On Tuesday nightâs âOn the Record with Greta Van Susterenâ on the Fox News Channel, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said that major news networks might have secret emails proving that the White House canceled plans to assist the besieged U.S. Embassy in Benghazi.
Gingrich said that the bombshell emails could be revealed within the next two days.
âThere is a rumor â I want to be clear, itâs a rumor â that at least two networks have emails from the National Security Adviserâs office telling a counterterrorism group to stand down,â Gingrich said. âBut they were a group in real-time trying to mobilize marines and C-130s and the fighter aircraft, and they were told explicitly by the White House stand down and do nothing. This is not a terrorist action. If that is true, and Iâve been told this by a fairly reliable U.S. senator, if that is true and comes out, I think it raises enormous questions about the presidentâs role, and Tom Donilon, the National Security Adviserâs role, the Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, who has taken it on his own shoulders, that he said donât go. And that is, I think, very dubious, given that the president said he had instructions they are supposed to do everything they could to secure American personnel.â
After noting that the rumor, if true, would have a substantial impact on the presidential election, Gingrich pointed to another possible âOctober surpriseâ in the coming days.
âThe other big story, I think, that is going to break is on corruption and extraordinary waste in the solar power grants and direct involvement by the Obama White House, including the president, in the solar panel grants involving billions of dollars, and I suspect thatâs going to break Wednesday and Thursday of this week,â Gingrich added.
