Buried deep beneath the Michael Flynn hysteria this week was Judicial
Watch’s release of newly obtained State Department documents related to
the Benghazi terrorist attack on September 11, 2012. One email
confirms—again—that the Obama administration knew the day after the
attack it was not a random act of violence stemming from an anti-Muslim
video. That was the excuse shamefully propagated by top Obama
administration officials (including the president himself) and swallowed
whole by a media establishment desperate to help Obama win re-election
six weeks later.
According to the summary of a call on September 12, 2012 between State Department Under-Secretary Patrick Kennedy and several congressional staffers, Kennedy was asked if the attack came under cover of protest: “No this was a direct breaching attack,” he answered. Kennedy also denied the attack was coordinated with the protests in Cairo over the video: “Attack in Cairo was a demonstration. There were no weapons shown or used. A few cans of spray paint.”
It’s somewhat ironic—galling?—that this email was disclosed the same day the anti-Trump universe was spinning into the stratosphere over Flynn’s resignation as President Trump’s national security advisor. It begs for a little trip down memory lane, to a kinder, gentler time when the media gave a great big pass to another national security advisor in the days after four Americans, including an ambassador, were murdered in Libya by Islamic terrorists under her watch.
