MSNBC host Joe Scarborough did not appear satisfied with his co-hosts’ reaction to yesterday’s remarks from White House Press Secretary Jay Carney over the newly released emails linking the White House to former United Nations Amb. Susan Rice’s talking points on the Benghazi attack. Scarborough unloaded on Donny Deutsch after his first reaction was to warn Republicans to not overreact to the news. The MSNBC host contended that this was not an appropriate reaction to the revelations about a White House not being forthright.

“The spokesperson for the White House is saying a directive to Susan Rice about Benghazi is not about Benghazi,” Scarborough observed. “No, it’s about Benghazi.”

“I want to put up a warning here for the Republicans,” Deutsch replied. “I think this is fool’s gold for 2016.”

“What about the cover-up for the White House?” Scarborough interjected. “I’ve got everybody here apologizing for the White House. What about a cover-up, Donnie?”

“Why are you jumping to political strategy?” he continued. “So, tell me, what’s the politics of the White House lying about something that we all know they’re lying about?”

“You see the White House spokesperson lying on national television. You see an ABC Newsperson shocked that he’s lying and treating the press corps like they’re stupid. He says it’s not about Benghazi. Republicans and conservatives have been called fools for a year now for saying this happened. They don’t release it with the original the documents. They finally, reluctantly are forced to release it. Then you have the White House lying about it, saying it’s not about Benghazi, and you’re only reaction is, ‘Hey, Republicans better not overreact to the cover-up?’”

You know the left has really gone too far when Scarborough goes after them. It has to be way out of reality before he’ll criticize them.

[andyk]

I’ve never actually seen Joe defend the GOP before. Insert reference to blind squirrel telling time with a broken clock, or something.

[oldtech]

What is there about getting out the truth that is overreacting?

[Don Corleone]

The stench that not even a mega dose of liberal perfume can obscure.

[C. Edmund Wright]

Whenever the left warns us about “over reacting” - we should ratchet up our reactions exponentially….

[Liberty Valance]

Since the Whitehouse has been caught lying about this for the last year and a half, will media matters go after Joe now?

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Exactly!

Mmmmmm.....I just can't wait to see what Me-First Hillary's gonna do to resurrect herself from the Benghazi debacle. Hillary's been dangerously exposed. But she has a cute way of bouncing back.

Remember when Billy got lewinskied in the Oval Office? Hillary's political ambitions were in serious jeopardy.

Hillwent on TV---all decked out in virginal pearls---
and blamed Billy's B/J on the "VRWC."

For sure CBS will give Hill ample airtime so that she emerges pure and virginal for 2016. CBS will suckup and give her 2-3 segments to explain away Benghazi.....the word "Republicans" is already forming on those virginal lips.

===========================================================

Who can forget Obama and Hillary's love fest on CBS' 60 Minutes?

Obomba hustled Hillary on 60 Minutes to gaze in adoration,
after Hill's arrogant dismissal of the Benghazi massacre before
Congress. I thought sure Obama was gonna give 'er a B/J on
broadcast tv....he was THAT grateful.

============================================

Maybe the Clintons will even do their Holy Family Act?

The "Holy Family".

[Liz]

TALKING POINTS It's a well-documented fact that the grasping, ambitious Clintons used the WH to game the system---to enrich their cronies AND themselves. Self-serving Clinton and his decrepit wife aren't through w/ their craven self-aggrandizement---- they now want back into the WH.

The Clintons even have their very own Muslim terrorist to carry out presidential orders.

BACKSTORY Billy Boy Clinton was grinning like a simpering fool at the annual meeting of the tax-exempt "Clinton Global Initiative Foundation"....even Boobomba was there hugging Billy like they were old pals.....all in the wake of the bombshell news that:

<><> the tax-exempt Clinton Global Initiative Foundation uses shady financing;

<><> the tax-exempt Clinton Global Initiative had employed an active Muzzie terrorist named Gehad el-Haddad (The stupid Clintons did not know Gehad was Farsi for "jihad"?)

CLINTON POLITICS AND PROFITEERING: Boeing CEO questioned on donations to Clinton foundation Boeing's CEO faced pointed questions about its charitable donation to the tax-exempt Clinton Foundation in the same year that then-Secy of State Hillary Clinton advocated on its behalf on an official tax-financed trip to Russia.

(POSTER'S NOTE: Some might say it was common to advocate for US business---but then very few previous advocates had a presidential campaign on the burner----nor did they have three tax-exempt foundations panhandling donations from corporations.)

David Almasi, shareholder and representative of the National Center for Public Policy Research think tank, asked Boeing the question, and gave an indication of the kinds of challenges that companies could face as Hillary weighs a run for president. Dozens of major corporations have made charitable donations to the Clinton Foundation in recent years.

Almasi called the Boeing donation a "clear conflict of interest" that seemed "reckless and unnecessary." (According to Almasi's notes, CEO McNearney called an implication that the donation might have been legally questionable "beyond the pale.")

Boeing contributed $900,000 to the Clinton family foundation (there are three) just months after Clinton had traveled to Russia, where she made what she called a "shameless pitch" for a state-owned Russian company to buy Boeing passenger jets. Boeing won the $3.7 billion Russian contract in June 2010. (Some facts excerpted from wahingtonpost.com report.)

==============================================

Mmmmmm....Hillary's incessant globe-trotting raises new questions about her motives....since it is well-known her global travels contributed nothing to US foreign policy.

Hefty corporate donations to the Clintons' tax-exempt foundations are nice...... but exchanging valuable US ntl security info for campaign contributions......that could really add up.

And the airheaded State Dept sorority sister could not name EVEN ONE of Hillary's accomplishments at State?

===========================================

And just who cleaned out the State Dept's bank accounts? News reports say the State Department announced it has "no idea" what happened to $6 billion used to pay its contractors..... a special “management alert” warned “significant financial risk and a lack of internal control at State has led to billions of unaccounted dollars over the last six years....under Hillary's watch.

Now we know how Hillary always$ get$ tho$e wonderful poll number$----why $he's always at the top of the pre $idential pack (cackle).

[FlingWingFlyer]

Four Americans died because their country betrayed them over an election. Barry and ObamaCare had to “win” in 2012 no matter what. Bass turds.

[RitaOK]

Only when handed what is perfect gimme will Joe ever muster a little faux outrage against the regime. A putz.

[RitaOK]

Nice, and it’s always a sign, isn’t it?

When these hacks are squealing, we all sleep better. :)

Part of me wonders if the smart democrats in the media, understand that when the Republicans take the Senate that there will be hearings that will cause all of the Obama scandals to start spilling out.

when that happens, the voters will be shocked at how evil the Obama Administration was. The only hope for any 2016 Democratic candidate will be to “run against the policies of the failed & corrupt Obama Administration.” Which is why Hillary, Biden and others will be unelectable. As such the media needs to start the outrage now to provide cover for a Democratic presidential candidate who can attack Obama. Attacking Obama with his NSA, IRS, and other minions will require a very brave Democrat with a very supportive media. The smart people in the media understand this.

THE MSM IS A BIGGER PAWN OF OBAMA AND THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY THAN PRAVDA WAS IN TIMES OF THE SOVIET UNION.

Retired Military Official: We Knew Benghazi Attacks Attributable to Terrorist Group, Not Video

A retired military officer serving in the U.S.’s Africa Command headquarters in Germany told the House oversight committee Thursday that it was his belief at the time that the September 11, 2012, attack on the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya was attributable to an Islamic extremist group and not an internet video.

Robert Lovell was an brigadier general with the Air Force, stationed in Germany, when four Americans were killed in Benghazi. In his congressional testimony, Lovell said that his role was to focus on “attribution” of the attack.

“What do you believe they were attributable to?” asked Utah Republican congressman Jason Chaffetz.

“That they were attributable to an Islamist extremist group,” Lovell responded.

“Al Qaeda?” Chaffetz asked.

“We felt it was Ansar al Sharia,” said Lovell.

“Which is affiliated with al Qaeda?” Chaffetz asked.

“Yes,” said Lovell.

Lovell also said that the attack was not attributable to a video or protests arising from such a video.
