More at source link including draft condolence letter for family of Sean Smith dated Sept. 12, 2012 that blames video.

It seems to me, based on the time the email was sent, was that the YouTube video scapegoating was part of a contingency plan..

Isssa needs to back off th e Benghazi issues and defer to the new Select Committee.

When the attacks were taking place, how many times had the video been viewed on YT? Ten? Twenty times? When I first heard of this video on the afternoon of the 12th or 13th and went to YT to see it there were still less than 10K views.

I find it difficult to believe they truly thought a video had anything to do with the attack. I think they did it to intentionally deceive.

Something I wonder about is that Trey Gowdy said a few months ago on a Fox TV interview, maybe it was on Greta, that the video wasn't even translated into Arabic until Sept 15, 2012 - four days after the attack on the Benghazi compound.

I'm not exactly sure what he meant by that but there must have been recoverable info from Google about when the video was viewed and/or copied. I was yelling at the TV to follow up on that but the TV anchor moved quickly on to their next question, as they so often do.

I also heard a reporter say shortly after the attack that they, or someone, had checked the video stats and there were only a few viewings of the video prior to 9-11.

Are we sure the barbarians over there even know how to access the Internet, much less go to YouTube?

[Raebie]

The email was sent at 9:11 EST?

What are the odds of THAT?

“Odd” than none of the moles that want to leak government documents care to expose the smoking gun(s) in Obama’s scandals.

” the White House believed it was in retaliation for a controversial video”

No the White house DID NOT genuinely believe the attack was over a video the White House was covering their asses.

[Labyrinthos]

This has probably been suggested by others, but just in case it hasn’t, what is the likelihood that the guy who made the video was a CIA cover special ops that went bad?

Another angle on this is it is OK to post and anti-Chritian video but you better not post an anti-Islam video or we are going to get you

[Red in Blue PA]

Holeee Crap!

I don’t know why I am shocked at things like this, but I still am. Impeach the Bastard!

[trisham]

These people should be imprisoned.

[AmericanExceptionalist]

The memo suggests that even as the attack was still underway — and before the CIA began the process of compiling talking points on its analysis of what happened — the White House believed it was in retaliation for a controversial video.

What do others think of this claim?
