Glen Doherty’s family suing Obama State Department over Benghazi. The lawsuits (two in total) are being led by Glen Doherty’s mother, Barbara. According to the AP, She filed a claim with the two government agencies last week seeking one million dollars in each suit. The lawsuits are being filed against the CIA and State Department, for wrongful death. Doherty’s friend and executor of his estate, Sean Lake, filed a separate claim seeking a little over $1 million. I hope they win and expose Obama and Hillary Clinton for their lack of security, concern and lies.

This is your legacy Hillary Clinton!
Doherty, a former Navy Seal, grew up in Winchester, Massachusetts, and was 42 when he died. He was among four Americans, including the US ambassador to Libya, who were killed in Benghazi when militants stormed the diplomatic post on 12 September 2012, and later fired on a nearby CIA compound.
Separately, Doherty’s family and Lake filed a lawsuit in state court in California last week over a death benefit on a policy Doherty was required to take out as a CIA contractor who performed security work overseas in hazardous areas. The lawsuit claims that the broker was negligent because its staff failed to tell Doherty that the policy was essentially worthless to him, as it would only pay a death benefit if he had a dependent such as a wife or child. Doherty was divorced with no children.
Dean Boyd, a spokesman for the CIA, said the agency would have no comment. The State Department also declined to comment.
Michael Mortenson, a California attorney representing the Doherty family and Lake, said that under federal law, the claims for damages are required before a lawsuit against the government can be filed. Mortenson said that if the claims are denied, they may file a lawsuit within six months.
