    what do you call the emails if not evidence? I am not sure there could be a bigger smoking gun than those emails. Its about as definitive of proof as you are gonna get.

    At playing politics with Benghazi. The very thing you are trying to say Republicans are doing. Do you deny the Obama administration has played political games here?

    I wish you could hear yourself. It's entertaining watching you attempt to disparage and marginalize people that don't see it your way. A perfect representation of why there is such a gulf between the two parties in power.

    I especially enjoyed your reliance upon Jay Carney's press conferences as if the words he says are nothing other than the 100% truth. Did you believe with such fervor the words of Andrew Card, Tony Snow, or Ari Fleischer? Ahhh, of course you did.

    To paraphrase Jay Carney last week speaking about the events in Benghazi, "That happened long time ago".

    And I would add that Hillary Clinton called and she wanted to ask, "What difference, at this point, does it make?"

    HOLLAA!!!

    Just happened to catch the opening of ABC World News -- no mention of Benghazi.

    Telling..?

    Edit: ABC did a short story focusing on republican attack ads against Hillary in 2016.

    Of What? Are you saying something is only a story to you if it is on ABC World News? You already know the State Department did try to cover up the terrorist attack. ABC has already shown you the emails and told you so. I am not sure what your issue is?

    Why did my post get you so agitated? I was just commenting on the reporting of the story on a major network.

    Benghazi whistle-blower a Democrat, voted for Hillary and Obama twice

    A key Benghazi whistle-blower who has allegedly been punished for speaking out against the administration is a registered Democrat who voted for both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.

    The lawyer of Gregory Hicks, the former U.S. deputy chief of mission in Libya who testified before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Wednesday, confirmed the information to The Daily Caller on Saturday.

    According to the lawyer, Victoria Toensing, Hicks voted for Clinton during the 2008 primary, and for then-Illinois Sen. Obama in the 2008 general election. He again voted for Obama in 2012.

    “The fact is he is a registered Democrat in Virginia. The fact is he voted for Hilary in the primary and Obama and then again for Obama,” Toensing said.

    Toensing added that she did not know he was a Democrat until the day before the hearing.

    “I’m not interested in that,” she said. “I’m interested in government not abusing its powers.”

    Hicks testified before the House Oversight Committee this week regarding the events that took place on Sept. 11, 2012 in Benghazi and recalled how the State Department told him not to cooperate with the congressional investigation into the events, which led to the deaths of four Americans.

    Hicks further testified that he has been demoted since Benghazi.

    STATE DEPT CONTINUES TO HIDE IDENTITIES OF BENGHAZI SURVIVORS FROM CONGRESS
    by MATTHEW BOYLE 7 May 2013

    As the congressional investigation into the terrorist attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, continues to heat up, State Department spokesman Patrick Ventrell told reporters on Monday that the administration is allowing survivors of the attack and other Department employees to come forward and tell the truth about what happened.

    “We have always encouraged any State Department employee who wants to share their story and tell the truth,” Ventrell said on Monday, according to the Washington Post.

    But a letter the State Department’s Acting Assistant Secretary for Legislative Affairs Thomas Gibbons sent to Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) on the same day tells a completely different story. Gibbons was responding to a request from Graham for the administration to allow Congress to interview the five Diplomatic Security agents who survived the attack.

    “The Department appreciates your interest in talking to the five State Department Diplomatic Security agents who survived the attack,” Gibbons wrote. “At the same time, we have serious concerns about their welfare and want to be careful not to interfere with the FBI’s investigation of the attack.”
    Gibbons wrote that one of the five agents who survived “is currently recovering at a local military hospital” and “the other four have returned to duty.”

    “All are security professionals, and we are committed to ensuring their security as they return to the field,” Gibbons continued. “Should their identities become public, they may become targets, putting their lives, as well as those of their families and the people they protect, at increased risk.”

    The State Department says it is not suppressing whistleblower accounts of the attack, but it is continuing to keep survivors of the attack from Congress. While those survivors ultimately may not become whistleblowers if they choose not to come forward, Congress cannot even attempt to communicate with them because the State Department is hiding their identities.

    Nonetheless, Gibbons argued in the letter that President Barack Obama’s administration has “provided Congress with extraordinary access information related to the attack in Benghazi.”

    “We have participated in eight Congressional hearings and more than 20 Congressional briefings, and shared over 25,000 pages of internal records related to the situation in Benghazi, including reporting from the night of the attack,” Gibbons wrote to Graham. “Also, we shared with Congress the classified and unclassified reports of the independent Benghazi Accountability Review Board, which reflect the input of people on the ground in Benghazi and Tripoli.”
    In a statement to Breitbart News in response to the administration’s claims that it is not suppressing whistleblowers while continuing to deny Congressional attempts to interview those five survivors, Graham said it is “completely unacceptable.”

    “It's our job to oversee and provide oversight to the executive branch,” Graham said. “I've been asking for survivors and people who were involved to come forward. Every agency in the government is stonewalling.”

    The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, chaired by Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA), is expected to hear testimony from whistleblowers who have come forward at a hearing on Wednesday.
