Some interesting dots to connect

How did Ben Rhodes get his security official gig?  After all, as Joel Pollack at Breitbart points out, he had "no prior national security or expertise."

Now it appears that he is the key to the Benghazi talking points.

His brother is the head of CBS News, and we know what reporter, who had done a fair amount of focusing on Benghazi, recently left that organization.

Ed Lasky at The American Thinker spells it out:

For years I have wondered why Rhodes had achieved such influence with Obama-given a clear lack of qualification to serve any role in the upper reaches of government. Now we know it is not sycophancy alone that worked for him. Nor is it just the fact that his brother heads CBS News (which recently par ted company with Sharyl Attkisson following her persistent investigative reporting on Benghazi).  It goes beyond those factors: he will do his boss’s bidding, hiding information, manipulating the facts, distract people: the truth and the American people be damned.

Undoubtedly he shared Hillary Clinton’s view: what difference, at this point, does it make?

This was all about making sure that the episode did not erode the Most Equal Comrade's grip on power.
