Benghazi emails suggest White House aide involved in prepping Rice for ‘video’ explanation
Fox News ^ | 4/29/2014 | Catherine Herridge

Posted on 04/29/2014 10:31:55 AM PDT by sheikdetailfeather

Newly released emails on the Benghazi terror attack suggest a senior White House aide played a central role in preparing former U.N. ambassador Susan Rice for her controversial Sunday show appearances -- where she wrongly blamed protests over an Internet video.

More than 100 pages of documents were released to the conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch as part of a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit. Among them was a Sept. 14, 2012, email from Ben Rhodes, an assistant to the president and deputy national security adviser for strategic communications.

The Rhodes email, with the subject line: "RE: PREP Call with Susan: Saturday at 4:00 pm ET," was sent to a dozen members of the administration's inner circle, including key members of the White House communications team such as Press Secretary Jay Carney.

It is almost as if they are admitting that Benghazi WAS indeed a failure of policy.

All the more so since we now know beyond any doubt that no one ever really believed it was about a Youtube video.

Hillary planned both the protest over the video and the attack.

There is an al Qaida doc recovered in Afghanistan.

It’s a letter from Osama bin Laden to Mullah Omar.

It was listed as doc# AFGP-2002-600321 in what was the CTC at West Point’s Harmony Database.

That doc is as close to the terrorist playbook as anyone can get their hands on, but it’s not the playbook for the terrorist overseas, it’s the playbook for the people in this country the terrorist are working for.

It’s the playbook for the people responsible for making the “Preparations” for the terrorist attacks.

That’s where the “spontaneous” lie came from, “there are no preparations for the attacks, the attacks are spontaneous”.

Get it?

Following the info in the doc “the media (news) is 90% of the preparations” you can work out a pattern to the orchestrated news stories before the terrorist attacks since 1993 and you find out the terrorist attacks are following the Weather Underground playbook.

You can also find out from the pattern of the orchestrated news stories just who it is orchestrating the news stories before the attacks and that would be Hillary.

Thanks for all your posts Nachum.

I don’t want to overwhelm the Benghazi list with articles with repeated information.

Wondering what I can post on Facebook about the new turns in Benghazi that won’t alienate me totally from my liberal “friends.”

Bless her heart. I just hurt for her and am so dishusted she and other family members were lied to straight to their faces.

No kidding, and also over the coffins of their loved ones. Only people so corrupt and drunk with power would do such a thing to their fellow Americans and not blink an eye.

Shame on all of them.

That’s not hard to believe. MoveOn.org was in Cairo helping Egyptians plan their “Arab Spring” revolution. They were also present at the Cairo embassy riot on 9-11-12.

That is a tough one. If died in the wool liberals are ready to forgive almost any trespass that their representative commits it is a moot point.

The only thing you can do is stick to the absolute indisputable facts. I would stay away from any opion pieces and only point to the specific lies. The current batch of emails are such an item. They cannot run from it, they can only ignore it.

IIRC, the Clinton’s got chummy with the muslim brotherhood sometime in the mid 1980’s.

Humma started as Hillary’s squeeze during Clinton’s 1996 reelection I believe.

Summer of 1996 was called the “Summer of terror” and the Clinton’s were ginning up civil unrest with the BS stories of black churches being burned while Clinton’s buddies the Chinese military were smuggling in full auto weapons for the gangs in LA.

If Clinton believed he wasn’t going to be reelected in 1996, Clinton was going to make sure there wasn’t an election. He was going to stay in the WH one way or another.

In the four years that Doormat Boehner has protected Obama from all of the many violations of the US Constitution, the many, Many, MANY Derelictions of Duty and scandals, there has never been as loyal a permissive Speaker to a corrupt Administration than permissive, Doormat Boehner has been to the entire corrupt, tyrannical Obama Administration.

History will not be kind to Doormat Republican Boehner or his supporters in the House Republican Leadership including Cantor, McCarthy, and Ryan.

Always one to boast with a TV speech on how “sad” he is at the illegality of the rogue Obama Administration and Democrat Reid Senate, Doormat Boehner has always shied away from during the honorable thing by choosing to never enforce the US House Laws of the United States of America.

The limit to Doormat Boehner’s tolerance for obvious Federal corruption has yet to be reached.

Speaker (?) Johnny Boehner has become the Poster Boy for everything that is rotten in the once formerly GREAT Republican Party.

Using the old “Birds of a Feather” indicator, it is small wonder then that the Republican National Committee and their donors so enthusiastically approve of the “Doormat to Democrats” tactics of Mr. Doormat himself, House Speaker Johnny “The Sobber” Boehner!

Doormat Boehner knows that Obama will reward him for the loyal protection that Boehner has constantly provided for Obama for over four very long years.

Money is NOT something needed by Multimillionaire Boehner, but perhaps Boehner would accept an Obama appointment to be the United States Ambassador to Libya?

Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) told me today that the government apparently tried to keep the Rhodes email out of Congress and the public’s hands by classifying it after-the-fact.

“They retroactively changed the classification,” Chaffetz says. “That was an unclassified document and they changed it to classified.”

In the past month, the government has supplied 3,200 new Benghazi-related documents under Congressional subpoena. In some instances, Congressional members and their staff are only permitted to see the documents during certain time periods in a review room, and cannot remove them or make copies.

Chaffetz says that the State Department redacted more material on the copies provided to Congress than on those that it was forced to provide to JudicialWatch.

One of the most heavily-redacted email exchanges is entitled, “FOX News: US officials knew Libya attack was terrorism within 24 hours, sources confirm.” The Fox News article was circulated among dozens of officials including Rhodes and then-Deputy National Security Advisor Denis McDonough but the content of their email discussion is hidden.

http://www.sharylattkisson.com/new-benghazi-docs-april-29—2014.html

An administration official who asked not to be identified previously told me that “spontaneous” protests was probably not the right word to use in the talking points, but that there was no intent to deceive.

Sen. Graham has a different view.

“They understood it was a terrorist attack, that they had a political problem and they were going to handle it politically. They saw it as a chink in the President’s armor and they tried to repair it,” says Graham.

Listen to this podcast. This guy was in Egypt working with the Coptic Christian Churches. His group heard wind IN AUGUST of an impending attack on 9/11, and when they reported to the embassy in Cairo what they knew, they were told that "the WH is aware and they have it under control"

Link here.

” - - - Judicial Watch announced today that on April 18, 2014, it obtained 41 new Benghazi-related State Department documents. - - - “

THAT WAS ELEVEN DAYS AGO!

WHY THE DELAY?

Disgraced Boehner has been proven to be the WORST House Speaker ever, by a simple request for information by Judicial Watch lawyers. Pathetic!

RESIGN Boehner, so TREY GOWDY can tomorrow be Speaker of the US House of Representatives!

Part of the “preparation” for the attack, which is orchestrated news stories according to the al Qaida doc recovered in Afghanistan, was the dems praising Peanuts Carter at their convention.

The announcement that Peanuts was to be honored at the dems convention can be traced back to about the same time the video was made.

IIRC, that was some time in mid to late July.

There is no doubt in my mind the idea was to create another “October Surprise” and blame Mitt Romney and the repubs with collaborating with the terrorist to make Obama look like Peanuts Carter.

As an added bonus the Obama adm could arm up al Qaida with a massive amount of weapons and blame it all on the repubs for planning the attack.

Many of us have been saying for going on two years now that the DEMS stole the election of 2012 for Clown Obama. Now we have the proof - if this information were known prior to Nov 2012 I would venture to say Hussein would NOT have won.

Obama thought Rice did a great job deflecting the blame for Benghazi from
him and Hillary.In fact, Obama made sure Rice has a special place in the
Obama library.

The Susan Rice Video Room is on the lower level.

Makes me wonder if Ben Rhode’s brother - who would have access to video editing equipment and crew- might have helped modify the video to make it fit their storyline after the fact, then plant claims or have a Muslim Bro claim, after the attack when they were trying to create this video mee- that the video had been seen by an imam or two in Egypt before the attack. We know the video was altered from its original script, people just assume the video maker modified it. But did he?.
