On 5/3/17 US House Resolution 2315 was introduced, seeking to posthumously honor the four victims of the #Benghazi attacks with the Congressional Gold Medal. The medal is given to individuals that have made a mark in American history or culture. (1/6)
The "Dear Colleague" letter describing H.R. 2315 reads as follows: “In view of the recent sixth anniversary of the September 2012 terrorist attack on the U.S Consulate and classified annex in Benghazi, Libya, (2/6)
it is important that Congress recognize those brave individuals that sacrificed their lives to defend our great nation and its values. To this end, we have introduced bipartisan legislation, H.R. 2315, to posthumously award (3/6)
the Congressional Gold Medal to Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, former Navy Seal Glen Doherty, former Navy Seal Tyrone Woods, and U.S. State Department Officer Sean Smith in recognition of their lifetime commitment to the safety and security of the American people." (4/6)
On 12/15/20, Senate Bill 2054 to posthumously award the Congressional Gold Medal to Doherty, Woods, Stevens and Smith was passed. It now must be passed by the House via its Bill H.R. 587. As of today, no progress has been made. (5/6)
Michael Ingmire @VoodooWolf is Sean Smith's uncle and has relentlessly pursued the truth behind the #Benghazi attacks and the cover-up by the Obama Administration. He is tracking the progress of H.R. 587. Much of his writing can be found on politichicks.com. (6/6)

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)

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)
