In his opening statement during highly anticipated testimony Wednesday on Benghazi, former CIA deputy director Michael Morell claimed to be an intelligence professional who was willing to lay out the facts -- no matter how damaging.
"I take very seriously the allegations about how the CIA in general and about how I in particular handled the analysis and the talking points," Morell told the House Intelligence Committee, in his first public testimony on the Benghazi attacks. "The ethical code under which intelligence officers carry out their responsibilities calls for total objectivity.".......
"You take out everything that is even related to warnings and a bunch of other stuff too,” Rep. Mac Thornberry, R-Texas, said. "To me it seems like you are more interested in protecting the State Department than the State Department is, and more interested in protecting the FBI than the FBI."
In his defense, Morell responded: "I simply saw this as a way for CIA to pound its chest and say, ‘look, we warned’; therefore laying all the blame on the State Department. I did not think that appropriate."
He effectively insinuated he was protecting Hillary !!!!!!!!!!!!! -
Morell further discredited a highly touted December New York Times piece that "turned up no evidence that al Qaeda or other international terrorist groups had any role in the assault."
"The analysts said from the get-go that Al Qaeda was involved in this attack from the get-go," Morell said.

The bombshell is not the coverup or the death of the ambassador, the bombshell which is yet to be dropped are the very real secret operations behind the whole thing involving the 3 letter agency and operatives, the reasons that no one will reveal only time will , don't look for anyone to come forward before a panel to tell that , the focus is on the cover up but that's not the meat of the issue, there is no doubt that there was a cover up, it doesn't take a lot of thinking to come to that conclusion nor a lot of thought to conclude there is a bigger reason than is being revealed as to the true reasons why the consulate was attacked.edit on 4-4-2014 by phinubian because: (no reason given)

So, let's hear the apologists counter that public admission.

Yes, how much less Nixon did in comparison.
It is astonishing to me that we have the MSM refusing to push these many things, which are worse than anything that Nixon did.

Possible excuse...
Uhhh, that's a different Al Qaeda than we were talking about.
Or something to that effect.
