Hey, what do you know - turns out no one was ever told to stand down in the Benghazi "scandal". This is what happens when people jump on one random source and just believe whatever it is they want to hear instead of actually waiting for facts.

"Contrary to news reports, Gibson was not ordered to 'stand down' by higher command authorities in response to his understandable desire to lead a group of three other special forces soldiers to Benghazi," the Republican-led committee said in a summary of its classified briefing with military officials, including Gibson.

Folks who really got all worked up over this (and the IRS one also) should look into themselves and try to understand why... A good lesson to be learned.. If ignored, you will be bound to make the same mistake.

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.

Read: Analysis: CIA role in Benghazi underreported

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.

In exclusive communications obtained by CNN, one insider writes, "You don't jeopardize yourself, you jeopardize your family as well."

Another says, "You have no idea the amount of pressure being brought to bear on anyone with knowledge of this operation."

Hmm... CIA secrets.

Arms trafficking? Secret Prisons? Clandestine ops in neighboring countries? Crafting faux-mink hats from native Libyan nutria? And to think someone is in jail as one of their scapegoats to keep a secret.

Covering up secrets. Covering up. Cover up. Good times in the USA.

You mean the super-secret agency charged with keeping a lid on America's secrets is aggressively keeping secrets? Say it ain't so.

Y'all are unintentionally hilarious.

Yes, the CIA deals in secrets we know. Legal, illegal, whatever, you know. It's all good for us as US citizens, right?

This could be great for Obama. He can come out and say the reason his administration lied over and over again about Benghazi was to protect some CIA mission details. That would be a lie too, but that's never stopped him before.

This certainly helps Rand Paul's position

Sen. Rand Paul suspects the U.S. was secretly running guns through the consulate in Benghazi to arm Syrian rebels. The Kentucky Republican said the Obama administration must provide answers about whether firearms trafficking through Libya was related to the terrorist attack that killed four Americans, including Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens.

“We need to ask a lot of people in the administration, including Susan Rice, Hillary Clinton and others: Were we shipping arms to Turkey? And, was that why the ambassador was there in Benghazi? And why the CIA annex was there?” Mr. Paul said Sunday in an interview with Shannon Bream of Fox News.

He added that, “I had a conversation with another congressman today who said that he asked someone within the leadership of Congress whether or not arms were being exchanged in Benghazi, and the response he got was, ‘That was classified.’”

Mr. Paul concluded that, “When someone tells me that — that’s not a denial — that’s saying that, ‘I’m not going to talk about that.’ To me, that almost sounds like yes.” The State Department did not respond to request for comment.

When Mrs. Clinton testified before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Mr. Paul asked her directly about gunrunning — via Turkey — to arm Syrian rebels.

“When I asked Hillary Clinton that question in the committee hearing, she never said, ‘No we weren’t involved with transferring guns out of Libya,’” he told Fox News. “She just said, ‘Oh I can’t imagine. That’s not under my — that would be the CIA. We would have to ask them.’ But she acted like she’d never heard of the question.”

In the Jan. 23 hearing, Mr. Paul asked her directly: “Is the U.S. involved with any procuring of weapons, transfer of weapons, buying, selling, anyhow transferring weapons to Turkey out of Libya?”

“To Turkey? I will have to take that question for the record. That’s — I — nobody’s ever raised that with me,” Mrs. Clinton responded.

“It’s been in news reports that ships have been leaving from Libya, and that they may have weapons,” Mr. Paul continued. “The annex that was close by — were they involved with procuring, buying, selling, obtaining weapons, and were any of these weapons being transferred to other countries, any countries, Turkey included?”

“Well, Senator, you’ll have to direct that question to the agency that ran the annex. And I will — I will see what information is available and …” Mrs. Clinton replied.

“You’re saying you don’t know,” Mr. Paul offered.

“I do not know. I don’t have any information on that,” she answered.

Congress has yet to authorize such an act.

Keep this up and you'll no longer be on The Back-slapping Cadre of Liberal's APPROVED conservative poster's list. It's a short list, for sure.

No, by "y'all," I mean people who think there is any kind of actual scandal in the Benghazi incident.

Cmon man. Surely you recognize all the signs of a 'phoney scandal' such as the White House hiding survivors and changing their names.

yeah, whether or not Hilary knew about illegal gun running to Syrian militants is not relevant to her fitness for higher office...
