Backfire: Networks Demand Release of Benghazi Emails
— Ace

Late last night I wrote about the White House's new claim -- that the Benghazi emails quoted by the media were "doctored." From Brad Woodhouse, Democrat Party Communications Director.


Want to know the real story?

I warned people off this spin today, reminding them of the fact that investigators were not permitted to make copies of the emails. They were only permitted to view them.

So of course there are going to be differences -- the White House is refusing to allow people to have the actual verbatim copies! All of these quotes come from a limited reading period and note-taking.

White House conclusion? They're doctoring emails!

Note the game they're playing -- they release one email, refusing to release the rest, just to quibble over phrasing in a quote of the email. And yet they themselves have it within their power to guarantee accurate quotes, by simply releasing the emails publicly. But they refuse to, citing, I imagine, "national security."

Which suddenly isn't such a very big concern when they have the opportunity to make a "doctored email" claim.

Well, it turns out that not even the media is stupid enough to fall for this tactic, and is now telling the White House to release all the emails.

Jake Tapper, who got a little burned and I would guess a little embarrassed by the White House's dishonest use of him, is similarly calling for the full emails to be released, and not just select snippets where the White House contrives a scandal out of a typo.

14 Omg these low level staffers are going insane. We know our president, who is at the same time the most awesome engaged intelligent man to ever hold the presidency and the most hands off delegating managerial and disengaged man to ever hold the presidency had nothing to do with this. Even though every thing that happened during these scandals helped Obama, it was all lower level staffers who just loved him too much. He had nothing at all to do with it.

Even if I were to believe    this was all the fault of two "rogue" employees, that does nothing to let the rest of the IRS off the hook.   Conservative groups complained about their treatment, and nothing was done.   Dems were out there    beating the drums, DEMANDING the IRS target conservatives, and nothing was done.  The Preezy himself joked about using the IRS against his enemies, and nothing was done.

 

They can try and make a couple of employees into fall guys, but every last one of them up the food chain to the Oval Office is guilty as sin.   If they didn't have their hand in the dealings directly they sure as hell offered their    passive, tacit approval.

Note the game they're playing -- they release one email, refusing to release the rest, just to quibble over phrasing in a quote of the email. And yet they themselves have it within their power to guarantee accurate quotes, by simply releasing the emails publicly. But they refuse to, citing, I imagine, "national security."

 

I swear, this administration is staffed by dolts.  Don't they remember when Nixon tried that with his redacted version of the tapes?  It didn't work then and it won't work now.

 

At least I hope.  I don't want to be back here next week watching the wild hornets nest of make-up sex between the JEF and his presstitutes.

 

And I'll say it again - going off Willow's comment -  any conservative candidate for 2014 and 2016 who doesn't make it a centerpiece of their campaign that the MFM is more than happy to cover up, smear and distort until it's their ox being gored doesn't deserve a single vote.

I wasn't aware that Maxine Waters had said this previously but in light of the scandals that are breaking it is even creepier than ever:

 

The President has put in place an organization that contains a kind of database that no one has ever seen before in life,” Representative Maxine Waters told Roland Martin on Monday. ”That’s going to be very, very powerful,” Waters said. “That database will have information about everything on every individual on ways that it’s never been done before and whoever runs for President on the Democratic ticket has to deal with that. They’re going to go down with that database and the concerns of those people because they can’t get around it. And he’s [President Obama] been very smart. It’s very powerful what he’s leaving in place.”

220 Remember one thing about Watergate: without a highly placed disgruntled FBI agent turning on Nixon because he didn't get the Director gig after Hoover, there would never have been any story.

The Obamites are all loyal and faithful as can be, yet they've got all of this coming down on them. Hopefully, history will recognize that this is a far worse collection of misdeeds and incompetence than anything that happened in the 70s.

"Requirements for recusal determination

226 >>My take. These scandels will go the way of Fast and Furious. Bogged down in "executive privilege" and the eventual lack of political aggrandizment. They'll be old news in two weeks. Not this time. Obama fucked with 2 organizations that he never should have touched, the IRS and the msm. Everybody hates and fears the IRS and wants to exact their pound of flesh. It doesn't matter that this was just conservative groups, everyone but the looney far left is pissed off about this one. And the msm feels betrayed by their boyfriend. Scorned lovers with unlimited pixels are not good enemies to have.
