doing. she writes of course that s not what i said. nothing could be further from the truth and many of those trying to make hay of it know that but don t care. but the political battle over benghazi is far from over. house republicans have formed a select committee to investigate yet again the obama administration s response. but it is clear to me, and it has been clear, that the american people have not been told the truth about benghazi, and we re committed to getting and this is a very carefully coordinated book rollout for hillary clinton. democratic surrogates who support both hillary clinton and president obama were at the white house this week meeting with top aides to the president. and those top aides i m told by a source made it clear that they want it to be very out there that there is no daylight between the president and hillary clinton on foreign policy as this book is rolled out, wolf. all right. brianna, don t go too far away. i d like you to be here. i want
as well as this book rollout she d be finishing up her second term in the white house. she s operated on all cylinders right now. governor, let me ask you. when you hear clinton say, as she did, to gop lawmakers, many of these same people are a broken record sorry, regarding the republican inquisition on benghazi. many of these same people are a broken record about unanswered questions but there s a difference between unanswered questions and unlistened to answers. who do you think she s talking to when she says that? is she talking to republicans or is she talking to sort of john could y john coup public. i think they should have had the answers by they in they were going to get them. she s talking to lindsey graham who went on with a discredited reporter and said the discredited reporter proved certain facts about benghazi after she had been discredited.
participate in that. i will say, don, when you look at the timing of this release that it might actually work to her benefit, really trying to dispense with this topic of benghazi now so that when her book is rolled out, remember it s not officially coming out for another week and a half, that she can focus on other things during the book tour, that maybe some of this benghazi stuff will kind of be old news. it s really here is the statement, those who exploit this tragedy over and over as a political tool minimize the sam fis of those who served our country, really hitting on republicans there. i will say, don, this is a very carefully orchestrated book rollout. it s pretty fascinating as you watch it. hillary clinton has been meeting with foreign policy thought leaders, one of her top aides briefing a wide swath of democrats here in washington, d.c. this morning. her team coordinating messages and what s a campaign style sur gan operation. there s a lot going on here.
we ve learned that hillary clinton s team has brought on kiki mcclane, who is a longtime aide to both the clintons, to do a surrogate operation. so democrats who were talking about the book to make sure they were all on the same page. also, this is intriguing, a spokesman for the security counsel, who was at the white house during the time when beb gaez happened. he s obviously very well versed in that. he ll be doing a lot of the messaging around the book rollout. there s also a war room. there are former diplomat, we ve learned from a source who will be ready and able to respond to criticisms of hillary clinton s state department tenure. this is really significant. polls show that voters really think this is a plus for her, her time at the state department. it s one of the reasons why republicans are trying to tarnish that. a lot of us remember the war room in 1992 in the bill clinton campaign for president in little rock, arkansas, when james carville, paul begala, george
going to be covering hillary clinton from the washington post. how the clinton people are now parcelling out and now today the biggest get of her new book hard choices, which is the benghazi chapter. and this is really pretty stunning example of how they are trying to frame the debate and preempt the debate but there can t be a better indication that she is in fact running for president than putting out the benghazi chapter in advance. absolutely. if there was any doubt in anyone s mind that the book rollout is related to a likely presidential run, this is all the proof you need. anyone associated with clinton and potential run knows that benghazi is, if not her biggest weakness, certainly among those that she s going to be hit with the hardest by republicans. and so they are giving democrats a playbook, a script for how to counter republican attacks over
