Ed Klein: Bill Clinton ‘Urging’ Hillary to Release Benghazi Documents That Would ‘Exonerate’ Her, Destroy Obama’s Re-Election Hopes
Posted on October 24, 2012 at 10:48pm by Jason Howerton
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton ordered additional security for the U.S. mission in Benghazi ahead of the terrorist attack but the orders were never carried out, according to “legal counsel” to Clinton who spoke to best-selling author Ed Klein.
Those same sources also say former President Bill Clinton has been “urging” his wife to release official State Department documents that prove she called for additional security at the compound in Libya, which would almost certainly result in President Obama losing the election.
Appearing on TheBlazeTV’s “Wilkow!” on Wednesday night, Klein told host Andrew Wilkow that Bill and Hillary Clinton have been having “big fights” for “two or three weeks” about the issue, according to his two sources on Clinton’s legal counsel.
While Bill Clinton wishes his wife would “exonerate” herself by releasing the documents that show she wasn’t at fault for the tragic security failure in Libya, the secretary of state refuses to do so because she doesn’t want to be viewed as a traitor to the Democratic party.
On Glenn Beck’s radio show earlier on Wednesday, Klein said his information comes from two “very good” sources.
Wilkow pointed out the obvious, that the Obamas and the Clintons have a “very behind the scenes, tense relationship” — to put it lightly.
“I said to you last night, and I think I stand corrected, that it seemed like Obama out-Clintoned the Clintons,” Wilkow said. “But Clinton seems to have gone along with all of this because he knew that Hillary would be exonerated in the end.”
He then asked Klein whether he thought Clinton would resign over the Libya scandal and expose the truth.
“No,” the author said immediately. “I can’t imagine that she would resign. It would bring down the entire administration. [Obama] would lose the election and she would be essentially blamed by the left-wing base of the party.”
“She will not be tarred with the blame for bringing down this administration,” Klein added.
In an exclusive interview with TheBlaze, Klein confirmed that Bill and Hillary Clinton have been engaging in “heated discussions” where the former president has urged his wife to “release the documents that would exonerate her.”
He reiterated that Clinton has refused to do so because she fears she would look like a “Judas,” or a traitor, in the administration and it might hurt her chances for a presidential nomination in 2016.
If the claims turn out to be true and Clinton did suggest more security be sent to Benghazi, it is appropriate to ask: why didn’t it happen?
Klein said Clinton’s request for beefed up security would have to go through CIA special ops and or the Pentagon.
“But none of that would happen with the National Security advisor to the president of the United States Tom Donnellan going to the president and saying, ‘We want to send reinforcements to Libya because our ambassador is in jeopardy,’” Klein explained.
Ultimately, he indicated the ultimate authority would have been President Obama.
Wilkow and Klein also discussed what role Obama’s closest advisor, Valerie Jarrett, played in the Benghazi cover-up.
By Obama’s own admission, Klein said, the president never makes a big decision without first consulting with Jarrett.
“We have to assume that Valerie Jarrett, who is also by the way hooked into the Chicago campaign…that she was part of this cover-up in the White House.”
He continued: “The CIA got cables, the Department of Defense got cables, the NSA got cables during the attack on Benghazi, in addition to the emails that have since been made public. We know that there are cables that we haven’t seen yet, confirming the State Department cables that this was an al-Qaeda linked attack.”
These new revelations, following Tuesday night’s explosive report that 300 to 400 national security officials received emails detailing the Benghazi terrorist attack as it was happening, raise fresh questions about the truth behind the Benghazi attack.
The emails revealed that the Libyan radical Islamic group Ansar al-Sharia claimed responsibility for the attack just two hours after it began. White House officials told CBS News that an unmanned Predator drone was sent over the U.S. mission in Libya, providing Washington with a live feed to the chaos that unfolded.
What's your point? I mean she's been that since...well Arkansas days. She sold out when hubby abused all those women. To cling to her power.
Chelsea Has Two Daddies. And they have both sold her down the river, long ago. This is just the denouement.
The Democrat Party you think you're protecting is long gone, dead, taken over.
You have no chance with this crew.
Do the right thing, and you can be the leader of a reemerging party!

Politics aside, Hillary has to stand up and stand up now.
It’s her opportunity and obligation here to do real good.
Long term personal consequences-she shouldn’t think twice about them
because American lives were lost and disturbing precedents set for
all in the future.
She just needs to do the right thing and speak the truth.
Okay, now political considerations: Just name one person who lost
their life from or during the Watergate episode.
Think Hillary.
Hillary do the right thing and do it now. It is your job.
Hopefully Hillary will do the right thing.
Leave the gun. Take the cannolies.
Right now it looks like Hillary is responsible for the death of four people. If she really was thwarted from attempting to prevent that event why would she want that blame? Causing death of Americans or bringing down a corrupt regime? Which would you want to be remembered for in 10 years?
As bad as the Clintons were, no one is as narcissistic as Obama.
I’d like you to be wrong, but the name Ed Klein brings back memories...
The true ‘money’ sentence in this is this:
“While Bill Clinton wishes his wife would “exonerate” herself by releasing the documents that show she wasn’t at fault for the tragic security failure in Libya, the secretary of state refuses to do so because she doesn’t want to be viewed as a traitor to the Democratic party.”
Please note that Hillary did not care a whit about being a traitor to the country, only to the Democrat party. Let that sink in for a bit.
Sad but true.
Agree, she needs to speak up, be heard, and be strong about it. Now.
Yep, good idea, hope he does it.
she should listen to bill
Agree wholeheartedly.
Hopefully she will.
>>Hillary already sold out to Obama in exchange for him retiring her 2008 campaign debt and it is doubtful she would cross him at this point.
That does not stop her from “leaking” documents through an anonymous source.
As best as I can tell the below is the first thread on the terrorist attack on Obama’s mission in Benghazi, Libya, September 11, 2012, posted on FR. Hillary gave a statement and she is the first one I have found officially that attributed the terrorist attack to some inflammatory material posted on the Internet.

Statement by Secretary Clinton on the Attack in Benghazi
Press Statement
Hillary Rodham Clinton
Secretary of State
Washington, DC
September 11, 2012
I condemn in the strongest terms the attack on our mission in Benghazi today. As we work to secure our personnel and facilities, we have confirmed that one of our State Department officers was killed. We are heartbroken by this terrible loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and those who have suffered in this attack.
This evening, I called Libyan President Magariaf to coordinate additional support to protect Americans in Libya. President Magariaf expressed his condemnation and condolences and pledged his government’s full cooperation.
Some have sought to justify this vicious behavior as a response to inflammatory material posted on the Internet. The United States deplores any intentional effort to denigrate the religious beliefs of others. Our commitment to religious tolerance goes back to the very beginning of our nation. But let me be clear: There is never any justification for violent acts of this kind.
In light of the events of today, the United States government is working with partner countries around the world to protect our personnel, our missions, and American citizens worldwide.
Amen!
Forget the fact that I personally want to see Obama’s belongings
loaded up into a moving van, this is a critical issue far outside
of the election, imho.
Mrs. Clinton needs to speak up now, loudly, she can be shrill and cackle, I don’t care,
whatever it takes to get the message out now, that’s her job and she has to step
up to the plate.
