CNN Accuses ABC Of Falsely Reporting White House Collaboration With State Department In Benghazi 'Cover Up' -- Daily Mail

CNN's Jake Tapper is accusing ABC News and the Weekly Standard of inaccurately reporting on emails between top administration officials regarding last September's terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi.

My Comment: The CNN report is here. The response from ABC News is here.

I have mentioned on more than one occasion that because of the many contradictory/false/and misleading statements on Benghazi from multiple departments within the U.S. government .... there is now a need for a Special Committee or a Special Prosecutor to fully investigate and obtain the necessary documents and info on what exactly happened. This entire affair has now become political, and relying on one leaked email to justify one's position and another leaked email over there to justify another is not going to cut it anymore. What CNN's Jake Tapper and his media colleagues should be doing is calling for a full disclosure and a proper investigation to answer the many questions that this administration has indicated very bluntly that they have no interest to now answer.
