Benghazi Security Contractors Silenced By State Department Bureaucrats

Daily Caller

I’m glad Hillary Clinton isn’t president, and I enjoy the despair of the poor souls who think she should be. But that isn’t sufficient justice for what she’s done. She gets to waddle around promoting her latest stupid book, she gets to bask in the adulation of Democrats and the media (pardon the redundancy), while her uselessness, dishonesty, and flat-out lawlessness continues to go unpunished.

As this awful woman reminds America why we don’t like her as a person, it’s worthwhile to remember that she’s also inept and duplicitous in her professional life. By Catherine Herridge, Pamela K. Browne, and Cyd Upson, Fox News:

Security at the State Department’s Benghazi compound was so dire that another contractor was brought in to clean up the mess just two weeks before the 2012 terror attack – and was later pressured to keep quiet by a government bureaucrat under then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, according to two men from the American security company.

Brad Owens and Jerry Torres, of Torres Advanced Enterprise Solutions, say they faced pressure to stay silent and get on the same page with the State Department with regard to the security lapses that led to the deaths of four Americans…

Jerry Torres remains haunted by the fact specific bureaucrats and policies remain in the State Department after the Benghazi attack despite the change in administrations. “A U.S. ambassador is dead and nobody is held accountable for it. And three guys … all died trying to defend him,” said Torres, the company’s CEO and a former Green Beret.

If this is true, are only two explanations. Either Hillary knew about it, in which case she’s a liar. Or she didn’t know about it, in which case she’s utterly incompetent. I’m guessing Hillbots will choose “incompetent,” before reminding themselves.
