So what does John Boehner know about Benghazi that he’s not telling?

SHOEBAT.COM – Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) appeared on Laura Ingraham’s radio show and discussed the testimony of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton relative to the Benghazi attacks on 9/11. At the end of this clip via the Daily Caller (h/t Diana West), Boehner addresses the question asked of Clinton by Rand Paul, which involved whether or not the CIA Annex was being used as a hub for gun trafficking.

Here is the relevant portion transcribed:

Ingraham: Mr. Speaker, Rand Paul asked a question about funneling perhaps arms from Turkey through that CIA Annex to be shipped ultimately to Syrian rebels. Hillary Clinton – there was about four or five beats before she answered the question. Do you know anything about this and have you been briefed on any possibilities…?

Boehner: I’m somewhat familiar with the chatter about this and the fact that these arms were moving toward Turkey but most of what I know about this came from a classified source and really can’t elaborate on it.

If Boehner knows, what are the odds Hillary doesn’t know four months after the attacks?

Also, if Boehner knows that Hillary either knows now or knew then, he knows that she lied in Congressional testimony.

As a member in good standing of the "good old boy club" of DC insiders, Boehner will NEVER rat out ANYONE in politics in DC. He, like almost every other politician in DC, is out to line his own pockets while controlling the drooling masses known as "serfs". We the People are not represented by our Congress and will be treated like the slaves of the State we have let ourselves become until we stand up and fight back.

Lock and load, the seond American Revolution is coming.

This used to be "blood in the water" to some shark journalist looking to make a name for themselves. Unfortunately, journalists today have become advocates and defenders of one political party and worldview. They will never pursue even obvious scandals against Democratics, while inventing unfounded scandal against Republicans. How different would this country look today if we had an honest news media for the last 25 years!

Remember the other day when Panetta made this comment?

Panetta: “Well, I can assure you, Barbara, that if we find out who the perpetrators were. we’re going to go after them,”

Really?

"What difference does it make"???? ***we have 4 dead Americans and our government does not care these men died that day. So....why should we feel they CARE about any American citizen?

How can we expect any of them to get to the truth if all branches of government are involved? I have never experienced such a corrupt government in my lifetime and I thought LBJ was bad, this administration is making him look like "small potatoes"!

Dear God, Boehner has covered up for Fast and Furious and now we find out he knows they are arming Al Qaeda? Just what side is Boehner working for? I won't vote Republican again. After seeing the clip from Hannity with Steve Bannon, I want nothing to do with the likes of Boehner and the rest of that bunch. I'll only vote for someone not tied to the old guard. They're corrupt.

Boehner has been in the bag for this administration since 2010. All his bluster is fluff and he should have been voted out as speaker a month ago. But, they got to those that could vote him out and changed their minds because Boehner is on the hook for some reason and the pretender is not in the mood to change lap dogs at this time. And that is exactly what Boehner is; never mind the bs bravado he's been spouting. He is a very large part of the treason going on in DC.

it has been common knowledge that guns were smuggled by obama into lybia, i think stevens and the other three men knew about it and had to be done away with so obamas high crimes would be covered up... he will get his due in time, hell for sure

The purpose of the attack on Bngaz was to keep the weapons earmarked for Syria in country for efforts in N. Africa and Mali, where the turbin cowboys hope to establish their own state. This is another "Fast & Furious" coverup by B.O. and his ilk....

Let me try to understand. The Secretary of State can lie to the Senate and the American people if it is classified. Hum... Sounds imperialistic to me.

I haven't read all the posts here, but I have listened to the interview. Boehner refers specifically to "these arms", not arms (in general) not supposed arms (disclaimer) but "these arms" a specific reference to specific arms.

To me this says they exist. To me this says they are specific arms shipped to a specific group for a specific purpose.

As I said, I have not read all the posts here so If anyone has brought this point up before now I apologize.

You know, that was a key catch. Politicians are ever so specific on what they say (eg, the definition of 'is'). He should normally have said something vague when dealing with classified information, but he didn't. It seems pretty clear. Nice job.

The Benghazi Congressional hearings with Hillary were a farce. They are just a dog and pony show to appease the American people that "something" was done. She answers the way she wants and the questions are softballs. If it gets too hot and heavy (because of an honest Congressman asking the questions), then the "it's classified" card is pulled out or they say we'll get back to you with written statements (which they never do or we never see).

Well, I'm thinking, if the government did something illegal (like gun-running), that is not classified in my opinion. If people like Boehner know about what went on and aren't talking because it's classified, then they are all complicit and should be held accountable.

Somebody has to be held accountable. If none of them are accountable to the American people, then what kind of government do we have, but a Dictatorship and Tyranny. I'm tired of the dog and pony show. Showtime is over. Eventually, We the People are going to have to take matters into our own hands, if they won't do it in Congress.

Philosophically speaking; there is a giant bubble over D.C. The people on the inside peering out with a great big smirk on their faces. Making deals to enrich themselves and throwing a few scraps the constituents back home in the way of pork projects.

The idea of public service to a great nation has been soiled a long time ago. I don't know if this will blow over in time with Obama or get nasty.

Only time will tell.

I want to say that a single tactical nuke would take care of the situation (and still be fertile land within 10,000 years), but that sounds too much like terrorism and certainly not the way to go. But we do need to get rid of most of them (in a political way) to turn this thing around.

What I find interesting is that DC has gun control (to protect the tyrannical gov't of course) and when you look at the blue states surrounding it there is a direct tie to gov't contracts.

Many are already prepared. It starts locally and moves outward. I'm not writing a battleplan on a website, but if you don't think we need to be in control, then you're not a part of it. We have a corrupt government. Look around. Talk to people. Pull your collective heads out of the sand.

I've addressed a three point plan before to take out the media, defang the progressive RINOs, and assure the elections. Push comes to shove with the 2nd amendment and we have a revolution on our hands. Everybody has to be prepared. Are you?

I am here to learn at a fast and furious rate about many things to which I have not been paying attention. At the same time, I am trying to funnel information to ones near and dear in my own family who know nothing or next to it about all of this, who I am hoping will tell certain friends they are close to, etc. There is no time to waste if we care about anyone or anything. I do this with a confidence that every seed planted and every effort will bear some kind of good fruit. We have to do this in faith. And mighty thank you for all you do--it inspires me greatly.

What are you, a sheeple? Think for yourself. Stop asking others what they can have you do. The talk I was referring to was not to the choir. Get the uninformed informed; turn the low information voter into high information people; pass videos of Levin, Malkin, Limbaugh, Palin, PJMedia and on and on, around the social networks.

If you don't like that, go next door and kick your liberal neighbor in the shins, if you like. But don't just stand there with your socks in your hand wondering what we can tell you what to do. Stop whining and start winning.

A+ for emotion and drive. Not sure about execution, however. "Talk to People". Really? talk is cheap. I'm sicking of going to Tea Party meetings where all they DO is talk. No one does anything in a "collective" manner. In fact, I don't like that term, for some reason. This is what bothers me....we have a lot of passionate patriots going off half-cocked and they get picked off overnight when Obama claims civil disobedience. It's not that simple. Am I ready? For now.

If Boehner knows Hillary lied I hope he is going to pursue it through Congress. Next question; what does he know about Obama??????

Conniption Fitz

Benghazi was NOT a Consulate as such. It was a CIA outpost that Obama/Hillary/Panetta, et al used to funnel guns to the 'Muslim Bro-hood' which is in reality AlQueda and Hamas and Hezbollah.

There is no reason to arm or fund these crazies. NONE. Except Obama is probably a closet 'Twelver' looking for the Mahdi, hoping to establish the Caliphate, make the US an Islamic State, wreak hate, destruction, vengeance on the Infidel, whitey, Israel, Jews, etc.

This would explain everything, wouldn't it.

I have been reading books that come right before my eyes, literally, when I walk into my favorite used bookstore recently. I am on a curriculum from the Lord it appears, and I don't want to take it lightly. I just looked up these things you mentioned and I admit I am a little bit frustrated that not only did I not learn about Biblical prophecy in any of the many churches I have been in (I have a tendency to explore), but neither did I learn about any Islamic prophecy, which it now seems may be important/useful to know. I will explore this further also. Especially intrigued that they foresee Jesus coming from heaven and fighting with great power with an army of the righteous against a leader of evil! While also believing they have to destroy the church along with the Jews. It adds to my understanding of the degree of their fervor, and the depth of their confusion.

Obama being the most massively confused of all, but boldest to step out on it anyway.

We have to learn at a fast and furious pace all we can. I have a question. I have read a few writers of prophecy, including Dr. Michael Evans, the writer of Left Behind (can't remember his name at the moment), and now Dr. Walid Shoebat from following this site. I hope you don't mind my putting you on the spot with this, but I was wondering if you could tell me which approach you put most stock in? Just a lttle nudge would be sufficient.

Thank you for all you are doing, on behalf of myself and my family.

Apologies that this is O/T but there is No open thread yet and I think this info needs to be out there far and wide so here goes:

I never used Groupon, and now I never will: I read this on Twitter a little while ago:

Groupon has stopped all current and future gun-related deals.

Some poster, and I won't use that poster's name here in case I get in trouble for posting this at all replied to me in part:

I could not find a way to cancel my account so I contacted Customer support. Here is the link: https://www.groupon.com/support

I told them it is their choice to do this in a free market and my choice not to do business with a company that succumb to government pressure because that is the beginning of the end of free enterprise.

Thanks again for the heads-up.

Now you know and hopefully understand my urgency in posting this here.

Are you suggesting or implying that you want people to short the stock?

Shorting the stock is one thing, review your portfolio and if you hold any, dump it. Be sure to look at your 401(k) and if one of your funds includes it, change funds.

I am good with that. These are the important things now - we are under attack. Gun control is the tipping point for them - make no mistake.

It is clear that Soros and his minions are doing this just like they are putting bank pressure on big gunmakers and lethal pressure on small ones.
