Fox Analyst: Obama Elevated Susan Rice To Position Where She ‘Doesn’t Have To Testify’ On Benghazi

On Wednesday, Kathleen Troia “K.T.” McFarland, a former national security aide to Presidents Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, and Ronald Reagan, claimed that United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice is being promoted to National Security Advisor in order to shield her from congressional scrutiny over her role in the response to the Benghazi attacks.

“I figure that was the payback for Benghazi,” McFarland said of Rice’s promotion to NSA on Wednesday. “The fact that she carried the administration’s water – carried it very badly, I might say – but carried it.”

“Obviously, they have a close, personal relationship,” noted Fox News Channel anchor Martha MacCallum. “You’ve stood by me all these years and this is a position where you’ll be protected, as you say. You won’t have to answer questions anymore.”

McFarland agreed. She said that Rice, “conveniently,” no longer has to testify before Congress relating to what she knew about Benghazi and can invoke executive privilege if asked to testify.

In a post on Fox News.com, McFarland repeated her theory. “By appointing Rice to NSA job means she can invoke executive privilege and doesn’t have to testify on Capitol Hill,” she wrote. “And she will certainly be a loyal soldier if she is now sitting 40 yards from the Oval Office.”

She said that Rice, “conveniently,” no longer has to testify before Congress relating to what she knew about Benghazi and can invoke executive privilege if asked to testify.

I would think that she'd be able to invoke executive privilege only for what happens in her current job. Anything before that should be fair game.

” But this appointment shows what a failure or scam they are running. Their sole issue with Obama and he pokes them in the eye with this with no repercussions to him. Obama is 100% safe with McCain and Grahamnesty on the beat.”

Your posts sound very defeatist. As if you’re ready to concede.

Thanks for pointing it out. I better buck up!

I have been having a few bad days; It ticks me that I just can’t say what I’m really thinking on the ‘net. That’s probably why I’m sounding so “beaten”.

I’ll start thinking more before I post.

Just Obama furthering the cover-up in your face and in a naked public way.

There isn’t a lot of good news these days I’ll grant you that. I think there is a lot of anger like yours out there just building up pressure. Like a pressure cooker. I’m counting on these commie bozos to keep applying heat to it thinking they can just boil off our resistance. Not going to happen that way.

You're right. It's not going to happen that way.

We all know where The Line is. Right now, it is still in the abstract stage; they are crossing many dotted and dashed lines, even fine lines. But there is a Line That Shall Not Be Crossed

I sure agree with that.
