Kris Paronto, a former Army Ranger and military contractor, says there must be something in Hillary Clinton's emails about Benghazi that someone is trying to hide.
"It has definitely been a concerted effort because we haven't seen all the emails come up, over the last two and a half years, we're still asking for it," Paronto, who was part of the security team in Benghazi during the attack on Sept. 11, 2012, told John Bachman and Vera Gibbons on "America's Forum" on
Newsmax TV on Friday.

"There's got to be something within those emails that either lays some culpability on someone in the State Department, if not Hillary Clinton or the administration," he contends.
"My team was hit. People died that night. We still don't have the information," Paronto said.
"I don't really give a crap about political games, political this and that — this is why we're in this position right now," he explained.
"She needs to come out and say what the heck took place, what went wrong, who's fault it was, and why support never came to assist us at all," he added.
"We did not get support in Benghazi, period."
Paronto is one of the coauthors of a book about the night of the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi,
"13 Hours: The Inside Account of What Really Happened in Benghazi," which is being adapted into a movie by director Michael Bay.
The
House Select Committee on Benghazi has requested that Clinton testify before the committee by May 1.
It has been revealed the Clinton's personal server, which she used for official State Department emails, was wiped clean after committee chairman Rep. Trey Gowdy of South Carolina asked that the server be turned over for review.
