The Benghazi Memo (2012) w/ Leon Neyfakh
It’s August 14th. In 2012, on August 16th, a State Department memo was sent regarding the security of the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya. Less than a month later, the compound was attacked, and four Americans died, including Ambassador Chris Stevens. Jody, NIki, and Kellie are joined by Leon Neyfakh, host of FIASCO, to discuss the roots of the deep Benghazi attack — and how the politicization of the incident has completely muddied the waters of understanding why the tragedy occured. Leon reported and hosted the fourth season of FIASCO on the Benghazi incident. Find it on Apple Podcasts or the Luminary app.
