Graham: ‘I Think the Dam Is About to Break on Benghazi’

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R., S.C.) wrote Tuesday he believes major revelations about the lead up to the Sept. 11, 2012 attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya, are imminent, in a Facebook message:

“I think the dam is about to break on Benghazi. We’re going to find a system failure before, during, and after the attacks.

We’re going to find political manipulation seven weeks before an election. We’re going to find people asleep at the switch when it comes to the State Department, including Hillary Clinton.

The bond that has been broken between those who serve us in harms way and the government they serve is huge — and to me every bit as damaging as Watergate.”

The money shot:

We’re going to find political manipulation seven weeks before an election. We’re going to find people asleep at the switch when it comes to the State Department, including Hillary Clinton.

Hillary has to be chewing holes in the furniture over being tossed to the wolves by this rookie shithead.

Yeah, too bad the administration managed to cover this crap up until AFTER the election.

Wouldn't have mattered.....he had 47% support from those that don't pay taxes....he only needed the dead vote and the brainless vote to get over the hump and back into the whitehouse.

No kidding, but it doesn't help them that they covered it up.  Americans will swallow a lot of things, but I don't know if this will be one of them. 

I'm more interested to see how many more bites of the shit sandwich Hillary is willing to take for the rookie.  Now that her ass is going to be on the line in a much bigger way, I wonder what she'll do.

To the bolded above.  Bullshit.  The system didn't fail, people weren't asleep at the switch.  This was done purely for political reasons.

President Joe Biden.

Yeah, they'll swallow it, if only to avoid that.  Hillary knows her chances of getting the nomination in 2016 are pretty much nil, and if she did, no way in hell she'd win the general.  Too much baggage, too old, you name it.

She'll take a fall on the sword, then hit the rubber chicken circuit for $250K a pop.

I, for one, hope she hasn't lost that "vindictive bitch" side of her personality.  I hope she buries little barry with every scoop of dirt she has.

I see three issues here.  The security denials leading up to the attack (Hillary's) the denial of assistance during the attack (Obama/Pentagon) and then the cover-up afterwards (Obama & Hillary).

There may even be a third person who's butt should be on the line and that's Panetta.

We’re going to find people asleep at the switch   

If they are serious about investigating, they will find people up all night inventing excuses.

0bama has the media on his side, he will not be hurt by this, nor will Hillary.

Her fat ass will crush the line.

[Lacarnut]

I wish you were wrong but I do not think so. These two will stall and not answer the questions. The media and liberals will state this is all about nothing that happened a long time ago, and a right wing plot. Unless there are taped conversations, there is going to be he said, she said with the Democrats on the committee backing her.

Comcast just says "Public Affairs Programming" on CSPAN.

FOX is talking like they are going to air it live. :shrugs:

I remember back in the 80's the Iran-Contra hearings were on every channel. This was before I had cable....so if I wanted to watch TV it had to be that.

It ain't FOX but it's live.

[Dori]

It's being televised.  I'm watching it on FOX.

The first witness, Greg Hicks - second to Amb. Stevens, is emotional about what happened.  He said that when he talked to Stevens, Stevens told him they were under attack.....there was no mention of any protests.

Stevens had been taken to the hospital run by Ansar al-Sharia, the militants who had attacked the embasy.

Lt. Col. Gibson was told to stand down (from going to Benghazi) by either AFRICOM or SOAFRICOM.

So far I see 4 democrats asking questions......3 of them Black.....democrats trying to play the race card???????

I haven't heard anything racist, but the one talking now is wasting time and the purpose of the hearings by going on about budgeting.

[DefiantSix]

I had to roll my eyes at the Dhimmi'Rat moron that Rush quoted early on, who said, "death is a part of life". That's a Joe Biden level of stupid comment, in my book.

[J P Sousa]

Hicks said Clinton's attorney at the state department told him NOT to talk to congressional investigators.

If that isn't a smoking gun I don't know what is...

This was a total screw up and sham all the way around.  There are a lot of people involved too, heads should roll.  What we don't know, is who gave the order to "stand down" not once, but twice.

The commander in chief (who went to bed during the crisis so he would be rested up for his campaign trip to Las Vegas the next day) needs to be held accountable for his lack of concern/focus/leadership while this attack on U.S. Citizens took place on U.S. soil.
