President Obama and his administration are once again holding back information regarding the terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya.

Now the administration is refusing to divulge a “media strategy” discussion about a Sept. 27, 2012 Fox News investigative report on Benghazi.

Fox News obtained and released a seven-page email chain with the subject line “Fox News: US officials knew Libya attack was terrorism within 24 hours,” that the administration believes ” would have a chilling effect on their “frank deliberations.”

So who were the President’s men involved in the email exchange?

According to the emails themselves, former White House counterterrorism advisor John Brennan, Obama’s deputy national security advisor Denis McDonough, and presidential communications advisor Ben Rhodes. Yes, the same Ben Rhodes whose previous email about the attack triggered the House to form a Select Committee to investigate the cover up.

While originally designated “SENSITIVE BUT UNCLASSIFIED,” Justice Department lawyers told a federal court May 1 that the State Department rightfully withheld “…comments, opinions and assessments related to the formulation of a media strategy with respect to an ongoing sensitive matter….The release of this information could reasonably be expected to chill the frank deliberations that occur when State Department and other U.S. government officials are formulating public responses to address sensitive issues.”

Two days after the emails, a spokesman for the nation’s intelligence chief, the director of national intelligence, released a lengthy statement explaining the evolution in the intelligence community’s thinking from the assault being a spontaneous attack to it being pre-meditated terrorism.

The statement does not mention a video originally cited by then-U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice as being behind the attack. It also does not, on its face, constitute the “media strategy” that was the subject of the seven-page email chain.

An DNI spokesman told Fox he could not comment on what may or may not be in the redacted emails.

When previously asked about the Sept. 28, 2012 release, the DNI spokesman said the suggestion to “develop the statement came from within the intelligence community.”–Fox News

This is getting ugly for Obama and his merry men. Republican legislators like Ron DeSantis, Darrell Issa, Jason Chaffetz, and Trey Gowdy (who is heading the investigation), smell blood in the water, and will undoubtedly look for a direct link to President Obama.

Has the case for a possible impeachment of the President been made, or is a direct tie to the cover-up needed to seal his fate?
