It just keeps getting stranger and stranger. By the day, by the hour, almost by the minute, the situation regarding the attack in Benghazi devolves into a rabbit hole of questions Obama and his administration just simply refuse to answer.

Remember when the CNN reporter, 4 days after the terrorist attack, entered the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi and emerged with Ambassador Stevens’ personal journal?

Remember how, for 24 days, we struggled to comprehend how a journalist could get there and roam the grounds but, the FBI was “stuck” in Tripoli because Benghazi was deemed to dangerous a place to be?

Remember how, when the FBI finally DID get to Benghazi, they spent all of 8 hours there…”Gathering evidence” and only 2 of those 8 hours actually AT the Consulate?

Well, yesterday we learned yet ANOTHER seemingly off the wall bit of information.

On October 26^th, AFTER the FBI had supposedly been to the Consulate, 2 reporters,  Harald Doornbos and Jenan Moussa from Foreign Policy Magazine, entered the Consulate and what, to their astonished eyes, did THEY find???

Sensitive documents strewn about what remained of the building.

Seriously.

WHAT IN THE HELL IS GOING ON???

Some of those documents outlined concerns by Sean Smith, who died in the attack, regarding the lack of security and the fact that Libyan police who were to have been guarding the Consulate had been, of all things, taking pictures OF the Consulate from a building across the street and, as is now being reported, had actually taken photos of the INSIDE of the Consulate.

Listen. One need not be a rocket scientist to figure this out.

Those photos were being given to those who engineered the attack, Ansar al-Sharia, to help them plan out their strategy FOR the attack.

Here’s what just plain DOESN’T figure.

After an attack that lasted HOURS, after the Consulate being set ablaze, after the CNN team entered and found the journal…AFTER 24 DAYS WITHOUT AN AMERICAN IN SIGHT…And AFTER the FBI had been there to search for evidence…

SENSITIVE DOCUMENTS, COPIES OF CABLES AND EMAILS SENT TO WASHINGTON…are found scattered about???

Nothing about this whole thing in Benghazi passes the smell test but, it’s starting to stink UPwind.

It’s nearly IMPOSSIBLE to believe that the FBI could have been inside that Consulate and NOT found and gathered such documents.

Isn’t that exactly what they were there to do…If indeed they were EVER there at all?

This, of course, adds to the upwind stench and the growing list of questions.

In the 2 days following the attacks, all U.S. personnel were evacuated from Benghazi to Germany.

That would include all U.S. personnel who were at the annex.

That would be the…CIA ANNEX.

So, outside of reporters, Benghazi was American free for 24 days.

We now know, because of documents and cables unearthed by intrepid Fox News reporter Catherine Herridge, that on the very day OF the attack, communications were sent by Ambassador Stevens detailing the urgent need for more security. We also now know, again because of Catherine Herridge, that less than a moth PRIOR to the attack, Stevens sent a detailed plea for help and named 10 different terrorist factions which had taken control OF Benghazi and THAT list included those now directly linked TO the attacks…Ansar al-Sharia.

So, for 24 days, the Consulate and everything inside it was free for the taking by those who would want nothing more than sensitive documents belonging to the United States.

No United States Marines were sent to secure the Consulate or the annex AFTER the attack and, we now know that any call for help or military quick response team ready do deliver that help was ordered to STAND DOWN…DURING the 7 hour attack.

In fact, a Foreign Emergency Support Team with a Special Ops Command element, routinely deployed in instances where a site needs to be secured and an investigation  done…WAS NOT SENT EITHER DURING OR AFTER THE ATTACK.

Such a team would have ushered in the FBI and the investigation could have begun on September 12^th.

And yet, there, scattered about the building, on October 26^th, were sensitive documents?

Last Saturday, in the Weekend Edition, I called and detailed this as treason.

A couple of days ago, as more and more information was uncovered by Catherine Herridge and Jennifer Griffen at Fox News, I stated that those who died were set up to die.

Now, given the most recent revelations, I will take this whole thing a step beyond.

This whole stinky thing smacks of a very, VERY high level covert operation of which neither the CIA nor the FBI are involved.

We know weapons were being run out of the Consulate and there are reports that Ambassador Stevens was involved in that aspect. It is believe that he met with a Turkish diplomat on the evening of 9-11 for that very purpose.

Hours later, Ambassador Stevens and Communications assistant Sean Smith were dead.

Hours after that, the man who disobeyed the stand down orders and another who joined the fight at the annex, Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty were also dead.

Oddly, only the Navy Seal who went to the Consulate and his fellow Navy Seal were killed at the annex…An annex which now housed its own staff and approximately 20 or so people rescued by Woods from the Consulate.

Why?

Why just those 2?

At the Consulate, ONLY Ambassador Stevens and his communications specialist, Sean Smith were killed.

Why just THOSE 2???

Why was the Consulate presented to our enemies as such an easy but high value target?

We now know that, on the very day he died, Stevens did not trust the Libyans who were there, supposedly to protect him as he sent a cable, that day, to Washington as a warning.

Obviously, Stevens was not engaged in covert activity with the Libyans or he would not have feared them.

Could Stevens have been an unwilling participant in the gun running scandal? Could he have been on the verge of blowing the whistle? Is that what he told the Turk he met with that fateful night?

Was the Turk working with Ansar al-Sharia?

Could the Turk have called in the strike as he left the Consulate that night?

We have what surely is treason, we do have a cover-up and now, it certainly is starting to smell of a very, VERY highly orchestrated covert operation.

Adding to all of this is the screaming silence from Obama, his administration and his campaign.

And to think, that for weeks, they thought they could pass this off as the spontaneous result of a stupid You Tube video.

It’s beginning to look like the video story was a fabrication to provide cover for the initial cover-up…The attack…which was meant to eliminate key players in a deeply covert operation. Had the stand down orders NOT been issued, there was a chance that at least SOME of those killed may have lived to tell their story.

I know this is disturbing and deeply so and I also know it delves into an area, conspiracy theory, where I don’t like to go but, knowing what we now know and, perhaps more importantly, knowing what we DON’T know, we are left in the silence of those who must tell the truth to try and piece this together.

I can tell you this, at this point, were I Fox News, I would be providing high level protection for their investigative team. I feel they are on the verge of discoveries that will be both shocking and put them in danger.

Why?

Because they are delving into a story which includes willful acts of treason and a situation where Americans were purposefully allowed to die and given what those responsible are already responsible for, a couple of reporters getting closer and closer to the truth are as expendable to them as were an Ambassador, a communications specialist and 2 former Navy Seals working for the CIA.
