New Benghazi emails show White House effort to protect Obama (UPDATES)
"This had nothing to do with a video, and everything to do with Obama's reelection." ~ Mark Levin
Shocker. Yet, the congressional hot air blows on, not actually acting against a lawless administration, but becoming absorbed within it. And to top it off, Obama remains president, while Hillary is expected to slide right in afterwards. America, how much longer are you gonna take this deception before reacting accordingly?
FreeBeacon: Previously unreleased internal Obama administration emails show that a coordinated effort was made in the days following the Benghazi terror attacks to portray the incident as “rooted in [an] Internet video, and not [in] a broader failure or policy.”
Emails sent by senior White House adviser Ben Rhodes to other top administration officials reveal an effort to insulate President Barack Obama from the attacks that killed four Americans.
Rhodes sent this email to top White House officials such as David Plouffe and Jay Carney just a day before National Security Adviser Susan Rice made her infamous Sunday news show appearances to discuss the attack.
The “goal,” according to these emails, was “to underscore that these protests are rooted in an Internet video, and not a broader failure or policy.”
Rice came under fierce criticism following her appearances on television after she adhered to these talking points and blamed the attack on a little-watched Internet video.
The newly released internal White House e-mails show that Rice’s orders came from top Obama administration communications officials.
“[W]e’ve made our views on this video crystal clear. The United States government had nothing to do with it,” Rhodes wrote in the email, which was released on Tuesday by the advocacy group Judicial Watch.
“We reject its message and its contents,” he wrote. “We find it disgusting and reprehensible. But there is absolutely no justification at all for responding to this movie with violence. And we are working to make sure that people around the globe hear that message.”
Rhodes also suggested that Rice tout Obama’s reputation as “steady and statesmanlike.”
“I think that people have come to trust that President Obama provides leadership that is steady and statesmanlike,” he wrote. “There are always going to be challenges that emerge around the world, and time and again, he has shown that we can meet them.”
Even K'hammer says that thanks to Judicial Watch, we now have the smoking document that exposes a cover-up of a cover-up (the White House inventing the video blame to shield the Obama regime from the failures of their own foreign policy)...oh, and aided by the lib media right before his reelection, mind you.
