The Benghazi Scandal

Likewise, the real scandal behind the attack on Clinton's role in the Benghazi incident was that the CIA was running guns from Libya, through Benghazi, to the terrorists in Syria, using al Qaeda to fight a proxy war to take out Assad.

Here are "takeaways" from the Citizen's Commission on Benghazi:

"Muammar Qaddafi expressed his willingness to abdicate shortly after the beginning of the 2011 Libyan revolt, but the U.S. ignored his calls for a truce, which led to extensive loss of life (including four Americans), chaos, and detrimental outcomes for U.S. national security objectives across the region."

"The U.S. facilitated the delivery of weapons and military support to al Qaeda-linked rebels in Libya."

"Previous investigations have been ineffective as the cover-up of Benghazi continues at all levels of government, prompting the need for a Select Committee with the power of subpoena to investigate this tragedy and compel testimony under oath outside the five-minute rule imposed on Congressional members by the current investigative structure."

A former CIA operative who wrote the CCB report has stated that the then-bipartisan group known as the "Gang of Eight," at a minimum, knew of the operation to aid and abet America's jihadist enemies by providing them with material support. So says Clare Lopez, a former CIA officer and the primary author of CCB's interim report, in an interview with Brietbart News.

Of the 4 men killed in the attack on the US diplomatic post in Benghazi were two CIA operatives who were killed at the nearby CIA bunker, where they were shot while manning machine guns on the roof. The CIA forces had come to intervene in the attack but backed off and returned to their headquarters, out of which the gun smuggling operation was run, with the nearby diplomatic facility as cover.
