GOP-controlled Congress investigated 4 dead in Benghazi for 853 days

GOP-controlled Congress investigated 4 dead in Niger for 0 days

WHY?

Why was the 12-man team led by Green Berets told it was 'unlikely' they would run into opposition in #Niger? #InvestigateNiger

Once the ambush broke out, how did the body of Sgt. La David Johnson get left behind in #Niger? #InvestigateNiger

Did Sgt.Johnson survive ambush? When was he killed? Since a "beacon" was emitting from #Niger battlefield wasn’t he alive? #InvestigateNiger

Why did #Niger evacuation plan rely on the French? Why’d it take them 30mins to arrive, team left in firefight w/ no help? #InvestigateNiger

What happened to decision to deploy Navy SEALS for possible rescue? Who rejected it? Why did wounded receive no medic? #InvestigateNiger

What was their mission and why were they there? Who in D.C. requested and authorized this mission, who is responsible? #InvestigateNiger

Why was entire 12-man team underarmed, why were their vehicles underarmored? Which private security contractors fled? #InvestigateNiger

Where was their commander-in-chief and his response? What did he know, when did he know it? Why was he silent for 12 days? #InvestigateNiger

While Trump’s cabinet uses private jets, Green Berets get cheap private contractors for ‘casualty evacuation’ & Sgt.Johnson gets left behind

National Security Council staffers prepared/circulated “statement of condolence” immediately after #Niger, yet Trump NEVER released it. Why?

For 12 days Trump stayed silent on deaths in #Niger. Yet he did however golf 3 days & repeatedly attack NFL, NBC, Bob Corker, & Puerto Rico.

1. There are 6,000 U.S. troops in 53 countries in Africa.

2. Trumplicans control all 3 branches of federal gov’t.
