Smoking Gun: Susan Rice WAS sent out - just 8 weeks before the 2012 elections - to underscore the notion that Benghazi was not the fault of "a broader failure of [Obama] policy."

If this email is not the "smoking gun,"  forcing rational minds to the obvious conclusion that the WH policy,  as to Benghazi,  was all about crisis management with no concern for those killed or the truth of the slaughter.  A question that you will hear,  over and over,  again,  in the coming days,  is this:  "Why was this email redacted when first submitted to Congress?  Why did it take a lawsuit filed by Judicial Watch, to force this Administration into giving us the email as shown,  without whole sections blacked out (i.e. "redacted")?"

Carney was asked this question as he tried to manage the bad news of the morning.  

Carney's answer,  in today's press conference,  was to claim that the memo had nothing to do with Benghazi,  that somehow (in his feeble way of thinking), this allowed for the redactions.  Of course the memo was about Benghazi,  and,  reference to the video proves the point.   

Update:  The email excerpt (there are more than 20 paragraphs in this email) is taken from a larger email from Ben Rhodes,  a member of the National Security Council,  an agency reporting directing to the Administration.  This email,  takes the scandal and, its cover-up, into the WH.
