Hillary Clinton's Role in 2012 Benghazi attack

July 27, 2016 11:05 AM

On the evening of September 11, 2012, in Benghazi, the second largest city in Libya, some Islamic militants attacked the American diplomatic compound, killing U.S. Ambassador to Libya J. Christopher Stevens and U.S. Foreign Service Information Management Officer Sean Smith. Several hours later, a second assault targeted a different compound about one mile away, killing CIA contractors Tyrone S. Woods and Glen Doherty. According to United Nations' U.S. ambassador, Susan Rice, the attack was in some way, a response to protests to an anti-Islam video (Innocence of Muslims). Hillary Clinton, being the Secretary of State and an important member of the cabinet, subsequently took the responsibility of the security lapse at the compound. However, 'Judicial Watch' a conservative foundation that fights for accountability and integrity, obtained certain files that show that State Department officials under Hillary Clinton's command blatantly lied about this attack.

The attack was never as once stated, an escalation of a demonstration against an absurd YouTube video. It was rather a well coordinated assault by Islamist terrorists. Some documents released by Judicial Watch in April 2016 reveal that Turkish officials provided intelligence on the attack and offered to "shelter" Americans in the Benghazi residence of the Turkish Consul General.

Before attending the arrival ceremony for the remains of those killed in Benghazi, Hillary was alleged to have promised the father of Tyrone Woods to "have the filmmaker arrested who was responsible for the death of your son."
