Benghazi mess points to Hillary and ‘possibly criminal’ cover-up
The New York Post ^ | 5-3-14 | Kenneth R. Timmerman

Make it go away!

That was the message of the Obama administration and their friends in the media for the past two years, and now we know why: Benghazi is the scandal they always denied it was.

Thanks to a lawsuit by watchdog group Judicial Watch, the administration last week released correspondence about the terrorist attack in Libya on Sept. 11, 2012 that left US ambassador Christopher Stevens and three others dead.

One memo, from Ben Rhodes, the deputy national security director for strategic communications, shows how the administration was trying to spin the attack as something other than their own strategic failures.

“Reinforce the president and administration’s strength and steadiness in dealing with difficult challenges,” he wrote to UN Ambassador Susan Rice. He instructed her to “underscore” that the events in Benghazi were “protests . . . rooted in an Internet video, and not a broader failure of policy.”

Beyond the callousness of this message, and the fact that officials already knew this was the work of terrorists, that this document is just coming out now shows the depth of the administration’s cover-up.

I will read your link tomorrow; (falling asleep right now), but didn’t they have the video all handy, already up on the internet, in order to trot it out immediately after the “protests”? Has it been discovered who dubbed the movie and got the guy to film it?

How do you explain the Cairo embassy tweeting apologies over 22 hours earlier? Nearly 15 hours before the Benghazi attack began.

The video had been on the internet since late June or early July 2012. I don't know who dubbed it. I suppose Nakoula Nakoula did that. There were four versions of it.

There were four versions of Nakoula's movie.

Only the final one was forwarded, by persons unknown, to Sheikh Khalid Abdullah the cleric in Cairo who aired it on TV. Nakoula, the maker of the original film, was not the one who uploaded the final version, Innocence of Muslims, to the internet.

You can hear some interesting things about the timeline of all these iterations of "the movie" in the Youtube video linked below. Start at 9:30 and watch to 16:00 for the meat of that.

False Flag, Currently Underway ?

Even the protests and attack in Cairo weren't about that stupid 'video.'

Brian Lilley: The MSM is lying about the muslim riots
Interviews on the streets of Cairo. 'Video' had nothing to do with protests and attack.

"Blame it on the Video" was a Fraud for the Cairo Rioting, Too

Why didn’t Romney pulverize the administration on Benghazi? What was he thinking?

Over eighteen months have passed and still no capture has been made on those terrorists involved in the Benghazi massacre. Why? We have no leadership in the White House Obama is a national disgrace.
We went after Ben Laden, but not these axx holes. Again, Why?

Well, maybe this WND article will shed some light.......

Hitlery is trash and so is the rest of the fascist that are running this country. They sit around and lie about everything that is going on. Harry Hitler, Potato head Kerry,
all of Obama’s mouth pieces that will fall on the sword for this clown and his ilk.

Our old friend Montagraph has put up a new video on May 1st. It is basically a refresher of his original findings of the connection to Stanley Inc. the DoD subcontractor to the Innocence of Muslims video. He also shows when and by whom the name was changed.

Here he is from April 30th with a nice neat recap of his findings. Worth the eight minutes!

Plus links to a two minute demonstration of proof.

This is going to be good, can’t wait for the Hillary under the bus moment and the look of the stunned harpie State Dept. Spokeswomen Marie Harp (female equivalent of Tommy Vietor) and Jen Psaki. I despise these people whom don’t have the dignity to resign when they know full well they are being used as Pawns to defend the indefensible.

“My take is that Barry had been upstairs with Jarrett all day concocting the lie”

Yep, that is a question I wish Bret Baier has asked Tommy Boy Vietor the other day. The punk was coming unglued, he would have said whether or not the Lizard Queen was in the White House or not. He may well have been on the phone with her if she didn’t slither into the White House.

I wonder if correspondence emanating from the Presidents Private Residence is a matter of Public record?

Who even knew about or found the video? Was it in the news anywhere before the ten PM meeting ?

Yea, right. Got it. Sheesh

One has to KNOW the facts of the argument to have a chance to win it. Talking points will never win an argument of facts and that is all Willard had in his quiver was talking points.

Thanks for all you information. Very enlightening ! Answers a few questions. Who in the WH first had it and who decided to blame it?

I think the entire Democrat party will discredit Hillary for the next 2 years. I don't think they want her to run. She drains the campaign donations to the other more viable candidates.

Spokeswomen Marie Harp...

I believe her name is Harf. You know, the sound a cat makes when it coughs up a fur ball.

harf! harf! harf!
