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, its possible that she would even consider resigning over the issue.
Bill is working on a number of strategies about what Hillary ought to do. Hes 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.

One could probably run a number of profitable little side bet/ventures s in various MidEast cities if one had diplomatic pouch.

Earlier experience with Vince Foster will come in handy now.
See, that’s why it’s so important to have experienced hands in government.

Walid seems to know some of the players and he says they are palistinians.

The truth is going to come out soon and I think some in Congress already know what happened. I hope so on both accounts.
Timing will be interesting.
Very.
Thanks again for your comments.

It is plausible that this crew would have the gall to think they could pull something like that off.
It's crazy but it makes a certain sense.

Thanks for that link. I hadn't seen that story at all. Clapper has a problem with his version of things. In the Oversight Committee it came out that DAS Lamb (and presumably others) were getting real-time info, including security video feeds, from the Benghazi consulate and there was no indication of any activity, much less protests, prior to the military style assault.
If that's the best he can come up with maybe he should go back to Australia.

This is a huge mess and we are only seeing 5% of it. Who are the guys that made the film? Who were they working for, in other words, who paid for the film to be made? Who uploaded the trailer to youtube and why? Who sent the copy to the Egyptian cleric and why? What was the ambassador doing in Benghazi without any security on 9/11? Was he being set up? By whom? For what purpose? Why did the White House stick to the ridiculous cover story for weeks? Why is the administration picking a fight with the Clintons a few weeks before the election?
May I add:
Why is Petraeus apparently (in effect) letting himself and his people take the hit for this?

If that's the best he can come up with maybe he should go back to Australia. No kidding. But if they (Australia) are smart, they won't take him back.
Then there is Gen. Petraeus, taking a somewhat similar line, to my near disbelief. I'll repeat my question (above, to Former Proud Canadian), for you (and anyone else!):
Why is Petraeus apparently (in effect) letting himself and his people take the hit for this?

Perfect analogy, would love to see that happen, and we may yet.
To: jusduat
This whole thing is strange from the getgo. The film story was too pat. First whiff of it comes out of Cairo Embassy. Dems jump on it, filmmaker hauled off in the middle of the night. Leaks, lies, worldwide demonstrations. Really, just what is going on here people?

Thanks Daffy, I have not forgotten that. It just gets deeper and deeper into their dark abyss. Do you ever wonder WHY? Why do they sell out? What are they thinking? Do they not understand they are being used, and when their usefulness is up, they too will be killed?
I guess once you dance with the Devil, you can never go back.
To: Sleeping Freeper
That’s not a bad attempt to connect the dots at all. You rightly point out that it’s a big mystery why they pushed so hard to shift blame to a half-baked video no one had seen. Also right that it was bound to fall apart. Something was/is being covered up by that and no one has come up with anything that really makes sense.

Give this thing a couple of days to percolate. He won’t lie down.

Yeah, I don’t think Hillary is going under the bus as easily as the dead white grandmother or the reverend.
