SOME OF CITIZEN UNTED’S STATE DEPARTMENT E-MAILS, OBTAINED UNDER FOIA, SHOW HOW HILLARY CLINTON’S STATE DEPARTMENT PROBABLY RIGGGED FIRST BENGHAZI HEARING


Democrat Senator Bob Menendez (NJ), the Acting-Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, was "BRIEFED" by Dept/ State prior to Benghazi Hearing in 2013...


... MEANWHILE, AS THAT WAS HAPPENING, MENENDEZ WAS BEING INVESTIGATED BY THE  FBI/DOJ FOR CORRUPTION


OTHER LINKS BETWEEN PLAYERS MAKING OF EARLIEST FALSE BENGHAZI NARRATIVES ALSO MADE CLEARER BY CITIZEN UNITED'S FOIA TROVE



According to a Catherine Herridge report on the Fox News Network  ---  “Newly released emails suggest a senior Hillary Clinton aide stage-managed her first hearing on the Benghazi terrorist attack by feeding specific topics Clinton wanted to address to Democratic Sen. Robert Menendez, who at the time was acting chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee…. ‘We wired it that Menendez would provide an opportunity to address two topics we needed to debunk (her actions/whereabouts on 9/11, and these email from Chris Stevens about moving locations,)’ Clinton media gatekeeper Philippe Reines wrote to Chelsea Clinton the morning of the Jan. 23, 2013 hearing. …  Right out of the gate, the first hearing question from Menendez that day covered both topics referenced by Reines.  (See “ 'We wired it': Emails suggest Clinton aide stage-managed Benghazi hearing questions”  by Catherine Herridge, Pamela K. Browne,  Published September 06, 2016  [http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/09/06/wired-it-emails-suggest-clinton-aide-stage-managed-benghazi-hearing-questions.html]).


PART OF E-MAILS OBTAINED BY CITIZEN’S UNITED


The information above was contained in emails obtained from the U.S. Department by Citizens United as part of its ongoing Freedom of Information Act litigation involving requests to the State Department for emails from Hillary Clinton's, to her closest aides and Chelsea Clinton.  

In a statement released along with the E-mails in question, Citizens United said “This email chain provides a rare behind the scenes look at which Benghazi-related issues the Clinton camp had concerns about going into Secretary Clinton’s January 2013 testimony on Capitol Hill, and what they had apparently plotted out beforehand with a Democrat committee member to deal with those concerns….  Citizens United will continue to release all new Benghazi emails we receive through our FOIA lawsuits as they come in -- the American people have a right to know the full picture.”


FOX NEWS MADE PARTICULAR NOTE OF THE FOLLOWING WRT SENATOR ROBERT MENENDEZ

“….  Fox News asked the Clinton campaign as well as Menendez's office if they coordinated before the 2013 Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing; what was meant by the term "wired;" and how the email exchange was consistent with the principle of independent congressional oversight. There was no immediate response from either….  In 2013, the New Jersey senator -- who is now facing federal public corruption charges -- at the time of the hearing was about to become chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, replacing John Kerry who was in line to replace Hillary Clinton as secretary of state. Menendez has denied any wrongdoing.’….”

OTHER INTER-RELATIONS HIGHLIGHTED BY CITIZEN’S UNITED & FOX NEWS

A previous release of emails from another FOIA litigation involving Citizens United exposed that on the night of the attack, Clinton had told Chelsea Clinton, who used the email pseudonym “Diane Reynolds” on clintonemail.com, that the attacks were the work of an "Al Queda-like group."   That E-mail contained  no mention of any anti-Islam video, which Hillary Clinton afterward publicly linked to the 2012 terrorist attack.

Interestingly. Hillary’s daughter is referred to by the same pseudonym in Philippe Reines’ Menendez-related email sent to Chelsea.  In should be noted that, according to Citizens United and Fox --- “Reines is a founding member of the Clinton-aligned consulting group Beacon Global Strategies. The online bios for its founders and managing director suggest no group knows more about the Benghazi terrorist attack and the Obama administration's response….  One of  [Beacon Global Strategies']senior counselors is former CIA Acting Director Mike Morell, who heavily edited the controversial Benghazi talking points, which helped establish the administration’s initial flawed narrative about the attack. Morell recently endorsed Clinton to the New York Times, but later was criticized for not fully disclosing his relationship to Beacon….  In a follow up Q-and-A with the Times, Morell wrote: ‘Among the many things I do in my post-government life -- teaching and writing, serving on corporate boards, speaking publicly on national security issues -- is work with Beacon Global Strategies, a firm that has prioritized nonpartisanship. The firm’s advisory board -- composed of appointees of both Republican and Democratic presidents, as well as career military officers -- make that priority clear. It all stems from a strong and shared belief that our national security is paramount and needs to be devoid of partisan politics.’…"

It looks like Glenn Nocera the complete sell-out GOP leader & candidate in the mid-Brooklyn 44th Assembly District is happy functioning as a Conservative Party toady by inviting Liam McCabe to speak to what is left of the Brooklyn Tea Party at Nocera's W 4th Street home on September 18th. A little flier says that McCabe will be talking about what's going on in Bay Ridge.

Who knows what life will be like in 2017 after a few months of President Trump.
After he spreads around guns to school teachers and gives nuclear warheads to Japan & Germany, the world could look much different.

Why pick on Bob Menendez? Hillary Clinton, and her lawyers and supporters, have had the fix in for her with every hearing and investigation including the FBI. Hillary and Bill can corrupt anything and anybody that they reach out to.

BACKFILL: THE "IT'S NOT AN "ALPHABETICAL" MARKING" EDITION

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT --- JULIAN ASSANGE EXPOSED HILLARY CLINTON FOR A MAJOR LIE IN HER ANSWERS IN HER FBI INTERVIEW --- WHEN SHE CLAIMED THAT SHE DIDN'T KNOW THAT "[C]" MEANT "CLASSIFIED-CONFIDENTIAL" ON OFFICIAL STATE DEPARTMENT DOCUMENTS OR MESSAGES

Appearing on the Sean Hannity program on Fox News --- First, Julian Assange made special note of the fact that everybody handling sensitive government documents both inside government and in the hacking business or at WikiLeaks knows that the marking "[C]" means "classified-confidential"; then, he dropped this BOMBSHELL, WikiLeaks has "thousands" of cables that were >>> signed by Hillary Clinton <<< and which contained the >>> "[C]" <<< marking denoting material as "classified-confidential"..... What's more, Mr. Assange said that WikiLeaks had over 22,000 cables that were >>> addressed to and/or sent to HIllary CLinton <<< that contained the "[C]" marking (which HRC had told the FBI she thought meant an alphabetical notation).

Here we go again. Now the Clinton investigation will be about obstruction of Justice. The real issue is not complex. If Hillary, a/k/a The Clinton Foundation, took money from foreign nationals in exchange for state department favors & access that harmed America, that means a crime was committed. The crime is called Treason, its punishable by death, and, a President cant grant a Pardon for such crime. But no. Trey "my parents are first cousins" Gowdy will focus on the bullshit crimes like he did last time.

VERY IMPORTANT BACKFILL: THE “SINCE HILLARY MENTIONED THE CLASSIFICATIONS HEADERS” EDITION

SOME [INCLUDING JULIAN ASSANGE] SAY THERE’S A “SMOKING GUN” E-MAIL TO ONE OF SEC/STATE HRC'S TOP STATE DEPARTMENT AIDES TELLING HIM TO REMOVE SUCH A CLASSIFICATION HEADER & SEND THE ITEM WITHOUT IT BY NON-SECURE MEANS

LATER ARTICLE POINTS OUT THAT SAME AIDE IS THE SOURCE OF MANY OF HRC’S UNMARKED CLASSIFIED E-MAILS

Since Hillary brought up the issue of “Classified” headers during her questioning by Matt Lauer last night during the NBC "Forum" from the USS Intrepid Museum, don’t forget there is what some have called a "SMOKING GUN” E-mail where Hillary actually instructed one of her top her aides to take off such a classification header and send it by an unsecure fax.

Back In January this year, the on-line version of “The Hill” contained a report that said this: “In order to speed up the transmission of a set of talking points, Hillary Clinton asked an aide to send information to her through a ‘nonsecure’ channel…. In an email marked June 17, 2011, that was released by the State Department on Friday, Clinton informs aide Jake Sullivan that she has not yet received a set of talking points…. ‘They say they’ve had issues sending secure fax,’ Sullivan says. ‘They’re working on it.’… ‘If they can’t, turn into nonpaper w no identifying heading and send nonsecure’” Clinton responds…. It is not clear what the contents of the email were, whether information sent was classified or secure or whether the order was carried out…. The Clinton campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment….” - (See “Email: Clinton asked adviser to send ‘secure fax’ by email” By Bradford Richardson, 1/8/16 [http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/265210-email-clinton-asked-adviser-to-send-secure-fax-by-email]).

REPUBLICANS IN CONGRESS HIGHLIGHTED THE IMPORTANCE OF THE INCRIMINATING E-MAIL

The Hill article went on to note the following: “…. Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Ia.) chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, called the email ‘disturbing.’… ‘The State Department's latest Freedom of Information Act release contains a disturbing email that appears to show the former Secretary of State instructing a subordinate to remove the headings from a classified document and send it to her in an unsecure manner'... ‘Of course, none of the Secretary of State's emails – including one in which she appears to instruct a top aide to strip a document of its 'identifying heading and send nonsecure' instead of via classified, secure fax – would have been discovered if not for [the Benghazi Committee],’Communications Director Jamal Ware said in a statement on Friday….”

OTHER COVERAGE OF THE “TAKE OUT THE HEADER” E-MAIL

About a month after the article, which appeared in “The Hill,” Politico did a lengthy article about Jake Sullivan. That Politico article pointed out that many of the Clinton E-mail chains containing classified information originated with Sullivan, and that Hillary at least twice told him to send information on E-mail without classification headers ( See “Top Clinton adviser sent 'top secret' messages to her private account” by Rachael Bade, 2/10/16, Politico/ [http://www.politico.com/story/2016/02/hillary-clinton-email-jake-sullivan-secret-219013]).

A more recent article in an internet-oriented blog quoted Julian Assange, who called Hillary’s E-mail to Jake Sullivan to remove the classified header information a >>> smoking gun <<< (See “REVEALED: The Smoking Gun Email That Could Destroy Hillary Clinton -- Wikileaks founder claims he has evidence she committed a felony” by Radar Staff, 7/6/16, Radar On.Line/ Breaking News [http://radaronline.com/celebrity-news/hillary-clinton-email-scandal-julian-assange-evidence-indict/].
