"Terrified of Hillary: Fox News and Darrell Issa Team Up for Bogus Clinton Benghazi Smear"

Terrified of Hillary: Fox News and Darrell Issa Team Up for Bogus Clinton Benghazi Smear

The Republican Party is so afraid of Hillary Clinton that Fox News and Rep. Darrell Issa teamed up today on a bogus Benghazi smear campaign designed to slow the momentum of the potential 2016 candidate.

Steve Doocy played video of former Sec.of State Clinton testifying on Benghazi and said, “That was then Secretary of State testifying under oath that she had zero knowledge of calls for more security before the Benghazi terror attack, but a new scathing government report from the House reports that that wasn’t even the truth. Congressman Darrell Issa led the investigation. Listen to this. Doocy then played tape of Rep. Issa on Fox News saying, “Well, the Secretary of State was just wrong. She said she did not participate in this, and yet only a few months before the attack, she outright denied security in her signature, in a cable, April 2012.” Doocy asked, “So was information withheld to protect the administration?” He then brought Peter Johnson Jr. into the conversation and said, “Peter, it looks like Hillary lied.”

It may look like Hillary lied, but Fox News and Darrell Issa are the ones who are really lying.

Foreign Policy reported that all State Department cables go out under the Secretary of State’s signature, ‘It’s not clear who in the State Department sent the April 19 response. But as a general rule, “every single cable sent from Washington to the field is sent over the secretary of state’s name,” a former State Department official noted, adding, “Though they are trying to make this new, it’s not. After 30+ hearings and briefings, thousands of pages, this has all been addressed.”‘
