Newly-released documents reveal direct White House involvement in steering the public narrative about the September 11, 2012 terrorist attacks in Benghazi, Libya, toward that of a spontaneous protest that never happened.
One of the operative documents, which the government had withheld from Congress and reporters for a year and a half, is an internal September 14, 2012 email to White House press officials from Ben Rhodes, President Obamas Assistant and Deputy National Security Advisor. (Disclosure:Ben Rhodes is the brother of David Rhodes, the President of CBS News, where I was employed until March.) In the email, Ben Rhodes lists as a goal the White House desire To underscore that these protests are rooted in an Internet video, and not a broader failure or policy.
The email is entitled, RE: PREP CALL with Susan, Saturday at 4:00 pm ET and refers to White House involvement in preparing then-U.S.Ambassador to the U.N. Susan Rice for her upcoming appearance on Sunday television network political talk shows.
The Rhodes email states that another goal is To reinforce the President and Administrations strength and steadiness in dealing with difficult challenges.
Kraut WAS wrong. I get what you’re saying, but the only way it’s over is if we let it be over. There is a whole so far uncontrolled internet that says it ain’t over.
Kraut is an animal of the MSM. He still thinks that if it dies there, it dies everywhere. Bull. I used to run a niche website with more readers a day than MSNBC has in a month. And that was in the 90s. Palin tweets something and jets hundreds of thousands of net hits every time.
It is over when WE say it’s over.
The fat lady has yet to even enter the building.....yet alone sing....so its far from being over.
Yup.
I am baffled at why we do not use the internet in an organized way to shut out and bypass the MSM. Well not baffled. But if all the Right wing website personalities that spend more time on TV than researching their stories told the MSM ‘Sorry” and made their content exclusive to each other, the MSM would be in deep poop.
Not one detractor to the idea has ever explained to me how it is that Palin can do what she does on social media and no one else can. But I have the answer. Because no one tries.
What stops Bhoner and the GOP from using the Youtube channels they have to do their own press conferences? Why go to the media to be sniped? Do as Reagan did in the pre net days and go with your message to the people directly.
Yea I know Bhoner is a lib that refuses to in order to HELP dems. But someone like Cruz SHOULD.
So many easy ways to turn this around and no one in a position to even tries.
Look, almost everyone in D.C. is on the trillion dollar gravy train and so they put on a little play for us - left right left right.....while actually we only go left and down. Our part is supposed to be that we shut up and do as we are told.
Ted Cruz, Sarah, if she could get elected, and a very few others appear to be the exceptions.
can somebody tell me why, in cases like this, they didn’t just delete all traces of the email. even if they “accidentally” lost the hard drive?
Impeach and remove
Because even if they did, the Machivellians would sneak a copy or two somewhere for safekeeping. And there are systems in place not even the commies can easily avoid anyway.
“Of course not, Boehner is spineless. Maybe he’ll have a good cry over it, instead. “
SSSHHHH. Don’t bother the Congressional GOPe. They are busy pimping amnesty.
- - - Judicial Watch announced today that on April 18, 2014, it obtained 41 new Benghazi-related State Department documents. - - -
THAT WAS ELEVEN DAYS AGO!
WHY THE DELAY?
Disgraced Boehner has been proven to be the WORST House Speaker ever, by a simple request for information by Judicial Watch lawyers. Pathetic!
RESIGN Boehner, so TREY GOWDY can tomorrow be Speaker of the US House of Representatives!
By lying about the Administration's strength, steadyness, and honesty in dealing with difficult challenges?
WTF?!
0bama was notified immediately and automatically when the Benghazi consulate triggered the "Imminent Danger Notification System" alert. He did nothing.

Denial of prior requests for security were a dereliction of duty. The lies and misdirection about the "video" after the attack were fraud and malfeasance under the color of authority. The inaction during the attack was something more than that.
The failure to act during the attack is the direct equivalent of desertion IMO.
ONE man had the authority to act that night.
EXCLUSIVE: CIA operators were denied request for help during Benghazi attack, sources say
0bama refused to act! He left 41 in the breach.
Benghazi bump for later...
They also put a guy in jail for that video
Smoking gun? Not even close. Libs are already claiming the documents and emails were altered by the right. There will never be a smoking gun.
>> Regime: “To underscore that these protests are rooted in an Internet video, and not a broader failure or policy.”
The dirtbags pissed on the 1st Amendment.
Keep up the good work, Sharyl.
