Benghazi Scandal: Judicial Watch Gets WH Emails

The White House has been lying about Benghazi and the deaths of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three operators for 20 months now.  Finally, after a FOIA lawsuit in court, Judicial Watch has gotten the smoking gun emails that show the WH worked hard to cover up the truth.



Judge Janine had a very good summation of the events in late 2012:  Judge Janine on Nov 25, 2013

Now, she updates the new information in a simple fashion: Judge-jeanine-mr-president-you-have-not-protected-us - May 4, 2014

And:  Judge Janine on Feb 6, 2014 - What did you do for Benghazi, Mr. President?

And:  Judge Jeanine: What ever happened to truth and justice? April 13, 2014

And what of the Judicial Watch emails?   Well, Congress has approved and investigation headed by Congressman Trey Goudy, a former prosecutor.  And discrepancies in the releases seem to indicate more cover-up and more documents that have not been released.

From the above:  "The Rhodes email was sent on sent on Friday, September 14, 2012, at 8:09 p.m. with the subject line:  “RE: PREP CALL with Susan, Saturday at 4:00 pm ET.”  The documents show that the “prep” was for Amb. Rice’s Sunday news show appearances to discuss the Benghazi attack.
The document lists as a “Goal”: “To underscore that these protests are rooted in and Internet video, and not a broader failure or policy.”
Rhodes returns to the “Internet video” scenario later in the email, the first point in a section labeled “Top-lines”:
[W]e’ve made our views on this video crystal clear. The United States government had nothing to do with it. We reject its message and its contents. 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."

Background:  The White Huse released some initial documents about Benghazi last year, but not all.  It took Judicial Watch a year and a FOIA request that had to be resolved in court to obtain the latest emails.  

Once again, the "most transparent administration" is proving to be one of the least transparent.
