The New York Times, self-appointed good cop and bad cop on all things Hillary Clinton, offers this. Given its apparent legitimacy and strength, I share this article about this book. While the Clinton Cash book accuses without evidence, Michael J. Morrell’s book cites lack of evidence behind the Republican juggernaut aimed at Hillary Clinton’s performance as Secretary of State during a single critical incident.
The Times itself, as a publication, has pretty much scuttled its credibility by teaming up with Peter Schweizer, author of the evidence-free tome Clinton Cash, but the Morrell book catches the Times biting its own sorry tail.
All hail Gertrude Stein! “There is no there there. ”
Oh the woes of trying to run a complex publication with consistency and integrity – lost on the NYT – but thanks for this one.
Ex-C.I.A. Official Rebuts Republican Claims on Benghazi Attack in ‘The Great War of Our Time’
Bill was tracked down in Kenya by NBC and there are clips of him defending Hillary, the Foundation and himself from any wrong doing and making it clear it is all charity and this is all BS political dirty crapola. Clip at NBC

I think NBC was already covering Bill and Chelsea in Africa (I’ve seen some previous stories), but I’m glad he spoke out on this garbage.

The first words above on the NYT article are exactly what bothers me the most about “B” even more than the ludicrous Gowdy and before him, Issa. The republicans are such hypocrites, not only on this subject but on all subjects. They wave the flag and insult American ideals. They yell freedom as they try to rob people of their freedom. They use religion and the death of 4 people as TOOLS when the personal relationship with God and our tributes to the fallen who have served us is SACRED. Crazy and over the top.

Also from that book is this “known unknown” as Rummy would say :
“Morell apologizes to Powell in the book for his agency’s erroneous assessments of Iraq’s WMD programs and says that then-Vice President Dick Cheney pressured analysts in the CIA and elsewhere to find links between Iraq and al-Qaeda that didn’t exist.”
How Cheney could find a place to spout his wrong opinions constantly… Fox…
I almost ordered the book ($15 on Kindle) but then I saw that he says he stands for the use of “alternative interrogation techniques” (aka “extreme torture”) and criticizes the Senate Intelligence investigation for its findings.
