To quote you, Ambassador Rice and Secretary Clinton, it would be called the “phony crude and disgusting; heinous and very offensive, awful; hateful and reprehensible video” scandal Mr. President. That entire line—you promoted for two weeks—is certainly phony.
Here’s another idea Mr. President. How do you like the four “Bumps in the road” scandal?
The Heritage Foundation called it a “Disinformation Campaign.” The Disinformation Campaign Scandal; Do you like that Mr. President?
However our focus today is on the 3 dozen CIA agents that were in Benghazi September 11, 2013. The agents are missing Mr. President. The entire matter is a real scandal. We will call it the very real:
Missing Benghazi CIA Agents Scandal
The ones who, with the help of former navy Seals Glen Doherty, Tyron Woods, and David Ubben fought their way out of Libya. The CIA agents you and your government will not come clean on, Mr. President. The two important questions, Mr. President, are why were they in Benghazi and where are they now?
Let’s briefly address “Why were they in Benghazi?” Since you and former Secretary Clinton refuse any transparency on the matter we can only wait for Congressional, journalist investigators and leakers for the truth. For now we are limited to speculation. We reasonably speculate they were not on a legal American mission. There is evidence the American government was running guns and ammunition through Turkey into Syria provided by a government insider intimately familiar with the events that took place in Benghazi. Our insider calls the real CIA mission in Benghazi, “The Big Lie,”
“The big lie being told is that the U.S. is merely providing minimal support, including humanitarian aid to the Syrians so they can defend themselves from Assad. That’s the big lie that covers up what they are really doing in the region.
“The CIA compound in Benghazi was a logistics hub for weapons, but not only weapons from Libya. Weapons ordered by and destined for other countries, like Saudi Arabia, the UAE and other countries, knowing the plan, were allowing the weapons to be diverted, with Libya acting as the central shipping hub. When Assad falls and U.S. troops are called in for ground support, who will they be fighting? The Syrian army? No, they will be fighting the Iranian army, the Russian army and the Chinese army. Why? Because Iran, Russia and China all have a stake in the region. Putin called Syria his red line in the sand, and stated that WW III will start in Syria, not Iran.
“Benghazi is a moving target of little lies that serve as cover for the big lie.”
Until you and/or your government will tell us why those three dozen CIA agents were in Benghazi, we will need to settle for the word of our insider.
Now for question two, Mr. President, where are the 30 something CIA agents? Are they being secretly held? If so, where are they being held? Do their families know where they are; if not, what were they told? Are the agents and their families threatened if they come forward with the truth?
CNN and Jake Tapper have located some serious—I should say scandalous—facts, Mr. President. Go ahead and read it Mr. President. See if it corresponds with your information:
Exclusive: Dozens of CIA operatives on the ground during Benghazi attack
CNN has uncovered exclusive new information about what is allegedly happening at the CIA, in the wake of the deadly Benghazi terror attack.
Four Americans, including Ambassador Christopher Stevens, were killed in the assault by armed militants last September 11 in eastern Libya.
Sources now tell CNN dozens of people working for the CIA were on the ground that night, and that the agency is going to great lengths to make sure whatever it was doing, remains a secret.
CNN has learned the CIA is involved in what one source calls an unprecedented attempt to keep the spy agency’s Benghazi secrets from ever leaking out.

Since January, some CIA operatives involved in the agency’s missions in Libya, have been subjected to frequent, even monthly polygraph examinations, according to a source with deep inside knowledge of the agency’s workings.
The goal of the questioning, according to sources, is to find out if anyone is talking to the media or Congress.
It is being described as pure intimidation, with the threat that any unauthorized CIA employee who leaks information could face the end of his or her career.
In exclusive communications obtained by CNN, one insider writes, “You don’t jeopardize yourself, you jeopardize your family as well.”
Another says, “You have no idea the amount of pressure being brought to bear on anyone with knowledge of this operation.”
“Agency employees typically are polygraphed every three to four years. Never more than that,” said former CIA operative and CNN analyst Robert Baer.
In other words, the rate of the kind of polygraphs alleged by sources is rare.
“If somebody is being polygraphed every month, or every two months it’s called an issue polygraph, and that means that the polygraph division suspects something, or they’re looking for something, or they’re on a fishing expedition. But it’s absolutely not routine at all to be polygraphed monthly, or bi-monthly,” said Baer.
CIA spokesman Dean Boyd asserted in a statement that the agency has been open with Congress.
“The CIA has worked closely with its oversight committees to provide them with an extraordinary amount of information related to the attack on U.S. facilities in Benghazi,” the statement said.
“CIA employees are always free to speak to Congress if they want,” the statement continued. “The CIA enabled all officers involved in Benghazi the opportunity to meet with Congress. We are not aware of any CIA employee who has experienced retaliation, including any non-routine security procedures, or who has been prevented from sharing a concern with Congress about the Benghazi incident.”
Among the many secrets still yet to be told about the Benghazi mission, is just how many Americans were there the night of the attack. A source now tells CNN that number was 35, with as many as seven wounded, some seriously.
While it is still not known how many of them were CIA, a source tells CNN that 21 Americans were working in the building known as the annex, believed to be run by the agency.
The lack of information and pressure to silence CIA operatives is disturbing to U.S. Rep. Frank Wolf, whose district includes CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia.
“I think it is a form of a cover-up, and I think it’s an attempt to push it under the rug, and I think the American people are feeling the same way,” said the Republican.
“We should have the people who were on the scene come in, testify under oath, do it publicly, and lay it out. And there really isn’t any national security issue involved with regards to that,” he said.
Wolf has repeatedly gone to the House floor, asking for a select committee to be set-up, a Watergate-style probe involving several intelligence committee investigators assigned to get to the bottom of the failures that took place in Benghazi, and find out just what the State Department and CIA were doing there.
More than 150 fellow Republican members of Congress have signed his request, and just this week eight Republicans sent a letter to the new head of the FBI, James Comey, asking that he brief Congress within 30 days.

In the aftermath of the attack, Wolf said he was contacted by people closely tied with CIA operatives and contractors who wanted to talk.
Then suddenly, there was silence.
“Initially they were not afraid to come forward. They wanted the opportunity, and they wanted to be subpoenaed, because if you’re subpoenaed, it sort of protects you, you’re forced to come before Congress. Now that’s all changed,” said Wolf.
Lawmakers also want to know about the weapons in Libya, and what happened to them.
Speculation on Capitol Hill has included the possibility the U.S. agencies operating in Benghazi were secretly helping to move surface-to-air missiles out of Libya, through Turkey, and into the hands of Syrian rebels.
It is clear that two U.S. agencies were operating in Benghazi, one was the State Department, and the other was the CIA.
The State Department told CNN in an e-mail that it was only helping the new Libyan government destroy weapons deemed “damaged, aged or too unsafe retain,” and that it was not involved in any transfer of weapons to other countries.
But the State Department also clearly told CNN, they “can’t speak for any other agencies.”
The CIA would not comment on whether it was involved in the transfer of any weapons.
Monthly Polygraph Examinations, Mr. President?
How many ways are they asked if they told the truth—or any part of the truth—to anyone? Actually we don’t need you to answer Mr. President. CNN’s Drew Griffin has it for us right here:
The goal is to prevent anyone from talking to the media or Congress.
“You don’t just jeopardize yourself, you jeopardize your family as well.” “You have no idea the pressure being brought to bear on anyone with knowledge of this operation.”
Many millions of Americans offer thanks to God we have higher standards than you and your government, Mr. President. Enjoy your lavish time vacationing at Martha’s Vineyard.
Oh one last thing is certain, Mr. President, the light of truth will dispel the lies of this present darkness.
