Michael Morell: No cover-up on Benghazi
Politico ^ | April 2, 2014 | By LUCY MCCALMONT

Posted on 04/02/2014 9:33:54 AM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

Former CIA Director Michael Morell denied there was any cover-up or political influence in messaging of the 2012 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi.

“We did not deliberately down play the role of terrorists in the Benghazi attack in our analysis or in the talking points,” Morell said during a House Intelligence Committee hearing Wednesday.

“And neither I, nor anyone else at the agency deliberately misled anyone in Congress about any aspect of the tragedy in Benghazi,” Morell added.

Follow up question should be "Did you or anyone else at the agency unintentionally mislead anyone in Congress?"

Will not be asked because the EXEMPT special class
does not care. THE EXEMPT WANTED al Qaeda armed,
and THE EXEMPT WANTED the borders open for their penetration.

That’s it exactly. They are exempt.

So far.

“So I believed what my analysts said, that there was a protest. I also believed it to be a terrorist attack. You see, we never, we never saw those two things as mutually exclusive and so, I believed both of those at the same time,” Morell said....So his neighbor called and said his wife had a flat tire but the State Police called and said she was killed in an accident? Who to believe? I’ll just go to Las Vegas tomorrow and let someone hang.

Benghazi was all about a swap, Stevens for the Blind Sheikh, that was the plan from the beginning..but when the other three brave men appeared Obama basically just said F them and let them all die..they had ruined his plan of looking like a hero

Wasn’t this even staged using a static aircraft and empty caskets?

Wouldn’t be surprise to see Rogers follow his lead.

Joe diGenova tells WMAL GOP Congressman Mike Rogers (MI-8) is trying to kill Benghazi Investigation

Speaking with Larry O’Connor and guest host Christine O’Donnell, Joe diGenova tells WMAL that GOP Congressman Mike Rogers (MI-8) is trying to kill the Benghazi Investigation.

It is so bad, that even John Boehner has taken Mike Rogers to task for his lack of action. Audio of the interview will be provided later.

FBI group: Mike Rogers for director

GOP Intel chairman talks about potential CIA director job

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-politics/wp/2013/06/14/mike-rogers-wont-run-for-the-senate-in-michigan/

Rogers has been mulling a run for months, but signs emerged in recent weeks that he would not enter the race. His brother said in a recent interview that he didn’t expect the congressman to run. The National Republican Senatorial Committee has not met with him recently. And Rogers would be giving up a plum perch as chair of the House Intelligence Committee if he ran for the Senate — a position that affords him increased prominence considering the recent revelations about the National Security Agency’s sweeping surveillance efforts

From the beginning I, and probably 90% of the people who really cared knew that this was not the result of a protest. If this man truly did not know that, he is too stupid to be functional in the CIA. If he did know that, he is a liar and still does not belong in the CIA.
Let’s be honest. How many people did not know from the beginning that this was a planned attack? Think this clown didn’t know?

MICHAEL J. MORELL LIAR
There is an active libtard core of people who have self promoted and advanced without ever producing anything. Diligent hard working people are shunted aside while libtard ass kissers get promoted, without ever producing ANYTHING USEFUL, and drag their like-thinking libtard lackeys up the ladder with them.

The STATION CHIEF’s word is GOSPEL in the CIA.

Morell says he used the input of analysts to reverse the input of the station chief.. WHY??????? Other than obvious political motivation,.... seek out the self serving opinion of a desk jockey over the facts reported by eyes at the scene...the station chief.

MICHAEL J. MORELL is a desk jockey analyst.. he never worked an op or spent a day in the field for 30 years... However being at Langley gives one the time to produce NOTHING, but plenty of time to politic. And his tenure was pure POLITICS.

He is another sorry sack of shit who ass kissed and ass sniffed his was to the top. Part of the rotten core in DC.

Oh, I forgot! CNN has better info than CIA on the ground. Looks like Obama/Clinton are going to get away with the negligent murder of an Ambassador. This is very depressing.
