VIDEO-Benghazi bombshell | Examiner.com

If this story checks out, Hillary Clinton will be justified in worrying about never being president. Picture this setting. Picture Trey Gowdy sitting in the chairman's chair for the House Select Committee on Benghazi. Imagine a whistleblower sitting in a chair preparing to testify that the Air Force might have been able to stop the second wave of terrorist attacks in Benghazi on the night of September 11, 2012.

Finally, picture this whistleblower saying "I definitely believe that our aircraft could have taken off and got there in a timely manner, maybe three hours at the most, in order to basically at least stop that second mortar attack and have those guys running for the hills."

If Chairman Gowdy gets his way, it might not require people's imaginations. It might just require a TV. The Washington Examiner's Joel Gerhke is reporting that an "Air Force whistleblower says his team could have provided reinforcements to the Americans under attack in Benghazi in September 2012, contrary to the Obama administration's claims that the military provided the maximum possible support for the embattled diplomatic staff."

What happened that night was a national disgrace. President Obama and Hillary Clinton let the people serving our nation under Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens' command die needlessly. We'll never know if Christopher Stevens, information management officer Sean Smith or Navy Seals Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods could've been saved. The most that can be said is that it might've been possible.

What's known is that Mark Geist, Kris Paronto and John Tiegen wanted to save them but weren't given permission to rescue them. We know that thanks to Kris Paronto's public presentations.

According to Paronto's presentation, Geist, Paronto and Tiegen wanted to save the people at the diplomatic outpost. Couple that with what this Air Force whistleblower is saying and the puzzle starts taking shape.

Based on this whistleblower's statements and Kris Paronto's credible, detailed presentation, it isn't a puzzle that will paint Mrs. Clinton in a flattering light. This won't be an easy pickle for Mrs. Clinton to get out of.

First, Mrs. Clinton loses if she or some of her surrogates attack an Air Force officer and a former Army Ranger. Attacking military veterans is like walking through a mine field ... while wearing snow shoes. Chances are, you won't make it out unscathed.

Next and most importantly, these officers have served in the heat of battle. They're articulate and fearless. That means that they're likely to be highly credible witnesses. If Mrs. Clinton or her surrogates attack this whistleblower, things could get ugly very fast for Mrs. Clinton.
