That’s hail...Mary.
Wow, the ass covering is in full swing!
Only the wonkiest of lefties will consider this of any significance.
Plain english for this college grad......
What do the talking points have to do with leaving thirty people to die? What do the talking points have to do with lying about a video? What do the talking points on Benghazi have to do with the IRS scandal or the AP scandal?
Answer...NOTHING!
Here’s the problem for everybody ~ the GOP doesn’t run the White House so the idea they changed emails there is patently ridiculous ~ nobody believes anything from the Democrats anymore anyway
Or where he was all afternooon and night.
This does not at all explain away the 12 versions of talking points, which systematically expunged every reference to Ansar al- Sharia (Al Queda), pre-planned coordinated attack, and unheeded CIA warnings about potential attacks.
I’m not getting how the GOP altered the emails. Which emails? From whom? To whom?
for later
Use of the term ‘equities’ is a little obtuse.
I guess that all depends on what the definition of 'appears' appears to be.
I assume you’re joking. The email says very little that was different and in any case, the news agencies were all working from a summary of the email sent to them - by the White House! So any discrepancies are once again s product of the White House. Nothing has changed and if anything it’s worse for them.
“did so in a way that made it appear that the White House was primarily concerned with the State Department’s desire to remove references and warnings about specific terrorist groups so as to not bring criticism to the department.”
Those were only some of the details. What it APPEARED to be to EVERYONE was that the ‘WHITE HOUSE’ is, and has been lying, covering up crimes, using our military and resources to aid the enemy, blackmailing any Republican/Conservative opposition using the various branches of the government, and not being particularly good at golf.
Who gave the STAND DOWN order?
Why did Obama go to sleep with an attack happening?
Who are the 30+ survivors and where are they now?
Why was Tyrone Woods painting a target?
Are you being sarcastic?
Distinctions Stricken for Comparison Purposes
Original Text Retained in Bold.
AS OBTAINED BY CNN (Pre-Damage Control Mode?):
“Sorry to be late to this discussion. We need to resolve this in a way that respects all of the relevant equities, particularly the investigation.
“There is a ton of wrong information getting out into the public domain from Congress and people who are not particularly informed. Insofar as we have firmed up assessments that don’t compromise intel or the investigation, we need to have the capability to correct the record, as there are significant policy and messaging ramifications that would flow from a hardened mis-impression.
“We can take this up tomorrow morning at deputies.”
AS LEAKED TO ABC (In damage control mode?):
“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. We thus will work through the talking points tomorrow morning at the Deputies Committee meeting.”
Carney kinda flailed around about altered emails. Need to see what was said on the live thread. My memory is that it referred to wrongly attributing something to Hillary whose sig is automatically added to certain communications even some she does not personally see.
This “exclusive” sets a new high bar for convoluted. Why did you add (we are so screwed)?
I read the Email and my BS meter sounded loudly. If this “E-mail” wasn’t written AFTER the last hearing, I’ll eat my shorts.
What are you talking about?
