The CIA gave Rice the talking points.They also gave the exact same talking points to the House Intelligence Committee at the exact same time.

Here's what Susan Rice said:

"Our current assessment is that what happened in Benghazi was in fact initially a spontaneous reaction to what had just transpired hours before in Cairo... Almost a copycat of the demonstrations against our facility in Cairo, which were prompted, of course, by the video."

"The currently available information suggests that the demonstrations in Benghazi were spontaneously inspired by the protests at the United States embassy in Cairo and evolved into a direct assault."
