WH Benghazi emails have different quotes than earlier reported - CBS News

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."

WH Benghazi emails have different quotes than earlier reported - CBS News

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."
 
16 threads on this and Obama still lied about the video and where are the emails from 9/11 to 9/14?

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?

Without reading this thread further, I can tell you the right wing response in two parts:

1) CBS and/or (insert favorite derogatory term for the President of the United States here) is lying

2) The two quotes aren't much different, the exact meaning doesn't matter, we know what they meant and what they think and what they did so who cares what they really said?
 
Holy cow. We need and investigation. Is ABC going to fire somebody for using "Forged" Documents?
 
The white house releases e-mails that are damaging then accuses republicans of altering the emails they released.

Sounds pretty much par for the democrat course.
 
Ranks right up there with Bush's National Guard story. We all know what a pack of lies that was.

And applying the same (cough, cough) journalist standards the MSM applied to President Bush all the Benghazi-gate was all just a pack of lies.

Next......

More, desperate scrambling from the lefties. You all are in pure panic mode. If nothing at all comes of this, it's still fun to see you morons make fools of yourselves.
