Author Ed Klein: As Benghazi blame nears Hillary, Clintons grow furious
The Daily Caller ^ | 10/12/12 | Alex Pappas

Posted on 10/12/2012 2:10:52 PM PDT by justlittleoleme

In an exclusive interview with The Daily Caller, Klein said sources close to the Clintons tell him that Bill Clinton has assembled an informal legal team to discuss how the Secretary of State should deal with the issue of being blamed for not preventing the Benghazi terrorist attack last month.

White House spokesman Jay Carney told reporters during a press conference Friday that responsibility for the consulate in Libya fell on the State Department, not the White House.

If blame for the security failures falls to Hillary Clinton, Klein said, it’s possible that she would even consider resigning over the issue.

“Bill is working on a number of strategies about what Hillary ought to do. He’s even gone so far as to play with various doomsday scenarios including up to the idea that Hillary would consider resigning over the issue if the Obama team tries to use her as a scapegoat,” Klein told TheDC in an interview.

There were maybe 10k hits. And it had been up on Yout' toob for months. A typical video of a cat rolling over will generate a million hits in a day.

LOL Exactly right. Not one talking head has had the honesty (or intelligence) to ask; "How many videos are there on Youtube that are insulting to Mohammad/Islam/Muslims? Hundreds? Thousands? Tens of thousands?"

Worth clicking on to read the whole article. If this is true, things could be about to get real interesting.

However, the truth is that the "intelligence" about the film was a White House generated lie that the White House held onto and insisted upon for 14 days.

So it would seem since this came from the State Dept.

"The State Department news conference made very clear it had never been the State Department’s position, I repeat, never been the State Department’s position that in fact this assault was part of a reaction to a video or the like. This has been corroborated by numerous witnesses and whistleblowers."

The first liar never had a chance.

Now what's Hillbilly's excuse?
She is in charge of the State Dept.
She was the first one* to apologize for the "video."
I can't see how either one wiggles out of this.

* The Cairo embassy was technically the first one to apologize for the "video" in tweets on 9/11/12. But they are under the Sec. State's command and Hillbilly herself used their Twitter account to tweet the last apology of the day. I would hold her entirely responsible under those circumstances for every tweet from the Cairo embassy. There was some reason, albeit weak, for blaming the "video" for the mob in Cairo. A local cleric aired it on TV about two days before. So, the question becomes "who was the first one to cover the attack in Benghazi with that blanket excuse?" Hillary? 0bama? Or Ambassador Kennedy's favorite anonymous scapegoat; the 'intelligence community.'

It was patently ridiculous, and at odds with intelligence even reporters had at the time, to even blame the protests in Cairo on that stupid video.

OK, that works. I am more inclined to ‘co-conspirator’ though.

Blaming Hilary for the deficiencies of Obama will do a lot to promote the GOP’s “War on Women”, NOT!

THis administration is schizophrenic and their first exhibit is Joe Biden.

It’s a mystery to me why Hillary signed on to the video protest scenario from the get go if the State Dept. position, as revealed by the news conference, was never that the assault was a result of the video.

It makes Hillary look either deceptive or incompetent. (I think she’s both, but she wouldn’t want to be so obvious about it).

Was there a reason, not yet known, why she would conspire with the WH to deceive? If so, did they think that nothing would come of it until after the election?

Obama and Hillary had a meeting the other day, it was reported. I didn’t see a follow up on what was discussed. If a deal or truce was struck, Biden went off the reservation in the debate last night.

I wonder when those involved in the intel are going to stick their necks out?

It’s actually become “cool” to have been thrown under Obama’s bus.

“Bob! Hey, man! Nice tattoo! What is it?”

“It’s not a tattoo. It’s tread marks.”

“Me too! Look!”

“Man! You look like you got measles on your behind!”

“Yeah. It was winter.....studded snow tires.”

IMO Hillbilly probably started the "video" excuse and 0bama went along because he's not interested in details and trusts her. His mistake to be sure since she has screwed up everything she has ever done but he's too arrogant to think that. He picked her therefore she is the best Sec. State ever. She also believes she can "handle" anything. They both have reason to think they are untouchable.

IMO Hillary was being deceptive because she was involved in a conspiracy to bring about the terror in Benghazi. Yes I think she and Obama are both terrorists.
