Off Benghazi News Today

Thats good. you guys, im sorry. >> i thought he handled that well. how did the umbrellas become a point of debate? people like sarah palin who tweeted, "mr. president, when it rains, it pours, but most americans hold their own umbrellas." apparently palin doesnt always put herself in that most americans category. lets flash back to a drizzly day in 2008 when palin was the republican candidate for vice president. here she is exiting a plane, but thanks to that guy in front of her, shes not gettin...

General -- they have so many layers -- when the flak comes back, they say, president obama didnt know about it. meanwhile, theres no way in the world when all this stuff is breaking in benghazi or breaking with the irs or breaking with the a.p. that somebody doesnt say, hey, mr. president, this is big and you want to know about it. >> the point is now the president of the united states does have to have the buck stop where it is, on his desk. and he has to answer these things. its as simple as t...

>> judge judy. >> somebody like a fran townsend, she is a former prosecutor. she worked at the fbi. shes homeland security council adviser. lots of credibility. >> and we could get one for benghazi and maybe even the a.p. >> maybe a three-fer, right? dont you think at 6:00 youre going to hear the president be very outraged? hes going to be so outraged. i cant believe this happened. the tea party, i had no clue this was happening. i found out when you found out. im just like you. >> that is the m...

Two things, greg said that obama was genius and then went on to say pejoratively whatever it was. but he is very good at coming out of these things. i would not count him out. i think this guy is a fantastic communicator. he hasnt communicated what he needs to communicate. but on benghazi, i think it is getting -- i understand four people died. i dont think its a big scandal there. on the a.p., the a.p. ought to be brought in front of the justice department for breaking the espionage act for lea...

Room to say the obama irs targeted liberals. but theyve been governing inside a moon bounce for the last five years. they were so protected from everything. but i have to tell you something, i think the media dropped the ball on this. but dont be fooled. by next week, theyll all be coming back around and trying to help and say, oh, how responsible, they called for a commission and everythings going to be fine. and there was no there there. i guarantee it, by tuesday. >> it is a little bizarre to...

They get a little taste of what weve been talking about for a long time. heres the problem. president obama has a chicago-style ring around him. valerie jarrett, eric holder, jack lew, jay carney. they lock arms and form a ring around president obama so even if he is calling the shots from within the ring, that ring is shielding him as the blowback comes back to him. but theres a way to break the ring. remind people about all these scandals. we have to stay on it. benghazi is huge. we have to st...

Past scandals have refused -- and you said invoked executive privilege before. we havent reviewed the e-mails. but are we getting the full story from them? >> i actually agree with a lot of the restrictions on releasing documents that go to the president. i think there is a reason that the executive privilege exists. but do you think that they are at risk of setting a precedent here by having leaked selective parts of e-mails to try to make their story look better? do you think they had too much...

They lied to us, not just president obama, hillary clinton, jay carney, susan rice -- >> give me one incident in which hillary clinton lied. >> her conversation with gregory hicks, when they didnt talk about that when she was under. >> did she tell a lie or not? >> yes. she did, jay carney, they all did. >> thats absurd. >> oh, but when democrats use it, its okay. >> is this the white house, saying this is how were going to put this fire out? >> having only known about this for about 25 minutes ...

For 237 years, thats been the understanding. as of last september, that can no longer be said for the first time in our history. >> you at least try. >> yeah. >> do we even really need to see the e-mails? lets take the e-mails off the table because we dont have all the information here. what do we know? we know that ambassador stevens spoke to gregory hicks and gregory hicks spoke to hillary clinton. with e know that intelligence agency officials on the ground in benghazi, libya, that night said...

Can we blame them for reporting? >> i would never blame the media for anything. its true. what were seeing is a therapy session. kind of an intervention for all the media. they didnt break the irs story. the story came to them. i have no sympathy for them now that theyve seen their golden hero fall apart. i will say this, president obama is a genius. he said that he wanted to end hyperpartisanship. he did, through his detached corruption, these united factions as desperate as the tea party and t...
