7. Why did Gen. David Petraeus, as head of the CIA, allow his deputy, Mike Morell, to call the shots on development of the Benghazi talking points, removing references to prior warnings and terrorism that Petraeus had wanted included?
One of the unravelled mysteries surrounding the aftermath of Benghazi is why, as documents reveal, CIA Director Gen. Petraeus begrudgingly allowed his subordinate, Mike Morell, to overrule him on content of the Benghazi talking points.
Morell first denied to members of Congress that he played a key role. But later, after documents revealed it, Morell admitted he removed language that his own agency had included in the talking points disclosing that the C.I.A. had provided warnings in advance of the attacks. Morell differed with his boss, Petraeus, who wanted the warning language included.
I reacted very strongly to inclusion of the warning language, Morell testified to Congress last year in explaining the changes he made. He was asked to appear before Congress to clarify discrepancies in his accounts of the talking points. I thought it was an effort on the C.I.A.s part to make it look like we had warned and shift any blame to the State Department I made a decision at that moment I got the talking points I was going to take the language out.
It was left unexplained as to why Morell was put in the drivers seat. . .

I’ve got a question. Why isn’t Hillary in the stocks having feces thrown at her by gorillas? Will nobody be punished for getting these people killed?
Yep.
Our enemies caught Hillary and Obama stealing Qadaffi’s fortune. They told them to return the fortune. They wouldn’t. Our enemies then hit BENGHAZI. The Ambassador and the CIA employees became bargaining chips.
Where do you think that $6,000,000,000 “missing” from the State Department went? Why did Obama ship armored vehicles, weapons and night vision equipment to Libya where it was “stolen”?
Everybody in the world knows about the gun running operation in BENGHAZI. Why are the CIA employees still forbidden to speak?
Hillary and Obama would rather be thought of as incompetents and cowards than proven to be thieves and traitors.

EASY!!
Because Petraeus refused to take dictation from the Whitehouse!
Patraeus was for all purposes removed at that moment.
Morell may, or may not have, processed the White House narrative
Why are the CIA employees still forbidden to speak?
You presume a CIA grunt knew what was going on.
CIA grunt may have been given forged orders, and instructed to follow forged orders.
Once you post a fake Birth certificate to the WH website, and create fake SSN and Selective Service application, everything that follows is not a surprise.
Sharyl better watch out or Team Odumbo will commandeer her personal computer again to find out who she’s talking to.. Something criminal happened and they are STILL hell bent to stop it from coming out.
CIA grunts may know that they were goners and were ransomed.
Later
