But the program seemed to make a crucial error in going ahead with its report before it knew for certain what was in the F.B.I. interviews. Mr. Fager said CBS had made extensive efforts to determine what Mr. Davies told the F.B.I. He said the network had sources who led the program to believe that the report was in sync with the account Mr. Davies gave to 60 Minutes.
Informed Thursday night by The Times that the F.B.I. version diverged from what Mr. Davies said on 60 Minutes, CBS News quickly checked its own F.B.I. sources, Mr. Fager said, and learned that what Mr. Davies had told the F.B.I. differed from what he told us.

Fascinating. They took someone else's word that the reports matched. Hmmmm. Who would have told them that? Oversight Chairman/Fabricator of the House hell bent on Benghazi? Senator facing teahadist primary challenge looking for new windmill to attack? The mind boggles.
