House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) spoke at a Republican fundraising event this week and told a huge whopper
Quote:“We need to have an answer of when the Secretary of Defense had assets that he could have begun spinning up. Why there was not one order given to turn on one Department of Defense asset? I have my suspicions, which is Secretary Clinton told Leon [Panetta] to stand down, and we all heard about the stand down order for two military personnel. That order is undeniable.
"As Hayes Brown noted, Issa’s GOP colleagues on the House Armed Services Committee released a Benghazi report just last week, “which explicitly denied the existence of the order Issa claims happened. ‘There was no ‘stand down’ order issued to U.S. military personnel in Tripoli who sought to join the fight in Benghazi,’ the report says within its first few pages.”
The shift in target from Obama to Clinton is the first shot across the bow of Hillary's probable run for president.
