One day after The White House released 100 pages of Benghazi emails, a report has surfaced alleging that Republicans released a set with altered text.
CBS News reported Thursday that leaked versions sent out by the GOP last Friday had visible differences than Wednesday's official batch. Two correspondences that were singled out in the report came from National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes and State Department Spokeswoman Victoria Nuland.
The GOP version of Rhodes' comment, according to CBS News: "We must make sure that the talking points reflect all agency equities, including those of the State Department, and we don't want to undermine the FBI investigation."
The White House email: "We need to resolve this in a way that respects all of the relevant equities, particularly the investigation."
The GOP version of Nuland's comment, according to CBS News: The penultimate point is a paragraph talking about all the previous warnings provided by the Agency (CIA) about al-Qaeda's presence and activities of al-Qaeda."
The White House email: "The penultimate point could be abused by members to beat the State Department for not paying attention to Agency warnings."
The news parallels a Tuesday CNN report which initially introduced the contradiction between what was revealed in a White House Benghazi email version, versus what was reported in media outlets. On Monday, Mother Jones noted that the Republicans' interim report included the correct version of the emails, signaling that more malice and less incompetence may have been at play with the alleged alterations.

Wait until the media starts it's 24 hour attacks against Trey Gowdy or whomever is chosen to head the special committee.
Ben Rhodes who never did anything notable before being appointed deputy national security advisor just happens to be the brother of David Rhodes who is President of CBS News.
Paging Freeper Buckhead.
Please answer the White courtesy phone.....
I was wondering when CBS would get around to the forged/falsified documents defense.
Considering the fact Dan Rather/CBS put out forged/falsified docs on Bush at the same time Bush was releasing the al Qaida docs. recovered in Afghanistan, the idea being get the issue of forgery front and center so if anyone raised questions about what was in those al Qaida docs. all they had to do was claim Bush had forged them.
Hay CBS, is this the al Qaida doc you want to convince everyone is a Bush forgery?

“Media is 90% of the preparation for the battle”
Haven’t been orchestrating news stories at the direction of Hillary Clinton as part of the “preparation” for the terrorist attacks now have you CBS?
Of course not, Hillary has told us the terrorist attacks are “spontaneous” there are no preparations.
I think this is going to be fun to watch. Love it when the enemy, of the People, is exposed and when the enemy dives into the plate of eggs all of their own doing. Leap right in lame-stream. Your eggs are ready. Yes, believe this will be fun to watch.
This is lame.
It wouldn’t surprise me if the administration turned over altered emails so they could present the originals down the road to “prove” tampering by the Repubs.
Isn't Rhodes related to someone in the CBS senior staff ?
Also, consider the source : Huffington Post
Probably designed to see if this pretense will get some legs and be carried elsewhere in the media.
Interesting that we are studying a "cover-up" of the "cover-up" !
Dan Rather must be back at CBS advising them on forgeries, since he is an expert.
This article is dated 2013.
I’m shocked they have investigative journalists left. These guys ought to be given pay-raises....among the few left at CBS.
Maybe we have one of those 1969 Selectric typewriters just as See-BS does.
Or not.
Old story but put out for a fresh frenzy. I know there was a story out there a while back.
Isn’t it the White House that keeps revising the monthly numbers?
Thank you (see my previous post) I didn’t bother looking at the date of the article. (I was a bad girl)

Judicial Watch came out with so many docs essentially immediately that it's unfathomable they had time even to consider making changes. Could someone there zero in on a potential smoking gun before many copies were made? Highly, highly unlikely.
If there be differing copies, the highly likely culprits are those who had unfettered custody of the docs for a long period of time.

For some reason it also says it was updated today.
Dude! That was over a year ago!
