@SenBlumenthal & (1.) In the run up to the overthrow of Libya's Mummer Gaddafi in 2012, @SenJohnMcCain traveled to Libya several times and met with Al-Quada leaders. This is @SenJohnMcCain @LindseyGrahamSC posing in Libya with known terrorist Abdel Hakim Belhadj.





web.stanford.edu/group/mappingm… (2.) Abdel Hakim Belhadj was the Leader of the Al-Queda Affiliated Libyan Islamic Fighting Group.





state.gov/j/ct/rls/other… (3.) At the time, the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG) was on the @StateDept 's list of Foreign Terrorist Organizations.





18 U.S. Code § 2339B - Providing material support or resources to designated foreign terrorist organizations



law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18… (4.) Below is US law concerning providing material support or resources to a foreign terrorist organization, or attempting or conspiring to do so18 U.S. Code § 2339B - Providing material support or resources to designated foreign terrorist organizations





(5.) In April 2011, @SenJohnMcCain stood in Libya and talked about the United States providing weapons to the rebels fighting Gaddafi (LIFG).





(6.) Here's @SenJohnMcCain in Libya discussing "other" countries supplying weapons to Libya but the US "facilitating" that.





un.org/apps/news/stor… (7.) On Feb 11, 2011 The UN imposed Sanctions on Libya, including an Arms Embargo.

(8.) “All Member States shall immediately take the necessary measures to prevent the direct or indirect supply, sale or transfer to the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, from or through their territories or by their nationals...of arms including weapons and ammunition,”





(9.) @SenJohnMcCain was actively working with Al-Queda to overthrow the legitimate government of Libya, and facilitating weapons, against UN Sanctions to known terrorists.





(10.) @SenJohnMcCain when questioned about the opposition claimed "They're my heroes"





thedailybeast.com/abdel-hakim-be… (11.) Back to Abdel Hakim Belhadj, the man @SenJohnMcCain @LindseyGrahamSC and @SenBlumenthal met with in Libya. He also met with Osama Bin Laden in Afghanistan.





nytimes.com/2012/12/06/wor… (12.) @SenJohnMcCain followed through on his word. Against US and UN Sanctions, the United States facilitated lethal weapons, through Qatar into the hands of Al-Queda headed by Abdel Hakim Belhadj.





foxnews.com/politics/2016/… (13.) The United States even tried to cover up the covert transfer of Arms to Libya by blaming Arizona Arms Dealer Marc Turi. They attempted to prosecute him, but quickly dropped the charges.





foxnews.com/politics/2016/… (14.) Marc Turi's charges were dropped when it became clear @HillaryClinton @SenJohnMcCain and the Obama Administration would be implicated for running arms to Al-Queda in Libya through Qatar.





insider.foxnews.com/2015/03/02/cat… (15.) Back to Abdel Hakim Belhadj. It's now being reported he is one of the leaders, if not the sole leader, of ISIS in Libya.

(16.) In summary. @SenJohnMcCain violated US Law, UN & US Sanctions when he provided aid and facilitated weapons to individuals and organizations listed by the US and UN as Terrorist Organizations.

(17.) Further, the people @SenJohnMcCain met with were known Al-Queda terrorists and Abdel Hakim Belhadj is now one of the leaders of ISIS in Libya.

(18.) @SenJohnMcCain 's actions were not only against US Law, but he was materially responsible for the rise of ISIS in Libya, the death of 1,000's of Libyan citizens, the Benghazi Attack on 9/11/12, and the transfer of weapons from Libya to Syria.

(19.) Are there any journalists in the United States willing to report the truth? Why is this not being reported when it's all documented and easily provable. Why won't any journalists ask @SenJohnMcCain about this? He did the same thing in Syria.

Please re-tweet and share with those who you believe can help get this news out.

@RepStevenSmith - Please show America the truth about McCain. @GOPPollAnalyst
