OH, IT'S ON: Open Warfare Breaks Out Between the White House and the Clinton Clan
How else can one describe the escalating rhetoric bouncing between the State Department and the White House, each volley intended to duck blame for the Benghazi terror attack?
White House throws Hillary under the 2012 bus
The White House is throwing Hillary Clinton under the 2012 election bus... Top officials have already claimed the nation’s intelligence agencies did not alert the White House to the growing danger facing the State Department’s facility in Benghazi, Libya, which was destroyed Sept. 11 by a jihadi attack on the 11th anniversary of the atrocities in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania.
The claim was repeated Oct. 11 by Vice President Joe Biden during the vice presidential debate in Danville, Ky. “We weren’t told they wanted more security,” he announced. [And] Ben Rhodes, President Barack Obama’s deputy national security adviser for communications, extended the claim Oct. 11 by telling told Foreign Policy magazine that neither Biden nor President Barack Obama knew of the growing danger.
...“These kinds of issues are handling in the State Department by security officials,” White House spokesman Jay Carney said during Friday’s press briefing... Security matters “are decided at the State Department,” he said, amid tough questioning from Fox News Channel’s Ed Henry.
The White House’s statements leaves Hillary Clinton on the hook, because she runs the Department of State.
How are Bill and Hillary dealing with this sellout? Not well, according to bestselling author Ed Klein.
As Benghazi blame nears Hillary, Clintons grow furious
With tensions between President Obama and the Clintons at a new high, former President Bill Clinton is moving fast to develop a contingency plan for how his wife, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, should react if Obama attempts to tie the Benghazi fiasco around her neck, according to author Ed Klein...
...sources close to the Clintons tell him that Bill Clinton has assembled an informal legal team to discuss how the Secretary of State should deal with the issue of being blamed for not preventing the Benghazi terrorist attack last month.
White House spokesman Jay Carney told reporters during a press conference Friday that responsibility for the consulate in Libya fell on the State Department, not the White House...
If blame for the security failures falls to Hillary Clinton, Klein said, it’s possible that she would even consider resigning over the issue...
Klein also noted that the famously troubled Obama-Clinton relationship has "reached a new low" with Joe Biden's refusal to have Bill Clinton help guide the gaffe-master's debate strategy.
That thumping noise you heard was Hillary Clinton going under the bus.
