April 03, 2014
— 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.
But today, Morell testified under oath that it was the CIA that removed “al Qaeda” and that he, personally, made other edits.
— Sharyl Attkisson (@SharylAttkisson) April 3, 2014
Morell didnÂ’t offer this info when asked by Congress in earlier private and public appearances.
— Sharyl Attkisson (@SharylAttkisson) April 3, 2014
Then, later in Nov. 2012, Morell provided yet another account. In a meeting w/ Rep. Senators McCain (R-AZ), Graham (R-SC) and Ayotte (R-NH),
— Sharyl Attkisson (@SharylAttkisson) April 3, 2014
Morell stated that he believed it was the FBI that removed the references "to prevent compromising an ongoing criminal investigation."
— Sharyl Attkisson (@SharylAttkisson) April 3, 2014Within 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?
Morell also acknowledged removing the talking points disclosure that CIA had provided “warnings” to the State Dept. prior to the attacks.
— Sharyl Attkisson (@SharylAttkisson) April 3, 2014
Morell went against his own agency on this point in defense of Secy of State Hillary ClintonÂ’s State Department.
— Sharyl Attkisson (@SharylAttkisson) April 3, 2014
Morell said he felt the CIA was thumping its chest and unfairly heaping blame on the State Dept.
— Sharyl Attkisson (@SharylAttkisson) April 3, 2014But 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.
Morell has now been hired by a PR firm operated primarily by former Hillary Clinton and Obama administration officials.
— Sharyl Attkisson (@SharylAttkisson) April 3, 2014There'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.

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.

And by "hired by a PR firm" we should all read:

The fix is in. 2016 will see the MSM propaganda machine working overtime to elect the first woman president, and to cover up her incompetence.
That work will involve so much effort they won't be able to notice all the voter fraud occurring in swing states.

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.

Yes, b/c when you're talking about a terrorist attack in which 4 Americans were killed -- including our ambassador -- the LAST thing you want is for one agency to hurt another agency's feelings during the investigation.
What a fucking joke.

You'd think so, but the more I watch Islamic people, the more I believe they are completely and utterly insane. They exploded when some people published cartoon depictions of Muhammad, but anytime an infant is horribly butchered or a young woman has acid thrown in her face they don't give a goat dropping.

They won't care, they just want the lies to not be revealed to the liv's , They help hide the information from those that might be able to make a wise decision if they actually want to know the truth.
as we have seen human lives are negotiable and meaningless for team Progressive.
Even Stevens ,Smith their own Team members .etc
I'm sure they didn't mind giving their lives up for team progressive?

style of investigative journalism without regard to political
affiliation. I adore her for it but many will forget that she's doing
what she's supposed to be doing once the GOP is in office.
Ah, but you see, we on the right don't idolize our politicians (well, maybe Reagan, but it's REAGAN). We don't hold them up as the new Messiah. If there is something going on that smells funny, we want to know and we want it taken care of. Our egos are not so fragile that we can't stomach some sunlight.

"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.
Coward.

In theory, a large busted lady COULD maintain adequate blood supply to the brain as well as a set of ginormous sweater puppies IF she had a larger blood supply. That, of course, would require additional bone marrow.
However, since nobody here could possibly be classified as "big boned", the above theory is moot. I'll turn my keen scientific eye elsewhere, in search for an answer to this mystery inside a riddle, all wrapped in a conundrum.

So, let me get this straight--CIA officials had a "belief" that they had deleted the embarrassing references. They "believed" they might have done what they, in fact, did.
And yet the Liberal Democrat asses who talk this way will be reelected and reappointed. We're doomed.
Posted by: Null at April 03, 2014 09:27 AM (P7hip)
Wait ... Wait ... I think I got it.
The only other possible explanation is superior circulation. Chics with massive fun bags would literally have to be "big hearted".
My significant expertise in 80s soft-core porn, particularly regarding the popular "hooker with a heart 'o gold" meme of the time, lends some credence to the possibility.
More field study will be required.

"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.

Conflicting testimonies because keeping a lie this big straight is a pretty tough thing to do. Everyone is trying to cover their own ass, careers and their ties to this administration, meanwhile the loved ones of the 4 men killed live in anguish.
I submit that if you are cold and calculating enough to stand in front of coffins and grieving families and lie your ass off, then there isn't much else that you wouldn't do.
