Fourth, the Committee concludes that after the attacks, the early intelligence assessments and the Administration's initial public narrative on the causes and motivations for the attacks were not fully accurate. There was a stream of contradictory and conflicting intelligence that came in after the attacks. The Committee found intelligence to support CIA's initial assessment that the attacks had evolved out of a protest in Benghazi; but it also found contrary intelligence, which ultimately proved to be the correct intelligence. There was no protest. The CIA only changed its initial assessment about a protest on September 24, 2012, when closed caption television footage became available on September 18, 2012 (two days after Ambassador Susan Rice spoke), and after the FBI began publishing its interviews with U.S. officials on the ground on September 22, 2012.Aww, you poor, lying con tool. I’m not the one claiming that. I’m the one repeating the findings from the GOP-led investigation into Benghazi.I’ve explained it 100 times. Intel the night of the attack was fluid and changing. Shortly after the attack, the CIA settled on the story about the video. Two weeks later, the CIA reassessed the catalyst to be an attack, not the video.Yeah, we’ll never know why some the right lied about Stevens death, claiming he was tortured and raped before being killed?
Maybe while you're pondering THAT, Faun...you can take a crack at explaining why the Obama Administration blamed the attack on a demonstration over a You Tube video that turned violent when they knew almost from the start that it was a planned terror attack?
Did the CIA reach that conclusion on it's own, Faun...or were they pressured to change their assessment by Hillary Clinton's State Department and the Obama White House? If you're claiming that it took two weeks for the CIA to figure out there was no demonstration when they had video of the area prior to the attack and there was no demonstration then you're as big a liar as Obama and Clinton!
Show me where ANY investigation into Benghazi reached that conclusion!
