The headlines say that then-President Barack Obama hid 470,000 documents seized during the raid on Osama bin Laden’s compound. Only 17 hand-picked documents were released to create a narrative that Al Qaeda was defeated. We now know, empirically, that that was a lie. The narrative was a lie to facilitate Obama’s re-election. Now the documents are being studied. This will not look good on Barack’s resume or in his legacy.

Hayes writes, “Why would ODNI think it could get away with such an aggressive lie? … In this context, ODNI’s bet wasn’t a crazy one. No one outside of a small group of terrorism researchers and intelligence professionals had paid much attention to the fate of the bin Laden documents. The likelihood that these ODNI claims would get much scrutiny in the middle of the frenzy that accompanies a presidential transition was low.”
He continues:
In the spring of 2012, with the Republican presidential primaries nearing an end and shortly before the first anniversary of the successful raid on bin Laden’s compound, Obama’s National Security Council hand-picked 17 …….
