Leaked Benghazi emails were edited

Ha,ha,ha! So now you are going to use semantics, just like the GOP used regarding "terrorist attacks" not being the same as "act of terror" - you are a piece of work indeed.

It doesn't matter if he presented them or released them. The Congressional investigators were able to view them, it's not like he was keeping the e-mails from them.

The Obama administration had up to now declined to make the documents public and had only let congressional investigators review the documents without making copies.
White House Releases Emails On Benghazi Attack

As for ABC getting it wrong, they need to respond to CNN.

CNN debunks ABC’s Benghazi ‘scoop’ with new email evidence
The actual email, from then-Deputy National Security Adviser for Strategic Communications Ben Rhodes, has turned out to be nothing of the sort, undermining the thrust of ABC’s story and the reasoning behind the latest hearings about Benghazi.

Last Friday, ABC claimed that the White House had rewritten the talking points on the attack on the American consulate in Benghazi twelve times and has scrubbed them of any references to terrorism.


The news organization breathlessly reported that, according to a source, the talking points were massaged to protect the interests of the White House, the CIA and the State Department, in particular those of then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. The Weekly Standard also published portions of an email that appeared damning to Clinton.

“The actual e-mail (from Rhodes) appears to show that whomever leaked it did so in a way that made it appear that the White House was primarily concerned with the State Department’s desire to remove references and warnings about specific terrorist groups so as to not bring criticism to the department,” Tapper wrote Tuesday.

Salon’s Joan Walsh wrote, “Significantly, the Rhodes email doesn’t even mention the controversial Benghazi talking points. Reporting by Stephen Hayes of the Weekly Standard paraphrased Rhodes’ email the same way – to depict him jumping in behind Nuland and protecting the interests of the State Department.”

According to Tapper, “Whoever provided those quotes seemingly invented the notion that Rhodes wanted the concerns of the State Department specifically addressed.”

The source for the ABC and Standard stories also singled out State Department spokesperson Victoria Nuland as being particularly demanding with regard to assuring that her leadership would not look negligent or inattentive to warnings signs and signals leading up to the attack. Tapper said that upon viewing the full email chain, Nuland was merely one of many officials expressing concerns about how their agencies would be viewed by the public.

Further, Walsh posited, “Presumably, someone changed Rhodes’ email before leaking it to Karl, but ABC News hasn’t replied to the scoop by Tapper (who used to work there). ”


CNN debunks ABC?s Benghazi ?scoop? with new email evidence | The Raw Story

Quick question, oh mighty idiot, if Obama actually released the emails to Congress why are they still asking for the emails? Did they not get the same memo you did?

First of all mighty idiot, do you have any links to show that they are still asking for the e-mails, or is that coming from the bubble-land Faux News media?

And, second, there is plenty of evidence that Congressional investigators were allowed to view the e-mails, maybe they weren't smart enough to report what they actually saw? Which wouldn't surprise me as it is the Republicans who are misinterpreting them.

The emails stand.

 

[mamooth]

You mean the emails stand as proof that the Republicans deliberately lied to their media suckups, and that their media suckups gleefully parroted the lies? That's the real scandal here. Only one party has been caught deliberately and shamelessly lying, and it's the Republicans. And the "liberal media" thinks that isn't worth a mention.

How retarded does a person have to be to not admit that at least ABC is an open GOP shill? ABC, the whole network, is still choosing to shield their lying Republican source. That clearly indicates where their allegiance lies.

So, let's compare the issues here.

We have at least two media networks in open collusion with the Republicans on a lying campaign.

We have the State Department and CIA arguing with each other on how to report the Benghazi news.

If you're a dishonest partisan shill, you'll claim #1 is not problem, but #2 is an impeachable offense. It's how GOP asslickers think.

It's Official: Those Bogus Email Leaks Came From Republicans

It's Official: Those Bogus Email Leaks Came From Republicans | Mother Jones

Now that we know a GOP congressional aide misleadingly edited — intentionally or not — Obama administration emails on the Benghazi attack, one wonders if he or she will face repercussions. There’s some precedent here. Former GOP Rep. Dan Burton used to hold Darrell Issa’s job as Chairman of the House Oversight Committee and used it to aggressively go after Bill Clinton on a host of controversies of various degrees of merit, much as Issa is doing now.

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.

Still waiting on a body count from Watergate,,,

Still waiting for proof that the President was involved in Benghazi cover up, as was Nixon in Watergate!

He gave the order to stand down..and watch 4 Americans die....just like the suppose bin laden(no pictures) kill. The Potus is the only one who can give orders in those circumstances via international(out side our borders).

Ha,ha, still no proof from the lying GOP side that Obama gave a stand down order.

What is sad is four people are dead and all you care about is as long as Obama and his closest insiders are protected, all is well.
This is not going away. Neither is the IRS issue and neither is the spying on a AP writers.

Your side will pay up.

Oh, spare me the fake concern. You sure didn't show any outrage over the 4000 Americans that died due to Bush's fuck up.

And, now, that it has been reported that the GOP edited the e-mails to make them seem as if the Obama Administration was trying to cover up something, you're going to have to change your dance-step - maybe start doing a jig cause the jig is up!

Funny, I missed CBS saying that the emails were altered. In fact, I just went back and listened, and what they actually said is that two of the quotes were inaccurate. Since no one claimed they were direct quotes because no one had the actual emails, and ABC said that they were working from a summary, it is pretty easy to see how someone might get a few details wrong.

Two details wrong, the gist of the emails supports the story, yet you want me to believe that the emails, which only the White House had, were altered.

Don't try to minimize what has been done here. Republicans altered the e-mails to correspond with the lies they have been saying about Benghazi. It is evident who the liar in this situation is, but the problem is that Republican/conservatives cannot admit when they are caught red-handed.

What was the point of the Republicans editing them and changing what they actually said if not to back up their lies?

Your down-playing of the intent of the altered text is rather transparent when you say they got two details wrong. They didn't get the details wrong, they added words to the text. Clearly the GOP was trying to implicate the State Department and now they have been caught. The GOP is becoming less and less credible as they continue to push this non issue.

"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."
