A Winning Quinella in a Bad Horse Race
“In April 2014, Judicial Watch first obtained smoking-gun documents showing that it was the Obama White House’s public relations effort that falsely portray the Benghazi consulate terrorist attack as being “rooted in an Internet video, and not a failure of policy.”
The documents include an email by White House operative Ben Rhodes sent on Friday, September 14, 2012, with the subject line: “RE: PREP CALL with Susan, Saturday at 4:00 pm ET.” This “prep” was for Ambassador Susan Rice in advance of her appearances on Sunday news shows to discuss the Benghazi attack and deflect criticism of the administration’s security failures by blaming the attack on spontaneous protests linked to the video.
The email listed as one of the administration’s key talking points:
“Goal: To underscore that these protests are rooted in an Internet video, and not a broader failure or policy.”
Documents released by Judicial Watch last month further confirm that the Obama administration, including Hillary Clinton, Rice, and Obama “immediately knew the attack was an al-Qaeda terrorist attack.””
And who is Ben Rhodes? Brother of the President of CBS News. He also might be Jonathan Gruber’s twin, for Mr. Rhodes seems to harbor the same conceited attitude and contempt for his fiduciary position as a “public servant”. Additionally, it is difficult to imagine that Valerie Jarrett and the president himself were not string pullers in this entire facade. The attitude does not fall far from the presidential tree. Gruber and Rhodes are just a winning quinella in a very bad horse race.
That is quite a stable you have, Mr. President.
