Report: Secret Timeline Shows Obama Administration Knowingly Doctored Talking Points To Mislead Public On Benghazi Attacks
We knew of course that this had occurred, but the documents catch them dead to rights, and names the top Obama officials involved, including Victoria Nuland and National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes.
Via The Weekly Standard:
Even as the White House strove last week to move beyond questions about the Benghazi attacks of Tuesday, September 11, 2012, fresh evidence emerged that senior Obama administration officials knowingly misled the country about what had happened in the days following the assaults. The Weekly Standard has obtained a timeline briefed by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence detailing the heavy substantive revisions made to the CIA’s talking points, just six weeks before the 2012 presidential election, and additional information about why the changes were made and by whom.
As intelligence officials pieced together the puzzle of events unfolding in Libya, they concluded even before the assaults had ended that al Qaeda-linked terrorists were involved. Senior administration officials, however, sought to obscure the emerging picture and downplay the significance of attacks that killed a U.S. ambassador and three other Americans. The frantic process that produced the changes to the talking points took place over a 24-hour period just one day before Susan Rice, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, made her now-famous appearances on the Sunday television talk shows. The discussions involved senior officials from the State Department, the National Security Council, the CIA, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, and the White House.
When it was shown that Nixon lied to the American people there was utter outrage. We've come a long way baby.
The Office of Misinformation has become acceptable practice. Wait for the authorities to look at all the evidence and then, Hey look, Benghazi was a long time ago.
We are in trouble as a people. when we accept this carnal behavior from our leaders.
"The Republican Party doesn't demonize prosperity. We celebrate success in our party," he said. "And let me be clear, if Republican leaders want to join this president in demonizing success and disparaging conservative values, then they're not going to be fit to be our nominee."

The main difference between then and now is that Congress doesn't do their job anymore. Watergate had public hearings. Today we get nothing. All the pols on both sides of the aisle are only interested in manufacturing talking points instead of genuinely rooting out and punishing corruption.

While all of that is true.....what I see as the main difference is that Nixon was Republican while this rogue administration is Democrat. We have a media that goes after Republicans but ignores any crimes Democrats commit. As far as Congress goes, under Nixon it was Democrat controlled so of course they went after him. Today even though the house is GOP controlled, the GOP who control it are just as statist for the most part as the Democrats! So of course they'll sweep it under the rug right along with the media.
The corruption is in every party, and every single branch of government. That's the problem. Add that to a corrupted press, and we're toast.
America's hope is not the donkey or the elephant, but the Lamb.
