Michele Bachmann Floats New Benghazi Conspiracy Theory

[Beacool]

Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) added a new theory to the slew of Benghazi cover-up conspiracies on Wednesday, accusing former CIA Deputy Director Mike Morell of taking “the fall" for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in an interview with conservative news site World Net Daily.

“She couldn’t have a better person to take the fall for her because Morell was involved in rewriting the talking points and was the No. 2 at CIA," Bachmann told WND, suggesting that Morell was clearing the path for Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign. "So, he can come in authoritatively say, ‘No, that’s not the story. The story is the fake story we tried to push.'"

Morell testified before the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Wednesday and denied an onslaught of Republican allegations of CIA cover-ups and false messaging after the 2012 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya.

“We did not deliberately downplay the role of terrorists in the Benghazi attack in our analysis or in the talking points,” Morell said during the hearing.

Bachmann, in her interview with WND, claimed that by pointing at “underlings,” Morrell sought to “preserve his status, so, if Hillary becomes the next president, he can safely become the next director of the CIA. That’s what this is all about.”

Me thinks that the tin foil hat is pressing against Michele's last remaining brain cells.

2. Not much of a donation.

I wonder if any scientists would be interested in examining an inert lump of straw, Styrofoam and old chewing gum?

I would dive on that couch with that bear and bankie. It's a chilly, dreary day around here. Luckily, I'm about to fly the coop. We've been furloughed until Monday at 9 AM.




Thank you, my friend.

9. Vince Foster was killed because of what he knew about BENGHAZI!!!!

12. Yeah, the crazy has been going since the early 90s.

When it comes to the Clintons, the RW kooks blame them for everything. I'm surprised they haven't accused them of killing Julius Caesar. Et tu, Bill......

13. Michele Bachmann payed radicals to stage the attack on the embassy

and she used campaign funds to do it. If she can spread false rumors without any proof to try and hurt people I can do. Lets get this meme a flowin people.

15. "Michelle Bachmann says something absolutely crazy"

shouldn't even be a headline. "Michelle Bachmann says something that could be construed as sensible" should be headline news.
