On Tuesday night’s “On the Record with Greta Van Susteren” on the Fox News Channel, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said that major news networks might have secret emails proving that the White House canceled plans to assist the besieged U.S. Embassy in Benghazi.
Gingrich said that the bombshell emails could be revealed within the next two days.
“There is a rumor — I want to be clear, it’s a rumor — that at least two networks have emails from the National Security Adviser’s office telling a counterterrorism group to stand down,” Gingrich said. “But they were a group in real-time trying to mobilize marines and C-130s and the fighter aircraft, and they were told explicitly by the White House stand down and do nothing. This is not a terrorist action

“Everybody’s talking about it” isn’t much of a news peg, especially when there’s much bigger stuff out there.
And there is.
Think about it: the attack was Sept. 11. FOX didn’t run the “stand down” story till Oct. 26. From the sound of it, that was likely a coordinated leak from fed-up military/intelligence sources. There is more.
You don’t offer gruel when meat is available. MSM isn’t going to run with rumors or warmed-over hearsay. And I don’t want them to.
We live in an instantaneous world now, but some things take time. Nobody paid attention to Woodward and Bernstein in 1972, not for months, not till well after that election. It was March ‘73 before McCord spilled his story and Watergate blew wide open, and it took another year and a half for it to play out.
Ordinarily, this story would build, piece by piece, over weeks and months. But there is an election next week, which makes us all want to expedite it. We want, and need, it NOW.
If FOX had them, they’d run with them.
The other “news” outlets, I doubt...they’re oh so in the tank for Obamugabe.
No truer words were ever spoken. However, I think it was Sheryl (don’t remember her last name) from CBS, who first broke the Benghazi story. So, maybe, just maybe ............
Greta’s been doing the work of ALL the networks, all by her lonesome. I’m real proud of the hard hitting questions she has been asking, the types of people she has on her show.
I hope so.
Even if its after the election, I want them charged and tried. Dereliction of duty or something.
You would want it kept quiet also.Somebody with HTML skills........

in stephen kings, the stand, when society crumbles because of a virus, a van full of reporters drives up to the entrance of some army base and demands entrance. as all the reporters are holding their mics, the guard says, we dont have to listen to you pinko commies anymore.
so yeah, when we crash we can tell the media to shove it.
but, it still will feel damn good.
Very interesting
As a collective, they lost this decades ago. From the coverups of FDRs infirmity, to Kennedy's womanizing right on up to Watergate where the entire establishment hounded Nixon out of office over a piss ant break in and cover up. Protect the liberals/Democrats, hound the Republicans is their unspoken credo.
If that “Infamous December Sunday” had occurred during the Obama administration, it would have been described as “an accident during the set-up for the upcoming Fourth of July fireworks demonstration”.
Attkisson.
She’s also been doing a good job covering Fast and Furious.
And may he take Hillary down with him!
Unspoken???
“There is a rumor — I want to be clear, it’s a rumor — that at least two networks have emails from the National Security Adviser’s office telling a counterterrorism group to stand down,” Gingrich said. “But they were a group in real-time trying to mobilize marines and C-130s and the fighter aircraft, and they were told explicitly by the White House stand down and do nothing. This is not a terrorist action. If that is true, and I’ve been told this by a fairly reliable U.S. senator, if that is true and comes out, I think it raises enormous questions about the president’s role, and Tom Donilon, the National Security Adviser’s role, the Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, who has taken it on his own shoulders, that he said don’t go. And that is, I think, very dubious, given that the president said he had instructions they are supposed to do everything they could to secure American personnel.”
The implications of this are profound. I wonder WHICH networks have them and if they were waiting for Sandy to pass before publicizing them.
“The other big story, I think, that is going to break is on corruption and extraordinary waste in the solar power grants and direct involvement by the Obama White House, including the president, in the solar panel grants involving billions of dollars, and I suspect that’s going to break Wednesday and Thursday of this week,” Gingrich added.
FNC and CBS (Sharyl Attkisson)?
“fairly reliable U.S. senator” Newt said. Fairly is an interesting word. I wonder how the senator feels that Newt considers him fairly reliable?
Wonder if someone told Obama about this, and the possible "Green Energy Scandal" Newt also mentioned, when he landed in Orlando the other night and then he decided to turn around and head back to the (insert manly-man deep voice) "White House Situation Room" to act presidential and "monitor the storm."
Idi Obama is certainly trying to "act" Presidential all of a sudden.
Leaving the campaign trail to his surrogate Liar-in-Chief, Bill Clinton, while he tours the devastation of Jersey.
