Flashback: Obama, Hillary, Carney Linked ‘Internet Video’ to Benghazi on 9/14/12
May 1, 2014 by
An important follow-up to my post yesterday summarizing Jay Carney’s tussle with ABC News’ Jonathan Karl about newly-released smoking gun emails on Benghazi: The White House spokesman’s central claim was that the key document was not , in fact, about Benghazi. He repeated that claim again today, over and over again, while attacking Republicans for "conspiracy theories." The administration had previously stated that the White House and State Department had made zero substantive changes to Susan Rice’s talking points, which she deployed on all five Sunday morning talk shows on September 16, 2012 — five days after the deadly […]

Email Shows White House Planned Benghazi Video Deception
April 30, 2014 by
White House officials consciously planned to spin the successful 2012 jihadi attack on the Benghazi diplomatic compound as a spontaneous protest against an anti-Islam video, according to a new email exposed by the public-interest law firm Judicial Watch. The Sept. 14 email by Ben Rhodes, President Obama’s chief foreign policy spokesman, described the public relations goals for a planned briefing of a top official — Susan Rice — who was scheduled to appear Sept. 16 on the Sunday talk-shows. She was invited on the shows to explain the September 2012 attack, which killed the U.S. ambassador and three other […]
Boom: New Benghazi Emails Show WH Coordinated False Talking Points
April 29, 2014 by
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 […]

Government Investigation Into Benghazi Pretty Much Nonexistent
March 14, 2014 by
Since the 9/11 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi that left four Americans dead, including U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens, not a single person has been arrested or killed for their murders. Further, not one State Department or Defense Department employee has been fired as a result of the failures leading up to the attack, which included a major failure to provide adequate security to the compound. Security was repeatedly requested and denied by people working in Benghazi leading up to the 9/11 attack. So why no consequences? It turns out the investigation into what happened in Benghazi is […]

Speaking at a town hall meeting on Wednesday, Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) claimed former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton “screamed at a member of Congress” two days after the Benghazi attack for daring to classify the tragedy as terrorism.

Radio Host: Obama Was âPhotoshoppedâ Into Bin Laden Raid Situation Room Photo
August 16, 2013 by
On his AFA radio show Thursday afternoon, Bryan Fischer theorized that the White House digitally inserted President Obama into the iconic situation room photograph from the night of the 2011 raid on Osama bin Laden ‘s compound. As the evangelical host sees it, Obama initially did not want to be in the room in case the raid went poorly. But when it was successful, Fischer posited, the president had himself photoshopped into the image to look “on-point” and like he had “just left the golf course” to tend to the momentous raid. “If you go look at that picture, […]
