While on Face the Nation on CBS, Chairman of the House Select Committee on Benghazi Trey Gowdy made an important point regarding the investigation into the attacks in Benghazi two months before President Obama’s reelection.
The previous investigations into the attack which resulted in the death of four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens, never received Stevens’ emails for review. Gowdy said Stevens asked for security after he became Ambassador in June 2012, but his concerns and requests fell upon deaf ears as the State Department refused to provide adequate protection.
And the point Gowdy makes about Stevens’ emails is an important one. The Ambassador was requesting security, yet Hillary and her staff didn’t listen to him. Stevens was the first Ambassador to be slain on duty since 1979. And it happened on Hillary’s watch after he requested protection. That is certainly worthy of an investigation and Gowdy made an important point about the importance of those emails.
“If we want a window into Libya and what was happening in the weeks and months before these four were killed, why would you not look at the ambassador’s emails? He was a prolific emailer.”
Following the attacks, the Obama administration falsely blamed the deaths on a video that offended and incited terrorists. Emails from Chris Stevens prove that was not the case at all and are imperative to the investigation.
Why do you believe the State Department didn’t provide Stevens with the security he requested? Do you think it had something to do with President Obama’s reelection? Please comment below.

The devil is in the plans. Something somehow traces back to the dems protecting Hillary and now obama. Wish this guy never got elected. Like I said, The devil was in the plan.We wont find out anything because the dems are too concerned with money costs and Republicans to the media and dems, are the enemy. This all makes me sick of the media and the dems. Millennials just arent informed to make wise decisions. Years from now, truth will be told.
I think our Ambassador, Chris Stevens, knew too much. By ignoring his pleas for help in the way of increased security, knowing he was a sitting duck for terrorists, is equivalent to murder.
They were running guns to AL Qiuda and ISIS stevenson and those who were involved were sacrificed to shut them up so the truth didnt get out, its really not that hard to figure out, then come up with some lame story about a video, jesus people are so friggin dense.Obama even admitted to arming ISIS, If this isnt treason, well…………
Stevens and the others should have had security
I think they were running guns through Benghazi and that’s why they didn’t shut down our embassy when the others did, but why they didn’t provide more security when it was requested, I can only think incompetence!
Considering the sexual orientation of Stevens and 0bama , could there have been incidents which could have been detrimental to 0bama’s re-election if it was publicly discovered? Just speculating….
They budget where they should spend and then turn around and spend where they should budget. They also don’t know what they’re doing at the White House, ignorance played a huge role in this. When the British pulled out we should have either pulled out also or provided the security. The security teams were told to stand down. Hillary should be charged with their deaths.
