Jay Carney Tries to Spin the New Benghazi Documents

Jay Carney tries to answer questions regarding the documents obtained by Judicial Watch  (Benghazi 4-7-14, 2014), through a Freedom of Information Act request. These documents identify that former White House Deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes gave former U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice the Benghazi talking points which attributed the attack on the Benghazi compound to a video-inspired protest (Newly Released Documents Show White House Pushed Video, 2014).  Carney tries to say that these talking points were not about Benghazi. This seems entirely disingenuous. Was this originally an intentional act to focus attention on an internet video? Is this now an attempt to spin the released documents that were only released after Judicial Watch brought a lawsuit against the State Department for failure to comply with a Freedom of Information Act request back on October 18, 2012?
