Report: FBI Benghazi Survivor Interviews Delivered to Senate Intel Committee

Kerry Picket

(Excerpt)

A source told CBS News that FBI transcripts of interviews with Benghazi survivors were turned over to the Senate Intelligence Committee on Thursday........

The documents that came from the White House is the second set to be sent to Congress. The initial set of documents related to the attack were considered “insufficient” due to massive redactions....

The documents that were sent on Thursday had fewer redactions. They show that e-mail correspondence reveal “talking points” that were sent around the White House, the FBI, and the Justice Department. Fox News reported:

Sources said the emails revealed heavy editing by then-CIA Director David Petraeus. The talking points evolved as they were passed around various intelligence and security hubs, and scrubbed of language referring to “al Qa’ida.” They also seemed to indicate an effort to paint the Sept. 11 attack as a demonstration and not a planned attack, the source said.

“The word ‘attacks’ was changed to ‘demonstration,’” the source said....

considered “insufficient” due to massive redactions....

by massive redactions, I understand, from my small brain, to mean massive blackouts of text. It figures.

The so-called Benghazi talking points were requested by the Senate Intelligence Committee, but were so heavily redacted lawmakers sent them back and demanded another set, a source told Fox News.

Lawmakers sought the papers in order to find out why the administration repeatedly claimed the attack, which killed Ambassador Chris Stevens, a State Department employee and two former Navy SEALs, was sparked by a spontaneous protest over an anti-Islam video.

But the first batch of documents contained hundreds of pages that were of no use, the source said.

“It was so redacted that there was no information whatsoever,” said the source, who spoke to Fox on the condition they not be identified. “There were some documents that were 100 pages with every word on the page redacted. They were worthless.”

Should this be allowed to stand, there will forever be a group or groups of people whom claims to represent the People claiming the documents were redacted of information or text black out and we cannot find the truth, thus we (so our representatives shall claim) can do nothing. Cooperation is a two way street dear representatives. I am only one. I am beginning to think both sides (r&d) and the media have an agenda to keep the truth from the People. It is up to (r,d,m) republicans, democrats, and the media to prove otherwise. I have nothing to prove for I am not a representative claiming to represent the People or the Truth but I can smell a rat.

Thanks smoothsailing for the link and for the update.

I pray I counted correctly at the original link and read the comment you referenced. If I read the correct link, I have to agree with the person who wrote the comment. I do think fingerprints from both sides of the aisle are on this injustice but I do not look for anything other than what we have seen thus far to be told to the People. May I be pleasantly surprised.

I know you did not ping me for comment, so you have my apology for butting into your ping.

Congressman Jason Chaffetz (R - UT) told Breitbart News that the State Department was not allowing members of Congress to see those who survived the attack.

TREASON - continuous, pre-meditated, in-your-face, agency-abetted, media-manipulated, "representative"-enabled, ongoing...

Questions asked, answers not forthcoming. Questions not asked, answers not forthcoming.

TREASON like this republic has never seen before.

RIP Doherty, Smith, Stevens, Woods. Condolences to your families and friends.
