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.

RE: “As bad as the Clintons were, no one is as narcissistic as Obama.”

*****

Agree — We had eight years of BC and HC and the USA didn’t disappear — as horrible as they are, I don’t think they hate the country. I don’t think they are Muslim sympathizers, or Jew-haters, ad nauseum.

This has been a whole new ballgame with BO and not a good one. Many scoff at Glenn Beck but just tonight there was a video on his site re his radio show — he goes step by step linking BO into the scenario on 9/11/12 — with that dinner the Ambassador had with the Turkish official; claims BO is close to the Turk; in fact, that the Turk is BO’s closest ally in that region.

Upshot is that Beck begins to see that it’s possible BO, this POTUS, is ‘on the wrong side!’ Beck says Benghazi-gate is like Fast & Furious on steroids. Speaks of US weaponry found in the hands of Syrians.

It sounds crazy at first but then makes some sense — on those few networks that are covering this, like Fox, people like Greta van Susteren are tearing their hair out night after night since 9/11 trying to figure out why there is such confusion about what happened and why, and why on earth the WH kept repeating that insane ‘video trailer’ story as the cause of the mayhem, over and over.

Maybe I need to put on my tinfoil hat but I’m finding myself agreeing with Beck on this — even before hearing him say ‘F&F on Steroids” that thought popped into my head as he spoke of what had apparently transpired earlier on 9/11. It’s worth a look at Beck’s site — if only to satisfy curiosity.

I also agree that Hillary needs to come clean, and NOW — no more waiting if she’s going to do it. It’s late, yes, but in a popularity contest I think overwhelmingly the country would forgive her over BO, who is looking like a total pariah these days.

I love the smell of Dem infighting in the morning. I hate that the stupidity behind it cost the lives of four Americans for no good reason in what should have been a preventable situation.

Notice that this damning information manages to leak out anyway? The Clinton’s: having their cake and eating it too since Bill escaped some slime pond in Hot Springs, Arkansas. (No offense meant to Arkansans)

Well I think she’ll end up spilling the beans.

The truth will come out in short order whether she is the one who tells or not. So she’s not saving herself by doing this - at least not long term [like 2016.] If she doesn’t tell, the info will still come out and could damage her badly irrespective of who wins on 11/6.

I be confoost! How can any right thinking Conservative believe that Hillary Clinton will do the right thing? She will always do the Left thing.

Hillary Clinton is, always has been, always will be a commie just like the dumbass currently in the WH. She will do whatever is necessary ie; lie, cheat, steal just like Obama to achieve basically the same goals Obama seeks.

All of this exposed in this article is probably trumped up Hillary/Bill Clinton fantasy designed to create a favorable vision of Hillary, and apparently from some of the commentary people are falling for it.

The Clinton’s are for the Clinton’s. Never have they been for the good of this country. Just themselves, and their Communist perspective which serves them well.

we came; we saw; he died

Methinks Hillary has much blood on her hands as well. I believe this is the ACTUAL video that prompted Al Qaeda/Gaddafi supporters to avenge his death by attacking our embassy. As the SOS of The USA, this witch laughed about Gaddafi's death on national TV?! Just imagine what this media would do if say Dick Cheney had done something similar.

This is a disgusting piece of human trash to be so callous about human life. And the sheer hypocrisy is deafening!

Good point. Ohio purged 450K dead and fake people I read. Fake states is a great way to make up for it.

Plus Spain used to have Texas, so probably Mexico and Spain, England, Italy, France, I think the Dutch and ... the Vikings - yeah the state of Viking - most of them are dead so they can vote ... that’s 7 states right there, pretty much all democrats except for the dead Vikings.

I hesitate to post this. I started writing it last night as a paragraph or two, and it went from there ... but this is the fundamental psychological difference most of us sense - i.e. that sense that Bill and HIll and Joe would suck, but at least they seem sort of American, even if Amero-Communist ... Hope I don't crash the internets with the length of this, please pardon editing errors.

*********************************************

As to whether Clinton and Obama are two of a kind ... nope.

Obama is a fundamentally more poisonous version of narcissist than BIll Clinton, in fact he is not a truly a narcissist. He is a sociopath.

I'm talking clinically here - not name calling. There is a fundamental difference, and it's rather frightening. Grows out of the same initial wound, different coping strategies that then become inherent thinking habits.

The fundamental defining trait of a sociopath is NOT that they stab people in showers. Nor just that they lie and manipulate a lot (they do, but that's not the defining characteristic,) it's that they are incapable of any connection with their fellow man. This is because they feel they are connected to something greater. It's a coping mechanism they used to deal with rejection and abandonment. The more they coped this way, the more disconnected they felt, hence the more separation, and on and on. Spiral of disconnection.

Clinton is scum, but he knows he's a narcissist. And he knows he needs people. His ego is defined by the love and admiration of those around him. He has no 'self.' Clinton likes mankind because he needs them, otherwise there would be no one to love him. That's narcissism. They manipulate, they lie, will be cruel if necessary, but they are connected, if only because of need, and even though the focus, the purpose of the connection is themselves.

Obama dislikes mankind. In any personal level interaction, he will not even try to make a connection because personal rejection is the fundamental defining characteristic of his history. He never mastered Clinton's coping strategy. Whereas a narcissist's abandonment leads them so seek connection, sociopaths avoid connection at all cost. So, Instead, he competes, outshines, defeats others. He trades the shallow gratification of winning for the deeper gratification of a connection. He's totally uncomfortable losing at anything, because his primary fear is to be dominated. If no one dominates you, no one can reject you. Mitt dominated him. He hates Mitt for that. On a personal level, he hates it more than losing the election. It hurts him more.

Notice that Obama can relate to crowds where there is no personal connection. He himself has commented on how he sort of disdained people when he'd give a soaring speech, and they'd fall for it. But left one on one - he either avoids it entirely - as pols in DC can testify to - or he falls apart into a stuttering mess, to which debate watchers can testify. Or, as with Boener, he seeks victory rather than compromise. Compromise is the same as being dominated. His entire unconscious life strategy is to avoid domination.

So, in debates 2 and 3, he carried TOTUS with him in his frontal lobe, and that's why he just kept staring into the nothingness of the crowd, regurgitating combinations of old phrases from old speeches.

Put simply: - Clinton needs people because that's where he gets his love. - Obama disdains people because that's where he gets rejected (a crowd is not a person, it's an abstraction, quite safe.)

Clinton has a sick need for attraction. Obama has a sick aversion for rejection.

Kids with abandonment issues pick one of the two as a coping mechanism.

Often, this coping mechanism becomes a great strength. Clinton feels their pain - connection. Obama soars above to be admired, worshipped - disconnection, separate.

But ... the coping mechanism cuts both ways.

Obama ultimately fell because he couldn't compromise his great vision. Hence he destroyed the deal with Boener.

Clinton fell because a hussy admired him.

Obama's is a far, far more dangerous imbalance in a leader.

Finally ... and this what makes the sociopath a thousand times more dangerous than the mere narcissist:

The narcissist is merely absorbed with himself and busy using others as a means to servie his ego.

The sociopath, especially expressed as a megalomaniac, is busy using others as a means to servie his holy mission. Why the holy mission? Because he never found a way to ease his suffering as the narcissist did by seeking admiration. He never solved the problem, so, the best he can do is explain it with a story grand enough to justify the suffering.

He is deeply invested in a heroic self image and an epic heroic mission to his existence - a story he created to explain his suffering - so deeply invested that he believes in it as revealed truth, it's reason for being and for suffering. Any suffering he experiences is only more proof of his mission, because heroic missions require sacrifice and suffering.

Including the suffering of others. Therefore he believes anything is moral in service to this mission because of his direct connection with the capital T Truth, or a God of his own creation and the mission that God has assigned to him.

Ever wonder why it seems like Barack is knowingly perfectly willing to enact broad policy that he knows destroys the very people he prescribes it to (middle class.) he doesn't believe these things benefit them at all. That's why he can so glibly lie. His mission is greater than the middle class. He disdains them - and he treates them like he disdains them. He doesn't even see them as individual people. All he sees is an abstract middle class.

Clinton is a severely damaging figure, but he has no ideology, so it was easy for him to compromise. He's married to being loved, not ideology.

His damage is the damage of reckless and selfish irresponsible use of power, but with no goal for that power except to bring him love. He's a drunk in a china shop.

Unfocused, Random, Haphazard Destruction in the service of seeking admiration.

Obama is married to epic and heroic ideology. His is the psychology of the tyrant. The head of the tyrannical government, or the tyrannical dictator. His use of power is focused, deliberate, and always bent on darkness because at the base of his disconnection with man is his hatred of man, and at the base of that is fear.

Focused, Deliberate, Disciplined Destruction in the service of imposing an epic and heroic ideology, at the cost of anyone and anything in its path, including generations of humans.

Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Hitler, Kim Jong Il and a dozen Muslim tyrants. Obama's is the psychology that murdered 100,000,000 in the 20th century. There are millions of these types who simply never make it to the point where they can 'express' their ideology in a position of absolute power.

Because he rose in the US, with something left of a Constitution, he was always limited in terms of what he could actually do. The more power he would have gotten, the more strictly he would have exercised his ideology. So it seems extreme to say all this, but its only because he was never allowed such power. He certainly resented that he didn't have it.

And in the end, he didn't have the charm or I think the discipline - not enough disdain for mankind, to really make a go at it. He's kind of a half ass, slacker dictator. But given more power, he would have taken it. He wouldn't have gone on a purge, but he would have had no qualms about leading his country on a path to generations of living suffering in service of his great vision.

The sense I get is that Chicago saw they had a 'true believer', and so they ran him. They didn't care about his mission, they just knew he would rise, and they would rise as far as they could in his wake. Ultimately, he was used, willingly.

He'll probably mellow in ten years. As an ideologue, true believer, dictator ... he's more of Choom Gang guy at heart. He's got his money. Maybe there just wasn't enough pain and confusion to make a true life long active hater out of him. Doesn't have the discipline, probably not cruel enough - although he is cruel - but feeling nothing for anyone, you'd never convince him of it.

Ironically, as a slacker, he'll sell out his ideology for the good life he now has.

I don't expect he'll be a big world player, or try to hang on the way Bill has. He doesn't love it, there's not much left in it any more. I doubt he even seeks to rise at the UN or in international politics.

Muslim and Mulslim sympathizer? Yeah, but real Muslim radicals have a lot of patience and discipline. I don't think he could make it as a rank and file terrorist. Too much personal sacrifice, and not his personal ideology. He'd never give himself to a cause 'greater than himself' other than one he invented and led himself.

Well - didn't expect to write that much, but hey, four years of a guy you really don't like and always thought was a fake - more fake to his own followers than those of us who had no inclination to follow. I don't think he believes a single thing in all those 4 years about his policies and his stated goal (Build the middle class out? That's just using marxism in service of his personal vision.)

For the anti colonials - better called 'west-progress-haters' ... Marxism was just what filled the void after they decided they where 'anything but the west.'

I think his mission, his great vision, his grand ideology was to tear down the west, only secondarily to substitute Marx in it's place. Dinesh nailed it that when he embraced his father's grave, that's when he picked sides. That's what gave him his great epic story - payback to the west.

Come to think of it, that's pretty much Dinesh's conclusion.

So, anyway, as to my first statement: his psychology is potentially far more poisonous than Clinton's. Clinton: Undisciplined Destruction, Moral Chaos Obama: Focused, Premeditated Destruction, a focused morality of tearing down anything enlightened. :-)

Since Hillary can't do the right thing, lest she be branded as a traitor to the party, she can still arrange for the documents to be "leaked" by someone else.

In fact, that is how any sensible person would handle a matter like this.

Some have sought to justify this vicious behavior as a response to inflammatory material posted on the Internet.

Don't forget, this is a Clinton, a protected species by the MSM. Just parse that sentence and she's in the clear wrt blaming the video. She didn't say SHE thought it was a response to something on the Internet ... just that ‘some’ have. I think you'll find they've all been pretty weaselly.

The cover up is bad. What actually went down is way worse ... from Stevens' mission to leaving him unprotected to not providing real-time support when he was under attack.

I don't think Americans will overlook the vision of the administration watching our guys fight for their lives in real time and not sending in backup when it was clearly available. That, I don't think we can stomach. Democrat apologists would be happy, I think, to focus on the ‘cover up’, since it deflects from something way worse.
