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.

However, the amount of information coming out since the debate last night is going to outrun everybody's headlights. The WH, of course, if trying to pin this on State. In other words, it's Hillary's fault.
Do you think Bill and Hill are going to put up with that? Obama's support is crumbling. His administration is imploding.
He has only one way out. Look for a "wag the dog" scenario in Libya or Syria. The cassus belli has already occurred.
When Ambassador Kennedy and others say they got it from "the intelligence community" I think they are speaking of non-existent beings. FWIW I think Issa was speaking of intel personnel when he said "whistle blowers" told the Oversight Committee 'no one ever said that.'
Pass the popcorn!
Thanks for that link. Did they want to leave the Benghazi area open territory for terrorists for some reason? Sounds wild but what isn’t here?
Yeah, whats he doing at north central?
It did seem like an odd choice. I would have expected them to use one of the IPS schools.
There may be an intel community but the message was spoken by one voice.
I suspect there is a circular path where the White House issued orders a bout what the intel should be and that was handed down to the voice that delivered the message to the White House.
Issa apparently got word from someone tangential to the circle
funny, is that something like an initiation?
———is not receiving accurate and timely intelligence ———
To receive there must be a receiver. Since the briefings were not attended, the delivery had to have been written. If not read, was it delivered?
Reading intel was likely at the bottom of a do list totally dominated by improving steadily declining re election chances.
It can be argued the President simply didn’t give a damn about anything but reelection. He lost track of reality.
An anonymous martyr. Who do they belong to? State? WH? The only logical move for both 0 & H is to toss the CIA (Petraeus) under the bus. Think he'll go quietly?
Will the press and the people accept such a lame buck-passing excuse? It wouldn't hold water anyway.
Hillary was involved in investigating Nixon; now she is to be investigated. She is seeing it all from both sides now.
It's typical liberal arrogance, thinking “I-am-so-brillant-I-don't-need-to-take-the-time-to-gain-experience-like-the-common-folk-do! If-a-nonIvy-League-or-even-a-high-school-grad-can-gain-managment-skills-, it-must-be-easy!”
Everyone would be tangential to the circle you describe except 0bama.
I agree. I don’t think he is as bumbling and incompetent as he appears to be. I think 0 & H underestimate each other. Love to see them go hammer and tongs at each other. Tarantula vs. scorpion.
Cool, thanks.
When Biden said "We didn't know" that the people in Libya requested more security, Ryan should have demanded to know who "We' was.
If the White House didn't know, why is it the State Dept didn't pass that information on? If so, then heads should roll inside the State Department, including Hillary.
If the State Department did pass that request to the White House and the "We" are Joe Biden and Barak Obama who were not informed, then heads should roll inside the White House starting with the Chief of Staff.
Or perhaps is was reported to the President in his Daily Intel Brief that he was too damn busy to read considering he had to rehearse for his Vaudeville act on Letterman.
IMHO, Ryan should have demanded to know who We are.
