VIDEO: ABC reports 12 revisions to Benghazi talking points - designed to scrub terrorism

First, NBC outed Democrat attempts to destroy the Benghazi whistleblowers, now ABC News is shredding the official White House version of events. It's starting to look like the President's media lapdogs have finally been shamed into exposing their favorite administration.

In this case, ABC has revealed that they've received a whopping 12 different revisions of the Benghazi talking points. Their reporting makes it clear that the White House lied when it said the revisions were enacted predominantly by the intelligence community. "When it became clear last fall that the CIA's now discredited Benghazi talking points were flawed, the White House said repeatedly the documents were put together almost entirely by the intelligence community, but White House documents reviewed by Congress suggest a different story.

ABC News has obtained 12 different versions of the talking points that show they were extensively edited as they evolved from the drafts first written entirely by the CIA to the final version distributed to Congress and to U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Susan Rice before she appeared on five talk shows onthe Sunday after that attack. 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." They even call Jay Carney out - by name - for telling a bald faced lie back in November. "Those talking points originated from the intelligence community. They reflect the IC's best assessments of what they thought had happened," Carney said at the time. “The White House and the State Department have made clear that the single adjustment that was made to those talking points by either of those two institutions were changing the word "consulate' to "diplomatic facility' because 'consulate' was inaccurate." Bear in mind, this isn't Fox News. This isn't the National Review, TownHall, or even the crackpots at InfoWars. This is mainstream, Democrat-friendly, ABC News. We can all complain about how long it took the last horse to cross the finish line, but at least it's managed to do so. Progressives can no longer claim that this "is a non-story" or that "only right wingers care." The story is becoming bigger and bigger, and not even the Obama-faithful can ignore it any longer. We'll see how long this new found love of reality lasts - and the smart money's on 'not long'- but if outlets like NBC and ABC have stopped carrying the President's water on this matter, the wheels are truly coming off.
