One day after The White House released 100 pages of Benghazi emails, a report has surfaced alleging that Republicans released a set with altered text.
CBS News reported Thursday that leaked versions sent out by the GOP last Friday had visible differences than Wednesday's official batch. Two correspondences that were singled out in the report came from National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes and State Department Spokeswoman Victoria Nuland.

The news parallels a Tuesday CNN report which initially introduced the contradiction between what was revealed in a White House Benghazi email version, versus what was reported in media outlets. On Monday, Mother Jones noted that the Republicans' interim report included the correct version of the emails, signaling that more malice and less incompetence may have been at play with the alleged alterations.

(31,849 posts)What does that make 4 faked/altered leaked leads, to 4 different media outlets, in less than 2 week?
Will the media finally say ... out loud ... to anyone that can read, watch or listen ... "F-U, gop. I'm done being your trick. We're not running with nothing you give us until we have checked and triple checked every detail ... and if you EVERY leak ANYTHING that does not 100% check out, we're gonna publish the name, date and time of the leak, with photos and links to the audio, on the front page, above the fold."
Wow, that was some fantasy ... I think I need a cigarette and a pillow.

Now it's "Who Altered The Emails?"
thanks Janey

Meanwhile, the media jumped on the speculative band-wagon so hyper-actively that turning this news story around and now having to inform the public of the truth will be like turning a tanker ship 180 in a stormy sea. Our media is a joke. It's one big TMZ/National Enquirer. Facts & evidence take a back seat to speculation, sensationalism, & ratings-mongering.

(13,257 posts)When will the GOP be held to account for their incredibly damaging non-stop lies and misrepresentations? Ever? These people are in our fucking government. They've arguably got the most important jobs: running our country.
They. Are. Pissing. On. Us. All.
And yet even when we have the chance to pull them up by the short and curlies, we give them a pass.
AND THEY DO IT MORE.
I'm fucking tired of having a government run by a bunch of immature thugs whose behavior is more suited to a prison block.

I agree, they are pissing on us every chance they get.
Enough already...

(13,257 posts)...but that would have weakened my point. We all know that's what they've been doing for decades; it's just not what they SHOULD be doing.

(13,257 posts)They're like a dog on one of those auto-wind leashes. They'll keep going till the line runs out. That's my only hope at this point: that they finally choke themselves. Because it doesn't seem anyone is willing to bring them to heel.

(25,111 posts)In my opinion, what the GOPers did by tampering with the e-mails and by changing important wording for the main purpose to force a threat of impeachment is criminal and needs to be investigated to the fullest. Its fraud done by members of the United States government, tax payers pay their salaries, we the people have the right to find out who did it and we already know why but that also needs to be on a legal document. I say get a special prosecutor!
