excerpt:


Full exchange:


BRET BAIER: The 14th is the day you’re talking about. According to the e-mails and the time line, the CIA circulates new talking points after they’ve removed the mention of al Qaeda, and then at 6:21 the White House– you — add a line about the administration warning of September 10th of social media reports calling for demonstrations. True?


TOMMY VIETOR: I believe so.


BAIER: Did you also change “attacks” to “demonstrations” in the talking points?


VIETOR: Maybe. I don’t really remember.


BAIER: You don’t remember?


VIETOR: Dude, this was like two years ago. We’re still talking about the most mundane process.


BAIER: Dude, it is the thing that everybody is talking about.


VIETOR: We’re talking about the process of editing talking points. That’s what bureaucrats do all day long. Your producers edit scripts multiple times.
