Let’s face it, Hillary, Obama, and the Democratic Party wanted to run the clock out on the Benghazi attacks. They’ve slow-walked information, juked and jived, and, 3 years later, the American People really do not care that much about the attack anymore. It’s old news to them, there wasn’t really anything hugely new about the malfeasance from Hillary and Team Obama, and they want to move on. However, what about the families of those killed in the attack: what do they think?
(Fox News) Michael Ingmire watched as Hillary Clinton was grilled for 11 hours Thursday about the 2012 attack in Benghazi that left his nephew and three other Americans dead and saw not a future president, but a “serial liar.”
As a congressional panel pressed the former Secretary of State over the attack on the consulate facility in the Libyan city, Ingmire, uncle of Sean Smith, and relatives of former Navy SEALs Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty watched from their homes, hoping Clinton’s testimony would yield answers about why additional security was not granted and why she initially blamed the attack on a YouTube video instead of a coordinated act of terrorism.
“The thing that was shocking – one of the pinnacle moments – was the revelation she told her family there was a terrorist attack while she told America something else,” Smith’s uncle, Michael Ingmire, told FoxNews.com. “Mrs. Clinton is a serial liar.”
She and Team Obama lied to the American people as to the reason for the attack. This is 100% confirmed. One of the questions that all the Congressional panels wanted to know was “why”, but they have never gotten anyone in the administration to answer.
Tyrone Woods’ father, Charles, recalled meeting Clinton when his son’s body arrived at Andrews Air Force Base two days after the attacks.
“I gave Hillary a hug and shook her hand and she said, ‘We are going to have the filmmaker arrested who was responsible for the death of your son,” Woods said, reading the account from his journal.
“That was a complete bald-faced lie,” he told FoxNews.com Friday. “The day after the attack, she was talking to the Prime Minister of Egypt and she said the attack in Libya had nothing to do with the video.”
Again, why were they blaming a video that no one had seen? We’re still waiting for the answer, and, unless someone with insider knowledge squeals, we’ll never know for fact.
Smith’s mother, Patricia, gave a similar account, saying she was told by the administration “it was a video when they knew it was not a video.”
“They told me lies,” she said Friday. “My son told me the night before that he has been asking for security and he hasn’t heard anything.”
Hillary, of course, juked and jived on the point of security, having stated for the record that she never saw any of the hundreds of requests. As Secretary of State, should she not have known about the deplorable and devolving situation in Benghazi and eastern Libya? Journalists were increasingly abandoning the area as being too dangerous. The British pulled their ambassador and mission out of Benghazi after numerous attacks. If she had no clue, especially after pushing for the military attacks on Libya and deposing Ghadaffi (however you spell his name), then she is unqualified to be POTUS. She’s certainly untrustworthy.
Benghazi!!
One would think the limitless resources of the government and the zeal of the ruling Republicans would have been able to ferret out a smoking gun. The truth is that the American people largely ignored the Republican leaks and lies; and the Republicans wish they had ignored the 10 hours of grilling that the next President endured. What they will remember was Trey Gowdy’s flop-sweat drenched screeching and President, er, Secretary, Clinton’s cool demeanor.
You’re reporting that the families of slain Americans are still upset. Great journalism.
Benghazi!! E-mail!! Benghazi!!
Clinton affords the GOP and great all-or-none opportunity (especially since VP Biden decided not to run). If they can now eliminate Hillary they have a great chance to re-take the Presidency. The stakes are high. The obvious question is what fake “issue” the Republican majority will next use to derail Clinton.
Oh, I know. The Clinton Foundation. Who will lead the charge in the House?
Hopefully Jeffery the people will remember that Clinton lied about Benghazi for political gain.
You may scream that the Republicans have politicized the issue, but it was the administration who did that first and in doing so, lied to the families and to America.
The hearings showed Clinton lied and she knew she was lying.
If you want to buy into her lying being acceptable, that’s on you and your lack of morals.
She also lied about her knowledge of the illegal transfer of weapons to the Libyan ‘rebels’.
Jeff,
The smoking guns are there to see, that’s if your willing to see them.
She lied about Benghazi, on a scale of 1 to 10 she scored an 11. She lied to the public and she lied to the families when she knew it was a terrorist attack. A man goes to jail on a pathetic parole violation, justice ill served.
She said she was responsible but she blames everyone else for the screw up, including the deceased Ambassador.
She hid her server and didn’t turn over all her emails, which is a felony but the DOJ want to prosecute since Obama would have to admit he knew she didn’t have a proper email server.
She paid more attention to her buddy Sid Blumenthal then she did to security arrangements.
She we got involved in Libya because Ghadaffi was killing his own people. If that is the case we should be in China, North Korea, Venezuela and all the other socialist shitholes. At least Bush thought Hussein had WMDs, what’s Obama and Hillary’s excuse.
What were we doing in Libya in the middle of the night? Running guns maybe.
Yes Jeff, Hillary is your kind of leftist scum politician. You don’t care how incompetent she is, how much she lies or how corrupt she is. You will vote for her or Bernie the socialist so they can keep handing out all those freebies that hard working Americans will have to pay for.
gc,
Thank you. She will make a splendid president and this terrifies the right.
Whom might she choose for her running mate to cast the deciding vote in the deadlocked 2016 Senate? The Dems probably need some combination of Ohio, Virginia, North Carolina or Florida to win comfortably. Jim Webb is a conservative Dem from Virginia; Tim Kaine and Mark Warner are popular, younger Senators from Virginia. Sherrod Brown is a popular liberal Senator from Ohio. There’s Grayson in Florida but he’s a bit of a lightning rod, and will likely win Rubio’s vacated Senate seat.
I suspect that many on the right actually believe the lie that she lied about Benghazi! Let’s face it, no conservative would ever vote for her anyway, or for any Democrat.
Is there a Republican candidate who has never told a lie? Donald Trump is the leading Republican. Would you really vouch for his morals?
And you are basing this on what? What has Hillary done in the past that would ever get you to think that she would make a “splendid president?”
I know that you will never accept the fact that Hillary lied about Benghazi. I know that you will never accept that she broke the law with her server. I know that you will never accept that as a Democrat, she waged war on women.
We get it.
You have no morals or standards.
Reality really sucks for you, doesn’t it? There are many conservatives that would vote for a Democrat. I have in the past. You would never vote for a Republican because people of character scare the hell out of leftists.
Yep. And Nixon was impeached for lying. Part of the impeachment charges include “lying to American people.”
You wouldn’t be advocating a different standard for Hillary, would you Jeffery?
(In case you are wondering, that’s a rhetorical question as we all know the answer.)
OK. I’ll bite.
What lie did Secretary Clinton tell that has the right’s panties in a twist?
What law did she break?
I used to vote for Republicans. Missouri had a great Republican Senator in John Danforth. And one less great, but acceptable in Kit Bond. John Ashcroft is from my hometown and taught at the local university (then a college). I’m certain I would have supported liberal Republicans like Edward Brooke, Olympia Snowe, Teddy Roosevelt, Abe Lincoln etc etc. But let’s be honest, since Rush Limbaugh took over leadership of the GOP they have little to offer progressives or moderates. Coincidentally, the GOP has won just one national election since Rush took over; they’re 1 out of 6 since then. And 2016 doesn’t look good for them.
The new Republican Party appeals to the most base of America’s instincts.
Since you brought it up, why don’t you compare and contrast my morals and yours.
This is what we learned from the Congressional testimony from Hillary:
1. She did not arrange for proper security of the people she put in harms way.
2. She ignored security warnings and other indications that a pending attack was to occur.
3. She intentionally lied about a video causing the tragedy and not confronting a serious terrorist attack.
4. She pointedly lied to the family of the killed.
5. She lied in order to establish a political narrative in order to further the chance for re-election of Obama.
6. She perjured herself when she had previously said that emails and other communications could not be reproduced for Congress.
Then we know that she funneled money from foreign governments into her families personal accounts through the Clinton charity organization. We also know that she has very, extremely poor judgment that was responsible for the deaths of Americans, the over throw of governments that are friendly to the US, the murder of countless individuals by empowering the wrong side in Arab Spring, the rejuvenation of the nationalism of Russia and empowerment of Putin.
Why do reasonable, knowledgeable people fear Hillary? Because she is ultimately corrupt and will continue the destruction of our government and way of life. She has absolutely zero accomplishments. The mere fact that she and her husband are placed above the law is reason enough to stop this group of elitist. But, people like Jeffery and John can not see the issue and will continue the damage, if not worsen it. But, I say, if we must, let it happen, it only makes the South better positioned to achieving their much sought for freedom
You are assuming that you have morals to compare to.
“She will make a splendid president..” Sure, after she was a train-wreck of a Secretary of State. Although she can lie like Obama so she’ll have the low-info vote in her pocket.
That’s what I thought you would do. It’s tough to back up your silly claims isn’t it?
We get it, kids. You disagree with Clinton’s likely policy positions so you smear her. It’s just politics. No wonder Donald Trump has taken over the GOP.
[…] William Teach on The Pirate’s Cove: Families Of Benghazi Victims Call Hillary Clinton A “Serial Liar†[…]
Speaking of Donald Trump, can you imagine the right-wing shitstorm if Hillary Clinton’s staff did what Trump’s brownshirts do?
http://thinkprogress.org/immigration/2015/10/24/3715850/video-shows-immigration-protester-dragged-across-the-ground-and-kicked-at-trump-rally/
Unsurprisingly, this isn’t the first time Trump’s stormtroopers have assaulted dissidents.

These are just thugs on Trump’s payroll – imagine having the IRS and FBI at his disposal!
Can you imagine the high dudgeon from the conservablogosphere if this happened at a Clinton rally?
This is why decent Americans fear the far-right – the fact is that Trump supporters not only approve of but actually advocate violence against protesters.
Although they try to hide it, this is the new conservative party; 1) demonize the opponent as “low energy”, “lazy”, “a loser”, “sweaty”, 2) offer simple solutions to difficult problems/ ignore policy, 3) bury dissidents. This worked well in another continent, long ago, and could work again, but it’s always projection.
gc,
Than please just list a few morals of which you’re most proud. Thanks!
How about the Ten Commandments?
Do you keep them?
How about Jesus Christ? Do you follow His teachings?
for example:
“For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’
Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’
And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.'”
(Matthew 25.35-40 ESV)
“So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.”
(Matthew 7.12 ESV)
There will always be conflict between those who, at every opportunity large and small, take advantage of others weaknesses and those who live their lives according to Jesus’ teachings.
Jeff,
Off the meds again?? As to the Jesus quotes, you do understand that there is a huge difference between an individual following the Christian teachings and the government making us cough up taxes for those that it feels needs the state’s charity and thus garnering votes for the politicians?? No, you likely have no idea. As to Trump, think of all those powers that Obama has accumulated and the next president will be able to use. He is coming for you.
dave,
Your interpretation of Jesus’ intent is convenient for the conservative cause. Lower taxes for doctors!!
So Jesus advocates helping personally but NOT through the government or Caesar. How about through the church? Many Christians are expected to tithe, some of which is used for helping the less fortunate – almost like the government!
Most conservatives greatly overestimate how much our government spends on welfare (unless you count Social Security and Medicare – and not even conservatives want to get rid of those two popular programs, do they?). Some 63% of our discretionary spending is on defense and veterans (and obviously part of our interest on the debt is from defense spending, but interest is not discretionary). Housing, transportation, courts, justice, energy, education, research, environment etc comprise the rest.
Do you think Jesus prefers spending on more F-18s and tanks to helping hungry children?
Jeff,
Congratulations, your comments are now not making sense at all. If you could control your hate, you might be a bit happier. As it is, you definitely need more medication, call your doctor before they put you back in the ward.
dave,
What comment confused you?
