"But I tell you these emails say to me that if anybody at the White House thought they could cover this story up by referring to the Muhammad video with this documentary evidence in real time, then it wasn’t just a cover up. It was an incredibly stupid cover up."

“How did they think they would get away with such a STUPID lie?”
IMO, they thought the MSM would simply not report it and the issue would go away.

4:10 embassy under attack
5:00 meeting w/Odungo Biden and Secretary of defense in Oval office according to WH log book....

So I’m guess they knew less than two hours after it happen...and Biden’s “in the dark”’ lie is falling apart

Because 90% of the media will simply print what they're told to, and the 10% who will actually report the truth are marginalized by that same lapdog media.

Look at the 'rat spokespeople -- e.g., Debbie Wasserman-Schulz and Stephanie Cutter -- they would rather tell a blatant lie that admit to any fact that isn't optimal, because all they care about is the immediacy of winning the news cycle and they know the media will cover up their history of lying.

Cause they were naive enough to think they could throw Hillary under the bus and not suffer the Revenge of the Clintons

They thought they could get away with their stupid lies because Barry is black. Anyone who questions anything he does or says is a racist bigot. Simple really. And it usually works like a charm.

Because 'they' control the DOJ.

They knew before it happened, IMO, perhaps even orchestrated “protests” to cover the arms running to Syria.

Obama's going down!

But in other more important news, Gloria Allred reports that Romney once testified in a divorce case about his friend's role as father to his sons. /s

ABC is on it also. Wonder what NBC is going to do? I understand their anchor (Williams) has an interview with “O” today. Wonder if he will probe this?

The disturbing thing here is that the security briefers went to the trouble to knowingly insert false information into intelligence reports to the President of the United States in order to make them conform to the White House’s “It’s all the video” narrative. Instead of telling the President the truth, they told the President what he wanted to hear for political convenience. The President contends that he relied on these reports to amplify his “video” narrative. As a result, the security apparatus fed him even more information supporitng this view.

In engineering, we call this a feed-back loop, where an error causes a greater error, and so forth, until the system is so far from reality, it breaks down.

If the intelligence community is intentionally feeding the President bad information, then our security policy is being dictated by the Democrat Talking Point of the Day, and we are going to be constantly doing the wrong thing.

This is a failure of leadership. The problem is that the President rewards the people who tell him what he wants to hear, and punishes those who tell him the truth.

The President should tell his advisers, in no uncertain terms, that he wants the clear, unvarnished truth, as near as they can determine. He should then make a big deal over firing advisers who “shine him on”, until he is convinced that everybody is doing his job.

I think Hillary and zero were actually trying to gin up unreset and cause riots all over the middle east. They got on TV repeatedly and even took out ads on Pakistani TV describing how horrible this video was! If I was a Pakistani I would seek out the video to watch it after seeing them talk about how horrible and deaming the video was.

If they really thought the video was the cause of the attack and wanted to calm people down, you don’t talk about the video in detail and shine a light on it!

If Petraeus knowingly went along with this, his reputation will go straight down the toilet, as it should.

“then it wasn’t just a cover up. It was an incredibly stupid cover up.”

He isn't called an amateur for nothing.
