Hillary Clinton Sued By Parents Of Benghazi Victims In Federal Court | Eastern North Carolina Now

    On Monday, in the midst of her presidential campaign complete with her claims of "short circuiting" and continued deception regarding the FBI's email probe, the Democratic Party's presidential heir apparent found herself the defendant in a federal court case.

    On Monday morning, appearing in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, the heartbroken parents of Benghazi victims (Tyrone Woods and Sean Smith) Charles Woods and the outspoken but ignored Pat Smith, filed lawsuit against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

    Woods and Smith are seeking justice against Clinton for her allegedly causing the death of their sons at the hands of Libyan Islamic terrorists. They are also charging her with defamation as well as intentional and negligent infliction of emotional distress.

    Besides her allowing former Navy SEAL Tyrone Woods, who served as a contract security agent in Libya, and Sean Smith, a foreign service officer with the State Department, to be killed by Islamists, the plaintiff claim Clinton blamed the attack and the killings on a U.S. filmmaker's movie denigrating the Muslim religion and its leader Mohammed. She later denied she told the family members about a film and insinuated they were liars.

    The lawsuit was filed on their behalf by a well-known lawyer and former Justice Department prosecutor Larry Klayman. The nonpartisan government watchdog is the founder of Judicial Watch and now Freedom Watch. (The complaint (Case No. 1:16-CV-01606), can be found at www.freedomwatchusa.org.)

    Upon filing suit, Klayman made a statement to the news media on behalf of the aggrieved parents of the brave men who died for their country in what the survivors call The Battle of Benghazi. "Having used a secret private email server that we now know was used to communicate with Ambassador Christopher Stevens with confidential and classified government information, and which we also now know was likely hacked by hostile adversaries such as Iran, Russia, China and North Korea aligning with terrorist groups, it is clear that Hillary Clinton negligently and recklessly gave up the classified location of the plaintiffs' sons, resulting in a deadly terrorist attack that took their lives," said Klayman.

    Klayman noted that It's no coincidence that covert State Department/CIA operations were being run out of Benghazi. According to Clinton emails released to the public by Judicial Watch, the CIA station in Benghazi was sending Libyan weapons collected by the CIA from their installation to the so-called rebels in Syra who are fighting against President Bashar al-Assad. Eventually these freedom fighters announced their name" Islamic State of Iraq and Syria.

    "To add insult to deadly injury, Hillary Clinton told the plaintiffs that their sons were killed as the result of a video mocking the Islamic prophet Mohammed when she knew that they were murdered by Muslim terrorists. When the families exposed her lies, she called them liars to protect her reputation and to further her own presidential ambitions. She thus defamed the parents of fallen heroes Tyrone Woods and Sean Smith, as well committed other wrongful acts, as alleged in the complaint. "Hillary Clinton has been thus far fortunate, throughout her career, to escape the long arm of the law, believing and acting as if she is above the law. This time, her 'luck' has run out."

    But some observers aren't so sure about the lawsuit. They believe that it's difficult these days to find an honest federal judge who puts integrity ahead of partisanship. Most of the federal judges use legalese to throw out cases, while they allow trivial cases to take up their time on the bench. "After all is said and done, you're dealing with black-robed lawyers who got their positions playing partisan politics," said former New York police detective Sidney Franes.
