WOW, This is Pretty EPIC

34. So ... Garrett is speaking during this quote, right?

"The C.I.A. agreed with the concerns raised by the State Department and revised the talking points to make them less specific than the C.I.A.’s original version, eliminating references to al-Qaeda and affiliates and earlier security warnings. There is no evidence, Scott, the White House orchestrated these changes."

I don't understand what he's saying here ... someone with more experience in this subject clue me in?

It sounds like he's saying that the GOP version is not 'fake' ... but rather, just an earlier, un-redacted version... And hence, in a sense, more 'real'.

Am I misreading that, or ???

BTW, how does this Garrett guy know what the CIA 'agreed' about, or 'what they did' in terms of removing references? Sounds like editorializing/guessing to me.
