ABC News' Jonathan Karl hyped misleading accusations from Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) that the Obama administration obstructed investigations into Benghazi by not releasing an email showing the White House contacted YouTube with concerns about an anti-Islam video as the attacks unfolded. But the White House's contacts with YouTube were reported by ABC News mere days after the attacks and acknowledged by the White House.
In the days immediately following the attacks on U.S. diplomatic facilities in Benghazi, then-U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice and other members of the administration described the assault as developing from spontaneous protests against an anti-Islam video that had been posted on YouTube, which had inspired riots across the Muslim world.
That conclusion was consistent with the analysis of the intelligence community at the time. But because it was later revealed that there was no protest in Benghazi, conservatives led by Fox News have since claimed the Obama administration engaged in a deliberate effort to deceive the American people about the cause of the attacks.
my hope is that with this all out attack by right wing to pin their tale on the head donkey just forces a re look at their accusations as they apply to 911 and the beginning of the republican bringing u to recession, misleading the American people really have they forgotten Bush/Cheyney i'll say it again theydo the dirt and try to sweep it on Pres.'s shoes.
Karl also misleads about the timing of the email. He reports that the State Department email was sent at 9:11 p.m. ET, "hours before the attack was over" and quoted Issa claiming that the email is significant because it shows "the White House had hurried to settle on a false narrative -- one at odds with the conclusions reached by those on the ground -- before Americans were even out of harm's way."
But what Issa and Karl both ignored was that there were two different short attacks on the diplomatic facilities in Benghazi, separated by several hours. According to the Pentagon's timeline, the first assault began at 9:42 p.m. Benghazi time, or 3:42 p.m. ET. It was over by 5:30 p.m. ET, many hours before the State Department email referencing communications with YouTube. The second assault did not begin until 5:15 a.m. in Benghazi the next day -- 11:15 p.m.* in D.C., hours after the email was sent.
so why hasn't this info been put out before think of how much time and money it would have saved maybe even the millions Issa has wasted looking for nothing, nah he still would have gone for it he knew just "MISLED THE AMERICAN PEOPLE". again guilty of their own accusation of this admin.
