Issa: White House warned YouTube over anti-Islam video during Benghazi attack (VIDEO)
Fox News ^ | 23 May 2014 | Fox News

Posted on 05/23/2014 11:53:46 AM PDT by PoloSec

Republican Rep. Darrell Issa claimed that an email he’s reviewed shows the White House decided to reach out to YouTube within hours of the Benghazi terror attack, to warn the website about the consequences of posting an anti-Islam video.

The email would suggest the White House was connecting the attack to the video almost from the outset -- though their initial claim that the attack sprung out of protests over the film would later be proven false.

According to Issa, who discussed excerpts from the otherwise classified emails on Wednesday, the email was sent at 9:11 p.m. ET on Sept. 11 to the Diplomatic Security Command Center.

According to Issa, the email said: “White House is reaching out to UTube to advise ramifications of the posting of the Pastor Jon Video.”

Issa said this email is “troubling” because it “contradicts” White House claims that the faulty storyline on the video was drawn from the intelligence community’s talking points.

The congressman also said “the email shows the White House had hurried to settle on a false narrative -- one at odds with the conclusions reached by those on the ground -- before Americans were even out of harm’s way or the intelligence community had made an impartial examination of available evidence.”

After the attack, not prior.

THis whole Bengazi cover up totally has the fingerprints of Hillary’s pathetic, poorly thought out, unimaginative, sophomoric cooked up explanations for blatantly obvious scandals.

If only there was a media...

Bastard doesn;t believe in the document he took an oath to uphold. He should be subject to a citizen class action suit for misrepresentation at the very least.

Who is Pastor Jon? All I can come up with is Terry Jones, who burned a Koran. Nakoula Basseley is the the video maker who was jailed.

I suppose that for their purposes, any video would do.

You know his whole MO when he became POTUS is to undermine and destory everything this country was built on and stands for.
He has yet to do anything that has helped the U.S.

Someone smarter than me look up how much their CEO donated to Dems or 0bummer in 2012. Protection money to keep from being blamed for the whole thing? Hmmm?

The Obama administration’s reponse to the Benghazi attack was to seek to limit American’s free speech rights and to put a filmmaker in jail.

Is there any liberal in America that dares to defend these actions?

Which raises an interesting question. Can the elctorate choose a candidate who vows to overthrow the government and abandon the Constitution? The government is not protected from change. The Constitution on the other hand ought to be sacrosanct. It is, by the lights of the progressives, a flexible document.

A-B-S-O-L-U-T-E-L-Y.

He is the FIRST (and hopefully LAST) Anti-American President.

But Big Mama” Candy Crowley, biased lib debate moderator, leaped to the messiah’s defense: “Yes, my baby did too say it was terrorism.” Whereupon little Barack chimed in: “You tell ‘em Big Mama, you tell the bad man!”

Another Email classifed as 'secret' or 'top secret' for political reasons ONLY, having NOTHING to do with compromise of national security.

If there aren't SEVERE penalties for misclassifying documents solely for personal or political reasons, there should be!

That’s actually quite interesting.

It adds credibility to the notion that the administration colluded in the attack and planned to use the video as an excuse.

OBVIOUSLY they didn’t come up with this obscure video on the spot. It still begs the question of what the original purpose of the charade was, and if Hillary was double-crossed or wanted Stevens killed and the warehouse sacked as part of the original plan.
