Backfire:
ABC, CNN, NBC call for White House to release Benghazi
emails
By John Nolte

UPDATE:
NBC's senior White House correspondent joined the chorus
Wednesday. On his MSNBC show, "The Daily Rundown," Chuck Todd looked
into the camera and said, "Attention White House: Release all the
emails." The headline has been updated to add NBC.
Assuming
they are the ones who leaked to CNN an email written by
Ben Rhoades (a Deputy National Security Advisor close to the
President), the
White House might have been too clever by half Tuesday. An act that was
obviously meant to pour water on the Benghazi fire started by an ABC
News
report, has only ended up being gasoline. Now both CNN and ABC have
joined
conservative media in calling for the White House to release all the
emails
surrounding the editing of the CIA talking points.
Friday,
in a bombshell report that blew the long-simmering Libya
scandal wide open and right into the arms of the mainstream media,
ABC's
Jonathan Karl reported that an email written by Rhoades specifically
mentioned
the State Department's concerns about the CIA talking points. Here is
how Karl
transcribed the Rhoades email:
We
must make sure that the talking points reflect all agency
equities, including those of the State Department, and we don’t want to
undermine the FBI investigation. We

will work through the talking points tomorrow morning at the Deputies
Committee
meeting.

important because it showed that the White House was backing State in
pushing
inconvenient facts out of the talking points. This included the fact
that
terrorists were behind the attack and that State had been negligent
when it came
to providing security for our diplomatic mission.
In
the end, as we now know, and apparently due to the prodding of
Hillary Clinton's right hand woman at State, Victoria Nuland, the
talking
points ended up being completely wrong, which resulted in the American
people
being misled by the Obama Administration, straight through to a speech
the
President gave at the United Nations almost two weeks after the attack.
Yesterday,
though, CNN's Jake Tapper received what he was told by
a source is the actual transcript of Rhoades' email, which reads this
way...
