Attkisson: ‘Overwhelming Body of Evidence’ Benghazi Rescue Teams Turned Back

[Paladin]

"Wednesday on Newsmax TV’s “The Steve Malzberg Show,” while discussing her Benghazi investigation “Full Measure,” host Sharyl Attkisson said there is now “overwhelming” evidence that rescue teams sent to aid the U.S. consulate in Benghazi on Sept. 11, 2012 had turned back before arriving.

Attkisson said, “We also spoke to sources and have some email evidence that talks about special forces that were not far away in Europe that we were told were assigned to respond in the event of a case just like this, and yet were turned back according to witnesses. This is something that the president and the White House has steadfastly denied, but there’s now what I would call an overwhelming body of evidence that leads us to believe that somebody stopped a number of teams and potential rescuers from entering Libya or going to Benghazi to help while those attacks were underway. They could have gotten there. According to experts and people that have information we spoke to, they could have gotten there before the last two Americans died. Those attacks went on for eight hours.”

She added “We spoke to, again a CIA team leader expert, an anti-terrorism expert who says the only person who stops those forces that spun up automatically without waiting to be told—the only force is the commander in chief,  slash the White House, an authority that comes from him.”

Well done, Sharyl. Now the next step: Who was that "somebody"? "somebody stopped a number of teams and potential rescuers from entering Libya or going to Benghazi to help while those attacks were underway..."

None of this is news to me and shouldn't be to any member here as I told you all this over two years ago!

She really should be on FOX, so more people can get her excellent reportage.

I think you know what was going on there. The White House did not want it exposed that they were involved in running guns to the Syrian rebels through Turkey, via Libya. The CIA Annex was being used as a way station for the transfers, and that information had to be kept from the American public, even at the expense of American lives.

I had 2 article links that said a helicopter crashed on way to help them. I have searched for those and will continue to do so. In it I think one man died.

The movie “13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi” is now in theaters. I have not seen it, but the Select Committee on ‪#‎Benghazi‬ has interviewed a majority of the authors who wrote the book on which the movie is based. If anyone is entitled to tell the world what happened there on the night of September 11, 2012, it’s the heroes who fought and bled to save American lives and the people who witnessed the terrorist attacks firsthand. That’s why the Benghazi Committee has interviewed seven eyewitnesses to the attacks that had never before been interviewed by Congress.

There are witnesses who say there was a “stand down” order, and there are witnesses who say there was not. I respect everyone who serves our country, especially those who did so in one of the most dangerous places in the world. I wasn’t there, so the best I can do is tell the American people what the witnesses say and then let you determine what to believe.

As soon as the Benghazi Committee receives the documents it has requested, and as soon as we have been able to interview everyone we think we need to hear from, we will release a report that explains all of the new information we have learned from our investigation. The facts matter, and we’re going to get them.
