The Sept 11th Oval Office Team During The Benghazi Slaughter – More on Lew, Donilon and McDonough….
HatTip for Research Assistance to “S” – The picture of President Obama, Vice-President Biden, Chief of Staff Jack Lew, National Security Advisor(s) Denis McDonough and Tom Donilon, has drawn quite a bit of attention. Not from the main stream media – but from independent-minded research bloggers and seekers of truth.
The backstory that began the research is HERE, and the ultimate unraveling of the riddle behind what was actually taking place is HERE. But the issues that surround the team pictured are larger and even more consequential.
First, as you consider Denis McDonough, and his role in the Benghazi events, it is worth noting this little before seen short video from 2006 while George Bush was in office. The Democrats had just won the majority seats in the House of Representatives, and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq were being used 24/7 by the politicos to demonize Bush.
It is worth bookmarking that video to share with any progressive who would challenge congressional oversight of national security with specifics of Benghazi. Indeed, the key player himself states openly only 6 years earlier that Congress has a duty to investigate.
From 2010 – He [McDonough] worked as a House international relations committee staffer from 1996 through 1999, after which he moved to Daschle’s office. At the Center for American Progress he researched health care policy.
At CAP McDonough researched Healthcare Policy? Now he is titled a key “National Security Advisor”? Odd no. But yet, what was the first ideological task when President Obama took office in 2009? Yep, Obamacare….. Let’s read on.
WhoRunsGov also links to two 2006 articles by McDonough, one published by Henry L. Stimson Center, “Short Term Focus on Long Term Challenges: The Administration,Congress and Iraq” (PDF) and the other published by the Center for American Progress, “No Mere Oversight: Congress Oversight of Intelligence Is Broken” (PDF).
DECEMBER 2012 – Deputy chief of staff Pete Rouse — who used to be Daschle’s chief of staff in the Senate and became Obama’s chief of staff after Daschle lost in 2004, has let it be known that he is interested in leaving — though he has said that before.
Speaking of the chief of staff, with incumbent Jack Lew said to be departing, perhaps to Treasury, [*snip – now confirmed] deputy secretary of state Tom Nides and former Biden chief of staff Ron Klain are obvious possibilities to replace him.
Jack Lew has indeed been tasked to replace Tim Geithner as Treasury Secretary and note who is amid the names of replacement for him (as Obama’s Chief of Staff) along with Denis McDonough, “TOM NIDES“.
You might remember when Hillary could not make the Senate Benghazi hearings because of her stomach flu, exhaustion, slip and fall, concussion, blot clot, someone was sent in her stead. That someone was Tom Nides. Hmmm?
Prior to the Benghazi Slaughter/Terror attack, actually EXACTLY a week before, the following release was from the State Dept.
John Brennan has now been tapped to replace General Petraeus at the CIA.
JANUARY 2012 – Lew, who replaces William M. Daley, steps into the role after a year of fierce partisan battles that saw Obama’s policy goals largely stalled in Congress. More and more, the president relied on executive orders to enact small pieces of his economic, education and housing proposals.
Lew is skilled in such practices. For two different presidents, Bill Clinton and Obama, he has headed the Office of Management and Budget, whose mission includes putting in place rules and regulations that don’t require congressional approval.

I had read some of those articles and chalked it up to Obama rewarding his loyalists, punishing his enemies, but now I’m beginning to think it is a bit more serious than cronyism and incompetence. I guess reading here for a bit is opening my eyes to the possibilities, scary as they might be.
One of the critical aspects to this is the video of Denis McDonough 2006.
This is the same guy that all points are converging on who is orchastrating the deflective and manipulative narrative around Benghazi avoidance.
To see him in 2006 proclaiming that Congress has the absolute authority to investigate the National Security apparatus, yet know today he is trying to subvert it, is, well, dangerous at a minimum.
Make sure everyone knows who Denis McDonough is, and make sure everyone knows his prior positions. That can be an important step to putting the full sunlight on the entire event.
From the start, almost everything that we were originally and “officially” told by the Obama Administration about the Benghazigate “event” was false (i.e., a lie) or misleading or inadequate. And now that the sole suspect held in the attack has been released, the cover-up is gaining momentum.
Well, now that Hillary has recovered following her “Immaculate Concussion” and blood clot (the two seem to be medically unrelated) she will purportedly be appearing before Congress.
Looking at the picture, and trying to imagine how we are perceived in the world now (by normal diplomats, self-respecting governments who perhaps actually have recognizably experienced individuals walking their halls)….just makes me feel sick.
We aren’t just a laughingstock. We have become irrelevant in a very dangerous way.
My feelings exactly. The last sentence in this paragraph made a lot of sense.
Whether or not Benghazi has dramatic historical importance, and reflects the point at which a true American global decline became evident, there is no doubt the tragedy embodies all the continuing defects of Obama’s worldview and his blindness toward significant international realities. For purposes of assessing the course of a second Obama term, Benghazi may well hold the keys, both as to the policies and personnel of the coming four years.
Nov 14, 2012…way wrong…how about a publishing date of Dec 19, 2012.
Re the picture at the link: role playing. The whole lot of them. Nothing but role playing.
He is so horribly disrespectful of the oval office and office of the POTUS. In his case, it’s childish role playing, like king of the hill.
Feet on the desk in the Oval Office of the WHITEHOUSE!
Yes. That is why the writers among us are important, such as Sundance and yourself. Writers find new ways to express that truth in ways that allow the light of the truth to reveal or at least get to the light coming from the surface of the truth by approaching from many different angles.
The video of Mr. McDonough is important along that way.
I don’t worry about how the world perceives us as a country nearly as much as I sweat blood about how Obama and his merry band of zealots perceive us as citizens and subjects.
I don’t worry about it. History teaches us that weakness on the international stage creates vulnerabilities which are easily exploited, and the resulting breaches may or not be repairable.
The way we are perceived by The Others is an equally serious problem, to be sure.
Zero & cohorts remain unopposed. Fast & Furious caused 200+ deaths, yet no consequences resulted. Nothing will come of Schlachthof Benghazi, either.
