New documents released from Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi’s computer by purported hacker Guccifer 2.0, reveal democratic talking points to counter Republican Benghazi attacks.

The document casts the controversy surrounding Benghazi as “Legitimate outrage over the deaths of American diplomats mixed with partisanship.” The document also admits that then Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice “gave incorrect information on television” in the immediate aftermath of the attack.

The document’s central talking points revolve around ignoring the facts revealed by congressional investigations, and instead on rhetorical flourishes that emphasize patriotism.

The first talking point focuses solely on the importance of having diplomats in dangerous places, and makes no mention of the specific circumstances of Benghazi.


This tragedy highlights the challenges our diplomats face when they serve as frontline civilians, representing our nation in harm’s way. Isolating America and sequestering these professionals in fortress embassies is not a solution. We must value and support their important work, as well as protecting their physical security.

The second talking point paints any attempt at calling for accountability as “pandering to conspiracy theorists.”


Benghazi is a tragedy, not a scandal. At this point, most public discussion is pandering to conspiracy theorists or harping on the death of an American ambassador to score political points.

The third talking point denigrates the Republican led congress for investigating the specific circumstances involving the events of Benghazi. The talking point also calls for respecting the families of the fallen in Benghazi, in lieu of actually discussing what happened.


These tragic events have been investigated more than the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Reports ordered by a Republican-led Congress have repeatedly debunked conspiracy theories of criminal negligence or cover-ups, and media coverage has exhausted the issue from every angle. Even incoming House Speaker McCarthy admitted the investigations were more about hurting Hillary Clinton than finding truth. We should remember the sacrifice of these Americans, not reduce their names to political talking points.

The final talking point revolves around attacking investigators of the events of Benghazi. The talking point asks recipients to focus on the voting records of rival congressman, rather than discuss the events of Benghazi.


Some of those most determined to keep this story in the news cycle have a history of hypocritical votes against funding diplomacy and development, the very work these Americans died for.

The Democrat party is a continuous conspiracy in action.

So you think the Benghazi attack was the work of a lone gunman? :rolleyes:

Here's all anyone needs to know about Benghazi.

1) Qaddafi had made peace with the U.S. but that witch Hillary decided to take him out anyway.

2) The London Telegraph reported in 2011 that Libya rebel commanders bragged about their Al Qaeda fighters who had killed Americans in Iraq. That didn't stop Hillary from backing the Libyan rebels.

3) Al Qaeda stated prior to the attacks in Benghazi that they would attack the Red Cross, British station and U.S. station. And prior to the attacks on the U.S. buildings they had already carried out the Red Cross and British.

4) Prior to the attacks, the Brits, Red Cross, French and others had pulled out of Benghazi.

5) Ambassador Stevens asked Hillary if he should pull out. She said she thought he was "joking." Some joke!

So, Hillary caused the problem by overthrowing Qaddafi. She was warned that the situation was dangerous. Her response? "It's just one big joke!"

I was not aware that the Secretary of State had such power.


This is part of my problem with people trying to make such an issue of it. There are plenty of things which can be pinned on Hillary, but the collection of accusations made around Benghazi 90% have nothing whatsoever to do with the State Department, the Secretary, or both.

"They were running guns!" Yeah - they who?

"It was a CIA facility!" Yeah, which means it wasn't the State Department's responsibility to secure it

"She ordered the military not to come!" That's not a thing that the Secretary of State can do.


And so on. The problems with the situation - the fact that we were in Libya to begin with, the overthrow of the Qaddafi government, the arms dealings, etc. are not State Department issues. They are broader problems with the federal government.

Well now you know and knowing is half the battle. Hillary Clinton was the architect of the policy to overthrow Qaddafi. Yes Obama had to ultimately sign off on it but it wasn't his idea.

If you want to continue to make that claim after I've given you evidence to the contrary then sure, make that claim. I showed you the video where Hillary said she thought Ambassador Stevens was "joking" when he asked to either have more security or be pulled out. If you think that has nothing to do with Hillary then you just aren't thinking straight.


"They were running guns!" Yeah - they who?

Ask Pulitzer Prize winning reporter Seymour Hersh. But note that I didn't even bring that up so this is a red herring on your part.

"It was a CIA facility!" Yeah, which means it wasn't the State Department's responsibility to secure it

Ummm...you shouldn't comment on things if you are ^that ignorant about it. There were two facilities. Stevens was at a State Department facility. A mile or so away was the CIA facility. CIA contractors, against orders, went to try to rescue Ambassador Stevens when the CIA facility was overrun. The got there too late to save Stevens but they saved others.


"She ordered the military not to come!" That's not a thing that the Secretary of State can do.

Ordering Ambassador Stevens and those who were with him to come home when he asked her if they could leave and she, apparently, thought he was "joking" is something she could have done.



And so on. The problems with the situation - the fact that we were in Libya to begin with, the overthrow of the Qaddafi government, the arms dealings, etc. are not State Department issues. They are broader problems with the federal government.

Again, it was Hillary's plan that was implemented. That is a Hillary issue whether you wish to admit it or not.

Benghazi is a tragedy, not a scandal.

And that right there is the extent of government accountability.

I agree with this. Obama's passions lie in domestic policy. Community organizing, if you will. It isn't hard to see her getting the SOS job precisely because she's an evil bitch who wants to run an empire.

So will you--as a liberal progressive--still vote for her? Or, will you be like the holdouts and vote for The Bern?

There should be unbiased Congressional investigation.
