazon $16) and scheduled to be released next month on the 11th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, comes amid a heated debate over whether members of the military — both active duty and retired — should engage in political battles. &quot;I haven't read the book and am unaware that anyone in the Department has reviewed it,&quot; said Pentagon press secretary George Little. White House and CIA officials also said the book had not been reviewed by their agencies. The book announcement comes just as a group of retired special operations and CIA officers have launched a campaign accusing President Barack 0bama of revealing classified details of the mission and turning the killing of bin Laden into a campaign centerpiece. The group complains that Obama has taken too much credit for the operation. Their public complaints drew a rebuke from Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, as well as other special operations forces, who called the partisan criticism unprofessional. Dempsey said that such public political involvement by members of armed services erodes public confidence and trust in the military. The author of the upcoming bin Laden book, who has left the military, is using the pseudonym Mark Owen. And in a news release from publisher Dutton, an imprint of Penguin Group (USA), Owen describes the book as an effort to &quot;set the record straight about one of the most important missions in U.S. military history.&quot; He said the book is about &quot;the guys&quot; and the sacrifices that the special operations forces make to do the job and is written in the hope that it will inspire young men to become SEALs. If the book sticks to his personal thoughts about the job and the mission, Owen may be in the clear. But often special operations forces must sign nondisclosure agreements. And they are not allowed to release classified information, such as intelligence data or military tactics and procedures used to ensure success of the May 2011 raid. Christine Ball, a spokeswoman for Dutton, said the work was vetted by a former special operations attorney provided by the author. &quot;He vetted it for tactical, technical and procedural information as well as information that could be considered classified by compilation and found it to be without risk to national security,&quot; Ball said. Defense Department spokesman Lt. Col. James Gregory said that if the book reveals classified information about the raid, the Pentagon would &quot;defer to the Department of Justice.&quot; According to Pentagon regulations, retired personnel, former employees and non-active duty members of the Reserves &quot;shall use the DoD security review process to ensure that information they submit for public release does not compromise national security.&quot; The CIA also could weigh in because the agency ran the secret bin Laden mission. If there is classified information in the book, the former SEAL could face criminal charges. And even if he donates the money to charity, for instance, that is unlikely to prevent the Justice Department from suing to collect any future book proceeds. Earlier this year, a federal judge ruled a CIA whistle-blower had to forfeit future money he earned from a scathing book he wrote about the spy agency after he failed to get approval from his former employer before publication. The CIA accused the officer of breaking his secrecy agreement with the U.S. The former officer, who worked deep undercover, published the book in July 2008 using the pseudonym Ishmael Jones. The CIA said his book, &quot;The Human Factor: Inside the CIA's Dysfunctional Intelligence Culture,&quot; was submitted to the agency's publications review board under a secrecy agreement that covers books written by former employees. But Jones, who published the book before the review process was completed, said it contained no classified information. In 2010, the Defense Department claimed a former Army intelligence officer's war memoir threatened national security. The Pentagon paid $47,000 to destroy 9,500 copies of the book, called &quot;Operation Dark Heart: Spycraft and Special Ops on the Frontlines of Afghanistan — and the Path to Victory.&quot; The book was written by Anthony Shaffer, whose lawyer said the Army Reserve cleared the manuscript beforehand but the Defense Department later rescinded the approval, claiming the text contained classified information. Shaffer and the publisher agreed to remove the material. Dutton, which announced the book's pending release Wednesday, is planning a major first print run of 300,000 copies, Ball said. The co-author, journalist Kevin Maurer, has worked on four previous books. </p> <p>'No Easy Day': Six Top Revelations from Book on the bin Laden Mission The Navy SEAL Team 6 operators hand-picked to raid Osama bin Laden’s compound in 2011 had some unwelcome surprises waiting for them as they hit the ground, according to Matt Bissonnette (pen name Mark Owen) in his controversial book “No Easy Day,” released Tuesday. </p> <p>Here are the top six revelations from his new memoir. (1) VIPs gathered for a dress rehearsal two weeks before the mission. At a massive hangar at a base training center, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Adm. Mike Mullen, and Adm. William McRaven, now commander of Special Operations Command, wanted to evaluate the plan to raid bin Laden’s compound, and decide whether to go ahead with it. The SEALs then executed a “rock drill,” that included everything from helicopter flight paths to a mock-up of the compound on the floor. “A narrator reading off a script started the hour-and-a-half-long brief on Operation Neptune Spear.” Most of the questions from the VIPs focused on the perimeter team. This included two special operations assaulters, along with a trained dog, who would patrol outside the compound to capture “squirters” – fighters running out of the compound to engage the Americans or wearing suicide bombs to protect bin Laden. This job “was actually one of the biggest and most dangerous positions on the raid,” Bissonnette writes. “If we ran long on target, they would have to deal with first responders, most likely [Pakistani] police, and the threat of military forces showing up.” During the VIP briefing, someone asked whether “this was a kill mission.” A government lawyer responded that it was not. “If he is naked with his hands up, you’re not going to engage him,” the lawyer told the SEALs, adding, “I am not going to tell you how to do your job. What we’re saying is if he does not pose a threat, you will detain him.” (2) Secretary of Defense Robert Gates wanted to bomb bin Laden’s compound. Gates argued that an air strike would be less of an invasion of Pakistan’s sovereignty, according to Bissonnette. (3) Women were pivotal to the bin Laden mission. The SEAL team was given the green light by a CIA analyst with the pseudonym “Jen” who was “the main force” behind tracking bin Laden to Abbottabad. (4) The SEALs enjoyed practical jokes, even as they were preparing for missions. (5) SEAL equipment ranges from drug-store staples to custom-built hybrid weapons. (6) A near crash-landing almost ended the mission before it began. </p> <p>Bin Laden Raid Tell-All Author Revealed [NEWSBOY POST protects his real name] — Questions Raised Whether Ex-Navy SEAL's Have Freedom of Speech SEAL team author's real name is M*** B********** The author of a recently announced insider account of the raid that killed Usama bin Laden has been identified to Fox News as a 36-year-old former Navy SEAL Team 6 member from Alaska who also played a role in the high-profile rescue of an American captain kidnapped by Somali pirates. The book, &quot;No Easy Day: The Firsthand Account of the Mission That Killed Osama Bin Laden,&quot; is set to hit shelves on Sept 11. It is penned under the pseudonym &quot;Mark Owen,&quot; according to the publisher, but multiple sources told Fox News his name is in fact [NEWSBOY POST won't reveal his real identity] M*** B**********, 36, of Wrangell, Alaska. He could be exposing himself to legal trouble, as the Pentagon has not vetted the account. The tell-all book also has apparently upset a large population of former and current SEAL members who worry about releasing information that could compromise future missions. One Navy SEAL told Fox News, &quot;How do we tell our guys to stay quiet when this guy won't?&quot; Other SEALs are expressing anger, with some going so far as to call him a &quot;traitor.&quot; According to a press release from his publisher, Penguin Group, &quot;Owen was one of the first men through the door on the third floor of the terrorist leader's hideout and was present at his death.&quot; In the book, he writes &quot;it is time to set the record straight about one of the most important missions in U.S. military history.&quot; An experienced member of the elite Navy SEAL special operators, he also participated in the highly publicized rescue of Captain Richard Phillips in the Indian Ocean in 2009. That mission involved a daring rescue that ended when SEAL snipers shot and killed three Somali pirates with direct shots to the head. He received the rank of chief before he retired. The book is co-authored with Kevin Maurer, author of four books, many of which were based on Special Operations. Along with using the pseudonym &quot;Mark Owen,&quot; protected his fellow SEAL Team 6 members by changing their names in the book. Both the Pentagon and CIA said Wednesday that the book was not in any way vetted by either department to prevent unwanted classified information from being released. When asked about the book, officials in both departments said they were unaware of the SEAL's true identity, but described co-author Kevin Maurer as a well-respected journalist. Lt. Cmdr. Chris Servello, a Navy spokesman, said it's possible he or any former service member could be punished for revealing national security secrets. &quot;Any service member who discloses classified or sensitive information could be subject to prosecution -- this doesn't end when you leave the service,&quot; Servello said. &quot;There is nothing unique to the special warfare community in this regard.&quot; Meanwhile, the Pentagon said that because the author is a retired service member, any potential criminal prosecution would be handled by the Department of Justice. A spokesman at Dutton, a division of Penguin Group, said proceeds from the book will be donated to charitable causes that benefit the families of fallen Navy SEALs. Much attention has been given to the issue of security leaks in the ongoing presidential race. Supporters of Mitt Romney accuse President Obama of intentionally leaking operational details surrounding the bin Laden raid for political gain. OPSEC, a group of retired military and intelligence officers, came under fire this week from the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Martin Dempsey, who told Fox News on Tuesday he was &quot;disappointed&quot; by the group's political use of the military uniform in a recent anti-Obama advertisement. Dempsey said he feels those who serve ought to remain &quot;apolitical.&quot; OPSEC fired back, arguing that Dempsey's criticisms can be applied equally to the 0bama campaign's &quot;One Chance&quot; ad, which featured images of Blackhawk helicopters in flight and military pilots. The video suggests Romney would not have made the same decision to call for the raid that killed Usama bin Laden. Film producer Kathryn Bigelow received help from the White House when she produced &quot;Zero Dark Thirty,&quot; a highly anticipated film detailing the bin Laden raid that was originally set to be released before the November election but was pushed to a later date after Republicans cried foul. </p> <p>Al Qaeda calls for death of Navy SEAL who authored book on bin Laden mission CBS News -- Al Qaeda has wasted no time in calling for the death of the former Navy SEAL who has written a book under a pseudonym which his publisher Dutton calls a first person account of the death of Osama bin Laden. A jihadist forum, al-Fidaa, located in Malaysia, posted the death calls and provided the author's name and photograph under a headline titled &quot;First Image of One of the Dogs who killed Bin Laden.&quot; Dogs are considered unclean in Islam. Al-Fidaa, which is also used by al Qaeda to recruit suicide bombers, posted comments by one member, Abu (father of, in Arabic) Dujanah al-Kinani, warning that the &quot;lion's cubs,&quot; the mujahedeen (holy warriors), are now waiting for the right time to avenge bin laden's death. Usama means &quot;lion&quot; in Arabic. Ayman al-Zawahiri, the new leader of al-Qaeda has called bin Laden, &quot;the lion of Islam.&quot; Jihadi online forums sometimes refer to Bin Laden as the &quot;Lion of the Holy Jihad.&quot; One posting on al-Fidaa called on Allah to kill the author sooner or later. Another member, in the thread, called on God to &quot;make him a living example and let us witness his dark day.&quot; Continued
