The emails.
Some things we know from the emails, some things we already knew, some things we need to know but Obama and his henchmen aren't talking:
1. How hard was that? Why did it take so much time? The timing was obviously meant to distract.
2. Where are the emails from the two days after the attack?
3. We now know (as if anyone didn't already) that Jim Carney is a liar. From these emails, we know that it is absolutely untrue the White House and the State Department made only minor changes that Carney claimed was the case only six days ago.
4. The truth is that the CIA got it right the first time by referencing "Islamic extremists with ties to Al Qaeda".
5. John Brennan was personally involved in the editing process.
6. We know that:
"Victoria Nuland expressed repeated concerns about the talking points. The CIA says in the emails, “The State Department had major reservations with much or most of the document.” Under the pressure of a revised version, Nuland continued to push back writing, "These don't resolve all my issues or those of my building leadership.” Nuland's involvement also includes concerns that the original point about repeated warnings “could be abused by members (of Congress) to beat the State Department for not paying attention to agency warnings so why do we want to feed that either? Concerned..."
7. General Petraeus about the talking points: “Frankly, I’d just as soon not use this.”
8. Nowhere in the emails is there any mention of a YouTube video. What this means is that narrative did not come from the CIA. It was a desperate political decision.
9. Who gave the stand down orders and where was the President at the time?
