Fox News: “Why is the Obama Administration letting the CIA not confirm their tweet? Since they won’t confirm their tweet, what else is the agency hiding? Is this lack of confirmation a admittance of guilt about Benghazi?”

TPM: … Twitter has assured that no one is impersonating our nation’s intelligence officials.

I remember Clinton saying that the morning CIA briefings were so uninformative that he stopped reading them more than once a week or so, because he had already read or seen most of what they told him in the news.

So the idea that Twitter can confirm what the CIA can’t is really not that surprising.

A CIA agent walks into an impoverished country. Later, the elected leader is murdered and the US immediately recognizes the new government. Haha! What a sense of humor, those crazy guys.

Perhaps as “pride goeth before the fall” “honesty begetteth the rise”?

During its rendition they were careful to leave no marks on the right side of the little blue bird…

That’s a sense of humor?

Ok.

WRONG. That’s not CIA humor. They are being deadly serious.

Anybody know what contractor they hired to run their twitter account?
