in benghazi. i was today, was it possible the white house did not sanction that and the white house did not approve of the timeline because it said that what happened there was not our problem but it was someone else's problem. the other thing we considered is there really was a disconnect between what lawmakers saw as the raw intelligence about benghazi which pointed toward a terrorist attack and the briefings they received from the c.i.a. director days of the attack. if you can stay with me health me lay that out for you, a couple of days after the attack on 9/11 i was able to confirm the f.b.i. and the national counter terrorism center were briefing to lawmakers the evidence supported that it al qaedaback or al qaeda-related event. the following day the c.i.a. director went up to capitol hill and briefed that it did seem to be a demonstration that had spun out-of-control like a flash mob and the origination was anti-islam video this disconnect upset lawmakers who felt there was other intelligen

with benghazi, it is difficult to find a legitimate partner in benghazi.n we had the difficulty, too. but i think that we were able to identify those who were involved and were able to interrogate them and get instructions from them. we were able to link investigation for the terrorist attack. we were able to identify the suicide bombers. one thing i know about the fbi's that they are brilliant and putting the pieces of the investigation together. i am sure we will be able to know exactly what happened. and the people that were involved. jenna: at times have changed since the attack at the uss cole and what happened in benghazi. have you read about the interrogation techniques that have been used to get to the truth? >> sure, i have. actually, i read each and every one of of these suspects malinda are better right than we were able to get confession from them. jenna: so you expect a similar pattern in libya. how crucial do you think general petraeus is in his testimony to the truth? >> it is bigger than a the director. the cia's bigger than a director. i a

the cia flat at denies that any terrorists were held in benghazi.his is part of that cia statement, reading in the suggestion that the agency is still in the detention business is uninformed, and baseless. fox news is siding to sources in benghazi and a high level official in washington, off three of whom corroborate the statements about the holding of terrorists. coincidentally or not, that 26 of october is the same day that to journalists for foreign policy magazine discovered classified documents detailing security concerns in benghazi. they found those documents lying on the floor of what remained of the u.s. consulate. that, three weeks after the fbi had finally made its way to benghazi to conduct an investigation, an investigation that took less than a day. there has been no explanation as to why the fbi left those classified state department papers on the ground. adding to the coincidences' c'mon the 26 of october, it was on that date that fox news cia operators on the ground in benghazi had asked for, and were denied help four times during t

you can't get to the post-benghazi without him testifying. for months the state department people on the ground were telling the state department that al-qaeda was all over the place. we can't defend this place. the night of the attack they told washington, we are under attack. this is al-qaeda coordinated attack. i want to hear from general petraeus about what he knew before, during and after the attack. there is no substitute for his testimony. >> greta: what is your theory as to why on the 15th that even station chief had said there was terrorism that he came and told the story about the video and the spontaneous protests. what in the world would possess him to say that? >> i don't know. i think every american needs to understand why general petraeus told committee members behind closed doors this was a mob spawned by a video. we know why susan rice told the whole world what she did. >> would you filibuster any effort if they try to make susan rice as secretary of state? >> i am not going to promote anyone that is involved in benghazi disa

about benghazi. and many other americans, not sure if it's 50-50 or what the measure is, but there are many americans who want the answers to how the head of the cia could be involved in an illicit affair that resulted in the fbi raiding his mistress' house and taking away hard drives and confirmation there may be information about the comings and goings of general petraeus, not publicly known. that's critical stuff. how dhuz kind of information get out to a mistress? and you just said they're not going to talk about that. i don't know if that's the devil's gadevil e devil's bargain, but will there be other hearings to get to the bottom of this trash? >> no doubt about it. they've made clear they are going ton investigation of why they didn't know what happened with this long, secretive investigation and everything you just mentioned. even today, there will be a first of what we expect to be many meetings. it's going to be closed door, private, but many meetings with the house intelligence leaders, l

it keeps coming back to benghazi and your points on benghazi. >> judge jeanine: i'm going to add to that once a senior official is within the scope of an f.b.i. investigation the chair and ranking member of key committees must immediately be briefed by the f.b.i. would you agree with me that if the head of the c.i.a. is being investigated with the f.b.i. that he would have had to tell the president in addition to key people the relevance of it to the committee? >> absolutely. there is no question about it. they would have known and this would have taken care it very quickly. that is our particular point. why didn't they do this? why did they break the normal pane of behavior. >> judge jeanine: let's assume they did know because if the f.b.i. saying we were investigating him and the general is admitting he had an affair. then the question really is, why hold it? by holding this information and i got to tell you as you look at some of these tapes and the articles and book she wrote hime knew a lot about him. was someone telling him he has to tow the line. is that why he quit? >> that is my

the clear signal is that this was not about benghazi. he's not resigning as any kind of admission of flaws or faults in the intelligence gathering on benghazi. although there will be in the house and senate a continuing series of hearings. there is going to be an intelligence committee next week, and he was supposed to be one of the witnesses. apparently he met with the president on this, and the president has accepted his he resignation. this is the four-star general that led our forces in iraq and afghanistan who came into the administration retired from the military, and took the offer from the president to be the cia director in april of 2011. he will be succeeded temporarily by the depth see cia director, a career veteran widely regarded, highly respected michael morrell. toure. >> thank you, andrea. let's go to colonel jack jacobs. this is shocking news. we don't expect this from a man like general petraeus, with the reputation he's had. what light can you shed on what's going on? >> very little, actually. it's such a shock to ever

plus, the petraeus scandal further muddies the benghazi probe. was the account of this in any way related to his affair. and the u.s. on track to be be the largest oil producer, but will the obama administration let it happen or turn an oil boom into a bust? welcome to the journal editorial report, i'm paul gigot. headed into friday, fiscal cliff talks with congressional leaders, president obama gave us a hit list of his negotiations strategies, repeating his intention to immediately raise tax rates on top earners. >> when it comes to the top 2%, what i'm not going to do is to extend further a tax cut for folks who don't need it which would cost close to a trillion dollars and it's very difficult to see how you make up that trillion dollars if we're serious about deficit reduction, just by closing loopholes and deductions. the math tends not to work. >> paul: but does the president's math add up? let's ask wall street journal columnist bill mcguerin, and analyst steve moore and washington columnist kim strassel. so, kim, the president won reelect

who had nothing to do with benghazi to tell us about benghazi?f odd. the president said, why pick on her? she didn't know anything about benghazi. she was the most politically compliant person they could find. i don't know what she knew, but i know the story she told was misleading. i don't know why it was misleading. but let me put this in context. would this white house mislead the american people about national security events? i think they might, simply because when the bin laden raid occurred, they leaked every detail about the raid. we have a pakistani doctor in custody because he told about the role he played. the underwear bomber case where we stopped a plot in yemen came out in "the new york times." they told us about how this administration stopped the role of cyber attacks on iranian nuclear program. in three weeks we heard a lot of detailed about classified information to make this president look good. so if they would leak classified information to make him look good, would they withhold information to prevent him from looking bad? i

you're saying that petraeus is having this affair to cover up benghazi? i mean, the fantasies that are evolving are totally insane. >> let's get back to benghazi. we now learn that the ambassador and the folks in benghazi were begging for help, there were terrorist attack, they blew a 12-foot hole in the wall in the compound, they were sending memos saying we need more protection, we need more help, and none was forthcoming. that's number one. the second thing that makes it an issue, why was no help sent along that night when these guys were under attack seven and a half hours they were under attack? these are valid questions. afterwards they go out and they're talking about this protest that got out of control which is a total fabrication. there was no protest. >> but -- >> there was. >> the attackers were telling passersby at the time that they were doing it in protest on the film. more over, all the intelligence to this day suggests that it was not premeditated and preplanned but opportunistic. >> question. >> it's got to be investigated. >> different

maybe not such tough questions, but i did get testy when asked about the white house spin and the benghazierror attack. >> if senator mccain and senator graham and others want to go after somebody, they should go after me. >> the president of the united states did not tell the american people the truth about the attacks that took four grave americans' lives that went on for eight, seven hours for which we were totally unprepared. >> how did the media handle this showdown? a new scandal involving now former cia director general petraeus and an extramarital affair, a florida socialite, a bare chested fbi agent and is this a concern or a washington smoke screen? >> i don't think anyone on either side of the aisle underestimates the difficulties. >> both sides work to gain the high ground in dealing with the looming fiscal cliff, but the media seem to be one-sided in the details. which side do you think they're on? and it's in with the new, but are the old staying, too. >> oh, you've always asked that question except to mitch mcconnell. >> on the panel this week, writer and fox news contributo

i want to testify about benghazi. there was nothing to do with the white house pressuring me to leave this job. >> this reads like someone you would not even imagine, with a plot like this, five days before the hearing. it does legitimately raise eyebrows. >> greta: do you think it's a coincidence? cia director david petraeus resigning days before he was supposed to testify about benghazi on capitol hill. cath ridge herridge is here. tell us the facts we have right now. >> the chain of events, it set into motion on thursday. fox was told that the cia director had a very important meeting at a cia headquarter, people were coming in from out of town. a couple of hours before, it was cancelled abruptly. we know that on thursday, he went to the white house and talked specifically to the president about resigning from his position, for personal reasons. then on friday, that resignation was accepted by the president. so it's really been a chain of events over the last 48 hours. >> greta: do we have any information whether o

-- consulate in benghazi.hairwoman of the house foreign affairs committee making it clear earlier that failures by the administration must not be repeated. >> the coordinated, preplanned and brazen attacks against the u.s. consulate in benghazi on september 11th was an outrage. also disgraceful is the sad parade of conflicting accounts of the attack that we have received from administration officials in the weeks and months since. jon: in addition to secretary clinton, we'll also be hearing from former cia director david petraeus, national security correspondent jennifer griffin is live for us now at the pentagon. jennifer? >> reporter: hi, jon. well, it's important to point out that that open hearing on capitol hill does not include anybody who was in any position of decision making on, in the government about benghazi. they are mostly analysts from think tanks who are appearing before the house foreign affairs committee. in terms of david petraeus, we understand that he will be on capitol hill tomorrow, he w

we still don't have the facts on benghazi. you have dianne feinstein saying that we some should have this administration. you have leon panetta the investigation was going on leaders of the congress should have known about it. look at the entire situation, you ask yourself this question, what is at play here? did general petraeus admit to bad act? yes his resignation was accepted. >> i've been involved in counter intelligence operations in the past. there has been some question over, f.b.i. got involved, the start of this i think if you look at it, i think it's quite plausible. jill kelly has a bureau field agent. apparently the bureau field act had a thing for jill kelly. what does he do? he is a friend and pushes this thing inside the bureau to get it investigated. that is kind of the way i would go, you have to have a network in there. if it had been anybody and been no relationship this may no never have kicked off. >> sean: what about broadwell saying petraeus knew go b 'benghazi but that they were holding lynnian militia

that's been lost in this debate about benghazi.he real issues to me are, how do we strengthen security at embassies, how do we republicans and democrats to give full funding to secure embassies and consoulates and how do we go after the terrorist group in libya that killed ambassador stevens and his colleagues? it's a partisan time in our country, unfortunately. >> thanks very much, nick burns. next, israel's ambassador to the u.s., michael oren joining us.

who had nothing to do with benghazi. that's pretty stunning. why did they pick her? if she had nothing to do with benghazi. she is not in charge of conflict security. she works in the u.n. why nobody from the state department. i believe she's a close political ally of the president. she went on national tv, four or five days after the attack, when there is no credible informs that the video scenario was real and she either through incompetence or an intentional effort to mislead the american people, tried to spin a story that would help the president because if it was true that this was an al qaeda attack, long-time in the making, that killed our ambassador and three other brave americans, so much for the story, we killed osama bin laden, al qaeda's on the run, being dismantled. i am going to hold her accountable. she volunteered. she is either very incompetent or she was misleading. but the person i brame blame the most is president. >> sean: you said within 20 minutes of the press conference, you sent a response. you s
