Trey Gowdy Altered Benghazi Documents to Frame Hillary Clinton-Disputed!
 ​
Summary of eRumor:
Trey Gowdy, the congressman leading the investigation into the attack on the U.S. embassy in Benghazi, altered documents in an effort to frame Hillary Clinton.
 
The Truth:
Trey Gowdy, a Republican assemblyman from South Carolina, has been accused of altering Benghazi documents — but he disputes those claims.
Gowdy is the chairman of the House Select Committee on Benghazi, the congressional panel investigating an attack on a U.S. embassy in Benghazi that left four Americans dead.
Trey Gowdy asserted in a letter that an email from Hillary Clinton to outside advisor Sidney Blumenthal contained the classified name of an informant that the intelligence community relies upon, stating, “This information, the name of a human source, is some of the most protected information in our intelligence community, the release of which could jeopardize not only national security but human lives.”

 ​

Rep. Elija Cummings, the ranking Democrat on the select committee, then wrote a letter requesting that Gowdy correct the record after the CIA confirmed that the name of the informant was not classified, “debunking” Gowdy’s claim. Cummings also accused Gowdy of altering a document by adding redactions to make it appear that Clinton had leaked confidential information:
To further inflate your claim, you placed your own redactions over the name of the individual with the words, “redacted due to sources and methods.”  To be clear, these redactions were not made, and these words were not added, by any agency of the federal government responsible for enforcing classification guidelines.
Predictably, commentators began repeating your accusations in even more extreme terms, suggesting in headlines for example that “Clinton Burns CIA Libya Contact.”
Contrary to your claims, the CIA yesterday informed both the Republican and Democratic staffs of the Select Committee that they do not consider the information you highlighted in your letter to be classified.  Specifically, the CIA confirmed that “the State Department consulted with the CIA on this production, the CIA reviewed these documents, and the CIA made no redactions to protect classified information.”
Trey Gowdy denied the claim that the CIA had “debunked” his claims about Hillary Clinton in a letter to Cummings. Gowdy also said that the executive branch, not the CIA, declassified the informant’s name:
Contrary to your assertion, the CIA did not inform the committee that anything about the facts stated in the October 7 letter “(was) wrong.” As usual, I would ask you to completely and accurately relate the facts rather than attempt to create an impression that is misleading based on an incomplete and selection recitation of the facts. In fact, my understanding is the CIA advised the committee in a very brief email late Saturday night that it had reviewed the material in question and asked for no material to be redacted. In fact, the name of the alleged source was redacted from the material cleared for public release by someone in the executive branch…”
So, it’s true that the ranking Democrat on the House Select Committee on Benghazi accused Trey Gowdy of misrepresenting facts and altering a document to paint Hillary Clinton in a negative light — but Gowdy has disputed those allegations. The CIA has declined to weigh-in publicly.

A real example of the eRumor as it has appeared on the Internet: Collected on: 10/25/2015
In a bombshell revelation, the Central Intelligence Agency reached out to Democrats serving on the Select Committee on Benghazi on Saturday to confirm that Chairman Trey Gowdy had altered documents provided to the committee by Hillary Clinton.
 
 
 
 
Don't let the facts get in your way
 
 
Washington Examiner:

An Air Force whistleblower says his team could have provided reinforcements to the Americans under attack in Benghazi in September 2012, contrary to the Obama administration’s claims that the military provided the maximum possible support for the embattled diplomatic staff.
“I definitely believe that our aircraft could have taken off and got there in a timely manner, maybe three hours at the most, in order to basically at least stop that second mortar attack and have those guys running for the hills,” a man purportedly stationed at Aviano Air Force base in Italy told Fox News on the condition of anonymity.
That’s a particularly explosive claim, given that two of the four Americans who died in the attacks were killed in the second wave of attacks, which targeted a CIA annex the morning of Sept. 12. But the whistleblower has not spoken to Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., who is chairman of the select committee investigating the attacks, because “there are so many ways you can get screwed over” for cooperating with lawmakers.
 
This week on her show, "Full Measure," Attkisson looked into the aborted rescue mission in an in-depth two-part report, "Rescue Interrupted," which you can watch here and here. She spoke with a Green Beret commander who told her that there were actually Special Forces on their way to Benghazi who were turned back.
 
"Those individuals I know loaded aircraft and got on their way to Benghazi to respond to that incident. They were not allowed to cross the border as per protocol until they got approval from the commander in chief," Wood explained.  "That authority has to come from him or they're not allowed to enter the country."
 
Attkisson told Malzberg, "This is something that the president and the White House has steadfastly denied, but there's now what I would call an overwhelming body of evidence that leads us to believe that somebody stopped a number of teams and potential rescuers from entering Libya or going to Benghazi to help while those attacks were underway."
