Ben Rhodes: Obama's Fixer behind the Benghazi Cover-Up
Posted on 04/29/2014 10:31:55 AM PDT by sheikdetailfeather
Newly released emails on the Benghazi terror attack suggest a senior White House aide played a central role in preparing former U.N. ambassador Susan Rice for her controversial Sunday show appearances -- where she wrongly blamed protests over an Internet video.
More than 100 pages of documents were released to the conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch as part of a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit. Among them was a Sept. 14, 2012, email from Ben Rhodes, an assistant to the president and deputy national security adviser for strategic communications.
The Rhodes email, with the subject line: "RE: PREP Call with Susan: Saturday at 4:00 pm ET," was sent to a dozen members of the administration's inner circle, including key members of the White House communications team such as Press Secretary Jay Carney.

Ben Rhodes: Obama's Fixer behind the Benghazi Cover-Up
The “video protest” story was started before the Emails.
In reality the attack was planned then the protest over the video was planned to create the “spontaneous” lie as a cover story.
You can’t plan an attack against a particular person on a particular day at a particular location without someone guaranteeing that particular person will be at the particular location on the particular day.
The only 2 people that could guarantee Stevens would be there on 9/11 was Hillary and Obama, thus the need for the cover story.
By repeating over and over again the attack was a “spontaneous” response to the video protest, people would then respond “there is no connection”.
Repeat “there is no connection” over and over again and people repeating it and hearing it repeated will actually begin to believe it.
Once the connection is made that the video protest was planned in advance and orchestrated as an excuse for the attack, Hillary and Obama are toast.
Senior WH Official? Lemme guess... Valerie Jarrett?
Is that right?
--HRC remarks while standing in front of the four coffins of the Benghazi dead.
She knew it was a lie and said it anyway. 'Awful' is right.
more reason why a special prosecutor is needed...
Benghazi could destroy Hussein and Hillary and it should...American should demand it NOW
I wanna tell the idiots in the media this:
Really...
No $##t Sherlock....
Once the connection is made that the video protest was planned in advance and orchestrated as an excuse for the attack, Hillary and Obama are toast.
Couldn’t post the fox news link. It showed up for a second. When I refreshed, it was gone. Tried three times.
The “spontaneous” lie definitely came from Hillary.
In January 2006 the ACLU with the help of al Jazeera and Osama bin Laden putting out a tape attempted to concoct a version of the “spontaneous” lie.
They tried to make it appear as if bin Laden was so in tune with the news he had picked up on the ACLU passing out video cameras in St Louis to get a repeat of a R King type beating of blacks by police, and bin laden then “spontaneously” planned an attack.
The planning for the 1st WTC bombing was started in 1991 around the R King video and was carried out at the time of the second trial of the LA police who beat King.
Since 1991, every time the left drags back out the R King case there has been a terrorist attack, attempted attack, or threat of attack.
That’s why Hillary concocted the story of a protest over a video as the reason for the attack.
She was attempting to create a cover story as to why every time R King is drug up by the left there is a terrorist attack.
There is the rumor that Øbama wanted Stevens dead because he knew too much about Bathhouse Barry from Chicago.
Clearly they knew ahead of time that there would be riots at those embassies. They started tweeting apologies before the crowds have even assembled in Cairo. Now, did they know the Benghazi attack was coming? Was this a planned cover for that having nothing to do with the riots at other embassies?
It should be remembered that someone forwarded that obscure video to a cleric in Cairo about two weeks beforehand so he could try to gin up the protests which were already planned for other reasons. Even so almost no one in Cairo knew anything about the video. But someone did try to make it part of it and did so well in advance.
I’m not sure Stevens wasn’t in on the plan.
He had to be in on the gun/weapons running to al Qaida and Syrian Rebels and possibly thought the attack was simply going to be used as a cover story to explain how al Qaida terrorist got their hands on the weapons.
His involvement means that the whole Benghazi talking points business was - as has been speculated on here at FR from day one - cooked up by Jarrett to save Barry's bacon.
That was a rumor started by some queer group in Chicago so take that for what it is worth. Stevens had been assigned to N. Africa for many years going well back into the Bush administration so I don’t know how much time he had to spend in Chicago.
This is the point that gets me:
“The email lists the following two goals, among others:
“To underscore that these protests are rooted in an Internet video, and not a broader failure of policy.”
It is almost as if they are admitting that Benghazi WAS indeed a failure of policy. The admitted manipulation to make Obama “statesmanlike” is sickening. And all the Democrats, not just the politicians but those that support the politicians (like my leftist academic colleagues), love it and believe all this crap. They haven’t a brain to open-mindedly critique this administration, and one can only hope they are ALL going down because of it all.
