Republicans Get Busted Trying to Take Down Hillary Clinton with Pure Lies

.....The press hasn’t learned yet, apparently. On Monday July 6th, Democrats busted Republicans for leaking yet another fake Benghazi email story to the press. They titled their press release, “Politico Ran Bogus Leak in Front-Page Story.”

Representative Elijah E. Cummings, Ranking Member of the House Select Committee on Benghazi, sent a letter to Chairman Trey Gowdy warning, “it now appears that someone who was given access to the Select Committee’s documents leaked doctored information to the press in order to make unsubstantiated allegations against Secretary Clinton.”............


Here’s the letter sent by Rep. Cummings to Rep. Gowdy:

Dear Mr. Chairman:

Documents released recently by the Benghazi Select Committee demonstrate that a Member of the Committee, a staffer on the Committee, or someone who has been given access to the Committee’s documents inaccurately described to the press email exchanges obtained by the Committee in a way that appeared to further a political attack against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton..........

On June 18, 2015, Politico ran a front-page story entitled “Benghazi Panel Probes Sidney Blumenthal’s Work for David Brock.” .......................

The emails were not included in documents originally turned over by the State Department.

Now that the emails quoted in this story have been released, it is clear that this source provided the following inaccurate information:

First, the source claimed that Secretary Clinton wrote “Thanks, I’m pushing to WH” in response to an email from Mr. Blumenthal on October 10. In fact, she did not make that statement in response to this email. Secretary Clinton was responding to a completely different email more than a week earlier, on October 1.

Second, the source claimed that Secretary Clinton was responding to a suggestion from Mr. Blumenthal that Philippe Reines circulate links to four Media Matters articles that refuted the way the “right-wing media” was covering Republican statements about the Benghazi attacks. In fact, Secretary Clinton was responding to an email from Mr. Blumenthal forwarding an article from Salon.com reporting that Republicans were planning to claim inaccurately during the presidential debates that the White House had advance knowledge about the Benghazi attacks and failed to act on it. The article included no reference to Mr. Reines at all........more

1. Gowdy, teaparty etal, need to put on ISIS uniforms and just come right out and admit

they are not an opposing political party, but an opposing army wanting to deconstruct our CIVIL society where Black people and Gay people and so on are not automatically considered 2nd class.

They want this and will lie, cheat and steal to get it.

And more

I stopped looking at the "details" of what these pukes do, because EVERY FUCKING DAY they do or say something that is disgusting, illegal and unpatriotic to not just all Americans but all human beings.

I am patriotic to life, not necessarily a specific group of life.

2. The House GOP are so frickin incompetent they can't even get a leak right . . .

as a result, we have "Benghazi!!!!" instead of a sensible discussion about the consequences of the CIA-State Dept. regime change policy in the Mideast-N Africa. Maybe, that poisoning of the well isn't entirely by accident.

3. When you control the Ethics Committee,

what do you expect. Let's take a step back for a moment. Remember when Orin Hatch's Staff hacked into Ted Kennedy's Senate Computer,well,did Hatch get sent packing,no,that was the test of breaking the Gentleman's Agreement Boundary without punitive consequences. And since we hear more and more of these convoluted stories,you know the spin misters from the Rove-Ailes-Frank Luntz Groups,are manufacturing this crap. What has to be done is,as soon as someone see's one of these bogus stories,it has to be challenged with the source naming names instantly.

6. Most won't see this thread.

Nor the one about the fake pic of Hillary with the confederate flag behind her.

5. Republicans lie. That's all we need to know about them.

Annoys me when some naive DU'ers breathlessly repeat lies coming out of Trey Gowdy's mouth. Thanks for posting.

7. Exactly

I don't really think that those who keep posting the same BS right wing hit pieces are really liberals, democrats, or progressives, they are just trouble makers who come here to stir things up and divide the board.
