ZitatThe leading legal and investigatory government watchdog announced Feb. 20 that it filed suit in federal court demanding the President Barack Obama and the director of national intelligence release documents relating to the Sept. 11-12 attacks on our diplomatic mission in Benghazi.
“With all of the Benghazi lies coming out of the Obama administration, the only way to get at the truth is to release these records immediately,” said Thomas J. Fitton, the president of the Washington-based Judicial Watch, a conservative, non-partisan education foundation.
The lawsuit asks the court to compel the Obama administration to release documents originally requested Oct. 19 through the Freedom of Information Act process, he said. The suit, filed Feb. 14, requested any and all memoranda, assessments, analyses, and/or talking points regarding the Sept. 11 attack on the Benghazi, Libya Consulate and or the killing of Amb. J. Christopher Stevens, and three other Americans, produced by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence between Sept.11 and Sept. 20.
ZitatIn December, Judicial Watch released its special report, “The Benghazi Attack of September 11, 2012: Analysis and Further Questions from a Diplomatic Security Service Regional Security Officer and Special Agent.” The report provides a detailed timeline of the Obama administration’s actions before, during and after the Benghazi assault, as well as the State Department’s actions to protect overseas diplomats.
As Judicial Watch presses for answers about Benghazi, Republicans in the Senate have indicated they plan to put a hold on the nomination of John O. Brennan, former Deputy National Security Adviser for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism, who is Obama’s pick to serve as director of the CIA.
The GOP senators will lift the hold when the White House releases more details on the Benghazi attacks, including the speaking points memos.
America's hope is not the donkey or the elephant, but the Lamb.
