"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."

Well DUH! You both are surrounded by rats- and are rats yourselves- perhaps it was your breath blowing back in your face that you smelled mamma?
Another one who needs to be in jail
She lied for her hero and then took a promotion as payoff. Lack of ethics and used asa tool. Didn’t she work on the fake FISA application. She belongs in jail with the rest of them. Boo F-in Hoo!
I believe they used her name in the ‘unmasking’ gambit to get dirt on Trump.........................
I know Charlie Woods personally. I have heard the details of his encounter with Clinton/Obama at Andrews AFB, a number of times. He took notes, on-site. Then they tried to character assassinate him for speaking out.
The Obama-Clinton crew are pigs
another snake In a real world she would have felt shame when she was used to lie about Benghazi and left government. Had my boss used me like that i would have gone to jail after i punched him out.
Twenty five. Rice was the subject of white Democrats plantation policy - keep them darkies down on the farm until needed as cannon fodder (w.e.b.du Bois on the Communist Party’s use of black members in riots).
Rice’s mother feels differently –
Her mother is dead.
