Can someone explain this sudden neo-con obsession with "talking points"? Since when do talking points equate with the law or official policy? Seems like they're trying desperately to find a hair to split.
Revising talking points is now an impeachable offense. Haven't you been paying attention?
WH made one, how many from FBI, State Dept, etc. -- a whole list of alphabet groups?
Well that's what the issue was this week.
See..you're so busy deflecting that you aren't keeping up.

But in at least one briefing last fall, Mr. Carney said both the White House and the State Department collectively made just one change, in contradiction to the e-mails that show much more substantive revisions proposed by the State Department.

Well then, thank God Congress is spending valuable time getting to the bottom of which agencies revised which talking points. It's a good thing there's nothing else to spend time on, because THIS is crucial.

At the time they were putting the talking points together, the intelligence assessment was that it all started with a demonstration. When was it determined not to be the case? October, wasn't it?

May 8, 2013: At a hearing of the House Committee on Oversight & Government Reform, Rep. Trey Gowdy reads excerpts of a Sept. 12, 2011, email written by Acting Assistant Secretary of State for the Near East Beth Jones. According to Gowdy, Jones wrote, “I spoke to the Libyan ambassador and emphasized the importance of Libyan leaders to continue to make strong statements,” and “When he said his government suspected that former Qaddafi regime elements carried out the attack, I told him that the group that conducted the attacks, Ansar al-Sharia, is affiliated with Islamic terrorists.” Gowdy said the email was sent to several top State Department officials, including Under Secretary for Management Patrick Kennedy. The committee did not release the full contents of the email. House Speaker John Boehner said the State Department did not allow the House to keep a copy of it.)
No, October is when Obama finally admitted it was a terrorist act after having done everything within his administration's powers to act as if it was a man-made disaster caused by a video no one knew about...

Being the Big Government type that you are you should be proud that there's a Committee On Oversight & Government Reform. But it may be true that you don't know what the point of that committee is so here, I'll lend you a helping hand...

The Committee on Oversight and Government Reform has legislative jurisdiction over the District of Columbia, the government procurement process, federal personnel systems, the Postal Service and other matters. Our primary responsibility, however, is oversight of virtually everything government does – from national security to homeland security grants, from federal workforce policies to regulatory reform and reorganization authority, from information technology procurements at individual agencies to government-wide data security standards.
As the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, we will work with our colleagues in the minority to exercise effective oversight over the federal government and will work proactively to investigate and expose waste, fraud, and abuse.
Considering taxpayers pay to fund the government you'd think all taxpayers would want to know that they're not paying to run a government that constantly lies to them...
And considering the implications of losing another Ambassador on the anniversary of the 2001 Sept. 11th attacks for the first time since 1979 you'd think all taxpayers would want to know the truth. Not just roughly half or all one party...
