State Dept. Finally Admits It Tampered With Video Of Iran Deal

Fox News Exclusive Report and a CNN News Video;

According to a Fox News exclusive Report, the State Department's Top Attorney discovered and verified the identity of the official who ordered censorship of the 2013 press briefing to deliberately delete the exchange between the Fox News Reporter and a Department Spokeswoman. The Attorney also found information on that was buried in a new report ( http://www.state.gov/s/l/ ) and that it contradicted the public statments of John Kirby the State Department Spokesman made in a 33 minute grilling

( http://video.state.gov/en/video/5089628134001 ) about the reports results. State still maintains they don't know if the removal of the 12/2/13 8 minute segment between Jen Pataki and James Rosen was a glitch or if it was deliberate.

The segment contained questioning done by Rosen of Victoria Nuland

( http://www.state.gov/r/pa/prs/dpb/2013/02/203838.htm ) Where Rosen asked if the US and Iran were secretly talking. Nuland denied talks were ongoing and later claimed she was kept in the dark when it came out that the talks had been going on for over a year when she made the initial statement to the press. Ross was confronting Psaki ( http://video.state.gov/en/video/2886914568001 ) about the false information Nuland made in her earlier statement by asking if State had Lied to preserve the Secrecy of the Negotiations. Psaki stated it was a good example. Then ( http://www.mediaite.com/tv/state-department-appears-to-edit-briefin... ) for the next two years the altered video was on the Official Web Page of the State Department to mislead the public. I wonder if the original orders came from Obama, Clinton, or if they came from another State Department Executive to provide plausible deniability.

Kirby made a statement Thursday that when questioned about the incident a tech in Public Affairs stated that a call was received by telephone from a 'Female Superior' in December 2013 who ordered the specific editing to be done to the video, and of course the tech could not remember who that 'Female Superior' was but did not believe it came from Pataki. Kirby made a further odd statement suggesting there was no evidence to support the theory that it was done to conceal information from the public. Reiterating that there was no evidence who placed the call or why it was placed. Kirby in a typical move to obfuscate the information omitted the fact that the legal advisors report was shared with news agencies on condition they would not publish a full disclosure that would have outlined why the 'Female Supervisor' demanded it's redaction in his report "Evidence of purposeful editing"

While the tech did"not" recall the reason for the edit the tech indicated the "Female Supervisor" listed the start and end times for the edit. It seems highly suspicious that the tech could remember all of these petty details and yet he could not remember who had ordered them. Another thing that was disclosed about this incident that the 'Female Superior' specified that it was the Fox News Reporter's questions about Iran was part of the specific demand for the edit excising the entire set of questions about Iran and the deal. That smacks of deliberate cover up and/or censorship on the part of the 'Female Superior'. Was there any collusion when State ( Through Kirby )tried to down play this overt Censorship stating the content had been discussed previously? To date the State Department Investigators have not publicly acknowledged any more of this.

This brings us back to Psaki who has moved on from State to becoming the White House communications director (go figure). In view of the statement by Psaki confirmed the administration lied to protect the secrecy of those negotiations. ( What a wonderfully transparent administration we have.) Another critical point the officials need to address is if the Videos of the State Department briefings are Federal Records. If they are, then everyone involved including the 'Female Superior' have broken a Federal Law, namely "The Federal Records Act of 1950". It is a Federal Crime to tamper with Federal Records. Strangely enough Obama extended that Law to cover "Electronic Records". The question now is; Will the Obama Administration place itself and the appointees above the law as has allegedly happened in the past for this breach of that Act?

To date the National Archives Records Administration has declined to clarify if the videos constitute Federal Records as specified under the Act by the NARA. Consider this; The videos are shot using taxpayer paid for personnel and materials, and are maintained by Federal Employees who's salaries are paid for by Taxpayers money.
