Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton charges that Benghazi attack-related documents do not support President Obama’s narrative of the Sept. 11, 2012 terrorist attack: “We haven’t found any records or any intelligence that the video had anything to do with the Benghazi attacks.”
The Obama administration held to the false Benghazi story until it was debunked by documents in April 2014 “revealing the president’s public relations team intentionally portrayed the Benghazi attack being ‘rooted in an Internet video, and not a failure of policy.’”
In June this year, Judicial Watch “released documents showing that the Obama administration was made aware that al-Qaeda was behind the attack immediately after it occurred.” Just as damning, JW president Fitton states these newest revelations definitively link the Obama administration to foreign jihadist groups in its efforts to push the Benghazi video lie: “The new documents show that the Obama administration engaged domestic and foreign Islamist groups and foreign nationals to push the Internet video narrative.”
“Judicial Watch: Obama and Hillary Clinton concocted Benghazi video lie with jihadist help,” by Edwin Mora, Breitbart News, July 3, 2015:
President Obama and Hillary Clinton likely made the decision to falsely tie an inflammatory anti-Islam Internet video to the fatal Sept. 11, 2012 terrorist attack that left four Americans dead in Benghazi, Libya, the chief of the conservative government watchdog group Judicial Watch (JW) told Breitbart News.
The president and then-Secretary of State Clinton sought the assistance from domestic and foreign jihadists in spreading the online video lie, added JW President Tom Fitton.
Breitbart News spoke to Fitton about newly released Benghazi attack-related documents pried out of the U.S. State Department under a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit filed by JW last September.
One of the document shows that the Pentagon received a request for military assets in response to the attack, but the Obama administration seemingly refused.
An email from the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) to top White House and other administration officials states, “OSD has received queries asking if military assets are being sent to either location [Libya and Egypt]. Have responded ‘not to our knowledge.’”
The Obama administration’s initial response explaining the cause of the attack was “immediately determined by top Obama White House officials” contrary to the president’s claim that it was based on intelligence available at the time.
Obama officials and the president himself linked an anti-Islam Internet video to the attack, saying it incited the terrorists who carried out the assault.
The president said the video link was gleaned from the “best understanding of the intelligence that had been provided.”
However, Fitton told Breitbart News, “We haven’t found any records or any intelligence that the video had anything to do with the Benghazi attacks.”
“What you have is nothing other than Mrs. Clinton’s statement referencing a video, the White House approving it before it was released and then blessing it, saying, ‘this is our response,’” he added.
Fitton noted that President Obama spoke to Clinton during the night of the attack.
“I think you can fairly conclude that it was during that phone call that they decided to push the video lie,” he told Breitbart News.
“They started soliciting Islamists to promote the video lie — some of the Islamists responded by saying, ‘the video is terrible, the attacks are justified, we should outlaw all criticism of Islam.’ Thank you Obama! This is what we get as a result of your engagement,” he added.
The Obama administration refuses to divulge the contents of the phone conversation.
“There’s a document that tells us what was said between Obama and Clinton during the night of the attack,” said the JW chief. “There’s nothing prohibiting its release, it’s purely discretionary.”
The Clinton-led State Department deferred to the White House on the official response to the attack, according to an e-mail sent by a department spokesperson to the aide of a top State Department official and Clinton’s personal aide the day of the tragedy.
A separate e-mail sent out later that day confirms that the White House decided to go with Clinton’s statement tying the Benghazi terrorist attack to the Internet video as the accepted overall government response for the night.
The “[U.S. government] comment” ended up being “Clinton’s notorious public statement, made hours after the initial terrorist attack, falsely suggesting that the Benghazi assault was a ‘response to inflammatory material posted on the Internet,” notes JW in a press release.
Obama administration officials stuck to that narrative until it was debunked. JW obtained documents in April 2014 revealing the president’s public relations team intentionally portrayed the Benghazi attack being “rooted in an Internet video, and not a failure of policy.”
Last month, JW released documents showing that the Obama administration was made aware that al-Qaeda was behind the attack immediately after it occurred.
“The new documents show that the Obama administration engaged domestic and foreign Islamist groups and foreign nationals to push the Internet video narrative,” reports JW. “The day after the attack, Rashad Hussain, the Obama administration’s special envoy to the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), sent an email to Ambassador Ufuk Gokcen, the OIC’s ambassador to the United Nations, and Cenk Uraz, an official with the OIC, pushing the video as the cause of the Benghazi attack.”
Hussain played a role in pushing the rhetoric that the video incited the terrorists attack and in fuelling efforts to criminalize criticism of Islam….

So is this not enough to arrest Obama and Clinton? Impeach them for 1st or 2nd degree murder. How many good American’s died in Benghazi through his and her deceitfulness? And get him out of Office so someone stronger can put your great Country where it belongs. You can also start to put to sword these Islamic Savages once and for all.
Don McKellar says
The wave of race riots that have punctuated the past year make everybody in the position to push forward to have justice done absolutely scared to try. Imagine the massive race riots / looting fests that would EXPLODE in cities across the United States were Obama brought up for charges for his criminal activities! And if you’re one of those Republican presidential candidates — well, geez, do you want to be associated with all that violence and hysteria? No, Obama can run do anything he wants right now, and nobody who is in the position to do something about it will — they are completely chickenshit. And Obama knows it and he’s getting cockier and cockier.

Her own emails show it was all for oil contracts…money…in the first place, according to other articles published recently. And to continue hiding all of the real reasons, money, oil. weapons transfer, the lies are numerous and hideous.
There is a place already prepared for the liars (Revelation 21:8) and the murderers.
David says
The You Tube video story was ridiculous. There really isn’t any need to debunk it or investigate it any further.Nobody knew about the video except the producer and a few others. Really, how would anyone in Libya have even found out about the video until President Obama told them about it. The more important thing is why did Obama lie. My theory is that they were trying to push the narrative of success in dealing with Al Qaeda (Bin Laden’s Dead/GM’s Alive) so they make up this ridiculous story to avoid acknowledging what we all know now=that Al Qaeda and its offshoot were thriving.
Kathy Brown, Esq. says
Something I’ve never gotten over tho’: Lying to the very faces of the Benghazi bereaved. Over the bodies of our brother patriots. While hugging/kissing the fathers/mothers/wives/children of our heroic SEALS, our ambassador and the embassy’s information officer.
And Hillary referred to Amb. Stevens as ‘a dear friend’. Gee-that’s a relief to know, am I right? Because imagine how she’d have treated him were he not ‘dear’ to her…
Lynn says
I had to step out of the room during their Benghazi liefest at the podium. They OOZED lying. I couldn’t stand the energy even thru the TV. They will not be held responsible for a long time if ever.
Google Hillary’s pressure and shame speech. She gave our freedom away 7/15/11. Check out the 10 Year Strategic Action Plan…
BHO practices taqiyya and threatens actions against those who ‘slander’ islam. By ‘slander’ he means the islamic meaning which means to tell the inconvenient truth about islam.
Question is: If Americans are frozen to respond to the clear and presidential danger and wait until ’16 will it be too late to save the United States of America?
Will Americans at least impeach Hillary so she can’t run for POTUS.
John C. Barile says
Among the messages obtained through the FOIA is an open admission that they sought to underscore “incitement rather than a failure of policy” as the cause of the Benghazi attack.
Peter says
Treason
JayT says
That wasn’t evidence to push for impeachment or treason charges. Had they discovered emails, or phone calls, or something else as credible; showing the Obama administration reaching out directly to the Muslim Brotherhood, Al Quida, or some other Jihadist group – then it would be time for every congressman to grab a torch and prepare to burn this Frankenstein monstrosity running our country to the ground.
Trying to sell it to the OIC isn’t grounds for charges. They can easily say they reached out to the OIC to try to run ahead of a fire about to erupt or some other plausible excuse. An email to a Jihadist leader or group is quite different.
Fortunately, the community organizer (I wonder if he managed to actually “organize” any communities for a positive outcome?) will be gone soon, but our fellow Americans are going to stupidly elect a near carbon copy of him with the master of deception – Hillary. Actually, I think it’s very possible she will be even worse. Reset button anyone?
Nathan says
“Hillary. Actually, I think it’s very possible she will be even worse.”
That’s a hard act to follow… But I think you’re right!
Is that even possible? Apart from the police killing true Americans on sight, How can it get any worse?
Budvarakbar says
What makes you think ‘he’ will be gone soon? — that SOB’s every utterance for the next 40 years will be stuffed in our faces — think peanut Cahtah and the Klintoons — the same putrid MARXIST a$$holes that criticize and mock the age of any Republican over 60 are getting ready to the hildabeast up our butts and have been stuffing Cahtah for 35 years — interfering all over the world

I bet your next president will be a republican.
A lot of people are just seeing wimpy wimpy from the USA.
Which is not true.
Obama is the scared wimp.
Kepha says
Dear ich:
You say “your” next president, so I guess you’re not an American. Thanks for your kind thoughts and high regard for my country, but I–as someone who NEVER supported the O–fear that our country has probably passed a very dangerous tipping point.
My guess is that in a couple of years, a new maladministration of Shrillary Shrooooooooo or Elizabeth Fauxahontas Warren (ooooooooh! We Americans just GOTTA elect a WYMYN!) will, in the name of saving the “wymyn” and “gays” or abortionists of some Islamic 粪堆will get us into an utterly humiliating, no-way-to-win quagmire in which our military will be made to fight with not one, but two hands tied behind its back.
Don’t get me wrong. I will gladly vote even for Donald Trump if he wins the Republican nomination for a race between him and one of the two pampered, Ar$e$-covered-by-the-MSM Bints who might head the Democratic ticket. But I’m not sure that the USA has emerged from its EmCeePeeCee slumbers yet for me to be on the winning side. I am just superstitious enough to believe that the Almighty has been engaging in a controversy with my once God-honoring country–and maybe the “progressive” trimph of our times is the thing that will bring us to grief.
Peggy says
It’s tragic that the good people of US don’t have a credible candidate from either side. They are all serving the same master. They are all sellouts.
I believe that it won’t matter which party gets in nothing will change. Now if Ron Paul was a strong candidate or a candidate at all there might be a chance that some will vote that way and America has a chance but between the two now, I don’t think so.
As an American, can you see any other alternative? Are there any parties in America worthy of your vote and how strong are they?
We are in a similar position in Australia. The two parties are both Muslims apologists and the smaller parties are not strong enough. We have to get the word out to vote for the minor parties and reach people or we are doomed.

JamesonRocks says
“…Benghazi video lie…” equals the big lie and the big lie is usually easier for the masses to swallow.
Personally, I will be changing my party affiliation to Democrat so I can vote against Hillary in the state primary…
Kepha says
JamesonRocks, you may have a good idea there. There are a number of Republicans whom I could vote for. Perhaps I’ll support Fauxahontas Warren in the hope that her proven character issue might be exploited by the GOP. I’m actually shocked that the GOP hasn’t made a lot more of doubtlessly many pimples sprouting on Shrillary Shroooo’s tongue at this point. Then again, in today’s America, if it is perfectly acceptable for Bruce Every-Cell-Screams-XY Jenner to say he’s a woman because he’s had some cutting done and bought a new wardrobe, that a couple of homosexuals keeping their b-f’ing for each other alone for three months is a “marriage”, it’s probably OK for Elizabeth Fauxahontas Warren to stick a feather in her hair and some made-in-China moccasins on her feet to say she’s 1/256th Cherokee or Penobscot or Dakota.
BTW, Uncle Kepha is really Jan Karol Wojtyla, a Polish-born convert to Protestantism, who snuck out the back of the Vatican to avoid assasination by Opus Dei, then moved to the USA to teach high school. This explains my deep mistrust of Communism and love of history and languages of all sorts. Hence all this thing about JP II’s death and canonization is to cover up a very big scandal in the RC Church–an apostate Pope [sarc].
No, wait. My real name is Ma Ersa (马尔萨), originally from Yunnan in China. I was born into a Hui family, but converted to Christianity while studying in the USA (yes, I’m murtad–hence my interest in missions to Muslims rather than intercivilizational war). I chose asylum in the US while studying the history of English and American literature in 1989 because I was afraid that as the grandson of a mullah executed for refusing to raise pigs back in 1969, I would be scapegoated by the Chinese government if I returned. Oh, yes. Horse, who sometimes posts here, is my cousin (堂弟). [sarc].
Hey, better yet. Uncle Kepha is really Daehenoc Radleb from the planet Pfifllepfum (Cloud-Cuckoo Land in your language), and I’m a spy for an intergalactic agency. The thing I fear most is the scenario from War of the Worlds in which my planet’s invading host gets killed by your earthling microbes. Bibubibu bibu-bibu-bibu-bibu-biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii [Twilight Zone music] [sarc]
There. You have Uncle Kepha’s take on the America of the false personal narrative. Let other JW readers tell me which of my spur-of-the-moment false personal narratives [HEY! I WANNA be a CELEBRITY!] they liked best. Informal poll, anyone?
John C. Barile says
They released me in 2003. Did they discharge you from the psychiatric ward, too, Uncle Cephas?
John C. Barile says
It was a short leap from the MB to a nuclear Iran armed with ICBMs.
John C. Barile says
Oops. Wrong post. I was about to tell you that, in fact, that I was committed in 2003, and discharged in 2013.
Kepha says
John C. Barile, the point of my false personal narratives was to stress how Asylum America is now run by the inmates. I guess now that evil is good, black is white, male is female, sanity is now insanity.

FOIA docs prove Obama and Hillary concocted Benghazi video lie with jihadist help

That these traitors actually used Jihadists to spread this lie makes it all the more appalling. Just when I thought this story couldn’t get any worse…
Kepha says
Graven, I completely understand your point and share your disgust at our maladministration.
However, my own take is that the O maladministration figured that the MB represents the “wave of the future” for the ME, and hence tried to make nice with it, only to get its proffered hand bitten.
John C. Barile says
It was a short leap from the MB to a nuclear-armed Iran with ICBMs.

I think the PC MCs think that, and many Leftists also; but the hard-core Leftists have a darker agenda. Luckily, the latter are a tiny minority; unlucky for us, however, the PC MCs, who unwittingly enable them, remain dominant and mainstream throughout the West.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
… the hard-core Leftists have a darker agenda. Luckily, the latter are a tiny minority…
Yes, a tiny minority of the socialists in this country are hard core socialists. But the latter is a *controlling* minority, and that does not look to be changing anytime soon.

This is obviously criminal behavior; why are these two allowed to get away with this? Obama should be impeached for being a criminal and a traitor, and both he and Hillary should serve time.

Clinton had someone put in jail so Obama’s campaign was not derailed by revealing the President and Hillary were both ignoring the crisis.

Well before the Benghazi attack millions watching the news saw the black flag with white writing? flying over a large goverment building in Tripoli. WTF? The video in question was viewed by me after the POTUS’ announcment and it had just 1,500 views on You Tube. WTF?
jihadist’s are ever watchful of specific dates of their prior attacks and 9/11 is one date the U.S. State Dept did not remember to be extra watchfull of world wide! Surely they saw the flying black flag in the news too! WTF?
duh_swami says
They swept the broken and dead body of poor Ben Ghazi under the carpet of deceit, and then they lied, and then they lied some more. The truth has been buried by cover up experts.
But you can’t hold a good truth down for long…There was/is something very devious about this whole episode…Hillary knows what it is…That’s why she lies…
Mitch says
“Obama and Hillary Clinton concocted Benghazi video lie with jihadist help”
We know: Those two had a relationship (at minimum, a business relationship) with the jihadists before the Benghazi murders. This fact is publicly know from Sean Smith’s September 11 text message: “Assuming we don’t die tonight. We saw one of our ‘police’ that guard the compound taking pictures.”
We know: Those two assisted in the murders (of Smith, Chris Stevens, Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty) by standing down during the attack. (Either through incompetence or cowardice or worse)
And now we know: They reached out to the jihadists, asking them to go along with the video lie. (Accompanied by a cash payout or some other considerations? Or did they go along in order to save Obama’s presidency? I’d guess both.)
Conclusion: Whether or not Obama and Hillary were deliberately complicit in the original attack (a question still unanswered), the latest revelation by Judicial Watch means that the two of them are, by definition, jihadists.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
TV viewing as dereliction
Then candidate Barack Hussein promised to fundamentally transform America if he were elected. America had a long tradition of making maximum effort to take care of its own, but he and Hillary sat and watched Ambassador Chris Stevens and other Americans fight a hopeless battle and die.. without so much as directing a single military asset to Benghazi to save them. Further, if two ex-SEAL security workers there had *not* disobeyed direct orders from command, the death toll would’ve been in the thirties instead of just four.
But what difference at this point does it make? None: Hillary is leading all potential Republican opponents in the polls, so the country accepts at least this fundamental transformation by Barack Hussein.
Uncle Vladdi says
Since he’s a muslim, everything Obama does is done with his own “jihadist” help.

Angemon says
Not really, Mirren – why waste resources fight a uphill battle that can’t be won? Much easy to ignore them and try to spread confusion where there are waters to be murk. It’s Trolling 101, and another evidence that his propaganda-styled defence of Obama is just a tool he wields, not his feelings on the subject.
voegelinian says
Notice that Stardusty Psyche avoids stories like this one like the plague. Yet when he’s in other threads, he acts like it’s rational and righteous to be an Obama supporter, and he treats us like we’re the irrational ones for our intense dislike and suspicion of Obama, as though we have no good reason for our misgivings — as though there aren’t 100 stories like this one of different types and permutations all together giving us good cause. But when Stardusty just avoids this like it doesn’t exist, then he can mantain (in his mind) his high ground.
Similarly, Stardusty ignores. and has evidently ignored for years, the thousands of stories & data that all told give good reason to lead us in the Counter-Jihad (at least those of us not unduly compromised by asymptotic reflexes) to be generally against Muslims without any anxious qualifiers or taxonomies to protect some putative Vast Majority Who Just Wanna Have a Sandwich. And ignoring these stories & data, he proceeds to disport himself in comments as though such stories & data don’t exist, and we’re just bigots or something.
