New Benghazi whistleblowers are prepared to reveal shocking details about the Sept. 11 terror attack, including why U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens was in Libya to begin with, two former U.S. diplomats reportedly told PJ Media on Monday.
The unidentified whistleblowers are reportedly colleagues of former diplomats and are seeking legal counsel because they “work in areas not fully protected by whistleblower law,” the report adds.
More from PJ Media’s exclusive:
According to the diplomats, what these whistleblowers will say will be at least as explosive as what we have already learned about the scandal, including details about what really transpired in Benghazi that are potentially devastating to both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.
The former diplomats inform PJM the new revelations concentrate in two areas — what Ambassador Chris Stevens was actually doing in Benghazi and the pressure put on General Carter Ham, then in command of U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) and therefore responsible for Libya, not to act to protect jeopardized U.S. personnel.
Stevens’ mission in Benghazi, they will say, was to buy back Stinger missiles from al-Qaeda groups issued to them by the State Department, not by the CIA. Such a mission would usually be a CIA effort, but the intelligence agency had opposed the idea because of the high risk involved in arming “insurgents” with powerful weapons that endanger civilian aircraft.
Hillary Clinton still wanted to proceed because, in part, as one of the diplomats said, she wanted “to overthrow Gaddafi on the cheap.”
One of the most important unanswered questions about the Benghazi attack has been whyStevens was in Benghazi on the anniversary of the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. If the whistleblowers’ information turns out to be credible, it could be a huge break in the investigation into what really happened.
According to PJ Media’s report, Clinton’s plan to reaquire the stinger missiles left Stevens with the responsibility to handle the aftermath of the alleged gun-running operation after it was clear that the “insurgents” in Libya were really radical Islamists aligned with al-Qaeda.
The former diplomat who reportedly talked exclusively with PJ Media, likened the Obama administration’s plan in Libya to the amateurish covert war depicted in the Mike Nochols film, “Charlie Wilson’s War.” The movie tells the story of an arrogant Texas congressman, Charlie Wilson, who supplies Stinger missiles to the Afghan guerillas to help them fight the Soviets.
“It’s as if Hillary and the others just watched that movie and said ‘Hey, let’s do that!’” the diplomat reportedly said.
Oh em gee!!
According to a source close to Ryan, the Wisconsin Republican is working with attorney Bob Barnett to release his first major book next year, and it’ll feature a mix of autobiography, political analysis, and policy prescriptions.
So far, Ryan has been doing the writing by himself. The early theme of the draft is a broad discussion of American renewal, with an emphasis on the Republican future and the party’s need to articulate what he calls the “American idea.”
I predict we’ll feel a lot like this, and often:
Lois Lerner has already said she is going to plead the 5th, so I doubt we will learn anything at all.
There are other people testifying, including the commissioner of the IRS, Douglas Shulman. Even without Lerner, they have provided plenty of PR-GIF moments thus-far!

Doug Schulman is looking really bad.
Rep. Jordan was fantastic.
Wow! This morning’s testimony from Lois Lerner was downright explosive. Not only did she “plead the 5th” and refuse to answer questions, she testified that she did “nothing wrong.”
The contention here is that by testifying that she did nothing wrong, she actually waived her 5th Amendment…

What IRS scandal? What DOJ scandals? Benghazi, huh?
But did you know that the President and First Lady gave amazing, powerful commencement speeches that they’ve shown about 20 times?!
I guess it’s sort of like they patted themselves on the back for being a bit tough last week. This week, though, naturally, they’re going to make up with the Administration. They had the weekend to get over it.
Seems legit.
If he bombed the country and took out a 3rd of its population, I feel like he would STILL have a high approval rating. The hell, America? I understand the economy is improving (A+) but it’s barely in mediocre territory! Is that what we settled for now? Is that what we consider good?
It’s been, what, 6 months? And it still kinda hurts. :/
