Can someone shine light on this aspect of Benghazi?

I read in the comments section of an article on the emails that the Saudis financed the attack commonly known as Benghazi.

Does anyone have any information on this possibility?

We know that the CIA was running arms out of the embassy. And we know that the Saudis got an arms deal from Hillary's state department after they donated to the Foundation.

What else do we know?

I so hope that Hillary brings up his taxes but I'm willing to bet she won't even go there.

....wherever that truth leads. Corruption is corruption. It has no party. If you don't want to read about the search for truth, don't click on the thread. Simple.

I'm new here and I've learned there are quite a bunch who are pretty close minded and call any criticism of the Democratic Party or candidates is a right wing smear or conspiracy.

and they ended up getting fried.

She made them look stupid with her calm, unflappable demeanor and great answers to everyone of their gotcha questions.

Where were then? Did you miss all of that?

I am not afraid of the truth, no matter where it leads.

I don't watch Republican hearings, though.

All questions were answered, even all the gotcha ones that didn't get anyone but the questioner.

If you have so much interest in Benghazi why wouldn't you watch the hearings?

Matter of fact, what are the lies you keep saying were so blatant?

If they were so blatant I'm sure you can point them out.
