Teamobama dumped heavily redacted #Benghazi documents late on a Friday afternoon, which can only mean they're hiding something BIG. #tcot

We know from CBS News’ Sharyl Attkisson the stonewalling she’s faced while trying to gain access to documents and photos surrounding the Sept. 11 terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya. Investigators in Congress haven’t had much luck getting information, either. Fox News’ Chad Pergram is tweeting details this afternoon about the information that was provided to the Senate Intelligence Committee, with a source telling him that hundreds of pages were fully redacted. It seems the most transparent administration ever has a heavy touch with an opaque marker.
Source tells Fox that #Benghazi "talking points" documents delivered to Senate Intel Cmte were so heavily redacted they were "worthless."

Source on #Benghazi docs sent to Congress: "There were some documents that were 100 pages with every word on the page redacted."

#Benghazi docs sent to Hill show email traffic on "talking points." Passed through WH, FBI, State & CIA.

@ChadPergram In other words consensus on how to misinform the country….classic.

Ah yes, the talking points about a spontaneous protest over a YouTube video getting out of hand. What difference, at this point, does it make that there was no such protest?
Source says #Benghazi talking points docs delivered to Congress show “heavy editing by the DCI” who at the time was David Petraeus.

Source on #Benghazi talking points docs sent to Congress: “The word ‘attacks’ was changed to ‘demonstration,’” the source said.

@ChadPergram That makes me angry. It was an ATTACK. Future generations won't have a clue what happened. This is not a good thing.

Give'um hell @ChadPergram. We need to hold the responsible accountable.

Will this story pick up steam? It is Friday afternoon, after all.
Benghazi, pardons, Keystone. Lots of unhappy reporters this Friday pm.

Yeah, it might be up to the public to keep this alive via social media.
If Benghazi docs are getting dumped today, it's cause they expect us to stay stuck on #sequestration. Prove em wrong, ok?

Update:
We have to give some sort of prize to Roll Call’s Steven Dennis for predicting tonight’s Benghazi news dump.
I called Benghazi. Really, I did. #FridayNewsDump
— Steven Dennis (@StevenTDennis) March 1, 2013
Yes, he really did, an hour earlier.
Friday news dump deluxe at WH today. Keystone, pardons. What next? Benghazi talking points mea culpa?
