This post is based on two articles–one at Power Line<\/a> by John Hinderaker<\/a>, and one by Sharyl Attkisson<\/a> at sharylattkisson.com<\/a>.\u00a0 Both articles deal with the cover-up of what happened in Benghazi in September 2011.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

John Hinderaker at Power Line posted a picture of the memo that called for the misleading talking points:<\/p>\n

\"BenghaziMemo\"<\/a>There is a second memo\u00a0between Susan Rice<\/a> and Eric Pelofsky shown in the John Hinderaker article. This memo expresses concern over the fate of the ambassador.<\/p>\n

John Hinderaker observes:<\/p>\n

The other striking fact about the emails is the complete absence of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama<\/a>. Maybe someone was keeping them informed, but they are never mentioned in the emails (except when someone prepares a statement to be issued under their names). During the crucial hours, they are never referred to. There is no suggestion that they are playing a part; that they are in the loop; that they are making decisions; or that they are, in any way, important players. Maybe there are more emails, not yet disclosed, that would reflect their roles. Or maybe they really were ciphers\u2013seat warmers with no concerns beyond the political, not expected to do anything in an hour of crisis.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sharyl Attkisson reports:<\/p>\n

Rep. Jason Chaffetz<\/a> (R-Utah) told me today that the government apparently tried to keep the Rhodes email out of Congress and the public\u2019s hands by classifying it after-the-fact. <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThey retroactively changed the classification,\u201d Chaffetz says. \u201cThat was an unclassified document and they changed it to classified.\u201d \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0In the past month, the government has supplied 3,200 new Benghazi-related documents under Congressional subpoena. In some instances, Congressional members and their staff are only permitted to see the documents during certain time periods in a review room, and cannot remove them or make copies. <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0Chaffetz says that the State Department redacted more material on the copies provided to Congress than on those that it was forced to provide to JudicialWatch. <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0One of the most heavily-redacted email exchanges is entitled, \u201cFOX News<\/a>: US officials knew Libya attack was terrorism within 24 hours, sources confirm.\u201d The Fox News article was circulated among dozens of officials including Rhodes and then-Deputy National Security Advisor<\/a> Denis McDonough<\/a> but the content of their email discussion is hidden.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The White House lied about Benghazi and then covered up its lies. The lies were told for political purposes–it was the middle of an election campaign. This is an impeachable offense, but America does not have the stomach for impeachment right now. It would be a mistake for the Republicans to go down that road at all. However, an effort should be made to get this story into the mainstream media and make sure Americans are aware that they have been lied to and are still being lied to. The only reason we have these emails is the work of Judicial Watch.<\/a><\/p>\n
