Fox: Email Reveals Obama Advisor Urged Rice to Blame Video for Benghazi
Mediate.com ^ | April 29, 2014 | Noah Rothman

Posted on 04/29/2014 10:59:52 AM PDT by BulletBobCo

On Tuesday, an email obtained by the government watchdog Judicial Watch revealed that a senior American advisor informed then National Security Advisor Susan Rice to emphasize that the deadly 2012 attack on a U.S. consulate in Libya was the result of a spontaneous protest arising from an inflammatory YouTube video. Transcripts later revealed that senior defense officials had informed the administration on the night of the assault that the event was a “terrorist attack.”

Fox’s intel correspondent Catherine Herridge reported that a September 14 emails links White House Deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes advised Rice to focus on the YouTube video during her appearances on a variety of Sunday morning news programs:

Among the goals Rhodes outlined for Rice was for her “to underscore that these protests are rooted in an internet video, and not a broader failure of policy.”

A proper investigation would reveal much more evidence, as if there isn’t enough already.

Ben Rhodes, brother of ...

"CBS News President David Rhodes and ABC News President Ben Sherwood, both of them have siblings that not only work at the White House, that not only work for President Obama, but they work at the NSC on foreign policy issues directly related to Benghazi."

I’m skeptical.

This information has been floating around almost from the beginning of the House Committee hearings. What do you expect to happen now?

The GOP leaders obviously don’t want to make a big deal about it (other than to use it for fund-raising). It’s quite possible the Speaker and his staff knew about whatever’s being covered up before the attack. And the Mainstream Media certainly aren’t going to cover it.

This will fall down the same rabbit hole as the Black Panther voter intimidation case and Fast-and-Furious.

Hillary Clinton is THE original source of the 'video did it' excuse for Benghazi, Cairo and all the rest of the embassy riots around the world. Hillary did it!

US Embassy in Cairo quietly deletes its ‘we stand by our condemnation’ tweet; Update: More deleted tweets!

Here is Hillary pushing it again on Sept. 13th.

Here is a 'senior administration official' trying to distance 0bamugabe from Hillary's f-up and at the same time admitting by inference that she was the source of the 'video did it' meme.

Senior administration official: The Cairo embassy’s statement does not reflect the view of the U.S. government; Update: Romney calls embassy statement “disgraceful”

The White House is disavowing a statement from their own Cairo embassy that apologized for anti-Muslim activity in the United States.

“The statement by Embassy Cairo was not cleared by Washington and does not reflect the views of the United States government,” a senior administration official told POLITICO…

“Some have sought to justify this vicious behavior as a response to inflammatory material posted on the Internet. The United States deplores any intentional effort to denigrate the religious beliefs of others. Our commitment to religious tolerance goes back to the very beginning of our nation. But let me be clear: There is never any justification for violent acts of this kind,” Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said in a Tuesday statement.

And here 0bamugabe and Hillary work together to try to prop up her 'video did it' nonsense and spread it even further.

Nope, she never said anything about a 'video.'

Nobody is focused on the BIG ISSUE:

What were 30 CIA guys doing in Ben Ghazi?

The answer is (probably): Supplying Ghaddafi’s arms to Al Qaeda in Syria.

That’s the BIG ISSUE.
