ABC Releases Big Benghazi Report: Talking Points Changed 12 Times, Dramatically Edited..."
The Blaze ^ | May. 10, 2013 | Jonathon M. Seidl

Posted on 05/10/2013 9:27:54 PM PDT by LucyT

The talking points used by Amb. Susan Rice on the Sunday shows on the weekend after the 9/11/12 terror attack in Benghazi underwent at least 12 edits – including revisions by the Obama administration’s State Department — new emails obtained by ABC News show. Those revisions included scrubbing all references to an Al Qaeda-affiliated group and all references to previous CIA warnings about a terror threat.

From ABC:

When it became clear last fall that the CIA’s now discredited Benghazi talking points were flawed, the White House said repeatedly the documents were put together almost entirely by the intelligence community, but White House documents reviewed by Congress suggest a different story.

ABC News has obtained 12 different versions of the talking points that show they were extensively edited as they evolved from the drafts first written entirely by the CIA to the final version distributed to Congress and to U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Susan Rice before she appeared on five talk shows the Sunday after that attack.

Don’t trust the MSM. This is purely pre-emptive.... like the MSM saying shame, shame to Bill Clinton then changing the narrative to “everybody lies about sex,” and away from the underlying perjury in a civil rights, sexual harassment case.

The template is set, they are laying the groundwork for future spin to pull Obamas ass out of the fire.

None call it for what it was/is........treason

Drip, drip, drip....

I suspect that by midweek, the race cards will start coming out or we will be bombing the heck out of some country.

And which was it? If Obama was not involved, that means he was asleep in bed after being told the attack had started, and Valerie Jarrett was making all the decisions.
OR,, he was involved in the coverup.

Either way, he needs to be impeached.

What did the president know and when did he know it? He knew the ugly truth and knew it from the very beginning. His own incompetence, neglect, dereliction and gross failures got Americans killed and he and his lying minions decided to cover it up for political purposes. Impeach the bastard!!

Knew it from the beginning? Hell, he had to approve the classified activities going on over there before any of this happened.

Perhaps we shall have a new model for the Alphabets emerge over the next few weeks. It will be apparent. In the WH Press meeting today it took me back that even NBC Kristen whoever, don' watch the alphabets so I don't remember a lot of their so called reporter's names...... jumped into the young goons face at the podium.
I have used the phrase...."fingers snap". Perhaps a literal change might have occurred in the fifth column's support of the usurper. We shall see soon enough. But at what costs over the long haul.
