LIE TO ME: Carney Spews Crap On Bombshell Email That The WH Steered Benghazi Attack To Anti-Islam Video

By Clash Daily / 1 May 2014


Daily Mail – White House Press Secretary Jay Carney endured a sustained grilling from reporters on Wednesday as he struggled to explain an email showing the White House’s involvement in spinning a false account of why four Americans died in Benghazi, Libya less than two months before the 2012 presidential election.

The email, written by Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes, described a ‘prep call’ with then-UN Ambassador Susan Rice which took place four days after the September 11, 2012 terror attack, and less than a day before she was to be a guest on five different Sunday morning political talk shows.

Jay Carney fumbles on bombshell email showing how the White House steered Benghazi terror-attack narrative toward an anti-Islam video

• Ben Rhodes, the president's deputy national security adviser, wrote three days after the terror attack about coaching then-UN Ambassador Susan Rice for upcoming TV appearances
• Rice falsely told five different Sunday talk-show audiences that the devastation in Benghazi was the result of anti-America protests that spiraled out of control
• Demonstrations in other Middle East cities that week were reportedly sparked by a crude anti-Islam video, which Rice, Obama and Hillary Clinton all blamed for Benghazi
• Rhodes' email said that a prep session with Rice would prepare her 'to underscore that these protests are rooted in an Internet video, and not a broader failure of policy'
• Jay Carney insisted that Rhodes was writing generally about protests in the Muslim world, and that his email 'was explicitly not about Benghazi'
  
• But the State Department included the same document in a batch of materials it released to a congressional committee on April 17, writing that it was 'responsive' to its subpoena for Benghazi-related files

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney endured a sustained grilling from reporters on Wednesday as he struggled to explain an email showing the White House's involvement in spinning a false account of why four Americans died in Benghazi, Libya less than two months before the 2012 presidential election.

The email, written by Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes, described a 'prep call' with then-UN Ambassador Susan Rice which took place four days after the September 11, 2012 terror attack, and less than a day before she was to be a guest on five different Sunday morning political talk shows.
During the initial weeks after the attack, the White House and congressional Democrats told the public that Muslim protesters, upset over a crude American-produced YouTube video mocking Islam, demonstrated outside U.S. diplomatic facilities in Benghazi before channeling their anger toward arson and artillery.
Rhodes informed the West Wing communications team – including Carney – that one 'goal' of the Sept. 15, 2012 call would be to prepare Rice 'to ​underscore that these protests are rooted in an Internet video, and not a broader failure or policy.'

Palace intrigue: Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes (R) set up a pre-TV-show 'prep call' for then-UN Ambassador Susan Rice (L), outlining a communications strategy that now suggests the White House purposely misled the nation into thinking a crude YouTube video incited the deadly Benghazi terror attack

Scene of the crime: U.S. consular facilities inside the Benghazi compound were torched the night of September 11, 2012, and four U.S. personnel including Ambassador Chris Stevens lost their lives


Carney insisted Wednesday during a White House press briefing that Rhodes' email 'was explicitly not about Benghazi. It was about the overall situation in the region, the Muslim world, where you saw protests outside of embassy facilities across the region, including in Cairo, Sana’a, Khartoum and Tunis.'
But Wednesday night the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform sent MailOnline a cover letter showing that on April 17, the U.S. Department of State provided committee staff with copies of a batch of documents in response to a subpoena for Benghazi-related materials.
The Rhodes email was among them, although committee staff told MailOnline that most of it was redacted, or blacked-out.
'As part of the Department’s ongoing document production we are providing an additional set of documents in connection with the Committee’s investigation into the attacks on the U.S. Special Mission in Benghazi,' State Department Assistant Secretary for Legislative Affairs Julia Frifield wrote.
'This production consists of documents responsive to the Committee’s subpoena of August 1, 2013.'
The Rhodes email, declared 'classified' by the White House prior to the release of related materials in May 2013, would likely have remained out of public view but for a Freedom Of Information Act lawsuit filed against the State Department by Judicial Watch, a center-right watchdog group.
Its later pages also specifically refer to Benghazi.

• Former deputy CIA director denies being part of politically driven Benghazi cover-up as his ties to Hillary Clinton are revealed
• Susan Rice admits Benghazi information was not '100 per cent correct' but has no regrets

Rhodes wrote that Rice needed to be prepared to answer the question: 'What's your response to the Independent story that says we have intelligence 48 hours in advance of the Benghazi attack that was ignored?'

A scripted answer provided for the 'prep call' read: 'We are not aware of any actionable intelligence indicating that an attack on the U.S. Mission in Benghazi was planned or imminent. The currently available information suggests that the demonstrations in Benghazi were spontaneously inspired by the protests at the U.S. Embassy in Cairo.'

Utah Republican Rep. Jason Chaffetz told former CBS investigative reporter Sharyl Attkisson that the White House seems to have tried to keep the Rhodes email out of public view by declaring it 'classified' out of convenience.
'They retroactively changed the classification,' Chaffetz said. 'That was an unclassified document and they changed it to classified.'

Judicial Watch communications director mocked the White House press secretary on Wednesday evening for downplaying the significance of the documents her group surfaced.
'The Benghazi documents we released were produced by a LAWSUIT,' she emphasized in a statement to MailOnline. 'That Carney would imply that the State Department gave us some random document doesn't pass the giggle test.'

Rhodes, who often briefs reporters on conference calls and it typically referred to vaguely as a 'senior White House official,' wrote an email days after the Benghazi attack that Republicans now see as a smoking gun


'Now we know the Obama White House's chief concern about the Benghazi attack was making sure that President Obama looked good,' Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton said Wednesday.
'And these documents undermine the Obama administration’s narrative that it thought the Benghazi attack had something to do with protests or an Internet video. Given the explosive material in these documents, it is no surprise that we had to go to federal court to pry them loose from the Obama State Department.'
Republican National Committee chair Reince Priebus mocked the Obama administration for what now appears a ham-fisted attempt to keep sensational details about its response to a deadly terror attack out of public view.
'If the White House felt this talking points memo was classified, what else don't we know about Benghazi and is all of this stonewalling just to protect Hillary?' he jabbed.
President Obama stood for re-election eight weeks to the day after the Benghazi attack, and ultimately shifted gears to emphasize that the attack was premeditated, highly organized, ruthless and coordinated by al-Qaeda-affiliated Islamist militants.
The question of who inserted the video, titled 'Innocence of Muslims,' into his administration's official narrative about the murderous chaos that ensued has been a political football since Rice told those five TV audiences that it was the lit match that set off a deadly powder keg.
'Based on the best information we have to date,' she told CBS's 'Face the Nation' in one example, 'what our assessment is as of the present is in fact what began spontaneously in Benghazi as a reaction to what had transpired some hours earlier in Cairo where, of course, as you know, there was a violent protest outside of our embassy – sparked by this hateful video.'

History, Obama-style: To this day news bureaus encounter captions on photos like this one, showing the Benghazi diplomatic station in mid-conflagration, referring to the event as the outgrowth of a protest that never happened



+7

Not true: Susan Rice told CBS viewers five days after the terror attack that 'our assessment is' that the Benghazi attack 'began spontaneously' after a 'violent protest [was] sparked by this hateful video' elsewhere in the Muslim world


South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham told reporters Wednesday that the emails Judicial Watch released 'show that Benghazi, in the eyes of the White House, was a political problem for re-election and they approached it from that point of view.'
The email setting Rice's talk-show agenda, he added, 'clearly shows that Ben Rhodes was trying to be a political operative rather than a national security spokesman.'
On TV that Sunday, Rice was working from a series of talking points that Democrats in Congress had requested for their own use in media interviews. That document's initial draft, prepared by the CIA, declared that 'we do know that Islamic extremists with ties to al-Qaeda participated in the attack.'
By the time the talking points filtered down to Rice, however, that notice was gone – along with other declarations about terror threats in Benghazi during the previous months, including some from an al-Qaeda-affiliated group called Ansar al-Shariah.
Many of those edits, it emerged later, were made at the State Department, with then-spokeswoman Victoria Nuland objecting just days after the attacks in an email that the administration shouldn't name specific terror groups because 'we don't want to prejudice the investigation.'
Carney assured reporters in November 2012 that 'the White House and the State Department have made clear that the single adjustment that was made to those talking points by either of those two institutions were changing the word "consulate" to "diplomatic facility" because "consulate" was inaccurate.'
Sen. Graham told Attkisson that 'the political shop at the White House took over early on. They understood it was a terrorist attack, that they had a political problem, and were going to handle it politically.'
'They weren't going to entertain anything other than what they wanted the public to hear.'
Graham co-signed a letter Monday with fellow Republicans Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire and John McCain of Arizona, asking the House Foreign Affairs and Senate Foreign Relations committees to force Obama administration figures to explain whether State Department or White House personnel were involved in briefing Rice.
They referred former deputy CIA director Michael Morell, who testified this year that Rice linked the YouTube video to the attacks despite the CIA never making that connection in its analysis.

'How could former Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice, during the five Sunday talk shows on September 16, 2012, claim that the attacks on our compounds were caused by a hateful video,' the senators wrote, 'when Mr. Morell testified that the CIA never mentioned the video as a causal factor?'

Obama and Rice lied and Hillary swore to it!! Then said said "What difference does it make"???!!

The Benghazi Scandal Is Finally Blowing Up Big-Time

By Donald Joy / 2 May 2014
Suddenly, the investigation into the 9/11/2012 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi has taken an astonishing turn toward exposing the Obama administration’s cynical fraud and dereliction of duty in the weeks just before the last presidential election.

Yesterday, in a rare occurrence of mainstream journalistic integrity, ABC’s Jon Karl discovered his inner reporter and opened up a can of bitch-slap on Obama’s press prostitute, Jay Carney, over the damning revelations contained in emails which have finally been released. Carney’s lies got no traction as Karl delivered withering fire without letting up. Watch the glorious smackdown here:

There’s more. Just this morning, former military commanders testified before congress that based on the totality of their intelligence, they knew immediately on the night in question that the incident was an organized, planned, Al-Qaeda related terrorist attack. They also testified that they knew the ensuing White House story about a protest over a video was completely bogus, and that the imperative that night should have been to try to get help to Stevens and the others at once, instead of standing down as they were ordered by the administration.

The bottom line is that the presidential election was less than two months away, and the democrats could not afford to have Obama’s claim that “GM is alive, and Al-Qaeda is vanquished!” be exposed to be the lie that it was. Nor could the administration afford to have the incident escalate even further, into a full-blown military combat operation, by sending help to the SEALS–that would draw unwanted attention to the still-looming problem of Obama’s and Clinton’s total bungling of the entire situation across the Muslim world–not good for Obama’s re-election prospects.

So Obama, Clinton, Rice, Jarrett, and the entire administration and democrat party all lied, and our men died. The video in question, which they insisted over and over was “reprehensible” and “heinous” and “extremely offensive” is actually none of these, as far as I can tell. I tried to watch it, but found it so boring and inconsequential that I couldn’t stay with it long enough to discover what alleged offenses it contains (but then, I consider any material which is anti-Islamic and anti-Mohammed to be good and true and right).

Hillary Clinton got in the Benghazi victims’ families’ faces and declared, with disgustingly feigned outrage, that the administration would “get” the maker of the video and “bring him to justice”, as if that was the heart of the matter–not the fact that our men were murdered by Muslim terrorists! She lied right to the families, with the bodies of their loved ones lying in caskets only feet away. The hapless “Innocence of Muslims” movie-maker sits rotting in his U.S. jail cell over a technicality, and not a single one of the Benghazi terrorist attackers has been captured and brought to justice, despite ample opportunity to nail them.

What difference, at this point, does it make?

In Hillary Clinton’s now-famous tirade before the senate, I’d like you to notice something that nobody seems to have pointed out. She screams her implied position that it really doesn’t make any difference as to the cause of the fatal incident in Benghazi. But in the very same breath (her immediate next words, in fact), she pounds the table and screeches, “It is our job to figure out what happened…”

Well, which is it, Hillary? If it doesn’t really matter what happened, then why does she simultaneously exclaim that they are there to find out what happened?

I say it makes all the difference in the world, considering that another pathological liar might possibly become the next president of the United States.

The Shocking FACTS About Benghazi No One is Talking About

Susanne Posel 14 hours ago

Recent emails from a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request made by Judicial Watch which indicates that Ben Rhodes, speech writer for President Obama, "conducted meetings with" former UN Ambassador Susan Rice to collaborate on her now infamous "Benghazi comments."

Journalist Jennifer Rubin asserts: "The Rhodes memo certainly seems to confirm the allegations Republicans have been making for more than a year: the White House was intentionally spinning after the attack so as not to damage their reelection prospects. The White House denied this, and now there is evidence the critics were right. Isn't the mainstream media the least bit curious about what happened? You'd think their new-found independence and critical analysis of Obama foreign policy would provoke some rumination about Benghazi. Or perhaps, they are simply unwilling to recognize that they missed the boat all along and concede that conservative media scooped them again and again."

In defense of the FOIA emails released, Bernadette Meehan, spokesperson for the National Security Council (NSC) said: "In the email Ben Rhodes makes clear that our primary goals included making sure our people in the field were protected and bringing those responsible for the attacks to justice," Bernadette Meehan, National Security Council spokeswoman, said in a statement. "The content reflects what the administration was saying at the time and what we understood to be the facts at the time."

Meehan continued: "Unlike those who insist on politicizing the events in Benghazi, our focus remains on ensuring that a tragedy like this isn't repeated in Libya or anywhere else in the world. In our view, these documents only serve to reinforce what we have long been saying: that in the days after September 11, 2012, we were concerned by unrest occurring across the region and that we provided our best assessment of what was happening at the time."

Last December, the The New York Times (NYT) reported that al-Qaeda was not involved in the attack in Benghazi.

This information was attributed to "extensive interviews with Libyans in Benghazi who had direct knowledge of the attack there and its context."
This past January, the US State Department (SD) stated that Ansar al-Shari'a were the group responsible for the attacks in Benghazi.

The SD explained: "Ansar al-Shari'a in Benghazi and Ansar al-Shari'a in Darnah have been involved in terrorist attacks against civilian targets, frequent assassinations, and attempted assassinations of security officials and political actors in eastern Libya, and the September 11, 2012 attacks against the U.S. Special Mission and Annex in Benghazi, Libya. Members of both organizations continue to pose a threat to U.S. interests in Libya."
This information was obtained by Guantanamo Bay detainees Sufian bin Qumu and Ahmed Abu Khattalah who are alleged the heads of the Darnah and Benghazi branches of Ansar al-Shari'a.

In 2012, David Petraeus, former director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) was planning on informing the House and Senate committees that Ansar al-Shari'a was identified as "a prime suspect" at Benghazi from the beginning.

However, facts surrounding the attack have been ignored by the majority of media outlets because they do not fit into the "official" narrative that has become the Benghazi scandal.

Mohammad al-Bishari, landlord of the gated-villa rented out by the SD and the actual "compound" where the attack occurred confirmed that the men who attacked the villa, threw grenades over the walls, shoot and killed the US Marines who tried to defend Stevens; then looted and stole sensitive documents containing the names of Libyans working with the US and the Saudi Arabian government in terroristic operations, as well as oil contracts tying the US and Saudi Arabia, and burned it to the ground after murdering US Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens.

The assailants were armed with American assault rifles, rocket-propelled grenades and carried the black flag of the Ansar al-Sharia.
Petraeus' testimony may have been publically censored because of a little known fact that has been kept from the general public about US Ambassador Stevens "other mission" in Benghazi.

Stevens was conducting surveillance missions for the CIA on the National Transitional Council (NTC), the defacto-government installed by the US after the assassination of Gaddafi, and their Salafi extremist ties which lead to the Muslim Brotherhood.

In truth, Stevens was conducting arms deals with the NTC while simultaneously spying on the NTC for the CIA. This was a true nature of Stevens' diplomatic missions which were sanctioned by the SD.

Some of Stevens' deals for arms can be realized in the artillery and weapons being funneled to the Free Syrian Army (FSA) in Syria who are fighting the proxy war for the US.

Stevens became the "liaison" between US-sponsored terrorist factions and the movement of arms to Syria to assist the FSA. And this is the reason Stevens was murdered.

Shipments to the FSA have come from Saudi Arabia where the Salafi terrorists originated and the Ansar al-Shari'a is used to further subversive interests.

Thanks to the US, the Saudi government and Stevens, the FSA are the most heavily armed state-sponsored jihadist group in the Middle East.
This leads into Hillary Clinton's involvement as then Secretary of State.

Clinton, was responsible for diplomatic security, and denied Stevens' request.

And in response, there was an order from the US government to disarm the US Marine Security by refusing them live ammo while allowing them to keep their guns.

Clinton, not wanting the Saudi connection to become common knowledge, and knowing that Stevens was directly involved in arms trade deals between the NTC and the Saudi government to arm the FSA in Syria paved the way for Stevens to be murdered.

ISSA SUBPOENAS KERRY

Posted by Joe For America on May 2, 2014

House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa is issuing a subpoena for Secretary of State John Kerry to testify before the committee May 21 about Benghazi, Issa announced Friday.


The move comes in the wake of new, “smoking gun” emails that show top White House officials working to craft a narrative that the attack was the result of a YouTube video and “not a broader failure of policy.”

Enter to win the Family Gun Package Giveaway!

Republicans have expressed outrage that the documents were not provided earlier under subpoenas for them, but instead came out via a Freedom Of Information Request lawsuit by the conservative non-profit group Judicial Watch.

On Thursday, House Speaker John Boehner called on Kerry to testify before the House to explain why the documents weren’t provided earlier.

“The House used its subpoena power to obtain documents, including emails, last year, but these emails didn’t show up until now, after a court ordered their release to an outside watchdog group,” Boehner said.

“This defiance of the House’s subpoena power is the most flagrant example yet of the administration’s contempt for the American people’s right to know the truth about what happened when four Americans died in a fiery terrorist attack. If the White House won’t explain it, Secretary Kerry should come to the Capitol to explain why he defied an official congressional subpoena. And the White House needs to understand that this investigation will not end until the entire truth is revealed and justice and accountability are served,” Boehner added.

“The email from Ben Rhodes demonstrates the Obama administration from the beginning misled Congress, the media and most importantly, the American people,” Cantor said on Wednesday. “It is increasingly clear that this administration orchestrated an effort to deflect attention away from their failed Libya policy and the resurgence of Al Qaeda and other terrorists.”

Issa Subpoenas Kerry To Testify On Benghazi

House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa is issuing a subpoena for Secretary of State John Kerry to testify before the committee May 21 about Benghazi, Issa announced Friday.

The move comes in the wake of new, "smoking gun" emails that show top White House officials working to craft a narrative that the attack was the result of a YouTube video and "not a broader failure of policy."
Republicans have expressed outrage that the documents were not provided earlier under subpoenas for them, but were instead revealed via a Freedom Of Information Request lawsuit by the conservative non-profit group Judicial Watch.
“Compliance with a subpoena for documents is not a game. Because your Department is failing to meet its legal obligations, I am issuing a new subpoena to compel you to appear before the Committee to answer questions about your agency’s response to the congressional investigation of the Benghazi attack," Issa said in a May 2 letter to Kerry.
Regarding the Obama administration's failure to provide the documents before now, Issa warns Kerry, "such contempt of Congress may constitute a criminal offense."
On Thursday, House Speaker John Boehner called on Kerry to testify before the House to explain why the documents weren't provided earlier.
“The House used its subpoena power to obtain documents, including emails, last year, but these emails didn’t show up until now, after a court ordered their release to an outside watchdog group,” Boehner said.
“This defiance of the House’s subpoena power is the most flagrant example yet of the administration's contempt for the American people’s right to know the truth about what happened when four Americans died in a fiery terrorist attack. If the White House won’t explain it, Secretary Kerry should come to the Capitol to explain why he defied an official congressional subpoena. And the White House needs to understand that this investigation will not end until the entire truth is revealed and justice and accountability are served,” Boehner added.
“The email from Ben Rhodes demonstrates the Obama administration from the beginning misled Congress, the media and most importantly, the American people,” Majority Leader Eric Cantor said on Wednesday. “It is increasingly clear that this administration orchestrated an effort to deflect attention away from their failed Libya policy and the resurgence of Al Qaeda and other terrorists.”
The key email in question from then-White House Deputy Strategic Communications Adviser Ben Rhodes, included an overview of suggestions for Susan Rice for her appearance on the Sunday news shows two days later.
One suggestion was: "To underscore that these protests are rooted in and Internet video, and not a broader failure or policy."
White House press secretary Jay Carney has said the Sept. 14, 2012 email was "explicitly not about Benghazi," and noted that a series of protests over the video had occurred in Cairo, Egypt and other locations.
Republicans have noted the Benghazi attacks were the dominant news topic two days after four Americans had been killed there, that the other talking points in the email are about Americans "harmed" overseas and no Americans were harmed in the protests -- only at Benghazi -- and that the email was provided in response to a FOIA inquiry about Benghazi.
Full release:

Secretary Kerry Subpoenaed to Appear Before Oversight Committee
WASHINGTON – Today, House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif., announced the issuance of a subpoena for testimony to Secretary of State John Kerry. The subpoena requires Secretary Kerry to appear before the Committee to answer questions at a public hearing on May 21, 2014.

“The State Department’s response to the congressional investigation of the Benghazi attack has shown a disturbing disregard for the Department’s legal obligations to Congress,” Chairman Issa writes in a letter to Secretary Kerry accompanying the subpoena. “Compliance with a subpoena for documents is not a game. Because your Department is failing to meet its legal obligations, I am issuing a new subpoena to compel you to appear before the Committee to answer questions about your agency’s response to the congressional investigation of the Benghazi attack.”

On April 17, 2014, the State Department sent a letter informing the Committee that it was producing previously unreleased e-mails subject to prior requests and subpoenas. These e-mails show that White House official Ben Rhodes coordinated talking points for then-Ambassador Susan Rice which encouraged an emphasis that the attack was “rooted in an Internet video, and not a failure of policy.”

“The fact that these documents were withheld from Congress for more than 19 months is alarming,” wrote Chairman Issa. “The Department is not entitled to delay responsive materials because it is embarrassing or implicates the roles and actions of senior officials.”

Yesterday, retired USAF Brig. Gen. Robert Lovell, who was in the operations control room in Germany on the night of the attacks, testified that the State Department never asked military forces to go save Americans in Benghazi during the attack.

Benghazi Bombshell: Boehner Finally Calls for Select Committee on Benghazi Cover-up

Pamela Geller 39 mins ago

Editor's Note: The irony, that in an election year, John Boehner finally comes forward and is pushing for a select committee to investigate the Benghazi cover-up after the recent bombshell email releases. Boehner stood opposed to a select committee last year, despite support for Congressman Frank Wolf's (R-VA) resolution that was introduced back in January 2013, which had more than 117 supporters in the House of Representatives, along with the support of the mother of slain information management officer Sean Smith, Patricia Smith. At that time, Boehner said it was too costly, and this was after he oversaw the passing of the fiscal cliff deal and the debt ceiling compromise with Obama. While I'm glad to see a reversal, one has to wonder if Boehner doesn't have "electile dysfunction."

So now we have proof of what we, the much maligned truth tellers, have been saying since day one. The video had nothing to do with the jihad attack at Benghazi, and even if it did, the coward in the White House copped out to sharia instead of standing for freedom. The White House knew from the very first that it was Islamic terror. The White House directed the cover-up.

The release of Benghazi emails tied a top White House aide to former U.N. ambassador Susan Rice's mendacious Sunday show statements after the Benghazi terror attack.

Knowing that the cold-blooded murder of our Ambassador and three other brave Americans was Islamic terror, knowing this, the President of the United States stood up before the world a week later and said, "The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam." That is what the President said after we were brutally attacked on September 11, 2012. That Romney never pounded this is one of many reasons he was a hopeless loser.

What I want to know is, where was Obama on the night of the Islamic terror attack in Benghazi on September 11, 2012?

And why didn't he give the order to help our people? America always saves our people. No matter the odds. Only he could have given the order.
Where are Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein? *Headslap* Accountability, that's only for Republican presidents.

The Republicans better get their act together and grow a pair. The investigation of Benghazi has been pathetic — half-assed, half in, half out. If Obama has been steamrolling over our freedoms, it is because the right laid down for him and the corrupt, complicit media. The Whigs were thrown over when they, too, became ineffectual.

Boehner should have done this years ago. Makes you wonder what they have on him.

As for the media, they ought to be on this like white on rice. The White House went after FOX news reporters who pursued this story. James Rosen was targeted for prosecution. FOX was banned from State Department briefings, etc. Don't they know that big oppressive government will eventually come after them?

Weekly Standard:

UPDATE: Other news organizations confirm the report below that House speaker John Boehner will announce the formation of a select committee on Benghazi, led by Rep. Trey Gowdy.

House Speaker John Boehner is "seriously considering" appointing a select committee to investigate the attacks on the U.S. diplomatic post in Benghazi, Libya, according to a senior GOP leadership aide. The move comes after the revelation of an email from a top Obama national security official, Ben Rhodes, instructing Susan Rice to focus on an anti-Muslim internet video to explain the attacks.

"The new emails this week were the straw that broke the camel's back," says the aide. "The Speaker was furious to learn that the administration withheld relevant documents from a congressional subpoena. He's sick and tired of this evasion and obstruction from the administration, and wants a solution to finally force accountability, get to the truth, and provide justice."

Boehner, who has paid careful attention to the Benghazi developments since the attacks, has resisted calls to appoint a select committee, preferring to allow the various committees of jurisdiction to pursue investigations of their slices of the attacks on their own. Aides say Boehner continues to believe that the work of those committees has been valuable. "The current committees investigating the attack have done good work, using their authority, including subpoena authority, to gather facts, interview hundreds of witnesses, and conduct dozens of hearings. But this week's events demonstrate a new level of stonewalling and obfuscation by the administration that requires a new level of investigation."

Harry Reid Calls Benghazi Probe a ‘Political Circus,’ Accuses GOP of Defending the Koch Brothers

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.) responded in typical fashion to House Speaker John Boehner’s (R., Ohio) decision to establish a select committee to investigate the Benghazi terrorist attack of September 11, 2012:
Below is Reid’s full statement, in which he attacks the Koch brothers in the second sentence, never mentions the word “Benghazi,” and accuses Republicans of:

• “Trying to rekindle debunked right-wing conspiracy theories”
• Wasting the American people’s time
• “Staging a partisan political circus”
• Ginning up “yet another political food fight”

“Republicans are showing yet against that they have nothing to offer the middle class. Republicans care more about defending billionaires like the Koch brothers and trying to rekindle debunked right-wing conspiracy theories than raising the minimum wage or ensuring women receive equal pay for equal work.


“There have already been multiple investigations into this issue and an independent Accountability Review Board is mandated under current law. For Republicans to waste the American people’s time and money staging a partisan political circus instead of focusing on the middle class is simply a bad decision. While Republicans try to gin up yet another political food fight, Senate Democrats will remain focused on fostering economic growth for all hard-working Americans.”

Trey Gowdy Claims to Have Evidence Of ‘A Systematic, Intentional Decision To Withhold Documents From Congress’ on Benghazi

Brendan Bordelon 18 hours ago

South Carolina Republican congressman Trey Gowdy claimed he has evidence of “a systematic, intentional decision to withhold certain documents from Congress” about the Benghazi attacks and alleged White House cover-up.

Gowdy spoke with Fox News’ Greta van Susteren about Speaker of the House John Boehner’s Friday decision to form a select committee on Benghazi. The congressman explained that the committee will allow a more complete investigation into the issue, unburdened by the jurisdictional restraints that often plague other committees.

“If you want to have Greg Hicks and the station chief from Tripoli and Hillary Clinton all sitting at the same table, you need to have a committee that has the power to do that,” Gowdy said. “And a select committee would have that power.”

Gowdy — widely viewed as a frontrunner to chair the new committee — later told Susteren he supports Congress’ subpoena of Secretary of State John Kerry in order to get documents they have long awaited from the State Department.

He then added he has proof that documents relating to Benghazi and the alleged Obama administration cover-up have been deliberately withheld from Congress.

“Well, I have evidence that not only are they hiding it, there is an intent to hide it,” he claimed. “I can’t disclose that evidence yet, but I have evidence that there was a systematic, intentional decision to withhold certain documents from Congress.”
“And we’re just sick of it,” he added. “So we’re gonna have him come explain why we’re getting documents 20 months late.”

Doing A Little Blow? : Where was Obama the night of Benghazi?? -
gopthedailydose.com
By Amy Elizabeth There have been many different theories about where B . Hussein Obama was on Sept 11, 2012? President Obama didn’t make any phone calls the night of the Sept. 11 attacks on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, the White House said in a letter to Congress. “During the entire attack, the president of the United States never picked up the phone to put the weight of his office in the mix,” said Sen.… Continue Reading

Benghazi Attack Was Unprecedented & So Was its Coverup - Freedom Outpost
ow.ly
Liberals are asking us not to care so much about Benghazi. I've read many articles over the last few months telling us that the attack was nothing new and asking what difference does it make now. One such posting was by Ben Cesca of the Daily Banter. In it, he writes of the "republican persecution" …
