Report Sheds Light On Ex-CIA Deputy Director's Role In Benghazi Talking Points -- FOX News
The recently-released bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee report on Benghazi sheds new light on the role of Michael Morell, the CIA's former deputy director, in the official “talking points” explanations put forward after the attack.
"I think, given what was said by him and others, and where they're headed, down the political road, would justify revisiting this issue," Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina told Fox News.
The Senate report states that on Sep. 15, 2012, four days after the attack and one day before U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice appeared on Sunday talk shows blaming the assault on a demonstration over a video, Morell and others at the CIA received a critical email that reported the attacks were "not/not an escalation of protests." Fox News was the first broadcast network to report there were no protests outside the consulate at the time of the attack on Sept. 17, 2012.
The email was from the CIA chief of station who was on the ground in Libya.
