White House Contacted YouTube During Benghazi Attack, Darrell Issa Says

A still-classified State Department e-mail says that one of the first responses from the White House to the Benghazi attack was to contact YouTube to warn of the "ramifications" of allowing the posting of an anti-Islamic video, according to Rep. Darrell Issa, the Republican chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.

The memo suggests that even as the attack was still underway - and before the CIA began the process of compiling talking points on its analysis of what happened - the White House believed it was in retaliation for a controversial video.

It would appear that the White House was aware of this video before these attacks even began. I'm not sure what this means in the greater scheme of things. Anyone care to weigh in?
 
Re: White House Contacted Youtube DURING Benghazi Attack.

There were pleas for extra securlity at the compound for days before the attack....hummmm.

All this means is for whatever they were doing over there, they had a predetermined excuse.
 
Re: White House Contacted Youtube DURING Benghazi Attack.

It was really popular before Benghazi. There's no conspiracy here, lol.
 
Re: White House Contacted Youtube DURING Benghazi Attack.

BTW: Has anyone watched the video/movie? It's a comedy.
 
Re: White House Contacted Youtube DURING Benghazi Attack.

Issa's got a point - he claims the WH settled on a narrative before the attack was even over... Issa's hinting that blaming the video was planned while the attack was still occurring ---- without an investigation, without more information like this WH has shown to prefer. It's curious but as a piece of information I don't have enough context to know what if anything it means.

I think that helps to prove that the WH really did believe the video had something to do with the attacks...just like they said. And according to the CIA the video could still be the reason for the attack. So until they catch those responsible for the attacks....no one, not even Issa with all his ridiculous wasteful hearings and investigations can say what the motive for the attack was.

And what do you offer to base that on?

How popular and with whom?

In fact, the video had had like a hundred and some hits before the White House went ape **** on it.

Please, while denying there's any scandal, it is helpful to stick to the facts. The reason this "non-scandal" is hanging on exactly like Watergate, is that also like Watergate,m every statement from the White Out House is a lie and every post from it's defenders is bull****.

When you start substantiating what you claim, when there are no more revelations, such as the White House alerting You Tube, then I will start to wonder if there really is anything.

So far, Obama and guys like you keep re-enforcing my suspicion that Barrack Hussein Obama is in this up to his little pen and his phone and has blood on his hands. You guys are even worse than the lying Nixon supporters who claimed for months "Watergate is just a Democrat fiction."

Question, there is an attack underway on US soil, a consulate, four Americans lives are in peril and it is the anniversary of the worst terrorist attack in the nation's history...

and the White House first response is to call You Tube.......


I would suggest that a good leader, a good president who cared about his country more than his reputation might have had other priorities than social media

Lmao, I explicitly remember hearing about it on the news shortly before Benghazi, death threats and stuff were occurring. It went viral fast.

Link?

I heard nothing of the sort, saw nothing, the first report of "death threats" came out of the White House two days later.

Link or close the pie hole, too many have come before you with bull**** claims about this.

From the article-
Issa has an entirely different view. He contends the document contradicts the White House assertion that it was the CIA who first pinned blame for the attack on protests in response to the anti-Islamic video.

More evidence of the white houses ineptitude. Nothing can ameliorate it.

Which is related to something supposedly not being a conspiracy how?

It proves they were calculating political spin rather than trying to deploy a relief force. It proves what disgusting low-lifes make up this administration.

The false video narrative started in Cairo and Obama and Hillary tried to blame that RIOT on the video.

They even had some Cairo embassy employee release a statement during the siege that more or less offered a up front apology for the video.

Of-Course the Cairo attack had nothing to do with the video.

The Obama administration thought they could convince Americans that the Cairo attack was over a obsure video no one had seen.

They then extended the false video narrative over to Benghazi, as Hillary Clinton released a statement before the Benghazi attack was even over blaming the video.

Hillary apparently was more concerned with perpetuating a lie than finding and protecting the occupants of the Benghazi compound.

The video narrative didn't come from the CIA, nor did the narrative of a "protest" come from the CIA.

The Obama administration in a attempt to protect a re-election narrative of having Al Qaeda on the run shamelessly lied their asses off.
 
Re: White House Contacted Youtube DURING Benghazi Attack.

No, no it wasn't at all "popular".

Our State Departments mentioned the video while our Cairo Embassy was under attack. A embassy employee released a press statement apologizing for a video.

But the Cairo RIOT wasn't over a video, it was caused by Jihadist who were advocating for the Blind Shieks release.

And the State Dept knew that because jihadist had threatened to attack the Cairo embassy weeks before Sept11.

Then, before the Benghazi attack was even over, before our State Department knew where our Ambassador was or whether he was even alive, Hillary Clinton released a statement blaming THAT attack on a video.

Hillary and Obama's priorities were to manufactre a false narrative, a huge lie because the truth would have been Politically inconvenient.

The Obama administration blames all of this on the CIA....LOL !!

The video only became "Really popular " when the American media publicized it.

That created even more riots and " protest ".

You've got to stop being so gullible, unless you like being lied to byblow life Politicians.

Because they've been lying to you for 20 Months now.

IIRC Libya didn't even have access to Egypts youtube.

This is just another part of this scandal that will need to be investigated.
 
Re: White House Contacted Youtube DURING Benghazi Attack.

This new info kind of kills their claim that the video was blamed based on CIA talking points, since the CIA hadn't at that point concluded a damned thing.

Well, that's the silver about an administration that is both false and incompetent - they make it pretty easy to identify both traits.
 
Re: White House Contacted Youtube DURING Benghazi Attack.

You would vote for that incompetent boob if you could.

Depends, if he was running up against dumber than a fly republican potential candidate Chris Christie I would vote for him.
