Republicans have charged that the State Department under Hillary Clinton was trying to protect itself from criticism. The White House released the real emails late Wednesday. Here’s what we found when we compared them to the quotes that had been provided by Republicans.One email was written by deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes.On Friday, Republicans leaked what they said was a quote from Rhodes: “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.”But it turns out that in the actual email, Rhodes did not mention the State Department.It read: “We need to resolve this in a way that respects all of the relevant equities, particularly the investigation.”Republicans also provided what they said was a quote from an email written by State Department spokesman Victoria Nuland.The Republican version quotes Nuland discussing, “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 actual email from Nuland says: “The penultimate point could be abused by members to beat the State Department for not paying attention to Agency warnings.”
and voila, here it is, think for a second since late 2008, we have heard all the condemnation and accusation from the republicans about Benghazi and which ever one te could blame it prematurualy on, Pres. as a get even, Hilary as a beat down for 2016 and n the midst of all the red meat and flame throwing you would have thought the meat would have cooked till done, but as usual no heat fails to cook even lies are half done.
Sure, this is hardly a surprise, but there is a vast difference between suspecting something and having it established as fact. It's worth noting, because it matters that Republicans were the lying leak.The GOP had the original emails, as reported by Mother Jones on Monday. The Republican interim report included the correct version of the emails:In that April interim report on Benghazi (which Buck noted)*, the House Republicans cited these emails (in footnotes 56 and 57) to note an important point: "State Department emails reveal senior officials had 'serious concerns' about the talking points, because Members of Congress might attack the State Department for 'not paying attention to Agency warnings' about the growing threat in Benghazi."This means that Republicans altered the emails on purpose in order to fit their narrative.Why are Republicans refusing to allow public testimony by the co-chairs of the Benghazi report? The answer is that their testimony does not fit the propaganda Republicans are selling. This should alarm the public. It is unacceptable.Who is going to investigate Republicans to find the lying leak? We've wasted months on their lies, and untold amounts of taxpayer money. Still, the press never learns to exercise a wee bit of caution when a Republican comes calling with tall tales that somehow manage to paint Obama as being Bush and Nixon.
looks like they are batting 1,000 or are the 0 for 1,000? just remembering the right wing saying how Pres. lies and all the witch hunting that hasn't revealed a broom straw or a Black cat hair or a boiling cauldron. just video of the unrighteous right going after their manufactured untruths, common sense would dictate you'll never find it only the trail you leave to create it. but that's common sense.
