What would you be focusing on in the Benghazi investigation?” I spent many years in the investigation biz, so it’s only natural that I’ve been asked that question a lot lately.
… So if I were investigating Benghazi, I’d be homing in on that 10 P.M. phone call. That’s the one between President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton — the one that’s gotten close to zero attention.
... We have heard almost nothing about what Obama was doing that night. Back in February, though, CNS News did manage to pry one grudging disclosure out of White House mendacity mogul Jay Carney: “At about 10 P.M., the president called Secretary Clinton to get an update on the situation.”
Obviously, it is not a detail Carney was anxious to share. Indeed, it contradicted an earlier White House account that claimed the president had not spoken with Clinton or other top administration officials that night.
... In this instance, though, Carney’s hand was forced by then-secretary Clinton. Testifying before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in January, she recounted first learning at about 4 P.M. on September 11 that the State Department facility in Benghazi was under attack.
That was very shortly after the siege started. Over the hours that followed, Clinton stated, “we were in continuous meetings and conversations, both within the department, with our team in Tripoli, with the interagency and internationally.” It was in the course of this “constant ongoing discussion and sets of meetings” that Clinton then recalled: “I spoke with President Obama later in the evening to, you know, bring him up to date, to hear his perspective.”
Yes, the 10 P.M. phone call.

Where’s a taping system when we really need it? Doesn’t Obama plan on writing his memoirs one day?
What makes you think Obama can write? He’s affirmative action all the way.
Exactly why I’m hoping he’s running the tape - for posterity.
It would be hard to find out what they discussed. So I feel the phone call is important in that it took place, but what was said is lost. No I would concentrate on the post attack cover-up. Those are facts that can be proven.
Wait, I thought it was 3:00 AM?
Obama: “Hillary, what should I do?”
Clinton: “Blame it on the video, then go play golf”.
Get Holder to confiscate the phone records...not gonna happen.
Tell him Barry’s phone line is an AP number, he’ll turn over the tapes.
Ring!
“Hillary, what’s up?”
“Shut up you turd! Some a**hole ex-seals f***ed up the whole operation and tried to rescue our people!”
“That’s terrible! Is there any good news?”
“Yeah, the seals are dead and won’t be talking.”
“Whew! Thanks!”
“Just STFU and get ready for Vegas. I’ll have the cover story when you get back.”
“Yes Ma’am...”
Click.
Are WH calls still taped or is that why he insisted on keeping his blackberry?
That’s why he has a males assistant with him at all times—so they can fill Bill Ayers in on what to write.
“There are no Nazis in Germany. It was those damn Eskimos!”
This was a State Department operation. CIA is being blamed for the misinformation, but information coming out shows that Clinton was/is running the response from state.
The Ambassador was in a HIGH RISK city meeting a Turkish diplomat. Turkey borders Syria.
Libya and Syria are embroiled in Civil Wars with Muslim Brotherhood agents present (at least in Libya).
Hillary Clinton’s #1 advisor at State, Huma Abedin, has family ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.
The whole Benghazi mess stinks to high heaven. I bet we don’t know 10% of what happened in Libya.
Liberals think “tea partiers” and conservatives are nuts because we say Obama is a blame America first kinda guy. So what does Obama do when our embassy is attacked? He blames a video made in America. Wow.
Anyone wanting on or off this ping list, please advise.
I think Obama had his butt buddy Reggie with him and he didn’t want to be disturbed.
"Hillary, I'm all Choomed up right now and I can't
deal with any of that stuff tonight. Just tell Ben
or whoever it is you'll take care of it next week."
I can only wonder when the Seals, the Army, Navy, Marines etc. are going to say we have had enough of this,,, what was it Vlady called him,,, ahhh yes, this “buffoon” in the white house. Oh wait, they are holding up umbrellas for him.
