Hearing before House Armed Services Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations
MAJOR DEVELOPING STORY:
General Carter Ham To Testify About Benghazi on June 26
Rumors
persist that General Carter Ham was replaced at Africom after the
general made a move to help the U.S. security officials under siege at
the Benghazi consulate and annex. Ham was replaced by Gen. David
Rodriquez on October 18.
“This thing runs very, very deep, and there is something there that is being hidden from the American people.”

Gen. Carter Ham was reportedly forced into retirement either by the Obama regime or Hillary Clinton because of his knowledge about what really happened in Benghazi.
Now
that may come back to bite Obama and Hillary Clinton as Carter Ham will
testify on Benghazi and the lack of military response in front of
Congress on June 26.
For
the first time since the Sept. 11, 2012 Benghazi attacks, the four-star
general in charge of U.S. military assets in the Africa region will
testify before Congress about what happened that night.
The hearing has been scheduled for June 26 at 9:00 a.m. ET and will be held by the House Armed Services Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations.
Although
the hearing will be closed to the public, retired Gen. Carter Ham will
finally be questioned about his oversight of military assets in the
region while dozens of Americans battled extremists for nearly eight
hours in Benghazi on Sept. 11 and 12 . No U.S. military assets other than an unarmed drone were ever provided to assist in the fight.
At
the time of the attack Ham was serving as Commander of AFRICOM and
happened to be in Washington D.C. for meetings. He spent much of the
night in the National Military Command Center, a basement office and war
operations center in the Pentagon.

Comments by Special Ops veteran LTGEN Jerry Boykin USA (ret):
“If
you look at the fact that the commander of the Africa Command, Gen.
Carter Ham, has never been brought in to testify, if you look at the
fact that there are at least 32 survivors of this incident and none of
them have ever been brought in and questioned, if you look at the fact
that one of those 32 is still in Walter Reed and a member of Congress
has visited him twice but he’s never been asked to come across town and
appear before a committee or subcommittee, this is inexcusable and it
reeks of a cover-up of some kind.
This thing runs very, very deep, and there is something there that is being hidden from the American people.
We spent our professional careers doing this kind of thing. We find this to be the breach of a fundamental American value.”
For Boykin, this search for answers ends up at the same place he began: the demand to know why Americans were not rescued from harm’s way.
An election for President and Commander in Chief of the Military must strive to be above reproach. Our public institutions must give the public confidence that a presidential candidate has complied with the election process that is prescribed by our Constitution and laws. It is only after a presidential candidate satisfies the rules of such a process that he/she can expect members of the public, regardless of their party affiliations, to give him/her the respect that the Office of President so much deserves.
