New James O’Keefe video implicates sitting Dem congressman, son in voter fraud

Moran’s salaried field director, who happens to be his son Pat, was caught on tape discussing how to commit fraud with an undercover Project Veritas reporter. The reporter tells Moran he is looking to vote in other people’s names — 100 names, to be exact. He asks Moran for help in seeing it through. Moran’s solution: prepare fake utility bills in order to skirt voter ID laws. Moran goes on to tell the reporter that a DNC attorney would gladly argue on the fraudster’s behalf. In other words, Moran and the DNC would be complicit in the voter fraud.

The video is nothing short of astounding. Shakespearean: Congressman's son and director teaching us how to forge utility bills, vote in others' names.

To all those Democrats and liberals who insist that voter fraud is nothing more than a Republican bogeyman: what do you have to say about this? How can you continue to deny the truth? Absolutely. And Pat Moran’s willingness to engage in blatant criminal activity and his assurance that the DNC will cooperate in said activity suggest a disturbing comfort with corruption that likely runs deep within his father’s campaign and shady political career. If Jim Moran does not resign after this, he will not only be sending the message that election integrity doesn’t matter, but he will be actively condoning criminal behavior. If he has any shred of honor, he will back out now. Sunlight is the best disinfectant.

Arrogant White House blows off Benghazi emails: We get ‘emails about all sorts of information’

The White House this morning attempted to down-play the significance of emails sent to top national security officials during the attack on the diplomatic post in Benghazi, Libya, on September 11, one of which suggested a known terrorist group claimed credit for the attack in its immediate aftermath.

White House officials maintained that the emails don’t contradict what the White House believed at that point, based on the intelligence community’s assessment of the attack. The views of the intelligence community are valued far more than Facebook and twitter claims, officials said, describing that email as an unclassified ops alert email, not a vetted intelligence assessment. It was not definitive, but rather the act of flagging open source reporting referencing a Facebook post, and – officials noted — on September 17, Ansar al-Sharia denied responsibility for the attack.

Carney today told reporters that there were emails about all sorts of information that was coming available in the aftermath of the attack. “There was a variety of information coming in,” Carney said. “The whole point of an intelligence community and what they do is to assess strands of information and make judgments about what happened and who was responsible.”

Moreover, officials said, the intelligence community still believes there wasn’t a tremendous amount of planning before the attack. A terrorist group carrying it out doesn’t mean it wasn’t an opportunistic attack, officials said.

The first email, with a subject line of “U.S. Diplomatic Mission in Benghazi Under Attack,” sent about 25 minutes after the attack began, states: “Regional Security Officer reports the diplomatic mission is under attack. Embassy Tripoli reports approximately 20 armed people fired shots; explosions have been heard as well. Ambassador Stevens, who is currently in Benghazi, and four COM (Chief of Mission) personnel are in the compound safe haven. The 17th of February militia is providing security support.”

The next email sent at 4:54 PM states that the shooting has stopped and the compound was cleared, adding that a response team was “onsite attempting to locate COM personnel.”
