The U.S. State Department on Thursday said there is “no evidence” that a “deliberately edited” videotape of its Dec. 2, 2013 State Department briefing was intended to “conceal information from the public,” even though someone requested the edit.

Spokesman John Kirby said a months-long internal investigation was unable to identify the person who asked for the edit: “And while the technician recalls receiving a phone call requesting the edit, there is no evidence to indicate who might’ve placed that call or why.”

“no evidence” - that means “we didn’t look very hard, and since we didn’t find anything, we hope you’ll take ‘no evidence’ as meaning it never happened”.....

The Redeye Radio guys said something last week that stuck with me. “Lying to the public is now standard government policy”.

“no evidence” that a “deliberately edited” videotape of its Dec. 2, 2013 State Department briefing 18 minutes of missing White House audio tape from July 18, 1973 was intended to “conceal information from the public,”

Remember this slight alteration from the story in this thread when speaking with any liberal puke if they defend the State Dept's position.

There is no reason to particularly request that editing EXCEPT to conceal information!!!!!!!

In a city of laughing stocks stands the grand dame of laughing stocks, the State Department. It is a bastion of silly people with silly degrees capable of nothing save useless actions easily countered by every third rate country in the world.

It is amazing that our government gets more corrupt every day. If they put the people in jail for the things they did there wouldn’t be anyone left in Washington.

This Government is as corrupt as any third world. And is getting worse.

I guess Obama wanted to be King of a country and he is succeeding, bu it is a third world country.

Funny how we always skip the second world and go right to the third. Obama’s a second-world kind of fellow too.

You can give Obama a break and consider second but his is a third world vision. Fascist to its core.
