I see you're watching MSNBC now. ;-)

Good for you.

Rachel was the first in my experience to expose Benghazi as an attack.

I suggest you tune in once in a while for genuine, honest commentary on politics, perhaps with a liberal slant, but fact-based.

It won't hurt, and you may even learn something.

Cheers, tom

So what you are saying is that "Rachael" exposed the lies of Clinton, Obama to the United Nations and the official statements of the administration about Benghazi....

Ever wonder what happened to the "filmmaker" who was arrested an imprisoned on a probation on such a minor offense as uploading the movie to YouTube using different name... what danger he was that explains a year in jail? Read the offense yourself below.

Know that the "filmmaker" was arrested 16 days after the attack, an imprisoned - as a "danger to the community". But the ACTUAL terrorist, Abu Khattala, it took 645 days- even though it took fewer than 38 days for the New York Times to find Khattala in broad daylight, and interview him.

RE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nakoula_Basseley_Nakoula

Nakoula has been identified as a key figure behind Innocence of Muslims, an anti-Islamic video posted on YouTube that disparages Islam's prophet Muhammad, and that has been blamed for sparking demonstrations and riots in the Middle East, North Africa,[1] and other regions. After protests against Innocence of Muslims began on 11 September 2012,[35] a man who identified himself as "Sam Bacile", the YouTube poster of the videos, called the Associated Press and the Wall Street Journal.[6] He claimed he had produced a movie titled Innocence of Muslims, which was being promoted on YouTube. He falsely claimed the movie had been funded by $5 million collected from 100 Jewish donors, and that he himself was an Israeli Jew.[6][32]

By 13 September, Nakoula had been linked to the movie and the persona Sam Bacile, by the Associated Press and U.S. federal authorities.[1] The Associated Press reported that the cellphone number that "Bacile" used for an interview matched Nakoula's address,[36][37][38] and among Nakoula's 13 previously known aliases were names which were similar to Sam Bacile (his middle name is Basseley).[3][22] Nakoula denied being Bacile,[36][37][38] but federal law enforcement officials identified Nakoula as the key filmmaker.[22][25][39] Parts of the video appear to have been recorded at Nakoula's home.[40] According to authorities, Nakoula claimed he wrote the script while in prison. He said he was a producer and that the money for it ($50,000-$60,000) came from his wife's family in Egypt.[21][41]
Arrest and imprisonment

Following the violent reactions to the video, Nakoula and his family went into hiding, and the Cerritos home was listed for sale.[18] His attorney has said he has received threats to his safety.[39] On 15 September 2012, federal authorities took Nakoula in for an interview about possible probation violations related to the film's distribution on the internet.[42][43][44][45]

On 27 September 2012, U.S. federal authorities arrested Nakoula in Los Angeles charging eight counts of probation violation.[39][46] Prosecutors alleged that some of the violations included making false statements regarding his role in the film and his use of the alias "Sam Bacile".[5] None of the charges relate to his use of the internet.[39] Following a hearing before a judge, Nakoula was ordered to jail without bail, with the judge citing probation violations including lying to probation officials, "danger to the community" and "lack of trust in the defendant".[4] On 7 November, he pleaded guilty to four of the charges against him in an apparent plea bargain. He was subsequently sentenced to a year in federal prison and four years of supervised release.[14]

On 28 November 2012, an Egyptian court, prior to the ouster of the Muslim Brotherhood-dominated government of Mohamed al-Morsi, sentenced Nakoula, along with several other Coptic Christians, and anti-Islam preacher Terry Jones, all to death, in absentia, for defaming Islam; all of these individuals, however, live outside Egypt.[47][48] A Pakistani railways minister privately offered a $100,000 bounty for the death of Nakoula.[49] [50]

(using an assumed name- especially when a $100,000 "bounty" was issued for his assassination for his exercising "free speech- I fail to see how he posed a "danger to society- maybe you can point it out. )
