Benghazi documents newly obtained by Judicial Watch show that one of the administration’s primary communications goals soon after the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. consulate was “to underscore that these protests are rooted in an Internet video, and not a broader failure of policy.” [Emphasis added]

@redsteeze @rhodes44 @bfinstock I guess THAT'S what difference it makes!

The newly released documents were not included in the initial set of emails released by the White House last May. The new documents can be found on the Judicial Watch site.
Newly released Benghazi documents reinforce that White House was pushing that video was to blame http://t.co/11olDWyQue

@jaketapper The lead is that the emails show the video push was for political reasons. Why bury that?

How about "prove beyond a shadow of a doubt" or "remove any question" or "are a smoking gun"
Much more appropriate wording. @jaketapper— BonkPolitics (@BonkPolitics) April 29, 2014
"push". You spelled "bold-faced lie" wrong.@jaketapper

.@jaketapper @jtLOL You spelled lie wrong. Also, how about "be resolute in bringing people who harm Americans to justice" name one.

@jaketapper the way this story was buried is a sad statement about journalism. Used to go after scandals regardless of pol leaning. #scandal

@jaketapper too bad the media is the public relations arm of the WH these days. This info should not have taken you this long. #Shame
