So, it is true! Number 44 really is Number 41's love child. Gun running must run in the family. LOL

Remember, Obama has lied to the American public since Day 1 about this incident. I find it impossible to believe that the WH, in the middle of a heated presidential election campaign, with polls that showed the race was nearly in a dead heat, wasn't aware of precisely what went wrong in Benghazi.
The Obama has not lied from Day 1 about this incident. The comments coming out of the Administration reflected what the CIA was telling them. The emails from the CIA show what the initial CIA assessment was, or at least what they were telling others.

In other words, the overwhelming majority of Americans don't agree with your opinions, and therefore are ill-informed.

And the WH got involved and what we ended up with was practically nothing.
The emails show what was the initial CIA assessment. Prior to the input from any other department the CIA was tying the attack in Benghazi to events in Cairo. The connection to the video originated in the CIA not the state department or the White House.

It’s not just Republicans up in arms about Benghazi. That’s a problem for President Obama.

Bull. Then why is Obama hiding Benghazi survivors...BREAKING>>> GOP Rep: Obama WH Is Hiding Benghazi Survivors AND CHANGING THEIR NAMES (Video) | The Gateway Pundit

Why haven't more heads rolled at the CIA? Why won't he tell the American public where he was the night his ambassador was slaughtered? Obama has not been honest or honorable about Benghazi. Everything about this CNN story reeks of more cover-up.

So partisan spin is your basis for truth. Its the CIA, do really think they want their field agents doing Cable News interviews? Multiple Congressional committees have had hearings with the CIA over the events in Benghazi.

Notice what Gowdy said: "What creates the appearance and perhaps the reality of a cover-up?" Appearance and perhaps. He is just spinning for partisan gain.

Obama was in the White House. It was day time in Washington DC.

The "coverup" in the CNN story is what the CIA was doing in Libya, not about the attack in Benghazi. Not often will the CIA willingly disclose information about their operations to the general public.

From the talking point emails.

The initial first talking point as produced by the CIA.

We believe based on currently available information that the attacks in Benghazi were spontaneously inspired by the protests at the US embassy in Cairo and evolved into a direct assault against the US Consulate and subsequently it annex. This assessment may change as additional information is collected and analyzed and currently available information continues to be evaluated.


A later version were the CIA added a line about social media.


The currently available information suggests that the demonstrations in Benghazi were spontaneously inspired by the protests at the US Embassy in Cairo and evolved into a direct assault against the US Consulate and subsequently its annex. This assessment may change as additional information is collected and analyzed and currently available information continues to be evaluated. On 10 September we warned of social media reports calling for a demonstration in front of the Embassy and that jihadists were threatening to break into the Embassy.


The social media reports calling for a demonstration were about the video.
