ABC’s Jonathan Karl reports that the Benghazi talking points underwent 12 revisions with “extensive input from the State Department.” Terror reference? Scrubbed. And in unsurprising news, the White House was involved:
White House emails reviewed by ABC News suggest the edits were made with extensive input from the State Department. The edits included requests from the State Department that references to the Al Qaeda-affiliated group Ansar al-Sharia be deleted as well references to CIA warnings about terrorist threats in Benghazi in the months preceding the attack.
That would appear to directly contradict what White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said about the talking points in November.
People died, Jay Carney lied.
