We’re familiar with the controversies surrounding the 911 anniversary terror attacks in Benghazi in 2012 that claimed the lives of Ambassador Chris Stevens, foreign service officer Sean Smith and former Navy SEALS Ty Woods and Glenn Doherty. Issues remain unresolved and failures go unacknowledged. Some would prefer to shove it all under the rug. Others remain dumbfounded by the lack of accountability. Jerry Torres, a former Green Beret, and Brad Owens of “Torres Advanced Enterprise Solutions” are two such people. The pair have come forward to say they were silenced following the attack. Catherine Herridge had the exclusive story for Tucker Carlson of Fox News:
Security at the State Department’s Benghazi compound was so dire that another contractor was brought in to clean up the mess just two weeks before the 2012 terror attack – and was later pressured to keep quiet by a government bureaucrat under then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, according to two men from the American security company. …
… Jerry Torres remains haunted by the fact specific bureaucrats and policies remain in the State Department after the Benghazi attack despite the change in administrations. “A U.S. ambassador is dead and nobody is held accountable for it. And three guys … all died trying to defend him,” said Torres, the company’s CEO and a former Green Beret.
Asked if there was a specific effort by a senior State Department contracting officer to silence them, Torres said, “Absolutely, absolutely.”
Owens, a former Army intelligence officer, echoed his colleague, saying those “who made the poor choices that actually, I would say, were more responsible for the Benghazi attacks than anyone else, they’re still in the same positions, making security choices for our embassies overseas now.”
The men went on to reveal that the organization the State Department originally hired to defend Chris Stevens was a “UK based operation called The Blue Mountain Group that was “…a teeny, tiny, little security company registered in Wales that had never had a diplomatic security contract, had never done any high threat contracts anywhere else in the world that we’ve been able to find, much less in high threat areas for the U.S. government.”
Why would Clinton place Chris Stevens in unnecessary danger by awarding the security contract to such an obscure, inexperienced team…particularly in such a dangerous area of the ME? She thinks such questions make no difference. But a lot of us think it does matter and it matters a lot.
Caught this story last night on Tucker Carlson. Brings up a LOT more questions about the incompetence at State.
And guess who was in charge there at the time. Why do I get the feeling that Blue Mountain Group had made a sizeable donation to the Bubba Foundation before landing the Benghazi security job, hmmmmmmmmm?
Second attempt to post.
Jury selection for accused Benghazi terrorist attacker has begun. It’s about time! But, then again the information that came out yesterday could be very beneficial.
Five years after Benghazi attacks, search for jury starts for terrorism trial in D.C.:
“Five years after lethal attacks in Benghazi on U.S. diplomatic and intelligence facilities, potential jurors arrived Tuesday in federal court in Washington in preparation for the terrorism trial of the accused leader of the assaults in Libya.
Potential jurors answered 28 pages of questions that plumbed their views on issues that have confronted and roiled the country for more than a decade.
The 130 questions extended beyond routine vetting queries about employment, education and previous jury experience to ask about views on whether the U.S. government acts fairly toward mostly Muslim countries and aggressively enough to fight terrorism.
In-person jury selection begins next week when attorneys for each side will be able to ask members of the jury pool about their written responses before a trial that is projected to last six weeks, with opening statements set for Sept. 25.”

More lies from the Dems.
Susan Rice admitted to lying again disclosing others in the Obama administration did too.
Susan Rice Admits to Unmasking Members of Trump Campaign:
“Former National Security Advisor Susan Rice has admitted to unmasking members of the Trump campaign following the 2016 election. Rice made the revelations before the House Intelligence Committee. She justified the intrusion on their privacy by citing a meeting between Trump team members and the Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed al-Nahyan, crown prince of the United Arab Emirates.
This is an explosive revelation.
The Obama Administration vehemently denied any and all unmasking of Trump campaign members.
This all begs the question: If Rice was caught lying about this, what else did she lie about?”

You are not kidding this is an explosive revelation, but we knew that stuff already, we just did not have her confirmation! This is sickening, absolutely terrible. I have never seen our government more screwed up and it all began with dopey Carter and we’ve been going down hill with the democrat presidents ever since, but Obama was the absolute worst of them all. He’s such an egomaniac he doesn’t see the damage he’s caused.
Afraid we’ve been going down hill for about one hundred years. We’ve only had two conservative republican president; Coolidge and Reagan. The rest have been democrats and progressive republicans.
Franklin said they gave us a Republic, if we could keep it. Someone else said we could only be destroyed from within. Well, we are there. We are in a post-republic on our way to a democratic socialist gov’t much like Lenin’s Russia.
Trump for many of us was our last hope to save our country. but today’s news has us wondering if he’ll be able to. A businessman up against career politicians from both parties, K Street, Wall Street, the Chamber of Commerce, the media, etc. etc. can’t do it alone.
Democrats need illegals to put the last nail in our coffin. Susan Rice’s lies and Obama’s last ditch efforts to sabotage Trump before vacating the Oval Office was another nail. Our only hope now are the people who have to in 2018 vote out every progressive possible.
Update on emails exchanged between Huma and Hillary that included classified information on her private server. The lack of security and Chris Stevens’ schedule including his arrival in Benghazi was likely known by those who attacked the complexes prior to that night.
Judicial Watch: New Clinton Emails Uncovered, Reveal Additional Mishandling of Classified Information:
“(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch today released 1,617 new pages of documents from the U.S. Department of State revealing numerous additional examples of classified information being transmitted through the unsecure, non-state.gov account of Huma Abedin, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s deputy chief of staff, as well as many instances of Hillary Clinton donors receiving special favors from the State Department.
The documents included 97 email exchanges with Clinton not previously turned over to the State Department, bringing the known total to date to at least 627 emails that were not part of the 55,000 pages of emails that Clinton turned over, and further contradicting a statement by Clinton that, “as far as she knew,” all of her government emails had been turned over to department.
The emails are the 20th production of documents obtained in response to a court order in a May 5, 2015, lawsuit Judicial Watch filed against the State Department (Judicial Watch, Inc. v. U.S. Department of State (No. 1:15-cv-00684)). Judicial Watch sued after State failed to respond to a March 18, 2015, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request seeking: “All emails of official State Department business received or sent by former Deputy Chief of Staff Huma Abedin from January 1, 2009 through February 1, 2013 using a non-‘state.gov’ email address.”
On September 11, 2009, the highly sensitive name and email address of the person giving the classified Presidential Daily Brief was included in an email forwarded to Abedin’s unsecure email account by State Department official Dan Fogerty.
The State Department produced many more Clinton and Abedin unsecured emails that were classified:”
