And you know the added State Dept ‘mistake’ was made by Jon Carl
how, John Mace?
If Jon Carl made a mistake in reporting what the Republicans knew to be the truth about their ‘version’ of the emails then they certainly did not object when Jon Carl printed his ‘mistake’ the following day did they?
So not only have you opined about something that you can’t possibly know for sure but the lack of objective reasoning behind that opinion is very fragile indeed.
If my response to your post lacks merit in any way, could you be so kind to reply with an explanation as to why you think it does?
The mistake was putting it in quotes when he knew he was reporting 2nd hand about summaries he was given. As noted in the Washington Post link above:
Emphasis added.
Why should they? As also noted, the added information about the State Department was consistent with the full context of the e-mail exchange.
OK, let’s stop right there. This is your thesis. You are the one who has to provide proof, and you have failed to do so. There is no proof that Republicans “altered classified documents” and no crime was committed. If you can’t prove either of those claims you made, your thesis fails. Best to admit your mistake and move on.
If he’d done that, the summaries would have been merely inaccurate and misleading instead of totally wrong. In other words I can believe the error happened this way, but it was botched regardless. Taking the bit about the CIA investigation out of that comment changes its meaning in a very significant way.
Define the consistency. There is no consistency because Jon Carl wrote that what the White House said earlier was proven to be lies.
Carl and Republicans were making a case that the CIA didn’t agree with what the State Dept 'scrubbed and that is not true at all.
When you take out the State Department reference that was not in the original email - it is very clear that the White House did not lie when they said they changed very little. It was Republicans that lied in the version that they gave to Jon Carl. Carl did not admit that he made it all up. He said he was given the information as printed by his source.
It was a mistake to pretend that the lying source was a direct quote taken from the original emails themselves.
It was outright lying by an investigative committee person who copied it wrong.
Obama is my president and I believe we deserve to know exactly who did this to his Administration and when they changed their version and then gave it to Jon Carl.
You agree with Republicans it is nothing. Again. Fancy that.
Now, not only can Republicans lie about classified information they are trusted with for their own use, but they can leak a lie to the Press and that is ok too. Just a mistake by the journalist in John Mace’s world.
Of course it significantly changed the fact pattern being used by the accusers on the Republican side.
On Wednesday the focus was on Obama and Hillary Clinton and Susan Rice for blaming it on a protest over a movie.
On Thursday that scandal mongering was a huge flop.
On Friday with Jon Carl’s ‘exclusive and sensational new news’ the scandal mongering flipped to 'WH scrubbed CIA talking points to suit Hillary Clinton’s State Department. Jay Carny lied before the election when they said they did not change much. And this proves Obama is corrupt and power hungry and Hillary went along with the corruption and tried to cover it up.
It is interesting to see some go so easy on Republican dishonesty and then diminish that dishonesty by calling just a reporters mistake.
I’d like an explanation for your bias towards the GOP on this matter and several others. No need to lump yourself into group think that is here whether ii its imagined or real on your part.
