Emails Show Hillary Aides Stalled Benghazi Probe

by JASmius



Another day, another Hillary Clinton scandal.

But this one has blood on it:

Two of Hillary Clinton's top aides ran interference while the 2012 Benghazi terrorism attacks were going on, the former secretary of state's emails, obtained through a Judicial Watch federal lawsuit, reveal.

The aides named were Clinton's main gatekeeper, Philippe Reines, and Cheryl Mills, who has worked with Clinton for years, reports Fox News. They mainly show Mills' role in how the events rolled out publicly.

"Cheryl Mills was instrumental in making sure the big lie was put out there," Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said.

While the assault was happening that killed Ambassador Christopher Stevens and several other embassy staff, Mills told then-State Department Spokeswoman Victoria Nuland to quit answering reporters' questions about Stevens' status, the emails show.

Further, the emails contained references to a "Benghazi Group," which a diplomatic source told Fox News was a inside code name for Mills' task force, which handled damage control.

Judicial Watch has not received emails to or from Clinton herself from the night of the attack, Fitton said.

You could also call the "Benghazi Group" just one more "Clinton war room".

But here's the punchline:

“You have to wonder whether these aides went offline and were using secret accounts to communicate with her about the Benghazi attack," he said. [emphases added]

We don't have to wonder any such thing.  It's little short of demonstrable fact at this point.

Exit observation: Even Trey Gowdy doesn't intimidate any Democrat, does he?
