Clinton bristled at Benghazi deception
NY Post ^ | 6-22-2014 | Edward Klein

Posted on 06/22/2014 4:18:48 PM PDT by Citizen Zed

By 10 p.m. on Sept. 11, 2012, when Hillary Clinton received a call from President Obama, she was one of the most thoroughly briefed officials in Washington on the unfolding disaster in Benghazi, Libya.

She knew that Ambassador Christopher Stevens and a communications operator were dead, and that the attackers had launched a well-coordinated mortar assault on the CIA annex, which would cost the lives of two more Americans.

She had no doubt that a terrorist attack had been launched against America on the anniversary of 9/11. However, when Hillary picked up the phone and heard Obama’s voice, she learned the president had other ideas in mind. With less than two months before Election Day, he was still boasting that he had al Qaeda on the run.

This would only be big news if the GOP would use it against her.

They won’t.

Not as relevant for a king who will be gone in <2.5 years.

As someone else posted, these two Marxists Millionaires met recently to hatch in thecWH just before this New PR BS is being leaked.

This scheme with these phony leaks are pathetic and smell likecthey were cooked up by Georgie Steppy at ABC and that Lousiana Snake-face PR liar.

What a load of crap. If she thought it wasn’t credible, she had a choice—she could have stayed silent and not put out a press release. Obama could have fired her, but I doubt he would have gone that far.

I seem to remember some Nazi generals at trial using the same excuse. I was only following orders.

This obvious attempt on the part of Hill and Bill to convince the public that there was a feud going on with 0 and mrs. 0, is getting hilarious.

Next a photo will leaked to their media of Hill and Bill and the 0’s fist fighting in the Oval Office. /s

I don’t believe Ed Klein, either.

Yeah. Some choice - Obama, Clinton or Klein. I pick 'none of the above'.

Obama doesn’t intend to go away in 2.5 years.

He’ll no longer be president but with his organization (which he’s refused to share with the Democrat party to help with the 2014 elections), he will maintain the reins of the Rat party if not discredited. If a Rat he doesn’t anoint or a Republican wins in 2016, he’ll use his organization to run a shadow government.

The Clintons want to get rid of him once and for all as “king” of the Rat party. That’s the context in which I made the statement.

If true and that’s a big if it discredits Hillary every bit as much as 0bummer.


I agree. Unfortunately, most Americans are sufficiently dumbed down that they won’t see it that way.

Ooops, I should have read the whole thread as someone else drew the same anology.

It will be next to impossible, IMO, for an ex-president to maintain control of the Party. He almost immediately becomes irrelevant.

I remember claims that B. Clinton would remain a power broker in the party after leaving office. As far as I can tell, didn’t happen.

YMMV

Do we have here an instance of two prevaricators striving to out-prevaricate each other? To those of us that have seen a photo of the Ambassador’s mutilated body, this palaver is asinine.

the clintonistas and the obamites have hated each other since team obama played the race card on billy in the 2008 SC primary.

it’s going to get good if Hillary runs. I can’t wait to see what she says about ACA.

Hillary always stands by her man. She may have had enough functioning brain cells to know that Barry was lying, and maybe she had a little twinge of remorse when she publicly supported him, but that’s been her MO all along. Attach herself to some powerful man and take any garbage from him that he wants to fling at her...and then be ready to fall on her sword to shield him.

This loser is a feminist role-model?
