WH Spinners Zeroed in on Video as Cause of Benghazi

A newly released internal White House email, obtained by Judicial Watch, shows that White House communications officials were instructed to highlight the role of an anti-Muslim video in spurring the Sept. 11, 2014 Benghazi attacks in order to ensure President Obama avoided any blame.

While the email does not prove that White House officials knew the video was ultimately not the precipitator and that the incidents were a terrorist attack that resulted in the deaths of four Americans, it does show Obama aides had a motive for emphasizing the video over other possible causes.

Nevertheless, State Department official Gregory Hicks, who was on the ground at the time in Libya, said it was clear over there that the video played no role. And the email, from White House national security spokesman Ben Rhodes, was sent Sept. 14, after State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland suggested the assault was planned, calling it “clearly a complex attack.”

Am I missing something here?

In the past, a scandal like this would have toppled the presidency...Nixon resigned, and nobody died...with this abomination, we have 4 dead Americans, and the mantra is "what does it matter"? These criminals ALL NEED TO GO, and not just out of office, many involved need prison. But since we have a half black president, nothing will happen, as too many are afraid of being called racist. Right is right, and wrong is VERY wrong here.

Obama does it because he knows no one will do anything about it.
He is corrupt and he does not care.
Same with the IRS and EPA targeting, using the Federal Government to ration political vendetta's. That's what totalitarian sociopaths do.
He is one of the best I've seen in history. (worst for you liberals)
