Ed Klein: Bill Clinton ‘Urging’ Hillary to Release Benghazi Documents That Would ‘Exonerate’ Her, Destroy Obama’s Re-Election Hopes
Posted on October 24, 2012 at 10:48pm by Jason Howerton
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton ordered additional security for the U.S. mission in Benghazi ahead of the terrorist attack but the orders were never carried out, according to “legal counsel” to Clinton who spoke to best-selling author Ed Klein.
Those same sources also say former President Bill Clinton has been “urging” his wife to release official State Department documents that prove she called for additional security at the compound in Libya, which would almost certainly result in President Obama losing the election.
Appearing on TheBlazeTV’s “Wilkow!” on Wednesday night, Klein told host Andrew Wilkow that Bill and Hillary Clinton have been having “big fights” for “two or three weeks” about the issue, according to his two sources on Clinton’s legal counsel.
While Bill Clinton wishes his wife would “exonerate” herself by releasing the documents that show she wasn’t at fault for the tragic security failure in Libya, the secretary of state refuses to do so because she doesn’t want to be viewed as a traitor to the Democratic party.
On Glenn Beck’s radio show earlier on Wednesday, Klein said his information comes from two “very good” sources.
Wilkow pointed out the obvious, that the Obamas and the Clintons have a “very behind the scenes, tense relationship” — to put it lightly.
“I said to you last night, and I think I stand corrected, that it seemed like Obama out-Clintoned the Clintons,” Wilkow said. “But Clinton seems to have gone along with all of this because he knew that Hillary would be exonerated in the end.”
He then asked Klein whether he thought Clinton would resign over the Libya scandal and expose the truth.
“No,” the author said immediately. “I can’t imagine that she would resign. It would bring down the entire administration. [Obama] would lose the election and she would be essentially blamed by the left-wing base of the party.”
“She will not be tarred with the blame for bringing down this administration,” Klein added.
In an exclusive interview with TheBlaze, Klein confirmed that Bill and Hillary Clinton have been engaging in “heated discussions” where the former president has urged his wife to “release the documents that would exonerate her.”
He reiterated that Clinton has refused to do so because she fears she would look like a “Judas,” or a traitor, in the administration and it might hurt her chances for a presidential nomination in 2016.
If the claims turn out to be true and Clinton did suggest more security be sent to Benghazi, it is appropriate to ask: why didn’t it happen?
Klein said Clinton’s request for beefed up security would have to go through CIA special ops and or the Pentagon.
“But none of that would happen with the National Security advisor to the president of the United States Tom Donnellan going to the president and saying, ‘We want to send reinforcements to Libya because our ambassador is in jeopardy,’” Klein explained.
Ultimately, he indicated the ultimate authority would have been President Obama.
Wilkow and Klein also discussed what role Obama’s closest advisor, Valerie Jarrett, played in the Benghazi cover-up.
By Obama’s own admission, Klein said, the president never makes a big decision without first consulting with Jarrett.
“We have to assume that Valerie Jarrett, who is also by the way hooked into the Chicago campaign…that she was part of this cover-up in the White House.”
He continued: “The CIA got cables, the Department of Defense got cables, the NSA got cables during the attack on Benghazi, in addition to the emails that have since been made public. We know that there are cables that we haven’t seen yet, confirming the State Department cables that this was an al-Qaeda linked attack.”
These new revelations, following Tuesday night’s explosive report that 300 to 400 national security officials received emails detailing the Benghazi terrorist attack as it was happening, raise fresh questions about the truth behind the Benghazi attack.
The emails revealed that the Libyan radical Islamic group Ansar al-Sharia claimed responsibility for the attack just two hours after it began. White House officials told CBS News that an unmanned Predator drone was sent over the U.S. mission in Libya, providing Washington with a live feed to the chaos that unfolded.
I can’t stand Bill or Hillary but.. in a 90 second sound-bite he could sink Obama making him forever a pariah (Michelle too through association), crush the remnants of the uber-liberal (Kennedy) wing of the party, put a serious hurt on the Chicago thug faction, and get the nitwit media to portray Hillary as the heroine in this episode. At the end of the day, he would again be the undisputed head of the Democrat party.
Oh would I love to see that.
"Some have sought to BLAME the inflammatory material posted on the Internet FOR the vicious behavior.", is more like it. This "some" are Obama, Jarrett, Rice, Carney AND Hillary!
I think she may be coming clean, but she’s doing in a clandestine fashion. I.e. who has been leaking the damning emails to the media. A slow trickle will keep this in the news for days, perhaps right up to the election time.
Here it is, Hildy.
Hillary speaking the truth?
You are foolish. Very.
I agree. Chelsea factor. Just last week or week before I saw it mentioned she was thinking about politics.
Hillary had complete authority over the various US embassies around the world. For her to have established and overseen an embassy in Libya and not provide security in the form of embassy duty trained Marines, is, at the very least, a gross deriliction of her SoS duties and boarders upon criminal neglect.
Hillary claims it was her responsibility, and to my mind, should resign in disgrace.....merely saying you are taking responsibility without suffering the consequences is tantamount to evading taking responsibility.
Instead of doing the right thing, Hillary, and Bill, seem to be more concerened about protecting her potential as a Presidential candidate in 2016.
She won’t do the right thing. She will protect the party at all costs, consequences be d@mned.
Operation Chaos in 2008 proved to me beyond all possible doubt that Hillary Clinton is loyal to the Democrat Party. She had Obama by the throat with overwhelming evidence of caucus fraud, but she folded on the national convention floor. She didn’t want the party elite to turn on her.
Such a fascinating statement from a stranger. Do you always shoot the messenger or is this one of your newly acquired habits?
What is her best interest after Obama loses the election?
Probably not to continue covering up.
If what Klein has reported is true, this is much more important than a matter of political expediency or as I stated above, and in my opinion, beyond concern over this or any future Presidential election.
Americans died. If the Secretary of State has information that a sitting President played any part in the negligence which led to the deaths of the four people, it is the Secretary of State's obligation to do the right thing and report it.
Hillary must speak up. The world is watching. There will be long term negative consequences for all Americans should she choose not to, in my opinion.
Keep it classy, would you please.
ROFLOL! Perfect Hildy! That one is a keeper. :)
sat by and just watched..........got that right. Like they were just playing and watching some video war game. Where's my joystick!!!!!!!!!!!!!, just as callous as that.
I too hope hitlery outs the current interlopers in the WhiteyHut, but what the hells she gonna say, “I was incompetent?” or “I bowed down to nobama?”
The relationship between Hillary and Obama will be altered by the election results on November 6.
If he wins, he is still the President...and she is his lame duck Secretary of State (having already announced that she will resign at the end of the term).
If he loses...all bets are off. Hillary is free to take whatever course best sets her up for 2016. If that appears to be burning Obama, she will do it. If it appears to be an accelerated resignation, as a point of honor, she will do it.
At the same time, Obama is free to exact any revenge his twisted mind feels he is entitled to. He might fire her, for example, for her "malfeasance at Benghazi" -- before she can resign.
We are probably in line for the most eventful -- and dangerous -- lame duck presidency in history.

Uncle Joe Biden versus Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election.
That’s how it immediately shapes up in my mind. There will be some new faces involved as well. In my mind, the new faces are odds on favorites to take the crown from one of those two codgers.
Hillary, however, can put Joe Biden to rest if he and Barack lose this election.
Here in Ohio yesterday, he referred to us as Iowa. I know we share the letters “i” and “o”, but they are different words.
We are just flyover country, however, so I feel his pain. /s
