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:
