Two leading Republicans on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence say that Michael Morell, former deputy director and twice acting director of the Central Intelligence Agency, provided an account of his role on Benghazi that was often highly misleading and at times deliberately false.
“I went back and reviewed some of his testimony the other day and he’s gotten himself in a real box,” says Senator Saxby Chambliss, the highest-ranking Republican on the committee. “It’s really strange. I’ve always thought Mike was a straight-up guy, gave us good briefings—factual, straightforward. I mean, this has really been strange the last few weeks—all this now being uncovered.”
At issue is the central role Morell played in producing the Obama administration’s flawed talking points about the fatal attacks on U.S. facilities in Benghazi, Libya, on September 11, 2012, and the misleading answers he provided to lawmakers who investigated them.
The allegations of misconduct are serious. In the “additional views” portion of the recent Senate Intelligence Committee report, six Republican members accuse Morell of lying in sworn testimony to Congress. Several Republican senators tell The Weekly Standard that Morell misled them in one-on-one or small-group meetings about the talking points. Morell—now counselor to Beacon Global Strategies, a consultancy close to Hillary Clinton—did not respond to a request for comment.

And, I'm thinkin' if he was, the NSA might have messed with a bigger dog than they could handle...along with the White House.
You're just not very smart to go after people who kill for a living.
It's vanished...because it can no longer be justified.
What I want to know is just who's idea was it? And, then, I want to know why. And when they first became aware of it.
Is he queer or just acts that way to endear himself with the administration?
As a member of the minority, Chambliss cannot issue subpoenas.
That task belongs to the Committee's Chair, Diane Feinstein...
Now, who told him what to write...???
Would it be treason if Hillary and Obama knowingly provided support to the people who murdered four Americans? What’s the punishment for treason? Maybe that’s why Hillary is looking haggard.
there have been so many provable lies during Congressional hearings yet no prosecution - why??

Benghazi ping.
#4 for my catch-up pings today. Let Republicanprofessor know if you want on or off this ping list.
The only answer is criminal charge(s). Clapper. Berger, Holder, Clinton, Rice, etc... Everyone that lied under oath, charge them. Let them spent the time to refute. It will cost them money and political capital. The MSM can’t completely ignore actual charges.
Subpoenas are worthless if the info is already gone.
Scooter Libby went to prison for a lot less.
In flyover we call that 'lying' and if done under oath we call it 'perjury'...
You are so correct!!
I do and Thank You!
Leon Panetta is that large figure standing in the corner. In the other even darker corner is an even larger figure who rarely is visible to anyone but Barack O. he is Ben Rhodes.....Barry's fixer, another of Barack's clandestine people and much feared for his fiction. Both men have a great deal to do with the web spun around Benghazi, both Obama and Clinton know about it.
Why would anyone ever trust Obama or Clinton for any reason again.
