E-mails show White House support for bin Laden movie

Newly released e-mails show the Obama administration was eager to help the makers of an upcoming documentary on the dramatic raid that led to the death of Osama bin Laden - and the e-mails are likely to once again raise questions about whether the filmmakers had special access.

The records from the CIA and Defense Department were made public Tuesday by the conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch in response to a Freedom of Information Act request.

(snip)

According to the e-mails, meetings were set up at the CIA, first with Public Affairs Director George Little and Chief of Staff Jeremy Bash and later with CIA Deputy Director Mike Morell.

On July 17, 2011, Haft wrote to Little, “Mr. Morell gave them 40 minutes.. talked some of the substance again, told them we’re here to help with whatever they need.”

Completely unacceptable to send the second man.

"I think" it's possible Petraeus told the Marxist he wasn't going to participate in the cover-up anymore, so they threw him under the bus, by ruining his reputation; --- try to discredit his reliability so when he testifies, he can be called into question.

OTOH, his resignation letter is dated today and that's very troublesome. He should have submitted it well before the election.

THAT would have been the honorable thing to do.

Also, remember Petreaus was not forthright in his first briefing to the House members? That he spoke about the idiot video and spontaneous mobs?

On the radio station KFI 640 in Los Angeles last weekend one of the talk show hosts said after the election the word was in the CIA that someone high up in the government was going to resign because of the Bengazi mess. Except the talk show host thought it was likely to be Panetta unless I heard him wrong. Not surprised at all.

That’s my suspicion, too, -— the rats did not schedule Gen P., on purpose. Deal cut with White House.

What’s the back story on Morell? I see that James (vomit) Clapper will be in attendance at the closed hearing.

Perhaps he got to the point where he was unwilling to be blackmailed further and decided to pull the trigger on himself.

“When I was in the Army,I heard that Generals from all over the world got together one week a year and it was nothing but Booze and Hookers.”

Not only Generals. I know a woman whose husband, an officer, was stationed In Thailand fo a year. He blamed being drunk for his cheating with hookers when she found out about it.

She’s talking about GenP’s previous briefings to Congress regarding “the video” and mobs!

Oh, you betcha, the Republicans want answers about that!

No wonder the Rats did not schedule him!!!!

Then the logical conclusion would be that, despite an attempt to besmirch his reputation, he will blow the whistle anyway. If he testified before the Senate he could be a loose cannon as far as the admin was concerned. BUT that won’t stop him from testifying in the House or even coming forward on his own in the media. Here comes another book deal!

Just got home from work. While driving home I had Hannity on the radio- Mark Simone was subbing. He said the rumors are:

1- There is a SECURITY issue involving Petraeus, the mistress and possible computer access.

2- Petraeus KNOWS things that COULD BLOW Benghazigate sky high.

3- Dianne Feinstein did not want O to accept the resignation.

HHHHMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmm....

“WHY would Issa back off from having him testify???”

Pereaus was scheduled to testify in the SENATE hearing. Issa is with the HOUSE committee hearings.

What the HECK does resigning mean he can’t testify?

Further news reports say that the Senate and House committees will still want to hear from him, but they are delaying that until later while he and his wife go through this "difficult time".

Still more to be learned, I'm sure.
