In her position at OTA, Weissgold was also involved directly in drafting the now infamous Benghazi talking points, which government officials revised heavily to include factually incorrect assessments that stated the attackers were prompted by protests. According to the House Select Committee on Benghazi's report, Weissgold testified she had changed one such talking point to say that extremists in Benghazi with ties to al Qaeda had been involved in "protests" in the Libyan city, despite the fact that no such protests had occurred there on the day of the attack.
For Weissgold to, in part, manufacture and lie to the American people about these less-than-truthful Benghazi talking points is a dark spot that rises to the level of life and career decision. Not good.
