We all know that DC frequently withholds information in the name of national security, and to do so is often appropriate. What is most definitely not appropriate is the withholding of information to cover up either incompetence, unethical, or outright illegal acts.
Many of us just "knew" that we were not being told the truth about what really happened in Benghazi. The reason that a select committee was finally formed was due to the perseverance of Judicial Watch, and the taking of its FOIA request to court. JW managed to get what Congress could not. They found a smoking gun, and Boehner finally buckled under and gave the green light.Now, thanks to Sharyl Attkisson's relentless pursuit of the issue, another devastating revelation has surfaced.
When trust in a governing body erodes to the point of non-existence, the very foundations of the state are in extreme jeopardy.
Will this revelation push us further toward that point?
Excerpt from The Daily Signal "As the House Select Committee on Benghazi prepares for its first hearing this week, a former State Department diplomat is coming forward with a startling allegation: Hillary Clinton confidants were part of an operation to “separate” damaging documents before they were turned over to the Accountability Review Board investigating security lapses surrounding the Sept. 11, 2012, terrorist attacks on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya..
According to former Deputy Assistant Secretary Raymond Maxwell, the after-hours session took place over a weekend in a basement operations-type center at State Department headquarters in Washington, D.C. This is the first time Maxwell has publicly come forward with the story.....
According to former Deputy Assistant Secretary Raymond Maxwell, the after-hours session took place over a weekend in a basement operations-type center at State Department headquarters in Washington, D.C. This is the first time Maxwell has publicly come forward with the story.....
Maxwell says the weekend document session was held in the basement of the State Department’s Foggy Bottom headquarters in a room underneath the “jogger’s entrance.” He describes it as a large space, outfitted with computers and big screen monitors, intended for emergency planning, and with small offices on the periphery.
When he arrived, Maxwell says he observed boxes and stacks of documents. He says a State Department office director, whom Maxwell described as close to Clinton’s top advisers, was there. Though the office director technically worked for him, Maxwell says he wasn’t consulted about her weekend assignment.
“She told me, ‘Ray, we are to go through these stacks and pull out anything that might put anybody in the [Near Eastern Affairs] front office or the seventh floor in a bad light,’” says Maxwell. He says “seventh floor” was State Department shorthand for then-Secretary of State Clinton and her principal advisors.
“I asked her, ‘But isn’t that unethical?’ She responded, ‘Ray, those are our orders.’ ”
If it is shown that this is how DC operates, the citizenry will lose all faith and trust in it, and America will be doomed to ultimate failure/collapse. Is this the ultimate goal of the "Powers That Be"?
