Clinton Bristled at Benghazi Deception
nypost.com ^ | 6/22/14 | Edward Klein

Posted on 06/22/2014 10:30:23 AM PDT by drpix

“Hillary was stunned when she heard the president talk about the Benghazi attack,” one of her top legal advisers said in an interview. “Obama wanted her to say that the attack had been a spontaneous demonstration triggered by an obscure video on the Internet that demeaned the Prophet Mohammed.”

This adviser continued: “Hillary told Obama, ‘Mr. President, that story isn’t credible. Among other things, it ignores the fact that the attack occurred on 9/11.’ But the president was adamant. He said, ‘Hillary, I need you to put out a State Department release as soon as possible.’”

“I think it was George Will who said, Clinton may not be the worst president, but he is the worst person to ever become president.”

I think he first said that before the Kenyan Commie. I wonder what he thinks now.

But why would Edward Klein be interested in “rehabilitating” Hillary?

If anything, it shows that she is a stranger to the truth and that she has no problem prostituting herself for political gain.

Note however:

1. That she did it with Bill's agreement.

2. And she did it to save Obama's presidency.

Ergo, she isn't going to lose any Democrat votes over the issue.

Yeh, I would be very wary of this Ed Klein book. Who is putting him up to this?

Klein’s book claims she has a heart condition that should disqualify her from running - wonder if it was her condition that caused her to fall and get a concussion ...

I know the difference between Ed and Joe, but Years ago Ed said he was FRIENDS with the Clintons.....he will probably say that Hillary has EXCELLENT health especially since he gave her COVER for Benghazi! I suspect EVERYONE’s motives.

This article is satire, right? [/s]

That which is too good to be true, usually isn't, sad to say.

Methinks Eddie's sources have dried up, and he's writing on empty.

Hillary called Bill Clinton, who was at his penthouse apartment in the William J. Clinton Presidential Library in Little Rock

Riiight! This is guano, meant to enhance Hillary's image vs Barack's. But remember, with respect to 2016, Obama's image is not important, but that of the Hildebeest most certainly is!

Must have added the penthouse later.

LOL - good one garjog. Did you notice Bill’s objection was basically that it was a lie that might not work?

And Carl’s exactly right, you put 10 people on that and you say, go to work. You don’t have to give me the answers tomorrow or the next day, but take your time. The same on the IRS scandal. That is a real issue. Some people should move to Cincinnati and get hotel rooms and say, we’re going to talk to everyone who worked in that division of the IRS.

BERNSTEIN: Also, as happened in Watergate, let some Democrats get up and say, we want a real bipartisan investigation of what happened in Cincinnati, in the IRS.

WOW! These two - Woodward and Bernstein - are speaking of a time when journalism was a honorable - trusted... didn't pay much but adherents were respected. Nice to hear 'old school' ...

Today's so-called 'journalists' are fashionistas... All attitude and energy - no substance. A mile wide - an inch deep... the modern New York Times... or NBC...

“BERNSTEIN: Also, as happened in Watergate, let some Democrats get up and say, we want a real bipartisan investigation of what happened in Cincinnati, in the IRS.”

Bernstein is right that manpower needs to saturate the likely perps involved in the cover-up but they he hasn’t kept up on where the investigation has gone and it has moved way beyond Cincinnati and into IRS political-appointee staffer who made numerous trips into the White House seeming to be directly coordinating persecution of the Tea Party groups.

“But why would Edward Klein be interested in ‘rehabilitating’ Hillary?”

This damns Hillary for the cover-up! As Klein explains, Barry (actually Jarrett) boxed Hillary in.

Ed Klein’s narrative is that Barry’s campaign team cooked up the video narrative to deflect blame for the 9/11 anniversary sucker-punch away from his administration and onto insensitive “right-wing Christian” anti-Muslim film makers.

I expect that when the full details and testimony of the suppressed military come out it will be revealed that from the minute that the military-style 9/11 anniversary assault was detected, Barry’s political team ordered Barry to make sure that a military-style response be suppressed at all costs to save his election and before 10PM the video narrative was dreamed up and then rammed down Hillary’s throat.

If she didn’t go along then her 2016 campaign was toast because she couldn’t win without blacks who would never forgive her if she took down Barry over Benghazi.

When a reporter's doing good reporting, they start at the bottom and work their way up. Burning shoe leather... building a story....

Today's journalists have elite democrat handlers - people who give them sources to ready-made stories with lists of people to talk to. They'll also shut off the spigot if 'journalists' wander too far off the liberal plantation. Not a vocalized threat, but one that sits on the table...

"Journalists' fool themselves by saying 'yeah, we know who - and why - we're getting this information - and what their agenda is, but it's a great story none the less'. In short they're selling out while giving themselves an excuse about selling out.

Have you noticed how little you trust journalists today?

Journalists have become lazy, wedded to the idea of being cool, and driven by dreams of 'prizes'. The only 'prize' worth having is the trust and respect of your readers... somewhere along the line they've forgotten that.

Benghazi was not Hillary’s Fault. It was some black guy.

Who is this Ed Klein guy?

All that I've read so far from his book sounds ridiculous. Though, I can't tell who he's trying to make more foolish, Hillary, or the Hillary haters who swallow his stupid stories.

It's like the whole book is a prank to see who he can get to believe the tall tales.

True. Guess I should expand my statement to say that Bill, Obama and Dems in general are strangers to the truth and have no problem prostituting themselves for political and ideological gain.
