The White House pushed back against reports in CBS, Reuters and CNN that they knew immediately that the attack in Benghazi was the work of terrorists.

"There was a variety of information coming in," White House press secretary Jay Carney said Wednesday on Air Force One. "The whole point of an intelligence community and what they do is to assess strands of information and make judgements about what happened and who was responsible."

The emails prove the administration knew full well this was a terror attack and no protest, which has already been admitted, but now its within 2 hours of the attack.

Show me ONE email in the first two hours after the attack that mentions a video, Jay.

Yes, they are the smoking gun. Now, it is time to start the next phase. Ignore. Use of a highly technical term, pooh-pooh, by the Ministry of Propaganda and the Regime is the new spin.

Plus it proves that there is a cover up due to the close proximity to the election. There was more interest in the WH to campaign then to send in the Calvary.

So when did Obama conclude it was a terrorist attack?
If less than 14 days, why did it take so long?
Incompetent? A Liar? Or both?

Libya was all set to be Obama’s crowning foreign policy achievement. Now it is his most damaging foreign policy misadventure.

They are doubling down on their lies.
I've been wondering about the White House conference call with the media and how that fits in with all this. It seems that there was a real effort to control the story here.

This is an open source, unclassified email about a posting on a Facebook site


And thats the problem for the WH.

Someone was honest enough not to classify it, so it would stand on its own merit.

Actually, the cover up has nothing to do with the election. They would do the same thing the day after the election. After all, they're Democrats. Democrats lie as a way of life.

They spent 6 hours watching the feed just waiting for the plot twist that NEVER CAME.

That’s why no support got called in. The Admin was expecting a 180o ‘ending’ from the ‘attack’.
