Le·gal In·sur·rec·tion:
Obama adviser David Plouffe appeared on ABC’s This Week today and in a classic case of liberal projection, he tried to blame the GOP for politicizing the attack in Benghazi.
Conservative talk radio host Laura Ingraham was also on the panel and took Plouffe to task.

David Plouffe, you’re actually on that email that caused so much trouble this week. It was an email to you and several others from Ben Rhodes. And everybody keying on this line in the — in the — in the email, to underscore — this is the goals of the Sunday morning appearance — “to underscore that these protests are rooted in an Internet video, not a broader failure of policy.”
A lot of Republicans saying this is the smoking gun.
I know you dismiss that, but was it a mistake not to release this email earlier?
DAVID PLOUFFE, DEMOCRATIC STRATEGIST: No, I think, you know, lawyers have spoken to this and it’s out now. I think, listen, what Benghazi was was a tragedy. What we need to do is figure out how to prevent it from happening again and to try and hold those accountable, as we did bin Laden.
Took a while, but after 11 years, we did.
I think what you see wasn’t the U.S.S. Cole bombing, 17 of our sailors died. The weeks before the 2000 election. What did then-Governor Bush say? It’s time for our nation to speak as one voice.
Now you couldn’t handle that in this party. This has been politicized like we’ve never seen before.
And I think what’s happening, Richard Nixon talked about a silent majority back in 1968. There’s a very loud delusional minority that’s driving our politics, that’s in control of the Republican Party. There’s no conspiracy here at all.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Loud, delusion minority, Laura?
People need to put their sleuth hats on…
If this Administration had absolutely nothing to hide…and nothing to gain (2012 Election anyone?)
Why on God’s green earth does it take 20 months (ah, lets drag this out – just maybe it will go away) and court orders by members of a Republican Congress to actually acquire the needed INFORMATION to clear them (Obama, Hillary, Rice, Carney et al) if they were truly innocent of any wrong doing….innocent of formulating a huge LIE and present it to the American people as Truth???
Why would this Administration NOT have just given up the documents requested to prove there was no wrong doing on their part?….no politicizing A LIE ?? (as in 4 Americans were killed because of a VIDEO...) JUST PRIOR TO AN 2012 ELECTION where THE OFRAUD was to RUN ??
When are these lefty people in the MSM ever going to TIRE of protecting these FRAUDS….
They (Plouff/Hillary/Obama/Rice/Carney et al) HAVE TO KNOW their ‘story’ about a video causing the deaths of 4 Americans who they, by the way, DID NOT HELP…. is absolutely ABSURD…yet they go on and on believing their own LIES.
THEY sound like the mental cases! Yet they ‘try’ to continue to spin it the other way (as in the republicans are delusional and politicizing) !! Hello…the Republicans didn’t create the Video LIE…didn’t leave 4 Americans to DIE…
The Republicans aren’t the Commander in Chief nor his Advisors…. it was the Democrats in office who created the Lie…
And to make matters worse, they insist on insulting the intelligence of millions of Americans who KNOW THEY ARE LYING.… OMG!! SO Frustrating
@FATIH7: OR, drag it out and complain that it is dragging on and on, blaming those being denied the information in order to make their conclusions (all past conclusions are null and void, thanks to this latest email) about the attack. Politicize it, then blame those asking why it was politicized for politicizing it.
They intentionally hid Hillary and trotted Susan Rice out to do the lying so she could claim ignorance when (not if) the thinly veiled lie of the video came back to bite them. However, it was Hillary’s responsibility; her responsibility to ensure the safety of those men and her responsibility to answer for what went wrong. For her own good, she should have dropped dime on this whole scheme. Now, she is even more obviously unfit to command.
Only the most terminally sycophantic (and there are a LOT) will continue to cling to the Hillary bandwagon. She would be every bit as disastrous as Obama has been.
@Bill Burris – The vindication for the good men and women who are trying to get to the TRUTH IS this LATEST E-Mail…
Yet, YET! In the latest Carney episode (an ABC reporter Jon Karl) challenged Carney regarding this recent Benghazi email that ‘finally’ came into the light… and Carney is going on and on and on trying to “explain away” the who – the how – the why – the WHEN with yet… more lies…his performance was absolutely incredible!
For some odd reason Carey kept referring back to an ABC “Promo” ??? As if the ABC ‘Promo’ has anything to do with the questions and ANSWERS (Truth) Jon was trying to get out of Carney. How does Carney, any of them, sleep at night?
Carney, in the 8 + minute video is what a RAT on a sinking ship looks like!
I stumbled on the video here: justbarkingmad.com
Also surprisingly interesting is Joe Scarborough going after Donny Deutsch; And, No, if it weren’t for the latest Benghazi Email, Joe would have stayed on the lefty bandwagon against conservatives and republicans who are seeking the truth regarding Benghazi….So, I am not holding my breath assuming that “Joe has finally “seen the light”….interesting though…from NewsBusters:

“I think what you see wasn’t the U.S.S. Cole bombing, 17 of our sailors died. The weeks before the 2000 election. What did then-Governor Bush say? It’s time for our nation to speak as one voice.”
That comment by the then future President is probably the only time in David Plouffe’s entire career that he tried to attribute anything good to George W. Bush. He is a pathetic political hack. But I notice he didn’t mention the pathetic response by Bill Clinton on the bombing of the U.S.S. Cole:
“If, as it now appears, this was an act of terrorism, it was a despicable and cowardly act. We will find out who was responsible and hold them accountable”.
This is the next day after the bombing. IF it was an act of terrorism? IF? Never mind that that was Clinton’s one, and only, statement on the Cole. Perhaps he was afraid that his Arab puppet masters would pull their funding for his presidential library.
Yes, Mr. Plouffe, it was an act of terrorism against the U.S.S. Cole, and in the three months remaining in Bill Clinton’s presidency, Clinton did NOTHING to ” find out who was responsible and hold them accountable: just as those responsible for Benghazi still walk around freely, drinking mint tea at posh hotel outdoor cafes. Yes, we now know who was responsible, and not one person has been held accountable by the Obama administration although it seems there were a number of Muslims who “toured” the West Wing on the night of the Benghazi slaughter.
Anyone want to tell me when the White House started giving evening tours?
I think that Hillary refused to do the Sunday shows because she knew full well that the White House generated propaganda about “a video” was a lie that would eventually be proven as such. For her to go out and sell the WH lie would put her in a worse situation for her 2016 ambitions then the failure of her State department to provide increased security for the Ambassador would. The White House has continued to try to pass the buck of responsibility wholly on the back of the State Department and Intelligence agencies and to pretend innocence.
The incriminating email is a smoking gun (on par with the Nixon tapes,) that totally busts any claim of plausible deniability by the White House.
