Benghazi News
Fake News' Fake 'Benghazi Expert’ Wayne Simmons Pleads Guilty to Defrauding Government.
Simmons, who claimed he "spent 27 years working for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)," pleaded guilty "to major fraud against the government, wire fraud, and a firearms offense."
“Simmons was a frequent guest on Fox News, appearing on the network dozens of times purporting to be a former CIA operative.” Of course, when he was arrested, Fox News immediately pretended that while he had appeared on the network as a “national security and terrorism expert,” he “was never employed by the channel and was never paid by Fox.”
Simmons, Fox News’ go-to “Benghazi expert,” was the perfect “expert” for the right wing propaganda machine, a guy who had absolutely no idea what he was talking about but was willing to tell people what they wanted to hear, a fault he shares with just about every Republican who opens his mouth these days, from the unholy trinity at the top of Trump, Cruz, and Kasich, all the way down to governors, lawmakers, and pundits.

Re: Benghazi News
Pentagon gives Trey Gowdy's Benghazi committee a good callin' down.
‘Unproductive,’ ‘unfair,’ ‘unfortunate'
A top Defense Department official is criticizing the House Benghazi committee’s investigation as wasteful and inefficient, while questioning whether the panel’s final report will be based in fact.
Example: Some guy identifying as “John from Iowa. called into the radio show of "shovel faced" host Sean Hannity in May 2013.
"John from Iowa"( no relation to "Bread Bag Joanie from Iowa") claimed he was a drone camera operator who saw what happened in Benghazi on the night of the attacks.
He also complained that neither Congress nor the administration had interviewed him. Hedger said the Defense Department “expended significant resources to locate anyone who might match the description of this person, to no avail.” But then committee staff expanded their request for officials to find all drone pilots and sensor operators who operated in the region that night — a search Hedger called “time-intensive,” to say the least.
