"Where is Hillary?"
That was the question then-U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Susan Rice's mother asked when she told her she would be appearing on all five Sunday morning political shows on Sept. 16, 2012 — just five days after the terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya. The plan was to appear in place of then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, at the White House’s request.
"I smell a rat,” her mother said. “This is not a good idea. Can't you get out of it?"
The exchange was detailed in Rice's new book, “Tough Love: My Story of the Things Worth Fighting For," as she recalled what led to and what fueled the biggest political controversy of her government career — those appearances on "Fox News Sunday," ABC's "This Week," CBS' "Face the Nation," NBC's "Meet the Press," and CNN's "State of the Union.” Her flawed characterization of the attacks as resulting from a spontaneous protest later made her the target of GOP criticism that ultimately led to her withdrawing from consideration to succeed Clinton as secretary of state.
Looking back, Rice insisted in her book that she does not believe Clinton set her up – Rice's mother feels differently – but recognizes that Clinton and National Security Adviser Tom Donilon likely knew what was coming.
"I do believe that Hillary Clinton and Tom Donilon appreciated what I did not," Rice said. "The first person to tell the public about a highly political tragedy was likely to pay a price."

.......especially when you go with something so demonstrably false.
Susan lied readily. That was her purpose in the Obama administration. Like the groupie who readily goes on drug runs and provides sex acts to the band. Susan was aloud to hang around because she had no morals. Now she wants respect? Too late.
I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if that were the case!
Rice knew that Hillary Clinton never takes responsibility for her decisions or actions but will always push someone else under the bus ...every time.
What the h*#l did she think subservience was all about?
Did she honestly think that the BS Clinton's or those other Liberal clowns were going to accept or respect her-100%?
C’mon Susie! You drink the kool aid and it's starting to taste nasty. At some point we all out grow our taste for kool aid! It's just taking YOU longer because Liberals laced your drink with $$$$. And now even THAT doesn't improve the taste..... Welcome to Conservatism Susie!!
Rice’s mom should have been the one serving in government.
Rice said.... “The first person to tell the public about a highly political tragedy was likely to pay a price.”
Well there it is she admits their deciions are always plitical...if they’d just ‘tell the truth’ rather than frame and create stories to protect their and their party leaders policial ambitions we’d all be better for it.
That bogus video they tried to hide behind was embarrassing to this country.
Let's see how many books and tell alls come out in light of this impeachment crap.
President Trump has already volunteered to fall on his sword for America and America sees that ..... so do the dems.
There's not much you can do to a guy that is A) Innocent and B) Doesn't give a shit about the opposition.
He's been opposed his entire life.
The dems are pitiful amateurs.
[[[Looking back, Rice insisted in her book that she does not believe Clinton set her up]]]
LOL. moron. Don’t get any grease on you under the bus.
Susan Rice is Black. That is all.
You mean there is no white on Rice?.................
Hey, Susan, you lie with dogs you get fleas. No sympathy here.
Lotsa ‘tossin under da bus’ goin on...
Yup,watch 13 Hours and try to control yourself in wanting Obama,Clinton and Rice (among others)hung knowing everything we know now.
It worked though.....gave her and Obama ‘time’ to distract and cover their tracks. That’s how they work it.. and as we see now the House continues these same tactics and the press always will run with it.
As is written....”rebelling and denying the LORD, turning away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering lies from the heart....SO justice is turned away, and righteousness stands at a distance. For truth has stumbled in the public square, and honesty cannot enter. .......Truth is missing.” Isaiah 54;14
“Where was “President” Obama during the 13 hours?”
On his way to Nevada for a fund raising rally. I remember it well.
Well, we do know that brown Rice takes longer to get cooked.
