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.

Sept. 11, 2012 was a heck of a day wasn't it?

Indeed it was my FRiend.

And it appears it is becoming more and more interesting as time passes.

Got to admit though, with people like this at the helm this kind of stuff makes me a bit nervous....wondering what is coming down the pike before election day...

Both Obama and Hillary have a long history covering for terrorists. Obama with his Weather Underground friends Ayers and Dohrn. Hillary with the Puerto Rican Marxist terror group, the FALN, and also support for the Maoist-revolutionary Black Panthers while at Yale.

No kidding. ‘What might happen’ is a spine tingling thought. I don’t think we know the half of what happened on 9-11-12 either.

Yep, I’ve said that too. Consider that all Hillary needs to do is ride this out for 28 days. As long as she stays loyal before the election, she preserves her chance at a political future. Then, if Obama loses, she can then take a “principled” stand and resign; if Obama wins, her chance at the Presidency is gone anyway because once Obama is done with America, it will be another century before another Democrat gets elected to office.

While I think there was planning for some kind of attack, by both Hillary and Obama, I think it got out of hand and 4 men died as a result of their deliberate and vicious incompetence.

With Obama leaving it to Hillary to carry out whatever needed to be done by stirring up some Oct. surprise, but not realizing those MUSLIMS don't take orders from women and took the opportunity to kill 4 men. OBAMA KNEW that PART,hmmmm. Surprise, Surprise Hillary

Stand by your man Hillary, stand by your man one more time. rofl.

There have been lots of speculations on why the Benghazi consulate was attacked. What the main goal of this very organized very well-armed large assault team of terrorists was. I have yet to hear a suggestion that tops this...

Sacking of Benghazi consulate “a catastrophic intelligence loss”

Pretty big prize. We're in big trouble if 0 & H assisted that acquisition. Not that I have doubts that they would.

Who squashed the danger within intellegence on the coming attack and did not pass it on to the State Department orrrr, who at the State Department decided to ignore the warning and danger and let the guy die.

Why?

Islam loving citizens of the world, Petraus and Hillary are the leaders involved in these questions. One or both should resign.

Also, Congress should investigate Homeland inSecurity leaving the border open and redirecting the mission naming Americans - tea party and Vets - the real terrorists. Appolgize to Michelle Bauchmann and do the investigation into Federal jihad infiltration like she suggested.

SO DO I. Glad you brought that up, I agree. Otherwise how did that stupid video JUST SHOW UP so conveniently and be the very first thing they blame it on.

This whole thing was planned, caculated and carried out by the Obama/Hillary team. Obama knew the Mussies DON'T take orders from any woman. Whatever they planned for the October Surprise backfired, and Hillary is left to pick up the pieces, see ya Hill, got a T time.

For all their foolheartedness, THEY GOT 4 MEN KILLED, there is no pity. For what they did they both deserve the fate of the Mussolinies.

Delicious.

Can you imagine the teamwork from Team Clinton that is going on behind the scenes now to undermine 0bummer?

Rush is right that Hillary hasn’t a prayer now nor in 2016, but they’re deluded enough to think they do and will help to defeat 0bummer.

Pass the popcorn. Should I press 3.0 or 1.75 oz on my microwave?

(Ambassador) RICE: -- "was a result, a direct result of a heinous and offensive video that was widely disseminated

The day after the attack I went and looked at the video. There were maybe 10k hits. And it had been up on Yout' toob for months. A typical video of a cat rolling over will generate a million hits in a day. Why the media couldn't figure out that Rice is a lying sackocrap is due to the media either being hopelessly stupid, or willing conspirators in the big lie.

willing conspirators

I agree with Rush. In 2008 they transitioned from heavy bias to complete collaboration.

I don’t think Hillary is thinking about 2016. She’s trying to save herself from doing jail time. Scooter Libby went to the slammer for a whole lot less.

From the link: """“It’s a catastrophic intelligence loss,” said one American official who has served in Libya and who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the F.B.I. is still investigating the attack. “We got our eyes poked out.”"""....

This whole thing may be bigger than any of us can imagine, but from just his much, I have some thoughts.

This points straight up the the MUSLIM in the White House, Hillary the willing dupe. (she is not a muslim, but a idiot player, now she's got her ..... in a wringer and Bill to the rescue.)

On top of all that, the video was abysmal and actually quite tame. For the Administration to talk about it being heinous and offensive, I thought it would be really awful (well, it was, but not in the way they imply). There are far, far more offensive things on Youtube. This NEVER passed the smell test. IF we actually HAD journalists working in the MSM, this would be a HUGE story. This nothingburger of a video had NOTHING to do with any violence UNTIL the Administration started flapping their jaws about it and calling attention to it. They are 100% culpable in this.

For 14 days after the attack no one told 0bungles that there were no protests in Benghazi!

The significance of that fact is that if the PRESIDENT of the United States is not receiving accurate and timely intelligence from "the intelligence community" with regard to terrorist attacks, then Americans have good reason for being terrified every moment of every day and night that this PRESIDENT is President.

However, the truth is that the "intelligence" about the film was a White House generated lie that the White House held onto and insisted upon for 14 days.

That might be as terrifying as the other situation.
