The Lie Matters: What Did Sen Coburn Know about the Edited Benghazi Email and How Did He Know It

Joy Reid dropped a little Benghazi lying leaker bomb yesterday on the Reid Report blog. A trusted source of hers told her to look at the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs. One person who stood out to her was Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK), who was on Morning Joe on May 9th, the day before the now debunked Benghazi email bombshell, claiming that there were “glaring omissions” in what was given to the intelligence committee, but that he couldn’t talk about it yet.

Senator Coburn appears to be referencing the email that was edited and shopped by “Republicans on Capitol Hill” to media outlets, and picked up by the gullible rube Jonathan Karl at ABC, as well as repeated by The Weekly Standard and a CBS reporter. This suggests that he saw the edited version of the email that was leaked by Republicans.

to defend him, told us Coburn was his good friend, his 'brother in Christ', said their wives are close and that Coburn was honest. We were told about the President sharing Coburn's faith and at that time, his views opposing equality in great detail.
When I wrote to them about the 'Prayer Breakfast' organized by C Street, which had invited the author of the Ungandan 'kill the gays bill' and suggested that Obama should not be attending the WH told me C-Street and Coburn were the President's people, the Christians like Coburn were family to the president.
Coburn's role at C-Street often involves Pimp work, that is it is his job to broker payment deals for the various heterosexual adulteries each year at the Christian club. He goes to the mistress, offers money, takes that response back to his friend who pays or negotiates further. Sanctified, hallelujah!
