Author Ed Klein: As Benghazi blame nears Hillary, Clintons grow furious
The Daily Caller ^ | 10/12/12 | Alex Pappas

Posted on 10/12/2012 2:10:52 PM PDT by justlittleoleme

In an exclusive interview with The Daily Caller, Klein said sources close to the Clintons tell him that Bill Clinton has assembled an informal legal team to discuss how the Secretary of State should deal with the issue of being blamed for not preventing the Benghazi terrorist attack last month.

White House spokesman Jay Carney told reporters during a press conference Friday that responsibility for the consulate in Libya fell on the State Department, not the White House.

If blame for the security failures falls to Hillary Clinton, Klein said, it’s possible that she would even consider resigning over the issue.

“Bill is working on a number of strategies about what Hillary ought to do. He’s even gone so far as to play with various doomsday scenarios including up to the idea that Hillary would consider resigning over the issue if the Obama team tries to use her as a scapegoat,” Klein told TheDC in an interview.

Pakistanis didn't know about any "video" or any "insults" until 0blablah and Hillbilly broadcast this...

Obama and Hillary Apologize for Free Speech on Pakistani TV (taxpayer-funded ads) Sept. 20, 2012

Which immediately resulted in this...

Pakistan: 17 killed in anti-Islam film protests Sept. 21, 2012

0bama then went to the UN and re-inflamed the Muslim world once again over the manufactured offense "Innocence of Muslims."

U.S. President Speaks to U.N. About YouTube Video Sept. 25, 2012

Those apologies validated their rage.

Technically, she is responsible for all embassies and staffing. That being said, if she was directed to not supply adequate staff in Benghazi then she should speak out about it.

Plus it really sticks in their craw how this young upstart from Chicago could get away with playing the race card against Bill and then snatching Hill’s birthright away from her.

In this CNN report, White House [re-]clarifies Biden on Libya security, an anonymous administration source comes out with the statement that of course "the president is responsible for the security of all U.S. personnel around the world." A major back-off from where all the earlier excuses were headed. You Betcha Team Clinton has let Obama know that Hillary is not going under the bus.
