White House To Give Senators Benghazi Documents

White House SC White House to give senators Benghazi documents

WASHINGTON — The White House has agreed to give the Senate Intelligence Committee documents related to the attack on a U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, a congressional aide said Friday.

Republicans had demanded the documents as a condition of voting on the nomination of John Brennan to be CIA director.

The documents include emails between top national security officials showing the debate within the administration over how to describe the attack and other documents the committee had been asking for, the aide said. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly.

The White House has said it has already turned over more than 10,000 pages of Benghazi-related documents, along with witness interviews, staff briefings and hours of testimony.

Tommy Vietor, spokesman for the National Security Council, said the administration was talking with members of Congress about their requests regarding both the Benghazi attacks and the use of drone strikes, but he declined to say whether those requests had been granted.

    Since Democrats control the Senate this is probably wishful thinking but the Senate Intelligence Committee needs to demand that the White House provide a simple answer to this simple question:

    Did the President order an AFRICOM U.S. Army General and a U.S. Navy 6th Fleet Admiral to “STAND DOWN” and then order them “Relieved of Command” when they hestitated doing so immediately, and if not who did?

    If he did he is guilty of treason. If he did not, then he as well as whoever did are both guilty of treason.
