Looks more like Ruemmler setting up Rice to be the patsy.
I think there are provable lies by Rice in that document that will be used to discredit her credibility when she tries to finger Obama.
Rice definitely a crucial piece here. Rice was Gen Flynn's predecessor. He would have had it all. Big part of the puzzle lies in that nexus.
I'm going with Rice was forced to do the heavy lifting, while Obama knew they could take her out with a credibility hit when necessary.
Rice had to be comped to be forced to do the full Ginsburg on the Sunday after Benghazi, IMO.
