THE TERRORISTS who attacked the US consulate in Benghazi used cell phones taken from State Dept. personnel to call senior leaders during the attack, sources say, adding to the body of evidence that the Obama administration knew early on the attack was terrorism.

June 11, 2014 12:10 pm Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel admitted that “the trust has been broken” between the White House and Congress following the Obama administration’s decision to skirt U.S. law and release five top Taliban leaders without first consulting with lawmakers. Hagel admitted to lawmakers on the House Armed Services Committee Wednesday that the administration unilaterally inked a deal with the Taliban to release five top prisoners from the Guantanamo Bay prison camp without first notifying Congress, as is legally mandated. The deal was signed “without providing 30 days notice to Congress,” as is required by law, Hagel told lawmakers before attempting to justify the administration’s decision to ignore this law. The White House’s decision to skirt this law has prompted the House Armed Services Committee to launch a full investigation into the matter, lawmakers revealed on Wednesday. When asked directly by Rep. Jeff Miller (R., Fla.) if the Obama administration had complied with the law as written, Hagel responded, “No.”
By now, everyone knows that the Benghazi "YouTube video" story was a complete fabrication. Recent emails prove it was a false narrative, pushed as part of an effort to "insulate" the administration from negative press as the 2012 election loomed. No sane person will try and argue otherwise. We know that the White House knew - in real time - what was happening on the ground at the consulate. Instead of telling the American people the truth, they decided to blame a ridiculous YouTube clip and hide the realities for political gain. Now, it gets worse. The night of the attack, terrorists grabbed cell phones inside the consulate and called their superiors to celebrate their victory. ....and American intelligence officers were listening to those calls.
