DOJ Records Reveal Obama White House Effort to 'Evolve' Explanation of Benghazi Terrorist Attack

Judicial Watch announced today that the U.S. Department of Justice released 80 pages of records that show top Obama White House officials scrambling to "Evolve" its false claims that the September 11, 2012, terrorist attacks on U.S. Government facilities in Benghazi, Libya, began "Spontaneously" in response to an anti-Muslim video on the Internet.

The emails show top Obama White House official Ben Rhodes and Clinton State Department Deputy Chief of Staff Jake Sullivan joking about being called "Liars" and "Leakers."

The records were produced in response to a Judicial Watch 2016 Freedom of Information Act lawsuit.

Judicial Watch previously uncovered that on September 14 Rhodes and other Obama administration officials were attempting to orchestrate a campaign to "Reinforce" President Obama and to portray the Benghazi consulate terrorist attack as being "Rooted in an Internet video, and not a failure of policy." Also included were numerous emails sent during the assault on the Benghazi diplomatic facility.

As reported, the Benghazi compound came under attack and it took a bit of time for the 'Annex' colleagues and Libyan February 17 brigade to secure it.

"Joking about being called 'liars' after being caught lying about the Benghazi terrorist attack says a lot about the Obama-Clinton team's contempt for the rule of law and those four innocent Americans murdered in Libya September 11, 2012," stated Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.

"The documents also show that Ben Rhodes, the Obama White House official who created the false story for Susan Rice to use on Benghazi, was planning to orchestrate again an 'evolving' explanation about the Benghazi attack by the Intelligence Community in time for then-President Obama's reelection."
