Judicial Watch: DOJ Records Reveal Obama White House Effort to ‘Evolve’ Explanation of Benghazi Terrorist Attack

Emails Document Senior Obama White House-Clinton State Dept. Officials Joke About Being Called ‘Liars’ About Benghazi

(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today that the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) released 80 pages of records that show top Obama White House officials scrambling to “evolve” its false claims that the September 11, 2012, terrorist attacks on U.S. Government facilities in Benghazi, Libya, began “spontaneously” in response to an anti-Muslim video on the Internet. The emails show top Obama White House official Ben Rhodes and Clinton State Department Deputy Chief of Staff Jake Sullivan joking about being called “liars” and “leakers.”

The records were produced in response to a Judicial Watch 2016 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Justice (No. 1:16-cv-02046)). Judicial Watch filed the lawsuit after the Justice Department failed to comply with a July 7, 2016, FOIA request for records of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s investigation of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server during her tenure.

On September 16, 2012, then-U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice appeared on five Sunday television talk shows claiming the Benghazi attack was incited spontaneously by an anti-Muslim Internet video. The newly released records show a redacted official’s email from September 27 to then-Deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes and then-NSC spokesman Tommy Vietor, copying then-Deputy Chief of Staff Jake Sullivan, saying, “What’s the plan here?” Rhodes responds:

Broader plan is IC [intelligence community] acknowledgement of an evolving assessment of what took place, which happens to be true (unlike just about everything else we’ve seen reported on Benghazi.)

Further along in the email thread, an official whose name is redacted, says, “Everyone know [sic] Susan [in her TV appearances] was using not just IC approved guidance, but IC created.”

As Obama's obeisant flunkie, then-U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice appeared on five Sunday talk shows claiming with wide-eyed innocence that the Benghazi attack killing 4 Americans was incited spontaneously by an anti-Muslim Internet video. Now, a redacted official’s email from September 27 shows a "Broader plan is IC [intelligence community] acknowledgement of an evolving assessment of what took place, which happens to be true (unlike just about everything else we’ve seen reported on Benghazi.)

Rice is a brainlesss political zero. So eager was she to suck up to Obama,
she couldnt see it coming that lying on 5 TV talk shows would cost her the coveted SofS job after Hillary?

Obama and Hillary could have just said “oops!” about Benghazi.

They went to a great deal of trouble to set up a smokescreen.

That means that there is more to this debacle.

They did something really, really bad in Libya.

At what point would a sitting or former president be labeled a traitor and hanged for his crimes?

Would it be after he allowed an ambassador and others to be killed while he was president then lying to the American public about it?

Would it be after he ordered and participated in the overthrow of a succeeding president that he doesn't like?

Just wondering.

That’s semi racist and 100% true.

Sending the plastic automaton Susan Rice out to 5 Sunday morning shows to push the asinine story of “youtube video” is called “evolved?”

Judicial Watch does what DOJ refuses to do. EVERYBODY with a brain knew Benghazi was MURDER covered up by OBAMA,CLINTON and RICE.

Obama and Hillary could have just said “oops!” about Benghazi.

Indeed, they could have said “we were suddenly and deliberately attacked by nasty jihadis” and Americans would have accepted it, and probably rallied around them.

Yet the denial of air-cover, and then the completely idiotic “youtube video” excuse indicate something completely different.

What cold-hearted bastards. Four Americans are murdered by a bunch of terrorists, while others have to fend off further attacks for hours, and they sit there and laugh about their lying to cover it all up. These f’ers should die.

Rice’s obseciance demonstrated with Benghazi will earn her the VP slot.

Not because she’s suited to replace Joe when he resigns, but because she can take orders from Obie, Axelrod, Carville, and whomever else is really running the show.

So what? Nothing will happen to any of them, besides it isn’t even a DOJ investigation.

The missiles and other armaments were generally going to arm ISIS (Barry said "ISIL"), but the truth is they were/are the Muslim Brotherhood, whose handlers Barry's "HR" had incentivized to infiltrate his administration in DC. (Many remain embedded, of course.)

As payback, MB-ISIS and MB-Somalis were flown into Minnesota, particularly Minneapolis, and inappropriately if not illegally given US Passports. From such pre-paid actors came the AstroTurf (as opposed to "grassroots") hotbed for the George Floyd operation and subsequent uprising and riots.
