After years of trying to dupe the public into believing that "the fog of war" kept her from knowing the truth behind the #Benghazi attacks, @HillaryClinton wrote definitively in her 2014 book "Hard Choices" that it was terrorism as if this was the story she told all along. (1/7)
In an attempt to correct her post-Benghazi narrative which squarely blamed the anti-Islam YouTube video, @HillaryClinton now was emphasizing in her book that she used terms such as "heavily armed militias," "violent attackers," and "extremists." (2/7)
In "Hard Choices" @HillaryClinton wrote that on 9/12/12 she "laid out the facts as we knew them" to the press corps, reporting that "heavily armed militants" had assaulted the #Benghazi compound. But she makes no mention that for the 2nd day in a row she blamed the video. (3/7)
In her book "Hard Choices," @HillaryClinton made the politically expedient choice to not mention that she blamed the video on 9/13/12 when she appeared with Morocco's foreign minister. (4/7)
In her book, @HillaryClinton made the politically expedient choice to not mention that she blamed the video on 9/14/12 when she met with the #Benghazi victims' families and promised to hunt down the filmmaker instead of the people who actually killed their loved ones. (5/7)
In her book, @HillaryClinton attempts to endear herself to the reader by describing herself as a compassionate soul and shoulder to cry on when meeting with the #Benghazi victims' families. She wrote: "All you can do is offer a human touch, a kind word, a gentle embrace." (6/7)
The truth is @HillaryClinton offered nothing but a cold, politically calculated lie to the #Benghazi victims' families when they were most vulnerable. (7/7)

The first public showing of the movie "13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi" was held on 1/12/16 for over 32,000 attendees at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX. @13hours (1/5)
The premier included live interviews by Entertainment Tonight’s @KevinFrazier with some of the people who survived the #Benghazi attacks and some of the actors who protrayed them in the movie. (2/5)

4 months after GRS team members were made to sign new NDAs in an attempt to silence them, then-CIA Director John Brennan wrote a letter to congressional oversight committees denying even presenting the #Benghazi survivors with NDAs to sign. (1/8)
Responding to the question “Has any officer, either staff of contractor, been required to sign any non-disclosure agreement because of their presence at Benghazi or their participation in any activity related to the Benghazi attacks?” Brennan falsely answered "No." (2/8)
Brennan and his defenders changed their story each time their previous claims proved difficult to defend, digging themselves a deeper hole lie after lie: (3/8)
GRS team members Kris Paronto, @JohnTiegen, @MarkGeistSWP and "Jack Silva" were presented with NEW non-disclosure agreements when they attended a ceremony at CIA headquarters in Langley, VA honoring their slain friends Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty on 5/21/13. (1/5)
Shortly before the service began, a CIA representative approached the 4 men and led them away from the public gathering space near the CIA museum through one office, then through another, until they finally arrived at a back room far removed from the ceremony. (2/5)
When the door shut behind them, a CIA official handed each man a small packet of papers and with very little explanation asked them, one by one, to review and sign the documents. As the men began to read the papers it did not take long to realize that they were NDAs. (3/5)
