State Dept. employees pleaded for help, their lives, in Benghazi attack

Fox News: 'Pleading' distress calls made from US consulate on night of Benghazi attack​

State Department employees at the Benghazi compound knew they were in a death trap and made a series of radio distress calls to the CIA annex during the terror assault last year, according to congressional sources familiar with recent testimony on the attack from five CIA personnel.

Sources told Fox News that the radio calls, which were described in closed testimony before the House Intelligence Committee, were characterized as almost frantic, with State Department employees who knew they could not defend themselves "pleading" for their lives.

When the CIA team arrived from the annex about a mile away, they found the State Department employees without guns that could adequately protect them; one of the agents was found hiding in the consulate, apparently in a closet. The testimony lends more weight to repeated claims, in the wake of the attack, that the consulate was not adequately protected despite being located in a volatile and violent area prone to attack.

These guys knew the attack was premeditated and planned by local terrorist-affiliated groups, and were amazed and angry that the administration blamed the attack, in which Ambassador Chris Stevens was killed, along with embassy information officer Sean Smith and private security officers and ex-SEALS Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty, on a farcical you.tube video.

That the administration could claim this was "spontaneous" is just another indication of their total disassociation from the truth. One of the five who testified behind closed doors last week said that, upon his team's arrival at the consulate compound, five mortar rounds struck the area in less than a minute. Mortars aren't set up "spontaneously."

This whole thing needs to come out, and it's beginning to appear that it will.

It probably wont matter. If it goes public, everyone will suddenly develop memory loss. No one will now remember anything starting from the top down to the grounds keepers.

And if by happenstance someone is found to take the responsibilty he/she will sheepishly confess their self blame on TV and receive a "horizontal promotion" as the punishment.
