Sheryl Attkisson, Frozen Out of CBSNews for Reporting Actual News, Reports on the Benghazi Hearings on Twitter
— Ace

A lot of important stuff reported on Twitter, and in article format on her website.

There is a maze of contradictory testimony. First, Petraeus said the FBI, not the CIA, removed the references to "al Qaeda" and "terrorists."

Mike Morrel, Petraeus' former number two, admitted on Tuesday it had been the CIA, not the FBI, who deleted these references.






Within hours of Morrel's statement, CIA officials "corrected" it, stating that it was their belief CIA officials had deleted the references, not the FBI.

Morrel claims this was some kind of error on his part.

But how could Morrel erroneously think the FBI was deleting references to "al Qaeda" and "terrorism" when it was his own CIA doing so, and when he knew that he himself had deleted references to previous "warnings" of a coming terrorist attack?





But if you're worried that Morell might be out of a job due to all these "errors" he makes when preparing Talking Points for Susan Rice or in his Congressional testimony, don't sweat it for him.

He's doing okay.


There's more in the collection of Tweets I linked first.

From her article about this:

Under questioning from members on the committee, Morell described a process under which C.I.A. analysts in Washington provided an early assessment without seeking or receiving information from the many C.I.A. officers and other witnesses on the ground in Libya. And when the C.I.A. Tripoli station chief attempted to correct the record in an email to headquarters on Sept. 15, 2012, Morell says it was discounted as unreliable. According to Morell, the email claimed the attacks were “not an escalation of a protest.” However, Morell said that intel relied on press reports and C.I.A. officers on sight who probably would have arrived too late to see a protest anyway.

Emphasis added.

Morrell decided the actual people on the ground would "probably" have arrived too late to see the attack, so he ignored their attempt to clarify that this wasn't a "protest," and stuck with his Washington DC analysts.


...

Morell did acknowledge personally removing the word “Islamic” from the phrase “Islamic extremists” in the talking points and says he did it for two reasons: so as not to further inflame passions in the Islamic world and because “what other kind of extremists are there in Libya?”

Morell also explained why he removed language that his own agency had included in the talking points disclosing that the C.I.A. had provided “warnings” in advance of the attacks. Morell differed with his boss, then C.I.A. Director David Petraeus, who wanted the warning language included.

“I reacted very strongly to inclusion of the warning language,” Morell testified. “I thought it was an effort on the C.I.A.’s part to make it look like we had warned and shift any blame to the State Department…I made a decision at that moment I got the talking points I was going to take the… language out.”

Indeed, one State Department source says they felt the C.I.A. warning language was “throwing them under the bus.” The references were removed. It was left unexplained as to why Morell was calling the shots, subordinate to his boss, Petraeus who wanted the warning language included.

I'd like to hear Petraeus testify on this point, in light of Morrell's fresh disclosures. Representative Peter King characterized Petraeus as "passive" in the shaping of the talking points. I'm wondering if Petraeus had much to do with it at all, or just assigned it to his Deputy, Morrell.

Oh, and Morrell isn't just with an Obama and Hillary connected communications firm now.

CBS froze out Attkisson, but they did make space in their roster to hire a consultant.



After retiring from the C.IA. last year, Morell was hired as counsel to Beacon Global Strategies, a communications firm operated primarily by former Obama administration and Hillary Clinton officials. He also became a consultant for CBS News.

For a guy hired for his "communications" skills, Morell sure seems to make a lot of errors in communicating.

The problem is that's what the rest of the media wants.  If she gets hired by Fox News most of the country won't listen to her because of the Left's constant drumbeat of how evil it is.  It's not us who needs to hear it, it's the rest of the country that needs to.

35 Morell stated that he believed it was the FBI that removed the references "to prevent compromising an ongoing criminal investigation."

From what I know about the FBI, this is entirely consistent with their mindset.  The fact that they weren't on the ground in Benghazi soon enough to conduct a proper investigation, and didn't interview people who claimed to be part of the attack was almost certainly political blowback from locals and Washington. 

Besides which, is anyone going to investigate who chose not to pre-place response teams on the eve of 9/11?  Is anyone going to nail down Hillary! for reducing security on site to contractors?  Is anyone going to find out the full story around relieving officers of duty for attempting to send help?  And who the bloody hell was orchestrating responses from the White House while Obama was tucked in bed?

To me the who chose to lie to the people about the nature of the attacks is not even close to the central issue.

Yet no one is in jail yet and all Congress does is send more strongly worded letters requesting more redacted documents. Fuck it. At this point I am through blaming Democrats. I expect this behavior from them and they reward each other for it. Republicans should be hung from lampposts for watching it all happen and doing nothing but put on political theater.

83 But then why compromise an ongoing investigation by saying it was all due to a Video?

I think the FBI has some behaviors deeply ingrained.  Their attitude that one must not release any information is one of those behaviors.  Protecting the information was reflexive.  The other actions they undertook that compromised the investigation were politically pressured and almost certainly not undertaken by field agents.

90 Morell did acknowledge personally removing the word “Islamic” from the phrase “Islamic extremists” in the talking points and says he did it for two reasons: so as not to further inflame passions in the Islamic world and because “what other kind of extremists are there in Libya?” That doesn't even make any sense. Oh we don't want to inflame passions by calling you what everyone knows you are. Fuckity mcfuckerson. Here I thought I was operating at a reasonably level of cynicism in not being surprised that he was hired by a Clinton associated firm and then it turns out that I was a few quarts low on cynicism by being shocked that he is a CBS News consultant.

92 more from Ms Herridge Morell, who also is a national security analyst for CBS News and has a book deal, joined the Beacon firm after retiring from the CIA last year. In doing so, he joined an organization already stacked with ex-government officials. Among them is Philippe Reines, whom the New York Times magazine recently described as Clinton's "principal gatekeeper." According to BeaconÂ’s website, Reines traveled to more than 110 countries with the then-Secretary of State as part of her senior team. Another employee, Jeremy Bash, was a former chief of staff to Leon Panetta at both the CIA and Defense Department. Andrew Shapiro was a Clinton policy adviser at the State Department whose portfolio included ridding Libya of shoulder-launched missiles called MANPADs. And it includes Republican J. Michael Allen, who was a former majority staff director for the House Intelligence Committee, headed by Republican Rep. Mike Rogers.

94 Disclosure forms, obtained by Fox News from the congressional clerk's office and written in Allen's handwriting, state that he filed with the ethics panel in July -- almost three months after Beacon registered. Fox News asked Allen when he began informal discussions with Beacon, as opposed to formal negotiations for employment, and whether at the time of Morell's May 2013 testimony, Allen was aware the former deputy director of the CIA might join Beacon. In light of Morell's upcoming testimony, and given the apparent discrepancy between Morell's November 2012 and May 2013 testimony before the House Intelligence Committee, Fox News also asked Allen what steps he took to further investigate whether Morell had misled lawmakers.

103 from the company to Herridge as to the timing of the firms creation, Morrells hiring process, and his testimony As for the timeline: this company was formally created by the three original partners in April of 2013. Mr. Allen was approached at the end of June, at which point he filed a ‘Notification of Negotiations or Agreement for Future Employment’ with the US House of Representatives Committee on Ethics. He subsequently filed a ‘Statement of Recusal’ with the same committee. Upon accepting the offer to join the firm in July, he promptly and fully disclosed such to Congressional officials. Mr. Morell was not approached until November. Therefore, nobody could have been influenced by events that were not yet planned and had not yet occurred."

"She frankly is not welcome here in San Diego by so many of us, and we don’t want her,” said Jan Iverson, an opponent of Clinton’s possible presidential plans due to her role in Benghazi’s security lapse.

Pat Smith, whose son Sean Smith was killed in the Sept. 11, 2012 terrorist attack at the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, is also at the center of the protest.

So, she's speaking via satellite, instead.

198 A leading Republican on the House oversight committee is asking Attorney General Eric Holder why the FBI probe into former CIA Director David Petraeus apparently remains open 16 months after he resigned from the agency following an affair with his biographer. Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, pressed Holder on the matter in a letter, which was reviewed by Fox News -- and suggested the probe is being left open to keep Petraeus "quiet" on issues like the Benghazi terror attack. "My understanding is that, as of today, the investigation into General Petraeus, is still ongoing. Why is the investigation still ongoing? When will the investigation conclude? What are the issues still in question?" he wrote. In a separate interview, Chaffetz told Fox News that Holder had promised to answer a series of questions regarding the FBI investigation following a May 2013 hearing -- including on when Holder first knew about the investigation into one of the nation's most senior intelligence officials, when he notified the president, and at what point Petraeus likely knew he was under scrutiny. However, Chaffetz said he has not heard back.

"One gets the impression that these miscreants figure that a Republican will never serve in the presidency again."

I'm afraid you're right. Between the partisan press, the praetorian-guard bureaucracy, the crony-capitalist economy, the dependency on government largesse of an increasingly large portion of the population, the indoctrination of the young by the educational establishment, the lawlessness of the Democratic Party, and the ineptitude of the country-club Republicans who run the party, I just don't see how a Republican can be elected to the presidency.

226 The Palestinians have compiled a new list of demands for the continuation of peace talks, ranging from the release of some 1,200 Palestinian prisoners to a written commitment by Israel accepting the Palestinian state along the 1967 border with East Jerusalem as its capital. Follow Ynetnews on Facebook and Twitter The list was presented to the PLO Thursday by Chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat and Mohammed Al-Aalul, a Fatah central committee member, and indicated a hardening of positions by the Palestinians as talks falter. The list of demands are: A written commitment by Prime Minister Benjamin Netnayahu that the borders of the Palestinian state will be along the 1967 'green-line' and that its capital will be East Jerusalem. The release of 1,200 Palestinian prisoners, including political heavyweights Marwan Barghouti, Ahmed Saadat and Fuad Shubkhi. An end to the Egyptian-Israeli blockade on Gaza, and the formulation of dealing allowing the flow of goods into Gaza. A halt in construction in East Jerusalem. The IDF will not be allowed to enter Area A – the area of the West Bank under autonomous PA control since the Oslo Accords – to conduct arrests or assassinations Israel will permit the PA control over Area C – currently under Israel's control. The Palestinians known as the Church of Nativity deportees – a group of terrorist who barricaded themselves in the Church of the Nativity on April 2, 2002 and were later deported to European nations and the Gaza Strip – will be allowed to return to the West Bank. The reopening of a number of Palestinian development agencies Israel shut down. Ah fuck you and another foreign policy victory for obama/kerry. they totally fuck up everything they touch.

240 Does Carney even hold press briefings anymore? Or has everybody just stopped paying attention to him?

241 Why, it's almost as though the political people in Washington had some big political thing scheduled in the six-to-eight week time frame after the Benghazi attacks (say, the first week in November, 2012), and didn't want people to get the wrong idea about the guy who was bragging that "Al Qaeda's most wanted guy was dead and GM was alive".

I wonder what political event happened around that time?

I'm stumped...

(PS: Has that video maker all those "spontaneous protests" were about ever been released from prison? The MSM doesn't seem to mention it...)

"For a guy hired for his "communications" skills, Morell sure seems to make a lot of errors in communicating."

 

Making a lot of convenient errors is the key to success in that business.  Personal success that is.  These crimilidiots are killing their organizations.

Those aren't errors.

245 "He also became a consultant for CBS News."

Good Lord.

I know it's late in the thread, but...this is incredible.

1. First, put out The Lie.
2. Deny, deny, deny.
3. Change stories and details later.
4. Smile and walk away from all the confusion.

 

All made possible by a compliant media that works for the Democrats and says they work for America.

248 They should've thrown her out. The function of the news divisions of the three majors, CNN, et al is to be propaganda operations. Jack Webb and Bob Hope tried to get financing for a fourth (non leftist) network way back when. Obviously the effort failed......and is on e of the key reasons that the nation has gone left for the past five decades. Don't know the stats now, but back then 90% of the public got 90% of their news on the evening broadcasts.

249 Atkisson is nothing but another vapid blonde RethugliKKKan whore. I'm sure she has a bright future on Faux News in their stable of telepromptered bimbos.
