SHE KNEW – AT 8:45 A.M. ET: Andy McCarthy, in National Review, examines new documents pried from the federal government by a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit, and concludes that Hillary Clinton knew from the first moments that Benghazi was a terrorist assault. Clinton, however, told the American people that it was a result of a YouTube video. She lied. She continues to lie. Lying is her way of life, and the way of life of the Obama administration, which she served. From NRO:
From the very first moments of the terrorist attack on the U.S. compound in Benghazi on September 11, 2012, then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her top aides were advised that the compound was under a terrorist attack. In fact, less than two hours into the attack, they were told that the al-Qaeda affiliate in Libya, Ansar al-Sharia, had claimed responsibility
These revelations and others are disclosed by a trove of e-mails and other documents pried from the State Department by Judicial Watch in a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit. The FOIA litigation focuses on Mrs. Clinton’s involvement in the government actions before, during, and after the Benghazi attack, in which Christopher Stevens, the U.S. ambassador to Libya, was murdered by terrorists. Also killed in the attack were State Department information management officer Sean Smith, and two former Navy SEALs, Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty, who were contract security employees and who had fought heroically, saving numerous American lives. At least ten other Americans were wounded, some quite seriously.
COMMENT: Read the whole thing. It's a superb piece, and it's definitive. Andy McCarthy has done his usual great job.
Benghazi should be a significant issue in the 2016, if Hillary is the nominee. She got her famous 3 a.m. call, and blew it. She then lied about it. She is not qualified to be commander-in-chief.
