May 5, 2014 11:24 AM Wanted: Recording of Prep Call Before Susan Rice’s Post-Benghazi TV Interviews By Deroy Murdock
I like the way Jim Guirard thinks. The former Democratic U.S. Senate aide is a conservative who sees things not just “out of the box,” but “out of the District.” The long-time chief of staff to the late U.S. senator Russell Long (D., La.) offers imaginative suggestions for unraveling various scandals and controversies in the national debate. His intriguing ideas and writings are gathered at TrueSpeak.org.
Guirard now is focused on a detail in the previously obstructed Benghazi e-mail that finally emerged from beneath Obama’s rug, thanks to Judicial Watch’s Freedom of Information Act lawsuit and the documents it has dislodged. These include many records that Team Obama had concealed from Congress.
Front and center, the subject of White House national-security aide Benjamin J. Rhodes’s September 14, 2012, e-mail reads “PREP CALL with Susan: Saturday at 4:00 PM ET.”
Most journalists and lawmakers have zeroed in on one of the e-mail’s goals: “To underscore that these protests are rooted in an Internet video, and not a broader failure of policy.” This sentence confirms that Obama wanted desperately to shift the blame for the September 11, 2012, Benghazi attack from al-Qaeda-affiliated terrorists to an imaginary group of spontaneous demonstrators — enraged over Innocence of Muslims, a stunningly amateur anti-Islamic YouTube clip — whose meet-up supposedly went fatally awry. The latter, perhaps forgivably, would have been impossible to predict and difficult to combat. The former, however, should have been foreseen by intelligence agencies and should have triggered a presidential order for a rescue mission or other military response.
Also, the presence of well-organized, homicidal al-Qaeda franchisees wielding rocket launchers rather than picket signs annihilated Obama’s chief foreign-policy campaign theme. As he claimed at the Democratic National Convention on September 6, 2012: “Al-Qaeda is on the path to defeat; and Osama bin Laden is dead.”
Just five days later — on the eleventh anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attack — terrorists assaulted America’s diplomatic post at Benghazi and slaughtered U.S. ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, Foreign Service officer Sean Smith, and former Navy SEALs Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods
Through the headlines of the last few days, Guirard has kept his eyes locked on Ben Rhodes’s subject line.
Rhodes’s e-mail was not just background for then–U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice’s Sunday chat-show interviews, five of which she granted on September 16, 2012. The e-mail helped to organize a conference call, to be conducted on the Saturday afternoon before those TV appearances.
Thus, Guirard asks several fascinating and highly pertinent questions in his own e-mail to his journalistic contacts:
The actual “rest of the story” in the unending Benghazi scandal may be in the Saturday evening telephone briefing of Susan Rice by the WH team of scam artists . . . a last-minute teleconference set up by Ben Rhodes’ e-mail to Ambassador Rice on the preceding (Friday) evening.
Question #1 — Who were all of the parties to that 11th- hour “marching orders” conversation with Susan Rice — both at the WH and at the UN?
Question #2 — What other parties were present or listening and advising — but not speaking aloud — at each end of that WH-UN conversation?
Question #3 — Did any federal agency (WH, UN, CIA, DoD, State, NSA) record or videotape all or parts of that conversation or produce a transcript thereof?
Question # 4 — Which of these recordings or videos, if any, are still available, and under whose orders might some or all of them have been destroyed?
Question # 5 — Were there any email or telephone follow-ups to or from Amb. Rice between the end of that conversation and the Sunday morning TV shows — including any contacts with State Department, CIA, or other officials who were not parties to the conversation but whose influence might be in play?
There may be nothing new in these proceedings, but there may be much more to be discovered than in the Rhodes-to-Rice e-mail itself.
Guirard’s very relevant questions deserve thorough answers — and soon. The U.S. House’s new special committee on Benghazi, to be chaired by the tenacious former prosecutor Representative Trey Gowdy (R., S.C.), should use Jim Guirard’s interrogatories as a backhoe to excavate the truth on this key aspect of this rapidly burgeoning outrage.
Benghazi ping.
Let Republicanprofessor know if you want on or off this ping list.
Obama launched a war in Libya then bragged that it accomplished regime change without the loss of American lives.
Sec. of State Hillary Clinton applauded the war crime torture, abuse, and murder of a POW named Momar Gaddafi “WE came, WE saw, HE DIED!!!”
"The ‘smoking gun’ email that reveals who instructed Susan Rice to blame the Benghazi attack on a video also exposes a recipient named Mehdi K. Alhassani. Alhassani was the leader of the Muslim Student Association (MSA), a Muslim Brotherhood front group and attended the sister mosque of the Islamic Society of Boston Cultural Center (ISBCC) mosque attended by the Boston Marathon bombers.
It is a mystery how Alhassani slipped through the cracks to become a Special Assistant to the Office of the Chief of Staff, National Security Council Staff, and Executive Office of the President.
It is unknown why a few hours before the Benghazi attack, Alhassani met in the White House with Samir Mayekar, a George Soros ‘fellow’ for an unscheduled visit"
” all of them have been destroyed?”
Probably. The only way to find out is to get the criminal goods on someone, and SQUEEZE them hard. Break them!
I hope and pray someone will ask these questions and get the answers.
If this tape is found, I guarantee you there will be more than three minutes erased, (as in W. H. Watergate tape)
Bookmark that!!
Did anyone give instructions to the turkish ambassador for the meeting to be held which was held the day of the murders of our four Americans by D.C.? Phone call? Email? Messenger? Was contact made with the turkish ambassador? Was the turkish ambassador the bird dog for the attack?
Trey Gowdy has been officially named the Chairman of the Select Committee according to FOX News.
That was a type of having his cake and eating it too.
"Since our founding, the United States has been a nation that respects all faiths. We reject all efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others. But there is absolutely no justification to this type of senseless violence. None. The world must stand together to unequivocally reject these brutal acts."
Here is the White House web page for his comments on 9/12/12.

Go Gowdy. GO!!!!!!!
It is my most sincere hope that he will seek the occasional, private counsel of Newt Gingrich on the exercise of Congressional Power and the political firestorm that is about to ensue.
This will be like the Clinton Impeachment.
But with 2014-level demonization.
Think about it. If the Democrats were only afraid of Benghazi embarrassing them, they would just give up. Obama has his second term. They wouldn’t be risking time in jail hiding e-mails if it was just to preclude some embarrassment. Hillary and Obama pulled some really bad stuff in Libya.....serious stuff. The Democrats are behaving this way because it’s big.
Obama has the “power” to not only destroy America but to take down the democrat party and destroy the two party system.
Samir Mayekar (“The White House Goes Purple,” summer 2010) will return to Northwestern in the fall to pursue an MBA at the Kellogg School of Management with help from a Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowship for New Americans. “I was very humbled,” he said. “I’m in very good company with the other people who won the fellowship.” Mayekar is one of 30 recipients of the prestigious fellowships, which are awarded annually to immigrants and children of immigrants looking to complete graduate studies. Born in Houston to parents who emigrated from India, Mayekar is the current deputy chief of staff at the Overseas Private Investment Corporation, the U.S. government’s development finance institution. He previously served as national security director in the White House’ Presidential Personnel Office. After earning his MBA, Mayekar hopes to work at the intersection of business, government and national security. In April Mayekar married Emily Haak (WCAS07) (see “Senior Watch,” summer 2007). They live in Washington, D.C.

The best possible choice. At least IMHO.
I would be willing to bet that the price of that appointment was to decline any future run for Speaker of the House by Congressman Gowdy - AND his endorsement of Speaker Boehner to continue in that role.

All the unanswered questions about this muzzie punk’s involved operation lends me even firmer to Admiral Lyons claim of an attempted kidnapping stunt of Stevens was in the deck of cards, but collapsed with devastating fatalities and injures!!!
