Well the Obama administration continues to deal to fallout over the terror attack on the Libyan conflict and now bestselling author and -- is joining us saying that according to his sources.

The clintons feel President Obama -- -- the big Gaza tragedy on the secretary of state.

And force her to take the fall for it.

And Klein has written numerous books on the Kennedys clintons and most recently on the Obama -- he's joining us live now from New York.

And welcome nice to have you here today -- Great to be with you that thank you for having me on -- -- -- moan about don't what -- sources have been telling you you say that the clintons right now.

Are planning for a doomsday scenarios I just think what settled -- -- they're planning -- a bunch of scenarios one is getting there legal team together which they've already begun doing.

So that when it if Hillary is subpoenaed to which I believe she will be.

She will have a and answered whether or not she's going to appear before -- committee.

And whether or not she's gonna do -- executive privilege as an excuse not to give them her -- In their office memoranda.

Why why if you think she's setting stage for this at this point RD -- up.

Bill Bill Clinton believes.

This is based on my reported.

That.

Given the stakes in this election.

That the Obama White House and especially the Obama campaign team.

It is likely that tried to throw Hillary under the bus rather than have Obama.

Take responsibility for what happened in big -- So as mrs.

Clinton and that gears up and tries to focus on her own legacy.

This is something that the clintons obviously taking quite seriously -- -- expect.

From your sources that we're going to see in the Obama -- White House step up that.

That rhetoric and focus on mrs.

Clinton as a scapegoat.

I think they've already started to do that saying they did know about it it was the State Department.

You know build a whole.

Effort this year has not been to concentrate on 2012.

In the reelection of Barack Obama but the set the stage.

For -- run by his wife Hillary in 2006 the he has been trying to burnish the Clinton brand he's been trying to.

Show that the clintons are loyal Democrat out.

In the on the campaign trail.

Beating the drums for Barack Obama and now that hole.

Scenario that whole planet is is being called into question by who's going to take the blame for being gutsy.

We'll share for mrs.

Clinton who spoke out.

About the investigation yesterday -- -- she had to say.

Nobody should have ever thought this would be an easy road.

I certainly didn't.

However it is important to look at the full picture.

To -- -- violent acts of a small number of extremists.

Against the aspirations.

And actions.

Of the region's people and governments.

Is parent can seizing that the strategy -- that the Obama a White House allegedly is planning here may backfire.

I do think it could backfire because the clintons are one tough bunch of people and they're not gonna allow.

Hillary Clinton did go down in flames for on this one -- -- -- business.

This is it true this could be a terrific stayed on her reputation.

And of course it's -- stayed on the reputation.

The president so the question is.

Who is going to take blame for this will the president step up during -- -- second debate and say yes in fact he did know about this request.

For increased security and it was -- all the -- problem of the State Department or will he.

Once again claim that -- I didn't know anything about this if he did now I think about it that in itself.

It's a terrible admission.

His lack of control and governance of foreign policy which he is up to now claimed was one of the bright spots.

In his administration.

-- Klein thank you so much for joining us today we shall see and wait to hear and what develops out of this thank you for joining us.

Thank you look.
