46. Benghazi Biopsy: A Comprehensive Guide to One of America’s Worst Political Outrages

..The GOP has done a masterful job of mounting a multi-year McCarthyist attack on Clinton employing innuendo and lies to program the thoughts of those who won't or can't think for themselves: those who prefer to be told what they think rather than do any critical thinking for themselves. Let's not forget to give credit to the M$M who have uncritically printed every anonymous sourced, leaked rumor and phony story for the GOP with little interest in uncovering actual facts and even less interest in covering the real story of Benghazi: the GOP Benghazi Attack on Clinton - entailing 8 Benghazi Show trials which have gone on non-stop for over three years. This is about the best article I have found on this political assassination (praise Newsweek).

Moussa Koussa.

That is the name of the “classified source” in an old email from Hillary Clinton released last week by Republicans purportedly investigating the 2012 attack on the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya. Under the instructions of the Benghazi committee’s chairman, Republican Representative Trey Gowdy of South Carolina, Koussa’s name was blacked-out on the publicly issued email, as Republicans proclaimed revealing his identity would compromise national security. The media ran with it, saying Clinton had sent classified information through her personal email account.


But the CIA never said the name was secret. Nor did the Defense Intelligence Agency or the FBI. No, Koussa’s role as an intelligence source is about as classified as this column. He is the former intelligence chief and foreign minister of Libya. In 2011, he fled that country for Great Britain, where he provided boodles of information to MI6 and the CIA. Documents released long ago show Koussa’s cooperation. Government officials have openly discussed it. His name appears in newspapers with casual discussions about his assistance. Sanctions by the British and the Americans against Koussa were lifted because of his help, and he moved to Qatar. All of that is publicly known.

But, as they have time and again, the Republicans on the Benghazi committee released deceitful information for what was undoubtedly part of a campaign—as Kevin McCarthy of the House Republican leadership has admitted—to drive down Clinton’s poll numbers. Republicans have implied—and some journalists have flatly stated—that Clinton was reckless and may have broken the law by sending an email that included thirdhand hearsay mentioning Koussa’s name. The reality is that the Republicans continue to be reckless with the truth.
