Reply #33: U.S. press attache lies [View All]

[rabs]

From the Bloomberg story:


“In response to the events that happened in Ecuador, Secretary (of State Hillary) Clinton immediately came out expressing our support for President Correa,” said Thomas Mittnacht, head of the press section at the U.S. Embassy in Caracas. “Any accusations that the U.S. had anything to do with what happened are without foundation.”

------------------------

This is a flat-out lie by Mittnacht.

On Thursday evening when the coup attempt's outcome was still in doubt, Hillary's flack Crowley in Washington said State was "closely monitoring" the situation.

Hillary did not speak to Correa until FRIDAY MORNING, when it was clear the coup/assassination attempt had FAILED.
