Morell belongs in prison.

[Jen]

Former acting CIA director Mike Morell took it upon himself to change what he was being told by people who were actually in the Benghazi firefight and reporting to him.

Was he covering up?

Was he protecting Hillary in case she wanted to run in 2016 (so she would see him as her savior and put him in some plum spot in her administration)?

Was he protecting Obama's votes in the election that was about to happen?

I hope those questions are answered, but Morell is stonewalling as much as he possibly can.......to his own detriment.

The CIA’s former deputy director disclosed Wednesday that Obama administration officials were alerted the day before they went on national television that a key tenet of their original Benghazi storyline might be inaccurate. But he did not explain why the administration continued to cling to its narrative even after U.S. intelligence debunked reports that the deadly attack was born out of a protest over an anti-Islam video.

Morell seemed to make it a point NOT to know what was going on. He still makes that claim and says he didn't even know what Rice said on the air until well after she said it.

One operator watching the hearing [said]: "He doesn't have any idea what happened that night. Why is he speculating? He wouldn't have to speculate if he talked to the people in Libya that night, or others who were watching."

Another operative said

Morell either still has no idea what happened that night, or he is covering for someone.

Even Morell's reports on what happened seemed to change with each subsequent question asked.

intelligence on the ground [knew] within the first 20 minutes was consistent that a terror attack was underway. Yet in Wednesday's testimony, Morell said analysts didn't know for sure and the only way he knew Al Qaeda was involved was through classified sources -- and that's why it was taken out of the talking points. But later in the testimony, Morell said he did not take out Al Qaeda from talking points, and that a group of "officers" from another CIA department did..........
Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., alleged during the hearing that Morell's testimony directly contradicted that of the chief of station, who testified on Tuesday behind closed doors due to his classified status.

Lies! All lies! On the other hand, maybe Obama and his goons can pin it ALL on this Morrell scum bag, make him the fall guy and walk away clean. It's not like thugs like Hillary and Obama give a damn about people or the truth. The important thing here is to keep Democrats in office. If we have to let a few losers die in Benghazi and some spook go to prison, who cares, right?

Obama seems to be reluctant to find a fall guy - probably because that person could squawk and the cat would be outta the bag. Notice Sebilius is protected. I'm sure she has a book outline ready just in case someone nails her. Same for Morrel.

At least those people are still alive.

SO FAR they're still alive. But with Barack "I'm really good at killing people" Obama in the White House, I'm sure they're a little nervous.

Obama did say they would punish their enemies and so I am certain that these people would do just about anything to avoid being seen as an enemy of Obama.

Sadly, I have heard Obama describe Republicans as enemies, but never America's actual enemies. Really, Obama's biggest enemy is America itself.

I don't think I have ever heard a sitting President refer to the other party (in public at least) as an "enemy". And nasty perv Harry Reid referred to Republicans as "terrorists". That is unconscionable as far as I am concerned.

...while agreed, Obama's use of the word "enemies" once in 2010 was inappropriate, do you feel the same way when Mitch McConnell said "The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president." or when a conservative described Obama as "a communist-raised, communist-educated, communist-nurtured, subhuman mongrel."

...where are the adults? Where are the leaders that can overcome this kind of divisive attacks for the good of our country - no where and all of us seem to reinforce this despicable behavior.

For a Republican to say that he wants a Democratic President to be a one-termer and that he as a leader will seek to make that happen is something one would expect. It's a big yawn that he even said it.

But for the President to call the other party ..........the "enemy" signals that he will NOT work with that party and he didn't. He, even today, resorted to childish finger pointing and name calling. A President doesn't normally need to lower himself to that level, but this one does it a lot.

Tell me exactly who made that quote about Obama and then we will talk about it alongside the comments about Obama being a "clean, articulate" black person made by Joe Biden. I can give you very nasty quotes from high-ranking Democrats to match every single nasty quote you can give me from Republicans and I will probably have some left over.

Yes, it is a bit childish to resort to name calling, but they do it and there are those here who also do it. The conservative women here on PJ have been called just about every vile name that a woman can be called by PJ LIBERAL men (as well as a few uncouth liberal women).

...a big yawn? I cannot recall a single Majority Leader of an opposing party making a declaration that their main priority was to unseat a President - it is appalling and NOT the business of the Nation which he was supposed to be doing. Poo-poo it all you like but it is/was wrong and it clearly set the tone for where we find ourselves and our Nation.

So...it's just the words.

McConnell states openly that he refuses to work with the President...but that's OK, a big yawn. The President says these people are enemies ( the ones that say they will not work with the President)...and you say it's a scandal.

McConnell was, and is, an enemy to the President...

Mitch McConnell is an enemy to the state of Kentucky and to the nation. Hopefully, the Bluegrass State will come to their senses and put him out to pasture, where he can do no more damage.

Fig, McConnell's comment, while silly, is nowhere in the same league as Obama's or Reid's, especially given I've never seen Obama even call the enemy the enemy. He's reserved use of that word for domestic political adversaries. Now if you want to drag anonymous liberal quotes into it, I can outdo Ted Nugent's comment- most of which by the way is TRUE.

Too bad Democrats put nut case Ashley Judd up against him. The poor wacko didn't even last what two weeks before folding???? ROFLMAO!

And there are plenty of old relics like him in the Republicrat party that need to go. Or are you a big Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid fan?

...of course it is in the same league - in our history - where has an opposing party made politics a priority over the business of the Country - it is despicable.

Ehhh... no. Desiring someone to not be reelected versus declaring someone the enemy? Not same league, not same ball park.

However, I also agree with your sentiment- minus the same league. Hell, why split hairs? It's all good, bro.

 

[connieb]

Between the parties. But, actual Americans are republicans... roughly half of the country is either republican or some form of conservative - and in his comment he labeled ordinary Americans as the enemy. THAT is why it is different.

Show me where McConnell has ever said he refuses to work with the President. I wouldn't have said it was okay if he had said that.
Furthermore I never called it a "scandal" for Obama to say what he did ..........I merely said that I don't feel that a President doesn't have to come on tv and insult his opponent and call them names. It's childish.
Please..........if you have to chime in..........read the posts and don't say that I said things I never said. Just get it right. Thanks.

 

[as seen on tv]

in the clips of his testimony shown on this morning's news cycle he certainly didn't have a credible explanation for what he did. his defense was that he took the word of "office guys" over that of actual CIA operatives on the ground, as office guys were more informed.

he did not say which "office guys" instructed him on the proper explanation. i suppose this is fruitful ground for further questioning. at which point he can claim that all CIA guys are undercover agents, and it would be a national security breach to say more.
