Kris Paronto the "Liar of Benghazi"
Benghazi is back in the news with word of Kris Paronto's threat against former President Obama on Fox News.
Paronto is the most prominent of the three "Liars of Benghazi", who claim the CIA Chief of Base in Benghazi gave them an order not to go assist the diplomatic mission which was under attack by Ansar Al Sharia. However, Paronto, testified before Congress that he didn't actually hear the Chief's order calling off the rescue mission.
Mark Geist is also one of the three "Liars of Benghazi." He also testified that he didn't actually hear the Chief's stand down order.
John Tiegen is the only of of the three liars who claims he actually heard the Chief stand down the rescue mission.
The CIA Chief of Base at the CIA Annex testified that he didn't issue a stand down order and never used the words, "stand down."
The CIA Deputy Chief of Base testified that the Chief approved the rescue mission, "instantly on the spot...without equivocation."
The CIA Security Team Leader testified that he never heard the Chief issue a stand down order.
My conclusion is that Tiegen's claim that the Chief issued a stand down order is hogwash.
