Mike Morell's Testimony

Hat tip Vlad Tepes


Here is a video of ex-CIA acting chief Mike Morell's bizarre  testimony before Congress this week regarding Benghazi.

To summarize, Morell is the one who disregarded the reports of his own people in Libya who told him explicitly that the Benghazi attack was no protest over a video, but a terror attack. It was he who altered the report that was used by Susan Rice when she went on those Sunday talk shows 5 days after the attack and told the administration's lie. Morell insisted to the panel in this testimony that he and the CIA knew "from the get go" that it was a terrorist attack, but that they didn't know at the time the level of training and sophistication of the attackers!!! He also said he relied on the word of his analysts at CIA hqs (instead of the word of his own CIA station chief in Libya).

Morell also said that he didn't want to embarrass the State Department. (Better to mislead the American people.) That is especially striking since he has retired and works for a company affiliated with the Clintons. Keep in mind that two of the Americans killed at Benghazi were CIA contractors-his people. Reminds me of Janet Napolitano's disinterest in Operation Fast and Furious, which caused the death of one, if not two, of her agents.

It is also telling that Morell tried to buffalo Michele Bachmann in this hearing by telling her that the White House and State Department had made only three and two minor cosmetic changes to the CIA report (e.g. changing consulate to mission) respectively, changes that were not substantive. Bachmann retorted that the White House and State Department didn't have to make any substantive changes because he (Morell) had made them himself.

But, as Hillary Clinton herself has already testified, "What difference at this point does it make?" Morell could have told the congressional panel under oath that the moon is made of Swiss cheese and who is going prosecute him or anybody else for perjury? Certainly not Eric Holder's corrupt Justice Department.

And where are the attackers after all this time? Walking around free because nobody will arrest them and we can't take them out because they are not documented to be al Qaeda. In fact, the only person arrested and sitting behind bars right now is-you guessed it-that guy who made the Mohammad video.
