Benghazi Cover-Up: The administration's tangled web of deceit now includes lying about prior lies as the White House press secretary tries to cover up its cover-up of why four Americans died in a terrorist attack.
Carney shamefully continued to insist that when then-U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice went on five Sunday talk shows days after the 2012 attack to offer an untrue story that Benghazi was the result of an inflammatory video, she was acting on the best intelligence offered by the intelligence community.
Carney said this knowing that Mike Morell, CIA deputy director two years ago, testified before Congress and said the video story did not come from CIA analysts.
As for the emails that showed the administration's motives for the story were political, to protect a president running for re-election and a secretary of state that wanted to be his successor, Carney offered his entry for 2014 Lie Of The Year: The emails obtained by the watchdog group Judicial Watch in a lawsuit specifically seeking Benghazi documents weren't really about Benghazi.
Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said in an interview on TheBlaze TV that the newly released emails bring questions about the slaughter "into the White House, and it shows that the idea that the CIA created the talking points that Susan Rice was using is a big fat lie."
In an argumentative exchange between Carney and ABC News' Jon Karl, Carney insisted that "if you look at the document in question here, it is not about Benghazi; it is about the protests around the Muslim world outside of U.S. embassies" and it was the general situation in the Middle East that Rice was being prepped for.
To his credit, Karl asked all the right questions in response to Carney's song and dance: "Why were you holding back this information? Why was this email not turned over to the Congress? Why was it not released when you released all the other emails?" and, of course, if what Carney was saying is true, why did it take a court case to get the unredacted email released?
Days before Rice's TV tour, four Americans were murdered in the terrorist attack — including the first U.S. ambassador killed in three decades. Now Carney would have us believe Rice was sent to five Sunday talk shows, all of which consented to give her the time, just to talk about the "general situation" in the Middle East?
Rice was sent to lie about Benghazi, and she was prepped by the White House to promote the false narrative of an inflammatory video as part of a pants-on-fire damage control effort.
As the emails said, her mission was to promote a lie agreed upon, "to underscore that these protests are rooted in an Internet video, and not a broader failure or policy."
It would be a lie that would be repeated by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and President Obama in the days and weeks after the attack, a lie told to the parents of the dead as they stood in front of their sons' caskets that were brought back from Benghazi.
Charles Woods, whose son Tyrone died in the massacre, told Fox News' Sean Hannity Wednesday night: "When I was approached by Hillary Clinton at the coming-home ceremony of the bodies at Andrews Air Force Base, and she said, 'We're going to go out, and we're going to prosecute that person that made the video,' I knew that she wasn't telling the truth, and I think the whole world knows that now."
Have they no shame?
