Top Obama officials set aside the truth about Benghazi and spun a fanciful tale about a movie that never mattered and a demonstration that never happened.

THERE’S A STORM BREWING: LAWMAKERS DIGGING FURTHER INTO BENGHAZI Posted 05.10.13 by Greg Campbell, TPNN Contributor There may be a storm on the horizon for the State Department and the Obama Administration as the head of the House Foreign Relations Committee, Rep. Ed Royce, has announced that he will be pursuing further hearings after the scandalous revelations brought forth during Wednesday’s House Oversight and Government Affairs hearing on the Benghazi attacks. Three high-level witnesses testified on Wednesday that security was unnecessarily lax, the rescue team were ordered to stand down and that the State Department knew the true nature of the attack before promoting the lie that the attack was a protest over a YouTube video. Royce stated, “The Committee continues its examination of the deadly Benghazi terrorist attacks so we can ensure that the bureaucratic failures that left State Department personnel vulnerable are not repeated. The Committee will continue to review the responsibility of senior State Department officials for the failure to provide proper security prior to the Benghazi attacks and needed improvements in embassy security.” Though muted in his statement, the continuation of digging indicates an unwillingness to accept the Accountability Review Board’s (ARB) flimsy analysis of the Benghazi attack. Royce has also targeted the ARB by introducing the Accountability Review Board Reform Act of 2013 which aims to sever the bond between the ARB and the State Department to eliminate a conflict of interest. He has also written his fellow legislators, saying, “Yesterday, the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform held a hearing that reaffirmed the flaws in the Benghazi ARB’s review. Specifically, the ARB found that the responsibility for the ‘systemic failures and leadership and management deficiencies within the State Department stopped at the Assistant Secretary level. As we heard throughout the hearing, this was simply not the case.” On Thursday morning, Senator Tom Coburn intimated that there would be more developments in the Benghazi scandal and that there are no plans to let the issue drop. On MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Coburn stated, “I think the State Department has real trouble… Having sat on the Intelligence Committee and having seen the review of emails that went back and forth that developed the list, there’s a glaring problem there that will eventually come out, and I can’t talk about it now, but there was an omission that was given to the Intelligence Committee,”
