What About The Video?

So, what about the video? The White House last week released nearly 100 pages of emails detailing some of the discussions within the Obama administration that resulted in major revisions to talking points about the Benghazi attacks drafted by the Central Intelligence Agency.

Opps, goof, and placing the source on the wrong. Sorry.

How about the emails from the first 2.5 days after the attack? Love how the MSM failed to note that little gap.

Didn’t Holder & Co. arrest the maker of the video? Does anyone know where he is now?

I would like to see the e-mails where Hillary and Obama discuss their great concerns for the people of Libya and why they must use American military power to overthrow the Libyan government.

Ah, I just checked, and evidently he’s still in jail—on an unrelated charge. Nothing to do with Benghazi, they assure us!

Despite the centrality of the YouTube video to the administration’s public discussion of Benghazi, it goes virtually unmentioned in the nearly 100 pages of emails between the nation’s top intelligence and Obama administration officials as they reshaped the talking points provided by the CIA.

"Is there any point to which you would wish to draw my attention?"
"To the curious incident of the dog in the night-time."
"The dog did nothing in the night-time."
"That was the curious incident," remarked Sherlock Holmes.

They seem to have scrubbed the emails to remove any discussion of “hey, how about we try to pin this on some youtube video? Do you think we could get away with that?” It is beyond strange that the emails we have access to contain almost no discussion of this “oh-so-important” video.

The muslim brotherhood wants him punished.

Federal Correctional Institution-La Tuna in Anthony, Texas.

It will be interesting to see what happens; he is scheduled to be released in August.

I’m guessing of course but something tells me that our old friend Valerie Jarrett might have had a hand in cooking up the video stew. She has, so far, been a total non-participant in any of the scandals. That is just not her style which is very hands-on. After all, she is, in many ways, the President of the United States.

I’d rather see the text messages. I doubt much would come from emails.

There are so many aspects of this debacle which aren’t being discussed! What about the video recorded by the drones? What about the recordings of communications center transmissions between Benghazi and Washington, as well as, AFRICOM and SOCAFRICA? Where is the testimony of the Flag and General Officers who were directly in the chain of command?

While the video and associated cover-up is certainly worthy news and requires an answer, it is amazing how all the media still is using the shinny object tactic.

The most important story by a factor of 10, is who issued the stand down order and the entire chain of command that order went through.

It is a testament to how this is not our government but our oppressors (to steal a word from the left).

When the attack started there was not a single person on this planet who knew how long it would last. If we had a real American in the WH and an administration not completely saturated with fellow communist or communist sympathizers, some sort of rescue mission would have been launched.

No, there was something we were not to know and letting those people die was the best way to keep us from finding out.

That man should not still be defiling our White House along with his American hating trash of a wife. He sacrificed American lives to win an election.

Once he leaves or better dragged out in chains, the White House should be burned to the ground and rebuilt so not a molecule of his DNA remains. There is not enough industrial strength Janitor In A Drum to remove the filth and stain of this administration.

EXACTLY.
