More Details on Benghazi Talking Points Emerge
ABC ^ | May 14, 2013 | Jonathan Karl

CNN’s Jake Tapper this afternoon obtained a version of the same White House e-mail I reported on last week that showed the evolving Benghazi talking points being shaped by the Obama administration last September.

That e-mail, authored by then-Deputy National Security Adviser for Strategic Communications Ben Rhodes on the evening of Sept. 14, 2012, reads, according to CNN:

The attention gets distracted to which version of the WH email as the more authentic cover up.

At this point, nobody should trust anything coming out of the WH, WH exclusive emails, or which news media says they have the more exclusive stuff.

They are all lies, they all lied to the American public.

By playing ABC against CNN with the email ‘controversy’, the WH is giving Benghazi legs with MSM and liberals.

i agree with @jonkarl — the WH should release the full emails. If there’s “no ‘there’ there,” as POTUS said, shouldnt be a problem.

Karl is saying that his source says that the email that Tapper ran with is one message in a long CHAIN

Thanks onyx. This is confusing, but I guess what it means is that the WH is cherry picking, right? I just know how it goes, these clowns dirty the water and it becomes so convoluted that people give up.

Right. Tapper got punked.

But, it is backfiring on the WH as now both Tapper and Karl are requesting a full release of the emails.

Just know the WH is full of it.
Everything that comes from them is not believable.

Everything the White Hut has been doing so far has dug the hole deeper in the long run.

I fully expect the trend to continue.

Who's holding up swift action, which is needed with the momentum going our way?

John Boehner is his name.

Don't underestimate his ability to screw this all up by inaction and stalling.

I’m getting a little concerned that too much attention is being focused on the Talking Points, and not enough on other aspects of the Benghazi scandal. The changes to the Talking Points, and who oredered Susan Rice to say what she said on the Sunday news programs is important. However, we also need to know the whereabouts of Obama after he took that initial phone call, and who ordered the military to stand down.

I agree. I think I heard that Issa’s committee is going to hear from Pickering and Mullen next. That’s about the ARB of the State Department and kind of irrelevant at this point.

Complete copy of Treasury Report on IRS targeting of Tea Party and conservatives

http://legalinsurrection.com/2013/05/complete-copy-of-treasury-report-on-irs-targeting-of-tea-party-and-conservatives/

Note: Make sure you compare it to the earlier, heavily redacted ABC version posted on FR earlier. (If they followed the usual MO, it’s probably been changed and we can find something in-between, as in the talking points fiasco).

OT: Your bonus daily what the?
