Release Obama’s Benghazi intelligence briefings
WaPo ^ | Monday, May 5, | Marc A. Thiessen,

Posted on 05/05/2014 9:12:23 PM PDT by LeoWindhorse

President Obama claims he was only repeating what the intelligence community told him when his administration asserted that the attack in Benghazi began with a spontaneous protest inspired by an Internet video. If that’s the case, there is a simple way to prove it: Give the new congressional select committee investigating Benghazi his daily intelligence briefings that show exactly what he was told.

There is precedent for doing so. In 2004, at the request of the 9/11 Commission, President George W. Bush declassified and publicly released the President’s Daily Brief (PDB) delivered to him before the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. No sitting president had ever declassified a PDB while still in office. But Bush did it anyway.

Obama doesn’t even read his daily briefings half the time.

If Obama is forced to release them it will be Bush’s fault!

Poetic Justice, you gotta love it!

Does anyone have a link to the original CIA intelligence report with 25 bullet points which were reduced to 5 points the-terrorists-didn’t-do-it by the White House?

President Bush had no problem with it. EVERY intelligence agency in the world thought Saddam had WMD prior to the invasion, a FACT the complete liars on the Left dispute to this day, despite its being a matter of worldwide record.

That is approximately where this insane, “Well, despite the actual facts, we don’t see it that way, so facts be damned” began on the part of the Left. This would be viewed as laughably juvenile but for the complicity of the media.

Bush respected the separation of powers and the role of the peoples house. Obama doesn’t give a feces about either.

Yes. Big Media and the Democrats (but I am being redundant) promoted Joe Wilsons’s ‘fact-finding tour’ in Africa. Every Intelligence Agency KNEW there were WMDs, but a Dem with an agenda derailed the truth. The WMDs ended in Syria where they have now been combined and used. The corruption exposed in this Admin would reach to the moon and back if we had a non-partisan Media and an AG who actually enforced LAWS!

if john McCain was president and I was a journalist, and he was knee deep in scandal, and my choice was support him and see the gop as a whole muddied, or, torpedo him and clear the way for the next gop candidate, I would clear the way.

What the leftists fail to face is that even one shell was proof.
And our soldiers ran into four.
Three mustard gas shells turned into ieds, one binary chemical mix in flight satin IED.
The last one was a shell of a type Iraq was not known to have prior to the inspectors being kicked out.
Was listed in the Duelfer report.
Which has seemingly been scrubbed from the net as my link to it no longer works...

No way will notes of those briefings (if the Bamster was even present at them) will see the light of day.

Because the Demonrats are so totally invested in this fraud. They foisted him upon the country with full knowledge of what he was and what he wasn't.
