Another BENGHAZI FRAUD ALERT! Fox News = Fake News = PROPAGANDA!


When do Americans label PROPAGANDA for what it is?

Simmons Was A Frequent Guest On Fox News

Simmons Appeared On Fox News Dozens Of Times. According to a Nexis search, Simmons has made dozens of appearances on Fox News since 2004. He was regularly identified as a former CIA operative. 
Fox News Declined To Comment On Simmons' Arrest Because He Was Not A "Fox News Contributor." CNN reported that "Fox News spokesperson Irena Briganti told CNN that he 'was never a contributor for Fox News,' and that he appeared on the network only as a non-paid guest. She therefore declined to comment further." During an April 22 appearance on Fox News Radio, host Brian Kilmeade incorrectly called Simmons a "Fox News contributor." A Fox News spokesperson told The Huffington Post that "Kilmeade falsely identified Simmons as a contributor."

Wayne Simmons, Right-Wing Media's Benghazi Expert, Declared Fraud By Federal Prosecutors

Research 

Wayne Simmons has been arrested after a federal grand jury indicted him on "charges of major fraud against the United States, wire fraud, and making false statements to the government," including allegedly falsely claiming he worked for the CIA. Simmons was a frequent and favorite guest on Fox News, and was one of the conservative media's purported experts on the 2012 Benghazi attacks. Simmons joined several prominent conservative activists and media figures in calling for the House to convene a Benghazi Select Committee.

Federal Prosecutors: Wayne Simmons Falsely Claimed He Worked For CIA

Wayne Simmons Is A Conservative Commentator. Simmons' website claimed he was part of the CIA's "Outside Paramilitary Special Operations Group." He also has written for Human Events and appeared regularly on Fox News. [WayneSimmons.us, accessed 10/15/15; HumanEvents.com, accessed 10/15/15]
U.S. Attorney's Office: "Simmons Falsely Claimed He Worked As An 'Outside Paramilitary Special Operations Officer' For The Central Intelligence Agency." A press release from the U.S Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Virginia stated:
Wayne Shelby Simmons, 62, of Annapolis, Maryland, a former occasional on-air commentator who appeared on a cable news network, was arrested today after being indicted by a federal grand jury on charges of major fraud against the United States, wire fraud, and making false statements to the government.
According to the indictment, Simmons falsely claimed he worked as an "Outside Paramilitary Special Operations Officer" for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) from 1973 to 2000, and used that false claim in an attempt to obtain government security clearances and work as a defense contractor, including at one point successfully getting deployed overseas as an intelligence advisor to senior military personnel.  According to the indictment, Simmons also falsely claimed on national security forms that his prior arrests and criminal convictions were directly related to his supposed intelligence work for the CIA, and that he had previously held a top secret security clearance.  The indictment also alleges that Simmons defrauded an individual victim out of approximately $125,000 in connection with a bogus real estate investment.

Conservatives Turned To Simmons For Benghazi Expertise

Conservative Activists Joined With Simmons To Demand A Benghazi Select Committee. A March 5, 2014, letter signed by Simmons and other conservative activists urged House Speaker John Boehner to "create a House Select Investigative Committee on Benghazi -- fully resourced with staff and subpoena powers -- to conduct a thorough, coordinated investigation." Boehner announced plans to form a select committee on May 2, 2014, and the House approved it on May 8, 2014. Activists who signed on to the letter with Simmons included Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton, Fox News contributor Thomas McInerney, Fox News contributor Allen West, Center for Security Policy president Frank Gaffney, Veterans for a Strong America president Joel Arends, Secure America New president Allen Roth, Ginni Thomas, and Freedom Center president David Horowitz.
