The Obama administration made it clear to Project Cassandra leaders that it would not support a RICO case, even though tasdk force investigators spent years gathering evidence for it. Briefings for top White House and [[Justice Department]] officials that had been requested by [[Eric Holder]] never materialized.  A top intelligence official blocked the inclusion of Project Cassandra’s memo on the Hezbollah drug threat from being included in Obama’s daily threat briefing. Project Cassandra agents stopped getting invitations to interagency meetings, including those of a top Obama transnational crime working group. Obama officials dropped Hezbollah from the formal list of groups targeted by a special White House initiative into transnational organized crime, which in turn effectively eliminated DEA’s broad legal authority to investigate it overseas. “Tampa was supposed to settle how everyone would have a seat at the table and what the national strategy is going to be, and how clearly law enforcement has role. And the opposite happened. We walked away with nothing," said Jack Riley, DEA’s chief of operations.<ref>https://www.politico.com/interactives/2017/obama-hezbollah-drug-trafficking-investigation/</ref>

'''[[Odessa Trade Unions House massacre]]'''. <font color="blue">At least 42 ethnic Russian-speaking Ukrainians are murdered by [[US]]-backed Ukrainian nationalists and [[neo-Nazi]]s, most burnt alive in the Odessa Trades Union Building. The bodies were removed and buried in secret. Survivors of the fire inside the building were executed with bullets to the head.

*The Benghazi Mission was initially, and mistakenly by media, called “a consulate," or a “consulate outpost.” But there are no State Dept. records of any consulate office in Benghazi.<ref>https://www.juancole.com/2014/05/questions-benghazi-consulate.html</ref> This is why no Pentagon rescue operation was mounted, the Defense Dept. had no knowledge of US assets in Benghazi. The Benghazi weapons smuggling operation to ISIS was a CIA/State Dept. operation authorized by an Obama presidential covert action finding.
