State has not turned over 2 Benghazi-related emails to Congress
2015-07-14
The State Department has not turned over to congressional Benghazi investigators an email exchange between Hillary Clinton and top aides who were prepping the former secretary of state to discuss the 2012 terrorist attack with a U.S. senator.

The House Select Committee on Benghazi has confirmed to POLITICO that it does not have copies of two Sept. 29, 2012, emails between Clinton and her top policy staffer Jake Sullivan, chief of staff Cheryl Mills and spokesman Philippe Reines.

The emails -- which surfaced last week in a State Department response to a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit brought by a conservative group -- also mention the talking points for Susan Rice, then U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, according to a description of the messages in court documents.

In the days after the Sept. 11, 2012, attack that left four Americans dead, Rice had blamed the tragedy on an anti-Muslim video. Hill Republicans would subsequently accuse the Obama administration of misleading the public about how security at the U.S. compound broke down.

State would neither confirm nor deny that the emails had been withheld, other than to refer to the court filing, which argues certain agency deliberations are exempt from disclosure.

#3  Our fragile domestic political system has certainly not been ignored by those forces within our government who work so diligently to achieve global 'regime change.' The use of "executive privilege" or it's selected media friendly variants, has become little more than a cover for action.

As odious and despicable as the Beest may be, she does not labor alone. No one with political and intelligence community connections 'inside the bubble' could be unknowing of the facts. Political parties have become a media myth for prole consumption. The entire Washington establishment is corrupt, both sides of isle.

Yes, theater indeed, Besoeker.

Politicians stand behind "executive privlege" or "classified" because the documents would not stand the light of day. Occasionally, things are classified to protect sources or personnel or sensitive relationships) However, too often these ploys are used by our betters to keep up from revolting in disgust.
