Republicans Altered Benghazi Emails, CBS News Report Claims [W:361]

“Sometimes I wrote off my own failings as just another example of the world trying to keep a black man down. I had a tendency to make excuses for me not doing the right thing. ... “we’ve got no time for excuses.”

Swear to God ... he cannot be shamed.

The irony is that the CIA talking points didn't talk about the video ... but Susan Rice did.
In addition, Petraeus thought they were so bad he wouldn't leave his fingerprints on them.
Yes, Obama loyalists musty be very proud of their guy ... very proud.

That is EXACTLY the point. The GOP released 'notes' not emails, there was no content to change as they DIDN'T HAVE COPIES TO CHANGE...you have to admit though it was quite an effective tactic as the Karl report was on Friday and WH released the ACTUAL emails on Monday, which they were reticent to do prior.

"We've got no time for excuses?" Nope! Using race to exploit and divide? Never!. Never let an opportunity pass by unused? Seldom! Oh, woe is me! :thumbdown:

This is nothing but trolling, and you support it which makes you part of it. It's irrelevant. Issa runs a committee looking into an administration targeting groups for partisan purposes, and it's all true. Disprove that.
 
so many words, so few links

and that's your problem

the email from ben rhodes (brother of cbs news president david) to jake tapper backfired

The Benghazi revisions, revisited - POLITICO.com

karl concludes: release ALL the emails

ben rhodes, by the way was the host of the saturday morning (the day before susan rice sunday) deputies meeting that edited out the truth ("islamic extremists with ties to al qaeda) while preserving the lie ("spontaneous demonstrations"), meanwhile mysteriously promoting to talking point #1 that vapid video which no one in the email chain remembered even to mention

so the administration next tried releasing 100 select pages of email chain in an attempt to absolve foggy bottom from its responsibilities, despite ms nuland's and mr sullivan's and mr vietor's fingerprints being all over it

this backhanded and rather banal gambit also backfired

it's probably cuz those newly unearthed nuggets included:

""the white house cleared quickly but state had major concerns"

"serious concerns about arming members of congress'

'why do we want the hill fingering ansar al sharia"

"could be abused by members to beat the state dept for not paying attention to warnings"

"will come back to us at podium"

victoria nuland, foggy bottom's equivalent of jay carney, hillary clinton's press spokesperson (what do you think is her exact expertise): "after conversation with [name redacted] serious concerns"

nuland: changes so far "didn't resolve all my issues or those of my building leadership"

nuland referred to "offline communications"

"john brennan will have edits"

"talk to tommy, we can have edits"

"state dept had major reservations with much or most of the document, we revised the document with their concerns in mind"

Not true. It's much harder to stay ignorant than you seem to think.

There is this link:

WH Benghazi emails have different quotes than earlier reported - CBS News
 
the recipient of the email in question writes:

The source was not permitted to make copies of the original e-mails. The White House has refused multiple requests – from journalists, including myself, and from Republican leaders in Congress – to release the full e-mail exchanges.

The differences in the two versions are being taken by some as evidence that my source sought to intentionally mislead about the extent of State Department involvement in changing the talking points. The version I obtained makes specific reference to the State Department, while the version reported by CNN references only “all of the relevant equities” and does not single out State. [...]

I asked my original source today to explain the different wording on the Ben Rhodes e-mail, and the fact that the words “State Department” were not included in the e-mail provided to CNN’s Tapper. This was my source’s response, via e-mail: “WH reply was after a long chain of email about State Dept concerns. So when WH emailer says, take into account all equities, he is talking about the State equities, since that is what the email chain was about.”

The White House could still clear up this confusion by releasing the full e-mail transcripts that were provided for brief review by a select number of members of Congress earlier this year. If there’s “no ‘there’ there,” as President Obama himself claimed yesterday, a full release should help his case.

why did victoria nuland push so hard for edits on behalf of her "building leadership"

whose name was redacted when ms nuland forwarded those "serious concerns'

why won't the white house release the chain?

why does the white house want the world to believe it's staffed by idiots?

stay tuned

Did Garret say the 'GOP released emails'? Further does he have proof? Or you? Or is he just falsely reporting just as Karl did?

He said quotes provided by Republicans
I don't know if he has proof.
I don''t have proof of anything about this, I think its a bunch of BS.
