Benghazi Embassy Attack Hearings

Written By:  Andrew Eide

Recently the Benghazi hearings to determine what happened with the attack on our Embassy, that caused four of our Embassy personnel to be brutally murdered, has concluded. Unfortunately the question I have was never answered. Here are some valuable facts and the question I wanted answered.

There was a General in the area and he told the State Department that he could have his troops there at the Embassy to provide protection in a short period of time. The State Department, under the direction of Hillary Clinton, told the General that he is NOT to send his troops to the Embassy in Benghazi. He was told to stand down and do nothing. When he protested Hillary Clinton told the General that if he violated her order and sent his troops to help the Embassy she would send him to a Court-Martial and have him fired.

Why did Hillary Clinton do such a horrendous thing that resulted in the murder of four of our Embassy personnel? That is the question I wanted answered and she refused to answer it.

In the late 1970's Iran held our personnel hostage and threatened to murder them. President Carter sent help and unfortunately the operation to rescue our personnel failed and people died. But at least I had respect for President Carter for trying.

Had Hillary Clinton allowed the General to send his troops to the Embassy in Benghazi and they were not able to prevent the attack and our personnel would have still be murdered I would have at lease commended her for trying. The fact that she refused assistance to the Embassy is beyond reason. She should be prosecuted and convicted for the murders of our Embassy personnel.

Hillary Clinton testified at the Benghazi hearings that she never received communications from Ambassador Stevens in Benghazi. She also stated she didn't know it was Islamic terrorists who perpetrated the attack. She refused to communicate with Ambassador Stevens about anything.

However at the same time she refused to communicate with Ambassador Stevens she was communicating with her friend Blumenthal, who was not authorized to receive State Department information, and she mentioned to him that it was Islamic terrorists who perpetrated the attack.

Why has she not been prosecuted for refusing to talk to our Ambassador in Benghazi and for releasing highly classified information to Blumenthal who had no clearance or right to know that information?

Hillary should be indicted, prosecuted, convicted, and sent to Prison for her allowing our Embassy personnel to be murdered and for releasing TOP SECRET information to people who were not clared to receive it.
