Jeb bush trips all over himself trying to explain why it is reasonable to blame Hillary Clinton for Benghazi but not blame his brother for 9-11.

Tapper wondered if Bush’s loyalty to his brother “might be in some ways a political or policy liability blinding you to mistakes he made.” 

“It’s what you do after that matters,” Bush insisted. “Does anybody actually blame my brother for the attacks on 9/11? If they do, they’re totally marginalized in our society. It’s what he did afterwards that mattered, and I’m proud of him. And so are a bunch of other people.” 

“Obviously al Qaeda was responsible for the terrorist attacks of 9/11,” the CNN host pressed. “But how do you respond to critics who ask if your brother and his administration bear no responsibility at all, how do you then make the jump that President Obama and Secretary Clinton are responsible for what happened at Benghazi?” 

Bush stammered in response: “Well, I — the question on Benghazi, which we will now finally get the truth to, is was the place secure? They had a responsibility at the Department of State to have proper security.” 

“And how was the response in the aftermath of the attack?” he continued. “Was there a chance that these four American lives could have been saved? That’s what the investigation is about, it’s not a political issue… Were we doing the job of protecting our embassies and our consulates, and during the period, those hours after the attacks started, could they have been saved?” 

“That’s kind of proving the point of the critics,” Tapper noted. “You don’t want you brother to bear responsibility for 9/11 — and I understand that argument and al Qaeda is responsible — but why are the terrorists not the ones that are responsible for these attacks in Libya?” 

“They are!” Bush replied. “But if the ambassador was asking for additional security and they didn’t get it, that’s a proper point. And if it’s proven that the security was adequate compared to other embassies, then fine, we’ll move on.”

Actually there was already a report released back in 2014 which found that Hillary Clinton and the Obama Administration acted appropriately to the attack, and that there was no cover up: 

The final report, from Chairman Mike Rogers, R-Michigan, and ranking member Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger, D-Maryland, concludes there was no intelligence failure prior to the attack, no stand-down order to CIA operatives trying to go assist at the besieged consular building and found conflicting intelligence in the wake of the attack about the motive and cause, which were reflected in early public comments by the administration.

Of course Jeb! already knows this just like WE all know that his brother was warned repeatedly about a pending terrorist attack before 9-11 and did nothing to stop it. 

it should also be noted that there were 39 separate attacks on American embassies or embassy personnel during the Bush Administration resulting in the deaths of 87 people. Not all of them were American of course, but enough were to make the American death toll significantly higher than at Benghazi.

Simply put Donald Trump is destroying Jeb's candidacy one trolling tweet at a time, and Jeb! is helping him do it by rushing to defend his brother which invites unfavorable comparisons with the Obama administration.
