Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is fighting back against a lawsuit filed by the parents of Benghazi victims. Pat Smith and Charles Woods are the parents of American U.S. Foreign Service member Sean Smith, and Navy SEAL Tyrone Woods, respectively. Both died during the September 11, 2012 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya. They sued Clinton for wrongful death, defamation, and intentional and negligent infliction of emotional distress.
As we reported last week, they asked the court for a default judgment against Clinton after she failed to respond to the lawsuit. A clerk entered the default judgment against Clinton in the case. But now Clintons attorney, David Kendall, is protesting the judgment in a court filing, saying that Clinton was not properly served with the lawsuit, and therefore the default judgment against her should be thrown out. Kendall also takes aim at Larry Klayman, the founder of conservative group Freedom Watch. He is representing the Benghazi parents in this lawsuit.
Secretary Clinton has borne the burden of defending against Mr. Klaymans tactics time and again: this is at least the eighteenth time that Mr. Klayman has sued former Secretary Clinton or former President Clinton, Clintons attorney wrote in a Thursday filing, Nearly all of those lawsuits failed before or upon a motion to dismiss and Mr. Klayman has not prevailed on the merits on a single claim over his decades-long history of suing the Clintons. He also takes aim at Klayman for not directly notifying Clintons counsel of the lawsuit, but instead improperly serving the filing to an unidentified security guard at her campaign office.
According to the lawsuit, the parents of the Benghazi victims allege that Clinton lied to them about the cause of the attack. Clinton allegedly told them in a private meeting that the attack was the result of an anti-Muslim YouTube video that had been posted online and that the creator of the video would be arrested. The complaint alleges Clinton has negligently, recklessly, and/or maliciously defamed Plaintiffs by
directly calling them liars. Clintons attorney fired back:

He is such an angry, vindictive little man. He probably can't stand that he hasn't been able to beat the Clintons for 25+ years. I hope he lies awake, late at night, staring at the ceiling trying to come up with a new scheme, like Wile E. Coyote, to trap Hillary Clinton once and for all. But like the Road Runner, Secretary Clinton will gracefully elude his grasp and continue her journey.
He's such a loser.
