WH is not hiding anything they want Rice to be SoS but republicans claim she were dishonest in statements about Benghazi, saying it were not a terrorist attack maybe she miss spoke, she didn't know better or lied.
Wouldn't be the first time someone named Rice went on to be SoS even if they lied before or miss spoke. (See Condo on Iraq)
The bigger picture is that the next probable candidate is John Kerry and that would leave an open Senate seat where the Repubs have a chance to gain the seat and get closer to 51 in the senate.
Benghazi have been an issue for R to attack D where there really weren't much to attack on which the election showed.
If Rice were a senator from a state where the seat would not swing like Kerry, I doubt you would see this anti Rice campaign, the Republicans is just A LOT better of playing tactical and dirty politics than Dems.
