Before Hillary’s testimony Thursday in front of the House Select Committee on Benghazi, her supporters could take some comfort in thinking that there had been genuine confusion about the cause of the assault on the Benghazi consulate.The only person to suffer consequences from the Benghazi terrorist attack was someone who made a film. Not anyone who shot, threw molotov cocktails, or fired grenades at the Embassy, but a film maker, in America.
After all, as Ohio Republican Jim Jordan made clear, it was Hillary who first introduced the narrative that an anti-Muslim video inspired the attack. “It started with you, Madame Secretary," said Jordan.
.....................
As Jordan also made clear, however, Hillary never believed for a moment that the video was responsible. He shared her communication that same night with the president of Egypt. "We know that the attack in Libya had nothing to do with the film. It was a planned attack, not a protest," wrote Clinton. Later that night, in an email to daughter Chelsea, she pinned the attack on an “Al Queda-like group.”
.....................
In real life, however, Hillary sold the false video narrative hard in the weeks after the attack, most disgracefully to the families of the dead. At a small ceremony upon the return of the caskets to Andrews Air Force base, Hillary shook the hand of Charles Wood, father of Benghazi hero Ty Woods, and said, “We are going to have the filmmaker arrested.”
In this rare instance, Hillary was as good as her word. She and Obama set out to identify and punish the maker of that video, and they did so with a speed and severity that the attackers themselves were spared. Scarier still, to the degree the major media noticed, they cheered.
