FBI-approved book manuscript supports Kash Patel's Benghazi narrative challenged by NY Times

But Patel's account about frustrating efforts to take into custody and prosecute the several suspected attackers is supported by Clarke's manuscript, which chronicled how senior FBI leadership delayed the Pentagon to begin its planning to locate and capture the remaining individuals.
The article from Just The News discusses how the FBI reviewed and approved a book manuscript by former Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, which supports the narrative presented by Kash Patel regarding the Benghazi attack. The manuscript, which was part of McCabe's book "The Threat: How the FBI Protects America in the Age of Terror and Trump," confirms that the CIA had a covert operation in Benghazi that was not disclosed to the public or Congress. This operation involved arming Libyan militias, which aligns with Patel's claims that the CIA was involved in activities that were not fully transparent. The FBI's approval of this manuscript lends credibility to Patel's assertions, suggesting that there was indeed a hidden aspect to the events in Benghazi, potentially involving the transfer of weapons to Syrian rebels, which was not previously acknowledged by the Obama administration.
