Republicans Altered Benghazi Emails, CBS News Report Claims

"One day after The White House released 100 pages of Benghazi emails, a report has surfaced alleging that Republicans released a set with altered text.

CBS News reported Thursday that leaked versions sent out by the GOP last Friday had visible differences than Wednesday's official batch. Two correspondences that were singled out in the report came from National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes and State Department Spokeswoman Victoria Nuland."

but considering this psychopathic cast of characters, you'll never hear the 'J' word bandied about like it was before their 'scandalous' bubble burst.

I mean, I have my suspicions and everything, but how does anyone know for sure which is 'real' and which isn't?

I really wouldn't think the WH would be so dumb as to release 'fakes', and the GOP I totally think are that dumb (or ... canny, if their goal is just to keep this story in the news ... looks like totally Rovian tactics), but ... how do we know for sure?

The best time to answer a smear is, uh, immediately.
