Republicans Altered Benghazi Emails, CBS News Report Claims
Huffington Post ^ | 5/5/14 | Chris Gentilviso

Posted on 05/05/2014 9:26:47 AM PDT by Nachum

One day after The White House released 100 pages of Benghazi emails, a report has surfaced alleging that Republicans released a set with altered text.

CBS News reported Thursday that leaked versions sent out by the GOP last Friday had visible differences than Wednesday's official batch. Two correspondences that were singled out in the report came from National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes and State Department Spokeswoman Victoria Nuland.

The GOP version of Rhodes' comment, according to CBS News: "We must make sure that the talking points reflect all agency equities, including those of the State Department, and we don't want to undermine the FBI investigation."

The White House email: "We need to resolve this in a way that respects all of the relevant equities, particularly the investigation."

The GOP version of Nuland's comment, according to CBS News: The penultimate point is a paragraph talking about all the previous warnings provided by the Agency (CIA) about al-Qaeda's presence and activities of al-Qaeda."

The White House email: "The penultimate point could be abused by members to beat the State Department for not paying attention to Agency warnings."

The news parallels a Tuesday CNN report which initially introduced the contradiction between what was revealed in a White House Benghazi email version, versus what was reported in media outlets. On Monday, Mother Jones noted that the Republicans' interim report included the correct version of the emails, signaling that more malice and less incompetence may have been at play with the alleged alterations.

This is a Joseph Goebell’s propaganda technique.

Liberals always hide their siding with terrorists by blming Bush or Republicans. No one is on Republican side in this per say, but it serves its purpose to assume so.

Alinsky, it is what a terrorist would be saying short of officialy siding with terror.

I heard this morning that the “smoking gun” that Judicial Watch received differed as well from another version that was released to Congress.

It is unraveling.

I’m seeing a lot about claims and allegations but not much more.

Baloney is being slung around.

This is the devil’s prank. Foist a lie on someone and then point and laugh at that someone.

Is Dan Rather working at CBS again? This sounds like his work, or rather what he might have learned from some of his previous work.

No need for “System” in your post. Maybe we can get Dan Rather to tell us how it really is.
