I don’t suppose it matters anymore what really happened in Benghazi. Our moral, ethical, and intellectual betters want us to move on, and who am I to refuse? But this is an interesting little anecdote, for fans of facts and evidence.

Adam Kredo, Washington Free Beacon:

Newly released emails show that a senior Defense Department official offered the State Department “forces that could move to Benghazi” immediately during the deadly 2012 attack there on the American consulate.

Jeremy Bash, the former Pentagon chief of staff, offered to provide forces at 7:19 p.m. on the evening of the attack, “only hours after they had begun,” according to Judicial Watch, which disclosed the email on Tuesday…

The newly disclosed email contradicts testimony to Congress by Obama administration officials who cited the inability to immediately provide forces in response to the attack.

Yes, it does contradict that testimony. Everything they told us about Benghazi was a lie, and this is just another example. But what you need to understand is that HEY LOOK OVER THERE, TRUMP JUST SPILLED SOUP ON HIS TIE!!!

You go, Hillary. Brush those corpses right the hell off.

Mark Tapscott has more, if it even matters.
