KNOLL: The forgotten facts

Correction! The facts I want to talk about in this letter weren’t actually forgotten, they were deliberately ignored by mainstream media.

True, as pointed out by liberal press, Hillary won’t be reprimanded or indicted on two scandals. She escaped any legal repercussions in the Benghazi scandal and her use of a private unsecured email server as secretary of state.

That’s all liberal media wanted readers to know. Small wonder an illegal felon has a higher favorability rating than does today’s press, reporters, etc. that will do anything to put another Democrat in the White House.

The narrative our not so free press wasn’t about to cover is what Democrats did regarding Benghazi and the Hillary email scandal. What was left out in the news reports may not be legal bombshells, but are political bombshells!

Liberal media likes to talk about how much was spent by the Benghazi congressional committee. No way will it point out that the Obama and Hillary State Department stonewalled requests for information by the committee to get to the bottom of what happened in Benghazi, Libya as four Americans were killed. Those delays added to costs.

Since when do Democrats care how taxpayer’s money is spent as per our 19 trillion dollar national debt? The government spends that much on nonsensical stuff as “the mating habits of gerbils.” If it was a Republican scandal there would be no problem adding another trillion to our debt and driving it into the ground for years.

The final Benghazi report proved that, instead of an administration concerned about four American lives, pure politics kicked in. It is a fact some guy’s video “did not” cause the attack on the American compound. It is a fact that Obama, Hillary, and Susan Rice lied through their teeth about a video being responsible. Hillary’s emails prove she knew it was a planned terrorist attack and not a video.

There were lies on TV by all three even the big lie during a United Nations speech by Obama. Hillary even lied to the families of the deceased that it was a video then even had the gall to lie she ever said that. All of the families said she told them it was the video.

With some 50 days before Obama’s 2012 re-election the narrative was a video in order for Obama and Hillary not to look bad about their utter failure in dealing with the country of Libya that was supposed to be an American ally following the overthrow of the Gaddafi government. Libya became a total mess back then and still is.

Another bombshell in the final report showed that no support was sent during the eight hours that Benghazi was under siege. The four Americans were left high and dry to die by our government. Kansas congressman Mike Pompeo, a member of the committee, said no action was taken to save the four Americans in order to protect a president’s political legacy. And, that is a fact!

The political fallout on Hillary’s emails needs to be covered in some other letter. True, she escaped indictment, however, her total incompetence with her emails, her lies galore about them, and putting lives at risk by compromising national security with unsecured emails is appalling.

Liberal media and most Democrats would love to have this whole thing go away, but stay tuned. There’s far too much at stake. The email scandal will not go away any time soon as a major issue in choosing our next president.

The way FBI Director James Comey spelled out her carelessness (and lies) should cause anybody with concern for the country to never ever vote for such a person whether Democrat or Republican, black or white, male or female.
