no one else was hurt, other than benghazi. so within the document itself, they are talking about reinforcing the view that we will go after those who harmed americans. the only people who were harmed, the four people killed were in benghazi. so that's just a bald-faced lie, that's insulting our intelligence, and it really is disrespectful to those who died in the line of duty to suggest this email they would not give us without a court order had nothing to do with the death of four americans. it had everything to do -- mr. mccain: i might add that all of the emails were supposed to be given to the congress in return for the confirmation of mr. brennan as head of the c.i.a. they didn't do that. mr. graham: no. the bottom line here is the goals set out in this email are to try to convince the american people seven weeks before an election we had done everything possible to protect our people and facilities, to underscore that the protests were rooted in an internet video and not a broader failure of policy. i'm here to tell you,

the other benghazi is #benghazi. #benghazi is the world of online conspiracy theories, twitter trolls, and facebook right wingers. #benghazi isn't a real place, where real people died horrible deaths. it's the alternate universe of endless conspiracy theorizing and propaganda that has sucked the entire right knee a paranoid vor decks. it's represented on the speaker's graphic by the fake breaking news banner that is there for no reason. this graphic and the speaker.gov. #benghazi is where you can find tweets about how hillary clinton has buckets of blood on her hands. the white house sends more personnel to the bundy ranch over cows than they did to benghazi. it's the place where people think that a white house communications adviser looking at white house talking points is the next watergate. #benghazi isn't just online, it's an entire industry, an entire imaginary realm. it's where, for instance, lindsey graham has actually been living for the past year. >> this is not a fox news story, this is an american story. i

ask me about benghazi, i'll talk about benghazi. obamacare, i'll be happy to talk about it. >> they didn't get a memo. we found an e-mail which is why we decided to talk about benghazi again. >> first of all, i think the e-mail vsz been completely explo exploited. there was a specific set of requests given to the white house specifically asking about susan rice and the state department. you guys got that in congress. a different organization asked a different question and got different documents. that's e-mail. there's no cover-up here. why to you guys exploit -- you have 25,000 dooms, you're going to make a whole thing over one e-mail? makes no sense at all. >> we don't know how many e-mails are out there. we have to phase it just right, determine what is is to get the right answer. if we don't ask you the exactly right question, somebody is going to say, we didn't have to give you that. if my children tried to tell me that, i'd say, you knew what i wanted, you with heheld that information, you're in trouble, buddy. dealing with ou

benghazi, benghazi. >> benghazi. >> benghazi. >> the republicans want to make it a political issue. >> this is a scandal without a center. >> how many more taxpayer dollars are we going to spend try to prove a political point? >> benghazi. >> benghazi. >> president obama this afternoon had his hands full with the full-blown international crisis. hosting german chancellor angela merkel at the white house to discuss a major escalation in ukraine. today saw the heaviest fighting in that country since a pro-russian uprising a month ago with at least 31 killed during clashes between pro-russian demonstrators and ukrainian government supporters. but if you are a republican in congress, the crisis is not in ukraine. no, the crisis at hand is the administration's response to the 2012 attack in benghazi. today, we witnessed a full-blown outbreak of benghazi fever. this morning, the chairman of the house oversight and government reform committee darrell issa, a man who has made quite a name for himself in the world of scandal mongering. subpoenaed the secretary of state john kerry because, be

there were legitimate oversight questions about benghazi. and we explored them in exhaustive detail. more than 25,000 documents have been produced and dozens of witnesses have been interviewed. millions of tax dollars have already been spent responding to repetitive and partisan congressional requests. the majority has alleged multiple conspiracy theories, each of which has been dispeled by the facts. -- dispeled by the facts. ambassador chris stephens, tyrone woods and glen dougherty are american hero who gave their lives in brave service to our nation but instead of honoring their memory, even before it convene this is sham select committee, it's already being used for blatantly political purposes. evidence of that comes directly from the congressional republican campaign committee which created an online fundraising solicitation esterday and it reads in part, you're now a benghazi watchdog. let's go after obama and hillary clinton, help us fight them now. so this is not about discovering new facts about benghazi. this is about creating a

investigation of benghazi to a new level. the change of heart coming after the state department turned over an email from white house aide ben rhodes. obama administration is so intent on obstructing the truth about benghazi, that it is even willing to defy subpoenas issue by the standing committees of the people's house. investigate the atark provide necessary accountability and ensure justice is finally serve and it forces us to ask the question what else about the benghazi is the obama administration still hiding from the american people? republican darrell issa issued a subpoena for secretary of state john kerry to testify on may 21st about whether his department has other relevant documents that have not been turned over. kerry already has plans to be in mexico that day and fired back republicans are wasting time reinvestigating old ground. >> i am confident that what the republicans allege that there was some attempt by this administration to cover-up or spin what happened is 100% false. >> one area of inqi qirry for th

i think it was yesterday pelosi saying benghazi, benghazi, benghazi. you held the position that susan rice held when she told the world that the benghazi massacre was a result of a video. how is a prep session conducted? how does it work? when you were there in the same position? >> well, i didn't do prep sessions because i was never asked to speak to an issue that was completely outside my jurisdiction. look, being a u.n. ambassador is a fine job. susan rice had absolutely nothing to do with benghazi. i think she was selected to go on the five sunday talk shows because by definition, she couldn't make a mistake since she didn't know anything, she couldn't reveal anything that she shouldn't have. this really poses, i think, a critical point. where was secretary of state hillary clinton on those five talk shows? this was her post that was attacked, her people who were killed. she was out there issuing a press release while the attack was going on, blaming it on the video. she was there at andrews air force base when the remains were brought back, blamin

benghazi, benghazi, benghazi. why aren't we talking about something else? whatever was in that -- what i know is what i've read in the press about the -- the e-mails were very consistent with what was put out there before. i don't think there is anything new there. >> all right. here with reaction to this unbelievable insensitivity is someone who definitely does care about what happened two years ago. that's the father of ty woods. he was a hero that day on september 11th, 2012. he saved a lot of people's lives, and he was killed for his efforts. charles woods, the father of ty. thanks for being back on the program. what is your reaction to "dude, that's like two years ago," and nancy pelosi's comments? what is your reaction to that? >> first of all, sean, i want to thank you for not allowing the benghazi betrayal to be swept under the rug. the good news is what we heard this morning and that is there's going to be a select committee. and that is an answer to prayer. the people of the united states, as well as the families need to know what actually happene

. >> diversion subterfuge, benghazi, benghazi, benghazi. why aren't we talking about something else? what i know of what i've read in the press about the e-mails were very consistent with what was put out there before. i don't think there's anything new there. >> and you say what to that? >> she should read the e-mails. they can go to judicialwatch.org and read them. the subterfuge obviously is coming from the white house, jay carney and for nancy pelosi as a member of congress to treat as a non-issue congress' investigation being thwarted and obstructed is really terrible. the problem here in washington, if it's your party scandal, you defend it to the hilt. and that's the reason you need groups like judicial watch and independent news like fox news that call it how you see it no matter the implications for parties. and nancy pelosi and honest democrats need to say to president obama and the obama administration, own up, release all the info and stop messing with us. >> so what do you make of the speaker of the house in that breaking devel

happenedind out what before, during, and after benghazi. another tweet from the right is wrong, the gop has chosen the path of a pandering to their base. the house to come back in and about 25 minutes or so. the vote will be one of the votes in that series. while we wait for the house to return, we will show you the floor debate from earlier in the day. since terrorists attacked the american diplomatic mission in killing four a, americans, including then u.s. ambassador to libya, jay christopher stevens. since that time the house armed services committee, the foreign affairs committee, the permanent select committee on intelligence and the committee on oversight and government reform have all conducted investigations related to the events surrounding the attack and the administration's response. and i want to commend each of these committees and their chairmen and their members for work that has been done that is exemplary, that has aimed exactly on the questions that needed to be asked and for those who have dedicated time and effort to ma

four page memo are about benghazi. but those two sentences are exactly what the cia talking points said. and that's exactly what susan rice. >> no, because the cia had never talked about the video. >> well, what the sea cia said that the protests were based on protests in cairo which is what the ambassador said. those protests in cairo were inspired by the video. and that's exactly what the ambassador said. that's exactly what the intelligence committee community believed at the tile. that's what general petraeus briefed us on. that's what was thought at that time. so you can take issue with what the intelligence community did. there is nothing that contradicts that in the rhodes memo. >> jay carney says the same thing you heard from adam schiff senator ayotte which is this memo which does mention benghazi and talks about americans being harmed is not about benghazi. take a look. >> i can say again and again, and i know you can keep asking again and again, this document was not about benghazi. >> senator ayotte, do you

one, of course he was including the benghazi one. there was not a protest or a demonstration. the video was irrelevant. this was a way to tell her to tell the nation a story about a video that would in essence politically exonerate the president six weeks before an election. >> this stirred this all up again. >> stirred it all up again. i think it did give the story a new set of legs. and i think that even if nothing else comes out between now and 2016 this will be an issue in the 2016 race if hillary clinton runs. >> it is interesting, hillary clinton puts out, steve, as secretary of state, shortly after 10:00 p.m., the first statement about benghazi. we have learned about benghazi. now she puts out a statement. we're focused on this e-mail now. but that was the first time the video really came up and tied to benghazi. >> it was, and she later brought it up at the rival ceremony when the caskets came back from libya. look, i think there are still real questions about what hillary clinton's involvement was and who actually conceived

two more years of gridlock in bengha benghazi. the debate starts right now. >> tonight on "crossfire," scandal weakened the house. republicans pushed through a special committee on benghazi. >> this is a serious investigation. >> serious investigation? or serious politics? >> i do not believe there is any reason for it to continue in this way, but they get to call the shots. >>> on the left, howard dean. on the right, newt gingrich. in the "crossfire," representative hjavier becerra. and representative aaron schock, an illinois republican. were there cover-ups? are republicans on a witch hunt? tonight on "crossfire." >>> welcome to "crossfire." i'm howard dean on the left. >> i'm newt gingrich on the right. in the "crossfire" tonight, two members of congress. breaking news, just moments ago, the house approved a special committee to investigate the benghazi terror attack and the obama administration's ensng cover-up. this is a dangerous moment for former secretary of state hillary clinton. she's now facing more questions than ever

the e-mail was released to judicial watch which was for benghazi documents. it was released to capitol hill after a subpoena was issued. >> the oversit committee ask--o site committee asked for e-mails about benghazi they gave us the video. susan rice connected it to benghazi carney denied it saying she used the best intelligence. >> she was prepared as members of congress based on what they produced to talk about benghazi. >> that conflicts with the talking point. >> michael morrell recently testified it was rice who made the connection. they explained what happened. >> when she talked about the video my reaction was that is not something the analyst had attributed this attack to. >> there are new allegations and other documents are being delayed, blocked or unnecessarily redacted. >> now they are trying to say oh no these should be classified. >> the white house press corps skepticism of carney's effort explained the road's e-mail in this exchange with abc news. >> i know you can keep asking again and again, this document was not about benghazi. >> she reli

[inaudible] on benghazi. i think senator boxer cam on the floor this morning to talk about the investigations and all the things that have been done to find out about what happened in and gusty, number one, to those serving today. you are definitely in our thoughts and prayers, and my advice to the demonstration is, get those votes out as quick as you can because this thing is going downhill quickly. i feel like the security environment and lived -- libya is deteriorating as i speak. let me, if i can, set the stage for my concerns. one, i think most people on this side of the aisle, right or wrong, believe that the names were changed. this whole attitude toward finding out what happened in benghazi would be different. in the bush administration secretary rice, we would be really on fire as a nation to find out how the president could have said two weeks after the attack, mention the video as the cause of the attack. all the information coming from the intelligence community to the white house and others, ther

even though it was titled "benghazi." and in the body of it, it talked about how the united states would avenge the deaths of the americans in libya. the only americans who died in libya were at the embassy. and so clearly it was about benghazi. the judicial watch, the organization that sued to get the documents, they only were asking the federal government for documents regarding benghazi. so for him today to say once again, oh, i'm telling you, it wasn't about benghazi, that is -- we need a lie detector on that guy. >> oh, my goodness. you know what? let's talk about legality with you, kimberly, because if what steve is indicating is true, and it would seem that it would be, why would they have given that particular document? clearly, a foia request is looking for a certain thing. you understand it, you turn it over. was that a mistake since they gave these e-mails? >> yeah, no. it just shows -- and let me put this in a nice way -- they have a loose relationship with the truth. and even though it's right there in black

no one else was hurt, other than benghazi. so within the document itself, they are talking about reinforcing the view that we will go after those who harmed americans. the only people who were harmed, the four people killed were in benghazi. so that's just a bald-faced lie, that's insulting our intelligence, and it really is disrespectful to those who died in the line of duty to suggest this email they would not give us without a court order had nothing to do with the death of four americans. it had everything to do -- mr. mccain: i might add that all of the emails were supposed to be given to the congress in return for the confirmation of mr. brennan as head of the c.i.a. they didn't do that. mr. graham: no. the bottom line here is the goals set out in this email are to try to convince the american people seven weeks before an election we had done everything possible to protect our people and facilities, to underscore that the protests were rooted in an internet video and not a broader failure of policy. i'm here to tell you,

same thing with benghazi. with benghazi, you have a special house committee that's going to get to the bottom of this. this is huge. how could they spend 47 seconds on benghazi but over 12 minutes on that silly correspondence dinner. >> that's unbelievable. is that the nightly newscast as opposed to the morning shows? >> this is morning and evening. megyn, this is the kind of thing that if this were a republican, they would be breaking into programs. it would be live coverage four men died in mbenghazi. this is big, and they don't cover it. the irs scandal is big. democrats joined republicans. they understand this is bipartisan. still no coverage. >> wow, the numbers tell the story. brent, good to see you. >> thank you, megyn. >>> coming up, an award winning journalist who covered some of the hottest conflict s around the world finds herself under attack. lara logan and what is behind the ugly new effort to get her fired. plus. >> you won't call things the way they actually exist. >> harry reid accusing the me

lou: good evening, major new development in the benghazi scandal. white house in full denial an incriminating e-mail written by senior advise roh advisor ben rd anything to do with benghazi, new obama strategy, refuse to answer questions, and devastating testimony from the top military commander to the ground, contradicting the white house story of what and when they knew it. we begin at white house, correspondents went after press secretary jay carney trying to get him to answer why the ben rhodes e-mail was released under a freedom of information act request for benghazi documents if as the white house claim its had nothing to do with benghazi, carney at seems looked haunted, and hunted and hounded and refuseed to answer that question. and referred correspondents to the state department, that is a mark of carney's confusion that e-mail originateed in the white house not the state department. >> you have to ask the state department about how they responded to the requests. you have to ask the state department about their process for stoppeding ting

. >> not about benghazi, why turn it over in a benghazi suit? >> you would have to ask state department about their process for responding to foia requests. again, -- you you can just read it and then decide for yourself as many people have now said and written like this is a conspiracy theory -- >> group comes in and says we want benghazi documents. the administration says this is not a benghazi document so we are not turning it over. >> i don't know. like this is a state department foia requests. >> on 9/12 you were asked about benghazi and whether it's premeditated you said it's quote too early for us to make that judgment. i know this is being investigated. we are working with the libyan government to investigate the incident. you were being cautious, investigation here. that's 9/12. enwoo why then on 9/14 is ben rhodes writing email that is making judgments this was inspired by a video why is it that we just don't know we. >> do you need a copy of the cia talking points? read them out. >> only thing that refers to benghazi is the cut and pa

let me make a couple of comments on benghazi. i know something about this, and the day after the susan rice appearances, i -- or the day after the event i was meeting with some senior intelligence committee folks because i still advise in some capacities on boards to some of our agencies, and i think there was legitimate confusion. i agree about the point that the video was in egypt, and nobody really knew what the facts were, but i'm reading from the ben rhodes memo, which i have never seen before, and it said we're not aware of any actionable intelligence indicating that an attack on the u.s. mission in benghazi was planned or imminent, and i think that was accurate. >> because we didn't have actionable intelligence about 9/11. that doesn't mean it didn't happen. >> no, it doesn't mean it didn't happen. >> it doesn't mean it wasn't a terror attack. >> by the way, this was an intelligence failure, but it wasn't a conspiracy, and there aren't aliens in area 51 and vince foster wasn't murdered. it's time to move on and focus and o

he said something just the day after the attacks on benghazi. listen to the man that had "cbs news" even as his own network has not acknowledged what occurred or the order in which it did occur. listen, if you will. >> several things, not just reaction to what some felt, but a coordinated effort on the 9/11 anniversary. lou: there you have it, the brother of ben rhodes announcing it is not just a mob reaction to a video and then laid out what he expected to be very tense number of days to follow. what is your reaction? are we looking at a prospect of a broad conspiracy here to just suffocate the truth on benghazi? >> if you look at major general, he came forward and told us about that we knew things were coming, we wanted to have a lesser footprint in libya, we did not allow extra security coming forward and we knew the consulate would be attacked, it was 9/11. this is shameful we saw a man die and did nothing. we covered it up afterwards for political gains with the jurisdiction felony. lou: a lot of work ahead, do you know whether you will be

benghazi, benghazi, benghazi. whyerant we talking about something else? >> benghazi is a corpse. they tried to rouse it today, and it fell right back down. >> so the democratic excuse making begins, as evidence pointed to a white house benghazi cover-up mounts, will the main stream media help the left downplay the story? we'll tell you. >> i hope jeb runs. i think he would be a great president. >> does likely presidential contender jeb bush have what it takes to topple democratic darling hillary clinton

it's benghazi. all kinds of good stuff going on. but it is benghazi. john, your reaction to the outbreak of benghazi fever? >> the only way they can exploit the deaths more would be to fire benghazi t-shirts out of one of those t-shirt guns at the hearings. we went from using a terror attack in 2001 to cheer on a president to using a terror attack in 2012 to smear on a president. they exploded 3,000 terror dead to attack iraq and now they exploit 4 terror dead to attack barack. remember the quaint days of united we stand? this is all about one thing. it's not about a cover-up. if they cared about a cover-up, oliver north would be breaking rocks in a federal prison right now. this is about 2014. the gop has no ideas s so they got to get the base out. the democrats are taking this like a real pinata. they keep getting pummeled on this. the democrats need to turn this around and call these guys out for what they're really doing, a crass exploitation of four tragic deaths for a really disgusting political gain. >> what role does right wing talk radio play?

of course it was about benghazi. i think that has woken up the white house press corps in a way none of these other kerfuffles has when it comes to been gosy. here is what charm -- here is wt charles krauthammer said. >> it's the equivalent of what was discovered with the nixon tapes. republicans have done a terrible job of building the case. the questioning was disjoinltsd. it was not organized. if they had appointed a special committee a long time ago the way it was done in watergate, you would have had answers on this and the country would be fired. >> i agree this make it a much bigger deal. the revelations we had this week he elucidate couple of things. one it was produced by the intelligence community that was edited with heavy input from the white house, the state department and others, and ultimately it was produced for capitol hill. on the other hand you have the second celt of talking points produced by the white house for susan rice that placed heavy emphasis on the video. that's where you see an emerging

if that is not talking about benghazi, where else did we have people harmed, other than benghazi? >> i thank the gentleman, and our goal is to bring people to justice, too. we now recognize the gentleman from texas for five minutes. >> thank you very much, mr. chairman, and general, i appreciate your service. i appreciate your being here today. in your testimony you talked about your training and natural impulse as a member of the american military is to run toward the gunfire. we have heard testimony today about what we should have done, and we are kind of unclear about what we could have done, and whether or not we have the forces that could have gotten there in time. i'm going to say we definitely should have tried. as an american citizen -- i'm not asking you to give away any secrets or speak -- as an american citizen, does it trouble you we cannot respond in a timely manner to threats to an american embassy in he were in the world? >> it is part of the reason i'm sitting here today, sir. >> thank you. let's talk a little bit about your role in the evening of the benghazi atta

a lawsuit involving benghazi? doesn't make sense. >> great question. ed, quick comment and a question. the comment, every college student in the country should watch every single press briefing put it up in their political science classes or whatever, whatever class. they need to see that because they need to see how the process works because they can judge for themselves whether they're jay carney or other spokespeople for the white house are telling the truth or not. here's the question. jay carney seemed annoyed with you, impatient, arrogant. help us out here. i think the american people watch him and go, does he understand he works for us? they all work for us? why does he treat us this way, especially when we believe half of the stuff coming out of his had mouth may be a lie? >> well, if you frame it that way, i think jay carney would probably respond, if you think most of what he's saying is a lie, then you're not giving him a fair shake. i try to sit in the chair every day or most every day if i'm here and

questions about benghazi remain unanswered. where was the president of the united states and hillary, what difference does it make, rodham clinton, the night all of this was going on? okay, i accept the fact maybe we couldn't get there in time, why not get there afterwards, pick up pieces, raise the american flag over that facility? jon: interesting too, the defense from jay carney is that, that, this email he says was not about benghazi. he says it was about all of the protests going on at that point in the middle east and yet the, the request the, the request from judicial watch, tammy, was for benghazi documents. so you know, that is what got this thing finally out. jay carney says it wasn't about benghazi. >> yeah, it's very strange now because it's one thing to try to spin the message, which of course is part of his job. this is politics. it's about trying to move your message but now we've moved into misomania. this is dynamic that you're denying someone apparent to everyone and it becomes very, very difficult. it is past

while nancy pelosi might say benghazi, benghazi, benghazi. the current speaker of the house, john boehner, yesterday said our investigation into the events of that september night is going to continue until this white house owns up to the truth and until these terrorists are brought to justice. >> right. you can run, but can't hide from the truth. >> i don't even know what's going on with that investigation. there was one question, i don't know what's going on, and next question. who did it? who perpetrated it. the "new york times" said the guy having a mimosa next week talk being it. >> why was the memo changed into a cover-up and why do we not have answers? we're going to stay on this. we're going to turn now to heather nauert. >> hi. good morning. other news to bring you. 36 minutes after the hour. i guess this guy just couldn't wait. a prisoner in oregon climbed a fence and escapes from prison six days before he was set to be released and it turns out he's not good at hiding. police found this convicted sex offender at a nearby jack in th

, specifically not benghazi. he doesn't reference that in the e-mail by the way, but she's going on the sunday shows just days after the attack. now, the key to this whole thing is that the deputy director of the cia at the time, mike morrell, in recent weeks testified on capitol hill. it was in the talking points. when she mentioned the video he testified on the hill, that caught him by surprise. because that was not in anything that the cia had produced. he said the video caught him by surprise. now, it's strange as we watched a lot of reporters today ask these questions to jay carney. abc, cbs, the new york times, pressing him on this for many, many months. jay carney has said they didn't have any guidance. one more thing. this e-mail was classified at first. it was classified, so it didn't go up to the hill originally. then it was declassified and put up there redacted, so they couldn't see who sent it and who received it. the judicial watch request was for benghazi e-mails or documents. nothing else. and the
