White House, Obama Campaign, Won’t Answer When President Met with NSC After Benghazi By Fred Lucas October 15, 2012
(CNSNews.com) – Neither the White House nor the Obama re-election campaign will answer when President Barack Obama first met with his National Security Council after the terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya that killed four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens.
On Monday, neither responded to CNSNews.com, which asked, “‘At what hour on what day did President Obama first meet with the National Security Council to discuss what had happened in Benghazi on Sept. 11, 2012?”
The NSC is chaired by the president and is typically convened during an emergency. Regular attendees are Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, National Security Advisor Tom Donilon and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Martin Dempsey.
Other members include, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder. Thus, convening the NSC could allow the intelligence community to communicate with the State Department and potentially settle conflicting information.
On Monday morning, CNSNews.com called the White House, which asked for the question to be e-mailed. CNSNews.com e-mailed the question at 9:01 a.m.
At 10:36 a.m., Bernadette Meehan, director of media outreach and assistant press secretary for the National Security Staff at the White House, responded by e-mail, “Jay will be ready to respond to this in the gaggle today,” referring to White House Press Secretary Jay Carney, who was at the Kingsmill Resort in Williamsburg, Va., where the president is preparing for the second presidential debate.
According to the official White House transcript of the press gaggle that began at 10:47 a.m. and ended at 11:19 a.m., the subject of Benghazi never came up.

I am sure CNN has a bunch of raw video that has not been released to the AMERICAN public. They were on scene. They recovered Stephen's DIARY. As some are suggesting, it may be that like F+F, they screwed it up, and the politicians and media are all in on the coverup because it is really, really, embarrassingly criminal. CNN probably has tape of Stephen's being ceremonially humiliated.
agree Romney needs to push this and not stop by obama’s excuses and lies.
