A Clinton-obsessed Conspiracy Theorist Is Behind Benghazi Lawsuit Against Hillary Clinton

Clinton-obsessed conspiracy theorist, Larry Klayman, has filed a lawsuit on behalf of two of the families victimized by the September 2012 attacks in Benghazi, Libya.

Klayman described President Obama in a lawsuit as "not even a naturalized U.S.
