I only have one question

WHO came up with the idea to blame the attack on the video ?

That idea was pulled out of thin air.

I looked at the Dept of State’s press releases the day of and the day prior to Benghazi.

IIRC, around 12:00 midnight, state released a statement regarding the demonstrations in Cairo, and pinned them to this stupid video. An AP reporter, picked that up and wrote a piece about the Cairo demonstrations.

Someone at either State and or the White House decided to tie this together. I still can’t confirm the Cairo demonstrations were a reaction to the video or if it was just used by that reporter.

They used the Cairo protests “reportedly due to this obscure video” as cover for Benghazi. It was brainstormed during the Saturday session between the State Dept and the National Secuirty Team (White House).
