Ed Klein: Bill Clinton ‘Urging’ Hillary to Release Benghazi Documents That Would ‘Exonerate’ Her, Destroy Obama’s Re-Election Hopes
Posted on October 24, 2012 at 10:48pm by Jason Howerton
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton ordered additional security for the U.S. mission in Benghazi ahead of the terrorist attack but the orders were never carried out, according to “legal counsel” to Clinton who spoke to best-selling author Ed Klein.
Those same sources also say former President Bill Clinton has been “urging” his wife to release official State Department documents that prove she called for additional security at the compound in Libya, which would almost certainly result in President Obama losing the election.
Appearing on TheBlazeTV’s “Wilkow!” on Wednesday night, Klein told host Andrew Wilkow that Bill and Hillary Clinton have been having “big fights” for “two or three weeks” about the issue, according to his two sources on Clinton’s legal counsel.
While Bill Clinton wishes his wife would “exonerate” herself by releasing the documents that show she wasn’t at fault for the tragic security failure in Libya, the secretary of state refuses to do so because she doesn’t want to be viewed as a traitor to the Democratic party.
On Glenn Beck’s radio show earlier on Wednesday, Klein said his information comes from two “very good” sources.
Wilkow pointed out the obvious, that the Obamas and the Clintons have a “very behind the scenes, tense relationship” — to put it lightly.
“I said to you last night, and I think I stand corrected, that it seemed like Obama out-Clintoned the Clintons,” Wilkow said. “But Clinton seems to have gone along with all of this because he knew that Hillary would be exonerated in the end.”
He then asked Klein whether he thought Clinton would resign over the Libya scandal and expose the truth.
“No,” the author said immediately. “I can’t imagine that she would resign. It would bring down the entire administration. [Obama] would lose the election and she would be essentially blamed by the left-wing base of the party.”
“She will not be tarred with the blame for bringing down this administration,” Klein added.
In an exclusive interview with TheBlaze, Klein confirmed that Bill and Hillary Clinton have been engaging in “heated discussions” where the former president has urged his wife to “release the documents that would exonerate her.”
He reiterated that Clinton has refused to do so because she fears she would look like a “Judas,” or a traitor, in the administration and it might hurt her chances for a presidential nomination in 2016.
If the claims turn out to be true and Clinton did suggest more security be sent to Benghazi, it is appropriate to ask: why didn’t it happen?
Klein said Clinton’s request for beefed up security would have to go through CIA special ops and or the Pentagon.
“But none of that would happen with the National Security advisor to the president of the United States Tom Donnellan going to the president and saying, ‘We want to send reinforcements to Libya because our ambassador is in jeopardy,’” Klein explained.
Ultimately, he indicated the ultimate authority would have been President Obama.
Wilkow and Klein also discussed what role Obama’s closest advisor, Valerie Jarrett, played in the Benghazi cover-up.
By Obama’s own admission, Klein said, the president never makes a big decision without first consulting with Jarrett.
“We have to assume that Valerie Jarrett, who is also by the way hooked into the Chicago campaign…that she was part of this cover-up in the White House.”
He continued: “The CIA got cables, the Department of Defense got cables, the NSA got cables during the attack on Benghazi, in addition to the emails that have since been made public. We know that there are cables that we haven’t seen yet, confirming the State Department cables that this was an al-Qaeda linked attack.”
These new revelations, following Tuesday night’s explosive report that 300 to 400 national security officials received emails detailing the Benghazi terrorist attack as it was happening, raise fresh questions about the truth behind the Benghazi attack.
The emails revealed that the Libyan radical Islamic group Ansar al-Sharia claimed responsibility for the attack just two hours after it began. White House officials told CBS News that an unmanned Predator drone was sent over the U.S. mission in Libya, providing Washington with a live feed to the chaos that unfolded.
Don’t tell me how to post.
That is the way of the Clinton's. Send it up, see how it plays. So far on FR it is playing very well for her/them.
Something else may be going on as well. Perhaps Chelsea is being threatened. You do love your daughter, don't you?, just saying. The Clintons were very good teachers, and Obama & crew learned their game better than they could play it.
Arkansas thugs against Chicago mobsters, what ya think?
Ain't it amazin' that The Walking Gaffe Machine and the Hildebeest are all that the Democrat party has to offer?
There is no bench, no new faces, to speak of. Between them, the Clintons, Obama and the dearly departed "Lion of the Senate" have so dominated the party for twenty years that the next generation of Democrat leaders got plowed under.
The 'Rats have a serious leadership vacuum...
It just keeps getting worse for Obama, doesn’t it?
This is just another trial balloon for the Clintons. Send it up, see how it plays, will people forgive her and let her off. Depends.
Remember the Clinton's were always famous for sending up those trial balloons. Otherwise why is Bill exposing to us that she has some documents?
If that is true then someone went around her and countermanded her orders. Only one person has that authority.
I have never heard of that before, did it really happen? Not questioning your knowing it, just is there a source or witnesses to this?
One thought I had about this was exactly along those lines: Perhaps they have done this again to keep Hillary quiet, and that is what she is afraid of. Chelsea is also married to a Jew, which makes her doubly vulnerable.
Floating this trial balloon and slowing leaking information gives her some protection, if anything happens we know where to look first. The Clintons really don't know what they sold their souls to, YET.
I agree. I can’t think of a single person in their upper echelon.
I do know, however, that Hillary is served by knocking off Joe Biden now. Her challenge is doing it and leaving no fingerprints.
“As much as I’d like to believe it, this sounds like a huge CYA for all parties involved in the coverup.”
I agree. Bill and Hill have reaped the whirlwind. They have contracted the Obama pox and it is a real ugly disease.
Obozo thinks this will go away after the elections. But, he is wrong.
“Don’t tell me how to post.”
bd476 started the thread, I think they are entitled to suggest you tone it down.
But I’ve always liked to tease the kids that freak out easily, so: what’s wrong, can’t control your perverted thoughts?
If the 0bama regime had been honest about this from the get-go and said 'terrorist attack' instead of pulling a YouTube video out of a hat as cover, we'd not be drowning in the minutia of this event. Just another phase in 0bama's war on our national security and covert ops. Everything we shouldn't know, we know. Everything we should know, we don't; Just like the OBL raid.
“As bad as the Clintons were, no one is as narcissistic as Obama”
Bill Clinton and Obama are matched bookends. Clinton is as narcissistic as Obama. They are both psychopathic liars too.
Hillary is an ugly, hateful, old hag. She was out of her league the day she became Secretary of State. She obviously is a spineless wimp masquerading around as a tough broad that is just so intelligent.
Unfortunately for Hill, her life has been just the opposite.

Actually two people do, Obama and Jarrett. Then again it might really be only one, it’s just that one is not Obama
Maybe that’s why she read her statement next to the coffins sounding like someone with Stockholm Syndrome. I always did think that was some sort of clue. Was she rapid-blinking the morse code for “TORTURE” while she did spoke?
I wish they'd obliterate each other and we can all wash our hands of the whole lot of them.
It’s a good thing Obama is president of 57 states, because pretty soon Romney’s going to run out of the 50 states available for him to win.
You and me both, and quick before Chelsea drops something.
OMG, funny. I forgot about those other 7 states, any word on them yet, poll numbers? I guess they may vote on Nov 7th. (that may not be to far fetched).
