Customer Reviews
Benghazi’s tragedy is still a mystery for you.
This podcast is a waste of time and money if you’re looking for the truth on Benghazi and to be fair everyone who covered Benghazi so far is still missing the real story, it’s not just an assassination or an act of terrorism, yet it’s more about what happened in DC for years before and after when it came to Benghazi.
This is tragic because the real story of what happened is being missed.
Subscription based on a PAID PLATFORM
It’s so frustrating with what’s happening with podcasts lately.
I pay for a streaming subscription yet I asked to pay more to subscribe to individual podcasts.
I just started following this podcast, unfollowed immediately. I didn’t even get a chance to listen and spread the word.
