Former CIA head Mike Morrell is scheduled to testify at 10AM in a PUBLIC hearing before the House Intelligence Committee. C-span doesn't have it scheduled live and FOXnews.com isn't showing that they'll carry it.
Not many people/journalists in the gallery.
Mr. Schiff is up.
CIA assumed “terrorist” when they said “extremist in their internal communication.”
How special is that? The news was full of the question” “Was this terrorism?”
I guess Obama does not know the CIA style / usage as far as words are involved.
How many of the CIA people involved ,now work at the White House ? When new info came it they stuck with the protest ,no one questioned any of the bull .
Who is this Office of Terrorism Analysis “woman”?
Did Jenna Lee just say Hillary added the protest talking points?
Charlotte Lamb?
“I didnt realize he was with Bush on 9/11 and immediately told him Bin Laden was behind. For me, really? you would immediately go to Bin Laden on 9/11 but a movie on the other 9/11. COVER UP”
Bingo! I watched this weasel say that.
He probably knew/knows more about al Queda than al Queda members do.
He was lying like all democrats do to protect these scummy and reprehensible actions like what was done to cover up what happened in Bengazi.
Whenever I attend a protest, I always try to bring along a couple of RPG’s and heavy machine guns, don’t you?
Mukasey also said Morell should be asked to explain his post-CIA career decisions which closely align him with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s aides. After retiring from the CIA, Morell joined Beacon Global Strategies as a counselor.Fox News was first to report on the connections between Beacons founding partners, Morell, Clinton and the House Intelligence Committee.
Morell, who also is a national security analyst for CBS News and has a book deal, joined the Beacon firm after retiring from the CIA last year. In doing so, he joined an organization already stacked with ex-government officials. Among them is Philippe Reines, whom the New York Times magazine recently described as Clinton’s “principal gatekeeper.” According to Beacons website, Reines traveled to more than 110 countries with the then-Secretary of State as part of her senior team.
Another employee, Jeremy Bash, was a former chief of staff to Leon Panetta at both the CIA and Defense Department. Andrew Shapiro was a Clinton policy adviser at the State Department whose portfolio included ridding Libya of shoulder-launched missiles called MANPADs.
And it includes Republican J. Michael Allen, who was a former majority staff director for the House Intelligence Committee, headed by Republican Rep. Mike Rogers.

Beacon Global Strategies LLC (BGS) is a Washington, DC-based strategic advisory firm founded by partners Michael Allen, Jeremy Bash, Philippe Reines, and Andrew Shapiro in 2013.[1][2] According to the firm’s website, Beacon Global Strategies specializes in matters of international policy, foreign affairs, national defense, cyber, intelligence, and homeland security.[3]
About BGS[edit]
A September 2013 article in Defense News, describes Beacon Global Strategies as unique for a Washington consulting firm because of its partners’ intent to eventually return to government. The article noted that “Part of the confidence in future public service may stem from a combination of significant titles and relative youth, paired with the fact that most of the founders of the firm have ties to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who may be a presidential favorite heading into the 2016 election if she decides to run.”[1]
A September 2013 Washington Post profile of Beacon Global Strategies highlighted the firms bipartisan make up: We want to build bipartisan support for solutions to complex national security problems, Bash said, noting that cooperation between Democrats and Republicans on these issues has been lacking in recent years.[4]
BGS Leadership[edit]
Before founding Beacon Global Strategies, the four partners served in a variety of government positions:
Michael Allen served as Majority Staff Director of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI), under Chairman Mike Rogers (R-MI) from 2011-2013.[5] He previously served in the George W. Bush White House.[6] Allen is the author of “Blinking Red: Crisis and Compromise in American Intelligence after 9/11” (Potomac Books Inc. September 2013).[7]
Jeremy Bash was the only Obama Administration official to have served as Chief of Staff in two national security departments or agencies: first as Chief of Staff to the Director of the CIA (2009-2011) and most recently as Chief of Staff to the Secretary of Defense (2011-2013).[8][9] Philippe Reines is a long-time Senior Advisor to former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.
From 2009-2013, Reines served as the Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Strategic Communications and Senior Communications Advisor.[10] Reines served from 2002-2009 as Senior Advisor & Press Secretary for Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton.[11]
Andrew Shapiro is the former and longest serving Senate confirmed United States Assistant Secretary of State for Political-Military Affairs (2009-2013).[12] During the presidential transition of Barack Obama, Shapiro was a member of the Obama-Biden Department of Defense Agency Review Team, and during the 2008 presidential election, a member of Hillary Clinton’s campaign, advising on foreign affairs.

WASHINGTON Consulting groups are routinely a place where former public servants are put out to pasture, a last stop to conclude careers built on senior government positions. But a group of former senior officials is building a new firm, Beacon Global Strategies, while retaining an additional goal.
They all want to go back into government.
Part of the confidence in future public service may stem from a combination of significant titles and relative youth, paired with the fact that most of the founders of the firm have ties to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who may be a presidential favorite heading into the 2016 election if she decides to run.
Sorry - I am in nd out here. Missed that.
Oh yeah, Morrell was promised a job for Hillary as long as he lies well.
I have also been think that Intelligence analysts for CIA must have learned their skills at the PeeWee Herman school for CIA analysts.
Ruppersburger actually asks “What difference does it make?”
O.M.G.
Morell testified today that he circulated #Benghazi talking points to WH for "final coordination." Previously testified no "coordination"
Questions from Democrats to Morrell fixed ? When the Democrat asks a question Morrell reads from something in front of him and they also talk like buddies
And Rogers asked him that TWICE.
One thing is certain, this guys testimony is coordinated with the democrats.
“The Republicans have no teeth.”
Teeth? They have no gums.
Democrats alway looking for a way to go forward and make sure it never happens again..........
Idiots, how about getting to the core of the problem instead of coveting up for this administration.
I know I am still waiting for someone to really challenge this guy. So far, I don’t see it.
