Smoking Gun? WH Email Instructs Officials to Blame Benghazi on Video
by Jeff Dunetz
Rhodes gave direction that the purpose of Rice’s appearance was to “underscore that these protests are rooted in and Internet video, and not a broader failure or policy.”
A new State Department document obtained by Judicial Watch via a FOIA request reveals that then White House Deputy Strategic Communications Adviser Ben Rhodes and other Obama administration public relations officials coordinated a campaign to “reinforce” President Obama’s image and to portray the Benghazi consulate terrorist attack as being “rooted in an Internet video, and not a failure of policy.”
According to the Judicial Watch press release:
The main point of the White House team’s strategy was to paint the terrorist attack as being “rooted in an Internet video and not a failure of policy,” Judicial Watch said in an emailed release. Meanwhile, the State Department — at the same time that message was being shaped — initially considered the incident simply an “attack,” and perhaps even a kidnap try, the watchdog said.
So. All the things we in the Conservative World stated, lo, those many, many months ago, are turning out to be true. Es wahr. So startling. So shocking. But the bulk of those who read this blog are not shocked nor are we startled. We knew it from the start.
The Obama Administration lies and it lies up front and in bold type and italics and in a large font. In fact, the greater the lie, the greater the belief.
Here’s the e-mail:
Also, from FoxNews.com:
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.
So. Correct. No one at the Spite House knew anything. They were incredibly innocent docents whose job was to bob and weave on the issue.
One grim reminder for us all:

And yet, no heads will roll, no orange coveralls will be issued. Sure, there may be some “demotions” or reassignments, but the system will protect its own. Impeachment? Bah, that will continue to be lip service on the sunday news.
Likely. Clinton will remain Teflon. Likely.

News that is too little and WAY too late to make a difference. The hoards of misfits and leeches in our once great nation just won’t give a shit. As long as they get their ration of freebies, all is well.
Joe and Grog are right, so is BZ. There are other considerations I won’t go into here, I will say the propaganda machine in the current administration is impeccable.
I couldn’t believe my ears this morning! CBS Morning News actually covered this story.
Very brief coverage, though.
I did a search of CNNand got this:
New docs reinforce W. House push film was to blame for Benghazi updated 20 hours, 4 minutes ago
New documents obtained by conservative watchdog Judicial Watch reinforce that the White House did indeed strongly argue that outrage over an anti-Muslim film was the reason for the deadly 2012 terror attacks on the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi.

The link is dead!
He didn’t come up with that on his own… Just sayin…
Still think Obama had a deal going with the Muslim Brotherhood that would make him look like a hero prior to the election and that went bad. Believe the Brotherhood was supposed to kidnap the ambassador and hold him for ransom. Obama in turn releases the blind sheik to the Brotherhood and both sides get what they want. Obama will do anything to keep his muslim brothers happy and ensure his own reelection.
I’m wondering if some kind of under-the-table gun deal was underway and the deal went awry. . .then the coverup from the Obama Administration.

The day that some definitive action is taken against Obama, his regime and Hillary Clinton is the day we have a Benghazi story worth repeating… The Conservative blog world has beat this horse to death and so far, NADA, ZIP, nothing…
This was not terrorism. It was a sustained attack orchestrated by the Russian SVR.
We know that this isn’t about a video. We have always known that.
What we need here is a CIA source revealing limited details about the Benghazi’s role as a CIA post and the destabilization of the Russian backed Assad regime. That, coupled with some reasonable interviews of former intelligence field operatives, would generate great public interest.
Missiles with Medvedev, Benghazi, and now Ukraine.
Draw all three events together. Highlight the capabilities of Russian intelligence including their ability to spot the radicalization of the Tsarnaev brothers within our own boarders. Suggest that this president has been compromised. Suggest that the Russians have rolls of film demonstrating Obama’s homosexual depravity and documents proving his Indonesian citizenship.
With a sustained effort, I submit that this administration will fold in 6 months.
Are cracks beginning to dissolve this love affair between major media and this bunch of corrupt, lying bastards?
It’s still fun to watch reporters in these W.H. Press conferences squirm-

Watergate truly was a third-rate burglary, and no one died.

I hope the Russians DO expose Obama for what he is exactly!
