Rep Adam Schiff, a Democrat and member of the House Intelligence Committee, spoke to reporters on cam following a (still ongoing) closed session on Benghazi with the CIA’s Mike Morrell.

Schiff said Morrell helped illuminate the thinking behind the talking points editing process. In his view the briefing yet again cleared the administration of any claims that they intentionally misled or hid information from Congress and that it was an intel-community friend process.

He said that Susan Rice is indeed owed an apology, arguing that she was only going off information the CIA had provided her. To deviate from the talking point would therefore have been wrong, he said.

He said he asked Morell about the suspects being held in Libya but could not say more on the matter.

As you all know, the Obama Administration (DOJ) seized phone and email records of Fox News Channel in NYC, DC and that of a correspondent (James Rosen.)  Ordinarily I would think….well, that is one rogue prosecutor, one investigation even though it is overreaching and bizarre at best.  

Today I am stepping back and thinking about a few things.  

It seems to me the Justice Department’s reaction to Fox News Channel with the subpoena of the records might not be isolated bad conduct by one prosecutor, one agency.  I am now suspicious (but not certain.)

Remember last October when the State Department put everyone in the media on a conference call to talk Benghazi except Fox News?  That was the STATE DEPARTMENT that time.  We only learned about the State Department conference call for the media because other news organizations (our friends) ratted out State.   State Department claimed it was inadvertent, an oversight.    I thought it weird at the time and an effort to punish Fox News Channel for aggressive reporting on Benghazi but had no proof.

And there is more.  

A short time after the State Department snub, and in early November, the CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY (CIA) invited everyone in the media except Fox News, to a briefing on Benghazi?  Why were we excluded?  I assumed punishment for doing our jobs. 

So now we have 3 major agencies:  1/ Justice Department, 2/ State and 3/ CIA.  Coincidence? or Systemic?  and is this part of a plan?

She recently was given a big big award – Peabody.  She deserves it.  I gave her the ‘shout out’ two days ago on twitter to the hundreds and hundreds of thousand of followers of @GretaWire on twitter.  I wanted my followers to know, too.

In the article below about Forbes 100 most powerful women, it mentions that ABC’s Robin Roberts was overlooked.  My tweet above — before this list came out or tvnewser published the article below — show my deep appreciation for what Robin has done for women.  I never overlook Robin.

The list has many politicians and people in business, but I skimmed the list to see who in NEWS business is on the list and while I had hoped for more, I love seeing Diane Sawyer’s name on the list.  She has stayed on top of the news business for a long time and she continues to set goals for the rest of us to try to meet.

You never read anything trashy about her because she is a class act.
