[President of Judicial Watch]Tom Fitton said the documents that keep piling up "show the Obama White House was behind the big lie, first promoted by Hillary Clinton, that an Internet video caused the Benghazi terrorist attack."
"Top White House aide Ben Rhodes, Hillary Clinton, and many key Obama officials pushed others to tie the Internet video to the attacks," he said.
"It is little wonder that Mrs. Clinton and the entire Obama administration have fought so hard to keep these documents from the American people. All evidence now points to Hillary Clinton, with the approval of the White House, as being the source of the Internet video lie."
It was a lie that bloomed into a conspiracy. The new documents released to Judicial Watch show "the Obama administration engaged domestic and foreign Islamist groups and foreign nationals to push the Internet video narrative."
It appears the White House even successfully recruited the Turkish government, or at least Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, to help spread the lie.
Another email, says Judicial Watch, "evidently from the Office of the Secretary of Defense" and sent to National Security Council spokesperson Bernadette Meehan and other top White House officials, "shows that the administration took no action to deploy military assets almost five hours after the attack began."
This corroborates early and continued speculation that the men were left on their own to die.
Why would the administration want to spin this tragic incident in such a way? Why did it want to, in the words of White House operative Rhodes, "underscore that these protests are rooted in an Internet video"?
Because, as Rhodes said, it did not want to admit the attack was part of "broader failure of policy."
The administration knew the Benghazi attack was a terrorist act, but it couldn't dare admit it because that would call into question the Obama policy and expose as a lie the president's claim that Libya was a success.
