Hillary Clinton in Hot Water Again!

1 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA PATRICIA SMITH,
San Diego, California and CHARLES WOODS, Portland, Oregon Plaintiffs, v. HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON, 3067 Whitehaven St. NW Washington, D.C., 20008 Defendant. Case No: 1:16-cv-01606 COMPLAINT I. INTRODUCTION. Plaintiffs Patricia (hereafter “Pat Smith”) Smith and Charles Woods are the parents of Sean Smith and Tyrone Woods, respectively, each of whom were killed by Islamic terrorists during the attack on the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya on September 11, 2012. Hillary Rodham Clinton (“Defendant Clinton”), who was the U.S. Secretary of State at the time, has since been found to have used a private e-mail server to send and receive confidential and classified government information, often concerning matters of national security, during her tenure. “

In fact, Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (“FBI”), James Comey, publicly stated that Defendant Clinton, at a minimum, was “extremely careless” in handling confidential and classified government information and “there is evidence of potential violations of the statutes regarding the handling of classified information.”
It is highly probable, given Defendant Clinton’s history of reckless handling of classified information, that Defendant Clinton, as Secretary of State, sent and received information about 2 Ambassador Christopher Stevens and thus the U.S. Department of State activities and covert operations that the deceased were a part of in Benghazi, Libya.
This information was compromised from the second that it left Defendant Clinton’s private e-mail server and easily found its way to foreign powers including, but not limited to Russia, Iran, China, and North Korea. As a direct result of Defendant Clinton’s reckless handling of this classified, sensitive information, Islamic terrorists were able to obtain the whereabouts of Ambassador Christopher Stevens and thus the U.S. State Department and covert and other government operations in Benghazi, Libya and subsequently orchestrate, plan, and execute the now infamous September 11, 2012 attack.1 From the illegal use of Defendant Clinton’s private email server, it was reasonably foreseeable that Islamic terrorists would premeditatedly kill Plaintiffs’ sons.

Immediately after the attack, Defendant Clinton, in an effort to save the re-election chances of President Barack Obama, and in turn, her own chances at the 2016 Presidency, lied to Plaintiffs and the public at large that the Benghazi Attacks were caused by Islamic reaction over an anti-Muslim YouTube video that had been posted on the internet.
These lies were perpetrated despite the fact that she knew immediately that this video
was actually not the cause of the attack—information that she shared with the
Prime Minister of Egypt and her own daughter, Chelsea Clinton, but hid from Plaintiffs and the public at large. Defendant Clinton even promised Plaintiffs that the person responsible for the video would be arrested.
Plaintiff Woods recorded the conversation with Defendant Clinton contemporaneously in his diary, which he has recorded in for many years.
Now, Defendant Clinton, in an attempt to save her reputation and intimidate Plaintiffs and their surviving family members into silence as she attempts to be elected President in the November, 2016 election, has gone on a defamatory smear campaign to paint Plaintiffs as

7. Plaintiffs have standing to bring this action because they have been directly affected and victimized by the unlawful conduct complained herein. Their injuries are proximately related
to the conduct of Defendant Hillary Rodham Clinton. V. FACTS.
8. Defendant Hillary Rodham Clinton (“Defendant Clinton”) served as U.S. Secretary of State from 2009 until 2013. 9. During her tenure as Secretary of State, Defendant Clinton utilized a
private email server to conduct official government business, including but not limited to,
sending and receiving thousands of e-mails regarding matters of national security, including information that has been categorized as “top secret”, “secret”, and “confidential”.2
10. After an investigation into Defendant Clinton’s private e-mail server,
the Director of the FBI, James Comey, publicly declared that Defendant Clinton had,
at a minimum, been “extremely careless” in handling confidential and classified government information and acknowledged that “there is evidence of potential violations of the statutes regarding the handling of classified information.”3 2 Alicia Parlapiano,

“Extremely Careless,” but FBI advises no charges for Clinton’s emails,
USA TODAY (July 5, 2016) available at:
http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2016/07/05/james-comey-fbi-hillaryclinton/ 86702072/ 5 11. There still remain thousands of e-mails sent and received by Defendant Clinton
using her private email server during her tenure as Secretary of State
that have not been released.
4
12. Defendant Clinton’s own campaign spokesman, Jake Sullivan, has even acknowledged the national security implications of Defendant Clinton’s private e-mail server when he, in an official press release discussing the e-mails, stated, “[t]his has gone from being a curiosity, and a matter
of politics, to being a national security issue.”5 13. Defendant Clinton’s private e-mail server
was, in fact, the subject of hacking from [Russia] Iran, China, South Korea, and Germany.
6 14. Related to this, Defendant Clinton personally accused Russian intelligence services of hacking into Democratic National Committee computers concerning Defendant Clinton’s presidential campaign, stating that, “We know that Russian intelligence services hacked into the DNC and
we know that they arranged for a lot of those emails to be released and we know that
Donald Trump has shown a very troubling willingness to back up Putin, to support Putin.”
7 Thus the Russians logically hacked Defendant Clinton’s private email server as well.
15. During her tenure as Secretary of State, Defendant Clinton utilized her private email server
to send and receive information about the location of Ambassador Christopher Stevens and
thus the U.S. Department of State and the covert Central Intelligence Agency

6 (“CIA”) and other government operations in Benghazi, Libya. This information was intercepted by foreign powers, including but not limited to, Russia, Iran, China, and North Korea.
16. Islamic terrorists obtained the information sent and received by Defendant Clinton about the location of Ambassador Christopher Stevens and thus the U.S. Department of State and the covert CIA and other government operations in Benghazi and used it to plan, orchestrate, and carry out the horrific and devastating attack on the American diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya on September 11, 2012 (“Benghazi Attack”), resulting in the death of four Americans, including Sean Smith and Tyrone Woods.
17. The Benghazi Attack was a directly and proximately caused, at a minimum, by Defendant Clinton’s “extreme carelessness” in handling confidential and classified information, such as the location of Ambassador Christopher Stevens and thus the U.S. Department of State and the covert CIA and other government operations in Benghazi.
18. After the Benghazi Attack, Defendant Clinton attempted to blame an anti-Muslim YouTube video for inciting the Benghazi Attack. On September 11, 2012, Defendant Clinton stated in a Press Statement, “Some have sought to justify this vicious behavior as a response to inflammatory
material posted on the Internet.”8 Again, on September 12, 2012, in a public speech, Defendant Clinton states, “Some have sought to justify this vicious behavior, along with the protest that took place at our Embassy in Cairo yesterday, as a response to inflammatory material posted on the internet.”
9
19. On September 14, 2012, Defendant Clinton met privately with the family members of the
four Americans who were killed during the Benghazi Attack, including Plaintiffs

September 12, 2012, available at
https://blogs.state.gov/stories/2012/09/12/secretary-clinton-delivers-remarks-deaths-uspersonnel- benghazi-libya 7 Pat Smith and Charles Woods (“Woods”) at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland.
During the private meeting, Defendant Clinton lied to Plaintiffs and told Plaintiffs that the
Benghazi Attack was the result of the anti-Muslim YouTube video that had been posted online
and that the creator of the video would be arrested. 20. Woods contemporaneously recorded this September 14, 2012 interaction with Defendant Clinton by writing in his diary, stating that “I gave Hillary a hug and shook her hand, and she said we are going to have the film maker arrested who was responsible for the death of my son.”
21. Indeed, Nakoula Basseley Nakoula was later prosecuted and jailed for making the anti-Muslim YouTube video that Defendant Clinton claimed caused the Benghazi Attack.10
22. Since the conclusion of her tenure as Secretary of State, Defendant Clinton has formally announced her long-planned and orchestrated candidacy for President of the United States of America in the November, 2016 election and has now successfully secured the nomination of the Democratic party.
23. During her campaign for President, Defendant Clinton has negligently, recklessly, and/or maliciously defamed Plaintiffs by either directly calling them liars, or by strongly implying that they are liars, in order to protect and enhance her public image and intimidate and emotionally harm and silence them to not speak up about the Benghazi attack on at least four separate occasions.
These occasions include, but are not limited to: (a) December 6, 2015 – Interview with ABC’s
George Stephanopoulos – Defendant Clinton flat out falsely denied telling the families of
Benghazi victims that the YouTube video caused the attack. After George 10 Rico Lowry,
The Benghazi Patsy, POLITICO, (May 9, 2013), available at:

http://www.politico.com/story/2013/05/the-benghazi-patsy-091101

8 Stephanopoulos asked Defendant Clinton, “Did you tell them it was about the film?”,
Defendant Clinton responded, “No. You know, look I understand the continuing grief at the loss
that parents experienced with the loss of these four brave Americans. And I did testify, as you know, for 11 hours. And I answered all of these questions. Now, I can’t — I can’t help it the people
think there has to be something else there. I said very clearly there had been a terrorist group,
uh, that had taken responsibility on Facebook, um, between the time that, uh, I – you know,
when I talked to my daughter, that was the latest information; we were, uh, giving it credibility.
And then we learned the next day it wasn’t true. In fact, they retracted it. This was a fast-moving series of events in the fog of war and I think most Americans understand that.”
11 (b) December 30, 2015 – Conway Daily Sun Editorial Board Meeting – Defendant Clinton directly branded Plaintiffs as liars. After Conway Daily Sun columnist Tom McLaughlin pointed out discrepancies in Defendant Clinton’s private and public comments about the cause of the
Benghazi Attack, and referenced Defendant Clinton’s interview with George Stephanopoulos
where Defendant Clinton denies telling Plaintiffs that the Benghazi Attacks were caused by the YouTube video, McLaughlin asks, “Somebody is lying. Who is it?”.
Clinton responds, “Not me, that’s all I can tell you.”

9 (c) March 9, 2016 – Democratic Presidential Debate – When asked about Plaintiff Smith’s
allegation that Defendant Clinton lied to her by blaming the Benghazi Attack on the YouTube video, Defendant Clinton responded by saying, “I feel a great deal of sympathy for the families of the four brave Americans that we lost at Benghazi, and I certainly can’t even imagine the grief that she has for losing her son, but she’s wrong. She’s absolutely wrong.”
13 (d) July 31, 2016 – Interview with Chris Wallace of Fox News Sunday – Defendant Clinton stated, “Chris, my heart goes out to both of them. Losing a child under any circumstances, especially in
this case, two State Department employees, extraordinary men both of them, two CIA contractors gave their lives protecting our country, our values. I understand the grief and the incredible sense of loss that can motivate that. As other members of families who lost loved ones have said, that’s not what they heard, I don’t hold any ill feeling for someone who in that moment may not fully recall everything that was or wasn’t said.”
14 24. In fact, Defendant Clinton knew from the very beginning that the Benghazi Attack was not caused by the YouTube video, but was rather a planned, premeditated terrorist attack.
On the night of the Benghazi Attack, Defendant Clinton sent an e-mail to her daughter,

10 Chelsea Clinton, where she clearly blames the attack on an “Al-Qaeda-like group”.
15 In another email the day after the Benghazi Attack, Defendant Clinton directly told the Egyptian Prime Minister “we know the attack in Libya had nothing to do with the film. It was a planned attack, not a protest.”

FIRST CAUSE OF ACTION (Wrongful Death)

25. Plaintiffs reallege paragraphs 1 to 24, and incorporate herein by reference each and every foregoing paragraph of this Complaint as if set forth in full.
26. The deaths of Sean Smith and Tyrone Woods were directly and proximately caused by the negligent and reckless actions of Defendant Clinton, who used a private email server to send and receive secret, confidential and classified government information that compromised the location of Ambassador Christopher Stevens and thus the U.S. Department of State and the covert CIA and other government operations in Benghazi, Libya that both Sean Smith and Tyrone Woods were a part of. 27. Using the information that was obtained from Defendant Clinton’s “extremely careless” handling of confidential and classified government information, Islamic terrorists were able to locate Ambassador Christopher Stevens, Sean Smith and Tyrone Woods, and subsequently orchestrate, plan, and execute the Benghazi Attack that claimed the lives of Sean Smith and Tyrone Woods.

and other loss equaling the financial support the deceased would have been expected to provide,
in addition to loss of services, mental anguish, and pain and suffering.

to bring this action.
31. Plaintiff Charles Woods is the father of the deceased Tyrone Woods and is thereby entitled
to bring this action.

WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs respectfully request that this Court enter judgment against Defendant
for actual, compensatory damages and punitive damages in a sum to be determined by a jury,

as this Court deems just and proper.

FOURTH CAUSE OF ACTION Negligence

43. Plaintiffs reallege paragraphs 1 to 42, and incorporate herein by reference each and
every foregoing paragraph of this Complaint as if set forth in full.
44. Defendant Clinton owed Plaintiffs, as parents of the deceased, a duty to not act,

government information via her personal email server and compromise the
location of Ambassador Christopher Stevens and thus the U.S. Department of State
and the covert and other government operations in Benghazi, Libya that the deceased
were a part of. 14 45. Defendant Clinton breached her duty by sending and receiving
information on her private e-mail server about the location of Ambassador Christopher Stevens

Benghazi, Libya that the deceased were a part of that was intercepted and subsequently
used by Islamic terrorists to plan, orchestrate, and execute the Benghazi Attack.
46. The deaths of Sean Smith and Tyrone Woods were directly and proximately caused

by Defendant Clinton, in that Defendant Clinton compromised the location of
Ambassador Christopher Stevens and thus the U.S. Department of State and the covert

47. But-for Defendant Clinton’s negligent and reckless handling of confidential and classified government information by Defendant Clinton, in that Defendant Clinton compromised the
location of Ambassador Christopher Stevens and thus the U.S. State Department and the covert
and other government operations in Benghazi, Libya that the deceased were a part of, the Islamic terrorists who carried out the attack would not have been able to do so due to lack of information.
48. As a direct and proximate result of Defendant Clinton’s statements, Plaintiffs have suffered pecuniary damage, pain and suffering, and emotional distress. WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs respectfully request that this Court enter judgment against Defendant for pecuniary, actual, compensatory and punitive damages, in a sum to be determined by a jury, for costs herein incurred, for attorneys’ fees, and for such other and further relief as this Court deems just and proper.

FIFTH CAUSE OF ACTION Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress
15
49. Plaintiffs reallege paragraphs 1 to 48, and incorporate herein by reference each and every foregoing paragraph of this Complaint as if set forth in full.
50. Defendant Clinton engaged in extreme and outrageous conduct by using her private
e-mail server to send and receive confidential and classified government information, often concerning matters of national security, including the location of
Ambassador Christopher Stevens and thus the U.S. State Department and the covert
and other government operations in Benghazi, Libya that the deceased were a part of.
51. Defendant Clinton intentionally and knowingly used her private e-mail server to send
and receive confidential and classified government information, including, on information
and belief, the location of Ambassador Christopher Stevens and thus the U.S. State Department
and the covert and other government operations in Benghazi, Libya that the deceased were a
part of, as well as defaming and holding in a false light Plaintiffs.
52. Defendant Clinton’s extreme and outrageous conduct, on information and belief,
directly caused Plaintiffs severe emotional distress stemming from the death of Plaintiffs’ sons
Sean Smith and Tyrone Woods.

WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs respectfully request that this Court enter judgment against Defendant

54. Defendant Clinton, as Secretary of State, had a relationship with Plaintiffs,
who were the parents of deceased
Americans taking part in the U.S. Department of State and the covert CIA operations in
Benghazi, that necessarily implicated Plaintiffs’ emotional well-being in that Clinton was,
as Secretary of State, ultimately responsible for the safety of Tyrone Woods and Sean Smith
55. There existed an especially probable and likely risk that Defendant Clinton’s negligent
and reckless handling of confidential and classified government information relating to matters
of national security, including and not limited to the location Ambassador Christopher Stevens
and thus the U.S. State Department and the covert operations that the deceased were part of,
would compromise the safety of Tyrone Woods and Sean Smith, and therefore Plaintiffs’
emotional well-being.
56. As a direct and proximate result of Defendant Clinton’s negligent and reckless handling of confidential information relating to matters of national security, including and not limited to the location of the covert and other government operations that the deceased were part of, Tyrone Woods and Sean Smith were killed, as well as defaming and holding Plaintiffs in a false light, thereby causing serious emotional distress to Plaintiffs.

WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs respectfully request that this Court enter judgment against Defendant for damages including actual, compensatory and punitive damages in a sum to be determined by a
jury, for costs herein incurred, for attorneys’ fees, and for such other and further relief as this
Court deems just and proper.
