Newt Gingrich: Networks may have White House emails that called off Benghazi rescue (Video)
Daily Caller ^ | October 31, 2012 | Jeff Poor

On Tuesday night’s “On the Record with Greta Van Susteren” on the Fox News Channel, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said that major news networks might have secret emails proving that the White House canceled plans to assist the besieged U.S. Embassy in Benghazi.

Gingrich said that the bombshell emails could be revealed within the next two days.

“There is a rumor — I want to be clear, it’s a rumor — that at least two networks have emails from the National Security Adviser’s office telling a counterterrorism group to stand down,” Gingrich said. “But they were a group in real-time trying to mobilize marines and C-130s and the fighter aircraft, and they were told explicitly by the White House stand down and do nothing. This is not a terrorist action

This certainly has potential, if true. Even if it is Newt.

If true, it needs to come from somewhere besides fox, or the MSM will circle wagons and refuse to cover it

Or, it could fall down the same memory hole that claimed Obama's LA video.

Just one time, I would like our side to have a decent October surprise.

This definitely could be it, or it could be yet another in a long strong of false alarms that have tantalized us over the years.

Sure hope Newt has the inside scoop.

The only question: How many lies can the pathological moslem communist traitor tell.... before Americans force him out?

It feels like he’s “getting away with” lie after lie. But I suspect he exceeded his Lie Quota 2 years ago — and folks will remind him NOV 6.

I believe Newt on this, don't think he would lie about it and said his info came from a senator.
Coupled with what West said afterward, OBobo was big problems.

I hope so. We never have good October suprises. They’ve always got DWI or Iran Contra notes or someone had an affair etc but, we have absolutely nothing....always

Maybe, finally, we have an email that smacks O down. Newt, you’ve always been sort of a loose cannon althugh I’ve supported you over the years so, if you’re wrong on this I’m gonna be pissed.

Hand over that October Suprise and let’s start chewing on it.

Even if it is FOX, the others will have to cover it. There will be too much noise. Besides I heard Newt say this and that TWO networks have it.

Not necessarily.

LA Times, San Francisco Chronicle, and Washington Post all had either stories or opinion columns critical of the Benghazi raid yesterday. ABC carried McCain’s strong denunciation of the White House last night.

FOX broke the “stand down” story on Friday. No news organization is going to use a competitor for its source, so the major outlets scrambled over the weekend to find their own verification and more details. Storm Sandy dominated coverage Monday and Tuesday, and rightly so.

They can’t run with what they haven’t got, but I’m betting there is enough dissention to provide good details, facts and evidence, as this progresses. Let’s see what the latter part of the week brings. Here’s hoping.

The White House was talking about it, Senators were talking about it etc, parents of the dead were talking about it.

Hard to see how that isn’t enough to at least write a basic article.

If a major network had this they will not bring it up
heck they will destroy the evidence if it could hurt their lover Obama.

Why can’t we sue the various networks , and mainstream media for dereliction of duty ??
They have obviously been as derelect as the “O”

At what point does the Fourth estate ( Press)
become the fifth column (revolutionary ) ?

My wish is for Obama not only have the humilation of loosing by a landslide, but the shame, embarressment and dishonor of being forever remembered as the president who left Americans to die. May he retire and have his remaining days to reflect on his humiliation. I’m a hard woman.

Newt said the memo said that there was a group trying to mobilize several assets that they were told to stand down...”it was not a terrorist attack, so stand down”. Now my question is, what difference can it possibly make whether it is a terrorist attack or it is a bunch of loonie tunes pretending to be chasing wiley coyote? If Americans are being shot at, that should be all you need to know to call up all assets INVENTED!

If the 9/11 attacks had occurred during the Obama administration we’d never have heard about them.
