Representative Elijah E. Cummings, Ranking Member of the House Select Committee on Benghazi, sent a letter to Chairman Trey Gowdy warning: "It now appears that someone who was given access to the Select Committee's documents leaked doctored information to the press in order to make unsubstantiated allegations against Secretary Clinton." Rep. Cummings explains in a letter send to Rep. Gowdy: Dear Mr. Chairman: Documents released recently by the Benghazi Select Committee demonstrate that a Member of the Committee, a staffer on the Committee, or someone who has been given access to the Committees documents inaccurately described to the press email exchanges obtained by the Committee in a way that appeared to further a political attack against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. [...] The emails were not included in documents originally turned over by the State Department. Now that the emails quoted in this story have been released, it is clear that this source provided the following inaccurate information: First, the source claimed that Secretary Clinton wrote Thanks, Im pushing to WH in response to an email from Mr. Blumenthal on October 10. In fact, she did not make that statement in response to this email. Secretary Clinton was responding to a completely different email more than a week earlier, on October 1. Second, the source claimed that Secretary Clinton was responding to a suggestion from Mr. Blumenthal that Philippe Reines circulate links to four Media Matters articles that refuted the way the right-wing media was covering Republican statements about the Benghazi attacks. In fact, Secretary Clinton was responding to an email from Mr. Blumenthal forwarding an article from Salon.com reporting that Republicans were planning to claim inaccurately during the presidential debates that the White House had advance knowledge about the Benghazi attacks and failed to act on it. The article included no reference to Mr. Reines at all.

This is because it's not about justice but taking down the competition. Gowdy is a fraud leading a kangaroo court. He uses the bench to yell at conservatives and government employees. It turns out that Hillary's emails with Blumenthal vindicated her, thus the need to insert false information that suggest that they discussed the Benghazi attacks and failed to respond -- which perpetuates the years-long assertion from Republicans that Hillary didn't care about the Benghazi deaths.
None of that is true, and hillary violated the law and used a private server for classified emails. If hillary had followed the law, all her emails would have been provided by the state, not hillarys discretion. Hillarys lies deceit and willful violation of the law, have created this controversy, and no one can dispute that. Furthermore, it seems the obama administration was obviously complicit with hillarys national security breach as well as the deletion of subpenaed emails from the IRS. obama promise of transparency in his administration has been repeated proven to be just another lie in a steady stream of lies spewed forth. The American people arent stupid enough to believe this bullcrap, which why only hillarys personal media outlet will spew them. aka Media Matters.
These mischaracterized emails were published by Politico, but were sent to Politico from Trey Gowdy's team. Politico wrote a correction and not an apology to Hillary for posting these lies from Gowdy's team. Meanwhile, Gowdy is expected to remain quiet about this real scandal, and focus on his fake Benghazi scandal.

Would you like another source? How about this one: From http://www.ibtimes.com/false-info-a...eaked-press-benghazi-committee-member-1996985 "Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., denounced the House Select Committee on Benghazi as well as news site Politico Monday for leaking inaccurate emails in an effort to undermine former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. In a letter, sent to Chairman Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., and published here, Cummings, the panel's ranking Democrat, raises concerns about multiple mischaracterizations of Clinton's messages and calls for greater security." Which reminds me of another lie that came from Gowdy's corrupt kangaroo court. They said that Hillary used multiple private email accounts when in truth she only used one. I see. So if somebody allegedly breaks the law, Republicans are allowed to lie all they want? Proof please. You don't have any, but I have to ask for evidence. Gowdy's team has lied out their wazoo during an official legal ivestiation, yet you dismiss it and choose to focus on a vague law.
Any "mischaracterizations" that may have occurred are a direct result of hillarys willful violation of US Federal Law, by utilizing a private email server, and deleting her own emails. Every single one of your assumptions is based on believing what hillarys claims. If hillary wanted to be trusted, she wouldnt have violated the law in the first place. and as for your proof demands, lol Every email that has ever been sent in the history of the world has a To: segment and a From: segment, and none of her emails are From: State.gov. Every retard who has ever used email, knows this. Are you suggesting obama is dumber than a retard? Clinton Email Domain Hosted by a Company That Was Hacked in 2010 and Had Data Redirected to Ukraine — and IP Address Reveals Link to British Virgin Islands Domain history data reveals Clintonemail.com was registered in 2009 with Network Solutions, shortly after Clinton was appointed as the nation’s top diplomat. But the decision to host the domain for such a high-profile person on a consumer registrar like Network Solutions is questionable to security experts. Bill Sweetman, a domain registration expert based in Canada who describes himself as part of the “left-leaning camp,” told TheBlaze Friday that the whole Clinton email controversy has struck him as “naive on the part of the players.” “If you’re someone that is concerned about security of your data, you don’t go and register your domain name with a consumer-oriented registrar like Network Solutions or GoDaddy,” Sweetman said.
Gowdy's going to end up, at the end, trying this line- "We didn't find a smoking gun...but lots of questions are still unanswered." And all the Benghazi-gaters on the Right will insist that his "findings" are "utterly devastating to Hillary and will stop her from winning in November 2016." Later, if she does win in November 2016?...they'll then claim that the "findings" are "utterly devastating to Hillary and could still lead to her being impeached in 2018!!!!" Naturally, they will NEVER admit they were wrong, dishonest, etc. Perhaps at some point, they'll simply turn on Trey Gowdy and call him an idiot for "not producing clear prosecutable evidence".... but they'll never admit there was no "there" there. They can't now. Even if their partisanship allowed them. Their poor, fragile egos can never admit it.
this post is about Benghazi and you get hysterical about everything else. not rational, not rational at all.
Well, by "mischaracterizations", I mean lies. These were intentionally-altered documents sent out from Gowdy's team. This has nothing to do with Hillary's email server. No, they're based on truth. They're based on reality. Facts are inconvenient for the far Right. What violation of law has Hillary been charged with? Again, facts aren't convenient for you. So? She never claimed otherwise. Typical ultraconservative response. You lose an argument so you have to get personal.
Perhaps you should have harry reid look into these alleged lies..... LOL Obama is tasked with enforcing the law, ask him why he isnt doing his job..... oh wait, thats right, obama knew all about it and is complicit. Personal? I assume obama is smarter than a retard, its you who is claiming he isnt.
The IRS, Obama, Harry Reid. Your deflections suggest that you ain't got nothin'. And these lies aren't alleged. This happened. Gowdy needs to publicly apologize.
Yes, Hillary is excellent at throwing up smokescreens...Watch the liberals clamor to her like little lemmings now claiming she was somehow violated....She has more public faces and the 7 faces of Dr. Lao.
lol the funny thing is shes far more to the center and shes currently lying to the left to get the nomination. She doesnt start lying to the right until after the primaries.
How is a public smear campaign not a violation? Republicans have said that she issued a stand down order, that her emails were hacked by Russians, that she didn't care about the deaths of Americans in Benghazi, and all kinds of other nonsense. It's childish and desperate. What is so comical about exposing Republican lies? Gowdy's committee was a farce from day one, and it's truly hilarious. And he likely won't apologize to Hillary Clinton. He's a sleezy as he looks. They'll move on to their next fake scandal. I think this is the 12th Benghazi inquiry. They're doing anything and everything to take Hillary down. It's not about dead Americans. It's about taking out Hillary. I hope Americans never forget how childish the GOP is being, and how low they'll stoop to take out a rival. Using Congress to do this makes it even more egregious.
lol Lets take a look at Hillarys campaign slogan...... [video=youtube;4B7dZReimPI]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4B7dZReimPI[/video]
Amazing. You know, if Hillary had turned over the e-mails in the first place, as she was required by law to do, then none of this would have happened.
This latest claim reminds me of the Republican lie about Hillary's alleged "stand down" order. There was no stand down order, but that didn't stop her detractors from promoting the lie. America will get wise soon enough. Like I said, that's all you've got.
None of this changes the fact that Hillary broke the law. She was required by law to turn over the e-mails, and she didn't. Not only that, but the evidence is clear that of the ones she did turn over, she deliberately edited some of the e-mails before turning them over. Which makes her a federal felon. That's Obstruction of Justice, and it's a High Crime and Misdemeanor and it qualifies for impeachment by anyone's standards. Therefore, if she ever does get to the White House, she should be immediately impeached. There's already enough evidence to make that stick.
What? Republicans lie sometimes? Oh, no, heaven forfend! But whatever will they do now that they have been caught red handed lying to the public all this time about Benghazi? Oh that's right, continue to lie about Benghazi and blame Hillary for something she had absolutely no control over.
The real story here is the Politico may have gotten it wrong and it's revealed that the Clinton's State Department got their talking points from Media Matters. Media Matters ? No wonder the entire Middle East is a complete basket case today if members of the Obama administration are relying on Media Matters.
What would be the point? This is this election cycle's "Birther" issue. The lunatic fringe has latched onto it with all their might, and they aren't going to let this go no matter what anyone says about the issue. Despite the fact that most of these people have no idea where Benghazi is without googling it. They actually will continue to believe that Obama and Hillary personally went to the embassy stormed it, and personally executed those Americans. This is how bad this is, there are actually conservatives out there that believe with all their hearts that Obama and Hillary were the shooters in the Benghazi attack. Nothing you, I, or even God itself could convince these people otherwise.
