i want to go back to benghazi and the whole business about this video. >> sure. >> benghazi was september 11th 2012. when did you first conclude that it wasn't a video that provoked this attack on the consulate and the cia facility in benghazi? >> so, greta it was on the morning of the 13th that our analysts produced really the first definitive piece that they wrote on the subject. and nowhere in that piece did they make a reference to the video. what the analysts said that morning was that the attack in benghazi was probably inspired by the people in benghazi watching what happened in cairo earlier in the day and trying to do the same thing in benghazi against the state department facility there. >> all right. so explain to me, if that happened as late as september it 0th 2012, when president obama is doing a interview with univision which is nine days later and about that time going on david letterman and he is still going -- he is still hung up on this video thing i mean, didn't the cia -- didn't y'all talk to the president and say look, it wasn't a video at benghazi? why was he still

pos >>> certainly not about benghazi. it was about the overall situation in the region, the muslim world. >> i don't believe that. >> it was about benghazi. >> i believe it was about benghazi because the second tick in those talking points was something to the order of we need to -- we need to bring to justice those people who have harmed americans. >> the only place that happened was benghazi. >> so, when the white house talked about that, they were lying? >> lying is a strong word. i didn't believe what they were saying. i think the line in there that says one of our objectives here right on the sunday show is to blame the video rather than a failure of policy. i think that that is crossing the line between national security and politics. were they intentionally lying? i don't know. i don't know. you have to ask them. >> yesterday he said jay mislead the public and reporters in suggesting that that memo was not politicized. was he lying then or is he lying now? >> well, again i you think that the point that mr. morell m

if benghazi was not already bad enough, right after benghazi i was left with two issues. was mrs. clinton's decision-making with respect to security of the people in benghazi. i was also, and i feel equally important, very concerned with her use of the cover-up of this crazy video. because president obama had declared just weeks earlier that al qaeda was on the run. she said that they will get to the bottom of this, using the red ha hearing of that video. -- read d herring of that video. your previous caller said this is about 2016, and it is. do we want a precedent who has the credentials that benghazi has presented at her cover-up? host: thank you. let's go back to march of this year. this is what hillary clinton have to say after she spoke to reporters at the united nations in new york. >> first, when i got to work at secretary of state, i opted for convenience use my personal e-mail account, which was allowed by the state department, because i thought it would be easier to carry just one device for my work and for my personal e-mails, instant of two. looking back, it

this included the whereabouts of stephens in 2011 when the security in eastern benghazi and benghazi in eastern libya was deteriorated. she had some other very sensitive stuff of conversations the president was having with foreign leaders. so, indeed, there was not classified stuff. there was a little bit, i guess as we learned today from the fbi, that there was. but there was stuff that was important. and if anyone, if any foreign government or anyone was on that server, they would have seen it. >> let me ask you about this. i'm having trouble understanding what the sort of standard is here, what the procedure is for redactions. we gave you -- there's that puzzling case here of the speech that's suddenly redacted, a speech you can go look at right now if you want to. buts there's this whole issue of sydney blumenthal. so in your reporting, you had sydney blumenthal's name on them. in these releases today from the state department, sydney blumenthal's name redacted. we saw your reporting and said that must be sydney blumenthal. the but the state department said no, we consider that r

benghazi, this whole e-mail thing that she supposedly deleted the e-mails.s a very closed, causative person, and i think that is one of her downsides. >> there are some downsides to her, but i think most of the questions of honesty and stuff are overblown. a lot of the fact is made that oh, she is so ambitious. well, you know what? if you're going to be a politician if you are going to set yourself up to be elected to any office, you have to be ambitious. you have to have one big ego and if you're going for higher offices, you have to have an absolutely huge ego, and sometimes that rubs people the wrong way. mark: one thing people have expressed is her ties to wall street. are any of you concerned about that? >> no. >> name one candidate who does not have ties to wall street. how can you get anywhere without having some ties to wall street or to the business community? mark: charlie, it was reported the other day, you may have heard, that the clintons, bill and hillary together have made $30 million in speaking fees, some from overseas interests. does that c

we're not sure how much the benghazi stuff would stick, if at all. so they need to make a broader case about her time and about her character. so they know most voters don't know who sydney blumenthal is but they're trying to make her associations, slowly but surely become a story. >> the -- what sydney blumenthal does as we've seen so far in the e-mails, is because he's been doing business in libya, which is the part of this that doesn't look particularly good for secretary clinton, that she's hearing from someone who has business interest in libya at the time. but what he does he e-mails right away about benghazi saying the original theory which oh this is all about that video that was released on youtube, made in the united states and this is reaction to that. but within 24 hours, he's the first one to say to secretary clinton, no this has been planned for months this was not about the video. this was an al qaeda-planned event. they were looking for this opportunity. and so, jane it's one of those things where all you get to clint to cling to is i

hillary clinton testified on benghazi. revelations in his book affect the current state of knowledge of what's going on here? >> it doesn't change it at all. i mean, we have had this investigated -- i think it's nine times with the intelligence committee in the house being the most recent. and, you know, the talking points, cia's involvement in it, who spun it this way, who spun it that way. i mean, that's been talk about for a very long time. and we put it on. like i said, a number of official reports. i mean, the real issue here is we've learned is that this new benghazi committee is all about partisanship and politics. it is all about the 2016 presidential election. and not about trying to figure anything new out about benghazi. and i think that's unfortunate. but that's the way the committee is headed. so i don't think it changes the equation. i think all we need to know about the benghazi committee is they've spent $3 million thus far and had three hearings. for one other thing out there, they seem to want to push thi

the first batch is about libya and benghazi.and her inner circle closely followed the fallout from the attacks on the u.s. diplomatic mission in benghazi and they were concerned about how those attacks would impact both the state department and clinton's own image. and these e-mails that are coming soon are only about 300 of the 30,000 she's turned over to the state department. clinton's e-mails became an issue after it was revealed she did official business on a personal server giving her total control over the e-mails and republicans have criticized that practice. they said that she was the one who decided what was and wasn't a public record and there's no way to double-check her decisions. so we're going to get our first batch of about 300 e-mails here soon but there's still 30,000 other e-mails that will come down the pike here so this story was far from over carol. >> you have a lot of work cut out for you. thanks so much. i appreciate it. let's talk more about those e-mails. a key figure in the e-mails about the benghazi a

>> finally, the e-mails show on september 15 2012 four days after the benghazi attacks, mrs. clinton who famously asked if barack obama was ready for the 3:00 a.m. phone call herself, slept through the meeting where she was to receive the president's daily brief. the most sensitive classified document that the intelligence community produces. in fact on that day mrs. clinton awoke at 10:40 a.m. at the state department james rossen fox news. >> james, thanks. >>> iraqi forces claiming they recaptured a town four miles from the key city of ramadi. the capital of the anbar province fell to isis militants last week. the loss is devastating and another reminder that the terror group is on the move. well isis now controls parts of syria and has taken over much of northern iraq. now the white house strategy for dealing with these extremists is under fire. but the obama administration is standing behind the decision not to deploy u.s. troops. >> two years ago the information on the ground may have changed and may require some change in the way that strategy is carried out. but that's

we're seeing benghazi because of that house investigation. what did she say in these e-mails about russia north korea, assad in syria, if not classified sensitive information. we simply don't know. >> ed does anyone seem to be alarmed whatsoever the press corps there about the impropriety about this? what is sidney blumenthal running a private investigation as the department of state? why is she taking direction about what narrative to put forward, offering two stories and she's deciding which one to go with and she chooses the one, despite the one to the contrary she goes with the old story? >> reporter: okay. so on that question an important question you're right, i've had extensive conversations with the clinton campaign. and in private they say, look these were unsolicited e-mails from blumenthal asking him to help as an outside adviser. however, that is true that they were sent in to her. it was not her necessarily soliciting it. on the other hand, she forwarded the information. was she following up or saying this is one piece of informa

and they focus exclusively on benghazi and libya. point out there's no evidence here of a smoking gun. there's no stand down order. there was no evidence that any guns were being run through benghazi. they say this is just more evidence that republicans are spinning crazy conspiracy theories. republicans are quick to point out a number of these e-mails raise questions about security in benghazi and in libya. they point to an august 24th e-mail for example, that says there were some warning signs of a deteriorating security situation. they want to know why did that happen. and the other thing here poppy, that's really interesting is you get some sense of how hillary clinton ran the state department. a few days before christmas, two of her top aides were set to go and testify on capitol hill. she couldn't make it. she had fallen down and suffered a concussion. she writes to them so i'll be nursing my cracked head and cheering you on as you remain calm and carry on. and there's also another e-mail from a top aide to hillary that talks a

the day after the benghazi attacks, in blumenthal's memo, there's this prevailing theory that it waswho were demonstrating over a video, an internet video about prophet muhammad, and that was really where this attack happened in benghazi libya. the next day, though another memo was sent from blumenthal. he says that sharia took advantage of what is really this protester situation in libya. at that point, iran countered what the obama administration was saying. hillary clinton has said, you know, i have a lot of old friends. i was talking to an old friend. i'm not going to stop. but critics will look at the role of sidney blumenthal in this and say he's a hatchet man for the clintons. >> there's so many things to unpack here. one is the process by which she was e-mailing and getting information. another is who she was getting information from. maybe some of the millennials out there don't know who sidney blumenthal was, but he was a controversial player in the clinton administration in the '90s. >> he was a very big player. actually once a journalist and came over and was very key to

some of the e-mails did deal with politics of benghazi. one talking about the jimmy carter strategy. a say loanlon article saying the gop could bring this up to make obama look weak. hillary clinton saying make sure ben knows about this. what are we to make of that? how much of that could be problematic in this investigation? >> once we found out more details about what happened that day, many republicans said look this seems to have been because its happened in september is of election year of president obama's re-election year. so, the fact that this is speculated in these e-mails doesn't make it true. it does speak i always think to reality that there are no dry policy debates. there are no events that do not happen and are not quickly seen or at least sort of suggested to be seen. what does this mean politically speaking? that's true of democrats and republicans. >> and kelly, one thing that struck me as well in these e-mails is that hillary clinton presumably was forwarding these e-mails from blumenthal about events happening on the g
