Hat Tip, WND (World Net Daily) News
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., told a radio interviewer today he doubts former Secretary of State Hillary Clintons claims about not having knowledge of weapons t***sfers when asked about the matter during sworn testimony in a Senate hearing on B******i.
During the hearing in March, in response to a question from Paul, Clinton stated she did not know whether the U.S. mission in Libya was procuring or t***sferring weapons to Turkey and other Arab countries.
Those weapons t***sfers were allegedly intended to arm the rebels fighting in Syria.
Yet a New York Times report claimed that since early 2012, the CIA has been helping Arab governments and Turkey obtain and ship weapons to the Syrian rebels.
Im concerned about the veracity of how she responded, Paul told Aaron Klein Investigative Radio on New Yorks WABC Radio.
The alleged arms t***sfer actually mirrors one the Times reported in February as being proposed by Clinton herself. The Times described Clinton as one of the driving forces advocating for arming the Syrian rebels via Turkish and Arab cutouts.
The Times reported Clinton and then-CIA Director David Petraeus had concocted the plan, which called for vetting rebels and arming Syrian fighters with the assistance of Arab countries.
If Clinton knew about the arms t***sfers at the time of the hearing, she may have committed perjury during her B******i testimony.
Paul told Klein the Times article shows Hillary Clinton was the big cheerleader for arming Syria when there [were] two factions within the Obama administration arguing this. Hillary Clinton was the one cheering them on to get weapons.
She was the hardliner that wanted to get involved in the war in Syria, and yet in the hearing she says, oh, she never heard of this, Paul said. I find that hard to believe.
Continued Paul: And after Clappers coming to Congress and lying because he said it was classified, my question to Hillary Clinton is, Did you lie to Congress simply because it was a classified program, or were you telling the t***h? And I really kind of doubt the secretary of State has no knowledge that the CIA is facilitating weapons to Syria.
