As recently as yesterday, though, Rice doubled down on this defense: “I relied soley and squarely on the information provided to me by the intelligence community.
If she relied solely on info from the intel community - then she’s saying the intel community told her it was because of some obscure video because that was said in her statements.
The only problem with that is “the intel community” states they never said such a thing - - - soooo we’re right back to the White Hut having edited her story!!!

This article explains the Benghazi talking-points shell game better than most.
"Clapper is the president’s man. For all practical purposes, he is White House staff, as much as the national security adviser. He attends Oval Office meetings and discerns the wishes of the president and senior staff. "
Clapper, as head of DNI, is WH unofficially, and officially, DNI intel.
Going down memory lane, Clapper also said this in in February, 2011:
When mass demonstrations were bringing down Mubarak's presidency in Egypt, Clapper told a House Intelligence Committee hearing that:
"The term 'Muslim Brotherhood'...is an umbrella term for a variety of movements, in the case of Egypt, a very heterogeneous group, largely secular, which has eschewed violence and has decried Al Qaeda as a perversion of Islam," ... "They have pursued social ends, a betterment of the political order in Egypt, et cetera.....In other countries, there are also chapters or franchises of the Muslim Brotherhood, but there is no overarching agenda, particularly in pursuit of violence, at least internationally."
