Tinker:
"Benghazi"
What did NBC,ABC,CBS, CNN, know - and when did they know it?----------------------
http://www.foxnews.com/
State Department's Benghazi review panel under investigation, Fox News confirms
The IG's office is said by well-placed sources to be seeking to determine whether the Accountability Review Board, or ARB -- led by former U.N. Ambassador Thomas Pickering and former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Adm. Mike Mullen -- failed to interview key witnesses who had asked to provide their accounts of the Benghazi attacks to the panel.
The IG's office notified the department of the "special review" on March 28, according to Doug Welty, the congressional and public affairs officer of the IG's office.
This disclosure marks a significant turn in the ongoing Benghazi case, as it calls into question the reliability of the blue-ribbon panel that then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton convened to review the entire matter. Until the report was concluded, she and all other senior Obama administration officials regularly refused to answer questions about what happened in Benghazi.
But State Department spokesman Patrick Ventrell disputed the characterization of the review, saying it is "simply false" to assert the panel is being investigated.
"Rather, it is conducting a review of the ARB process itself going back two decades, looking at how Boards are convened, their standards, and the implementation of ARB recommendations," he said.
Since the ARB report was issued in December -- finding that "systemic failures and leadership and management deficiencies at senior levels" well below Clinton were to blame for the "inadequate" security at Benghazi -- Clinton and other top officials have routinely referred questioners to the conclusions of the board report. Now the methodology and final product of the ARB are themselves coming under the scrutiny of the department's own top auditor.
On Wednesday, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said: "The Accountability Review Board which investigated this matter -- and I think in no one's estimation sugarcoated what happened there or pulled any punches when it came to holding accountable individuals that they felt had not successfully executed their responsibilities -- heard from everyone and invited everyone. So there was a clear indication there that everyone who had something to say was welcome to provide information to the Accountability Review Board."
On Monday, State Department spokesman Patrick Ventrell said of the ARB's work: "We think that we've done an independent investigation, that it's been transparent, thorough, credible, and detailed, and ... we've shared those findings with the U.S. Congress."
In an interview for the Fox News program "Geraldo" taped Thursday afternoon and set to air this weekend, Joe diGenova, a former U.S. attorney, told host Geraldo Rivera that he is legally representing a career State Department officer whom the board failed to interview. DiGenova called the ARB a "cover-up."
DiGenova and his wife Victoria Toensing, a former Justice Department official who represents another State Department whistle-blower in the Benghazi case, said their respective clients will testify next Wednesday at a hearing of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee being chaired by Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif.
Asked to comment for this article, a senior State Department official told Fox News the IG probe is not a "formal investigation" but rather a review process, and one, moreover, that will examine previous ARBs in addition to the one established after Benghazi.
The official noted that the department had published a notice early on instructing employees on how they could furnish information to the ARB for Benghazi, and that the panel ultimately interviewed more than 100 witnesses.
The original law that established accountability review boards mandates that they act completely independently, the official said, adding that the department in this case neither sought nor enjoyed any influence over the panel's work.

LSU Tigers
SEC
BATON ROUGE, La. -- At LSU, the offseason is not the same as a "slow" season.
The Tigers are always good for offseason news and, as recent events tell us with the off-field arrests of Jeremy Hill and Tharold Simon (on his way to the NFL), the news isn't always good.
Things never get boring on the bayou. Here are five storylines to look out for prior to LSU starting August camp.
1. The Hill issue:
LSU's leading rusher from the 2012 season has been suspended from the
team indefinitely after being charged with simple assault following a
bar fight, an arrest complicated by the fact that Hill was already on
probation.
The questions are many. Does Hill face a serious legal problem given his probation? If he does, will he still be available at the start of the fall semester?
If he doesn't face a serious legal issue, might he face a discipline issue from Les Miles and, if so, what might that be?
The Tigers have just four scholarship running backs, including Hill. Losing him before the first August practice could hurt LSU's power running identity.
2. The Leslie situation: What might cushion the blow of either losing Hill or seeing him serve a lengthy suspension would be improvement to the Tigers' sometimes anemic passing game.
That's where junior college transfer Quantavius Leslie comes in.
The Hinds Community College sophomore needs to finish coursework at his junior college to be eligible to join the Tigers this summer. If he makes it, the hope is he gives LSU the big, downfield threat it's looking for. LSU has plenty of experience back at receiver, but all of the top receivers are around 6-foot tall. Leslie would add something the Tigers currently lack.
The hope was that Leslie would graduate at the end of the fall of 2012 and join the team in the spring semester. That did not happen and he had to return to junior college to finish his degree requirements. Reports from his juco have been good, but Leslie still has to finish.
3. Scheduling: LSU seems to be in the minority in being unhappy with the SEC schedule format.
The Tigers are stuck having to play an annual game with Florida as its "permanent" cross-division rival while the other SEC West kingpin, Alabama, gets to play Tennessee, which has struggled in recent years.
LSU's preference would be to eliminate the permanent cross-division rivalry or, possibly, add a ninth SEC game. Neither idea seems to have much traction as the conference members, for the most part, are content with their league schedules. But LSU will try again in both fronts at the SEC spring meetings later this month.
4. Youth is ready?: We usually think of a new recruiting class beginning to compete for playing time in August.
In reality, it starts much sooner than that. Eight members of LSU's recruiting class enrolled in spring and several made pushes to be on the two-deep. The rest of the class will be on campus in June, ready to go through the offseason workout program.
By the start of August camp, we might already have an idea who is ready to push for time based on what we're hearing about their offseason work.
5. Pursuing the 2014 class: Given an unusually strong year for talent in Louisiana, LSU has a legitimate chance at a No. 1 recruiting class nationally.
The Tigers entered May with nine commitments and are on the short list for several uncommitted players in the ESPN 150. Starting with LSU's late-May "Bayou Picnic" for top prospects and continuing with a pair of summer camps in early June and mid-July, the Tigers will have a series of recruiting events that traditionally have yielded the Tigers dividends in its recruiting classes.
This year, LSU will hope to use the camp to land some big names from the state and the region in a year where Louisiana has the nation's top prospect (running back Leonard Fournette) and its top offensive lineman (tackle Cameron Robinson), among several other top recruits.

Hobbs Column: Expect more of the same from LSU
By Scooter Hobbs / American Press
Overheard in the lobby before Les Miles addressed the now semi-annual LSU Tiger Tour at L’Auberge Tuesday night, spoken by an obvious fan:
“I’m afraid this could be another 10-2 season.”
Mind you, it was muttered, not with excitement, not with typical LSU bravado, but somewhat with resignation.
As in … not much of a parade this year.
And this guy was old enough to remember LSU’s lost decade of the 1990s when 10-2 seemed like a pipe dream.
So that’s what Miles was dealing with in this Golden Age of LSU football. That’s the monster he has nurtured with the Tigers, where anything less than a national championship is only barely tolerated and anything less than an SEC title is considered a waste of time.
Even with Alabama in the same division — maybe especially with Alabama as an archrival.
Sky-high expectations — often bordering on unrealistic — has always been one of real charms of that special species known as the LSU fan.
Miles’ eyes were wide open when he took the job, and it hasn’t gotten any easier with the success he’s had.
But it wasn’t really so tough a crowd inside Tuesday night — it’s still April, after all. But even if it had been, we’ll probably never know.
Miles can be a funny guy. As we know, he has his quirks, his puzzling turns of a phrase, his occasional need of a translator for an adopted state that sometimes strays from the King’s English.
It has potential for comical Q&A.
So there was a packed ballroom of eager LSU fans who surely had some pertinent questions, maybe some pointed ones too.
They paid good money for this. Miles gets paid much better money to put up with this stuff. The alums anted up some more in an auction. There were in a good mood.
They also couldn’t get a word in.
This event would be so much better if LSU would just trust Les to be Les.
Instead, like so many big institutions these days, the school seems obsessed with controlling the information flow.
Gordy Rush, former co-host of one of the best postgame college football radio shows in the country, is an able interviewer. Which is fortunate because he was the only one in the ballroom who got to question Miles.
Rush does a good job, and give him credit for bringing the pesky Jeremy Hill situation to Miles’ attention.
There was a separate room set aside for local media to pepper Miles with questions, so this isn’t a personal complaint.
But we media get Miles all year.
So what’s the harm in letting fans and alums have a chance to fire one up at their head coach?
In the past, Miles always handled that part well. But in recent years, the audience seems expected to remain just the audience and lap up whatever LSU decides to dish out.
Believe me, Miles could handle them.
It’s basically preaching to the choir anyway.
One of the biggest ovations of the night responded to the word that Tiger Stadium’s new south end zone upper deck, built above the club suites, will include a convenient upper-upper-deck to stash visiting fans.
When asked to address the fact that his top running back, Hill, has been suspended indefinitely, courtesy of the misdemeanor charges that arose from his part in an off-campus lounge dust-up last weekend.
”He will be separated him from this team and allow him to work through what are his issues,” Miles said, sounding as annoyed and frustrated as the fans who’ve wondered all weekend how you fix stupid.
Miles probably spoke for the entire room when he related the conversation he had with Hill, the Tigers’ leading rusher last year, along with his parents and minister.
“I asked him what his grade point was?” Miles said. “He said 3.2 (GPA). I said, how can you be such a good student, be such a good player, and not have it all together? What put you in this situation?”
Miles said Hill told him, “Coach, I’m going to fix that situation.”
“I like that answer,” Miles said. “I told him you do your business, you communicate with me along the way, and let’s see how it goes.”
Miles had a ringside seat in New York last week, commentating for the NFL network, which afforded him the perfect view to watch his defense disappear before his very eyes.
Six starters went in the first three rounds — which has never happened to any school before — and when the pros were done picking him clean, he’d lost nine underclassmen.
“That’s what our players are supposed to do,” he said proudly before the event, sounding like an overzealous Little League daddy. “That’s the kind of players we bring to LSU.
“We’ve got more of them waiting their turn.”
That’s what they wanted to hear.

Good morning, Tiger Fans. It was great hearing from several of you yesterday about the catfish courbouillon recipe I posted. I hope some of you give it a shot and let me know how it works for you.
The LSU baseball team kicked off a big SEC series last night with a 3-2 win over Florida in a great game on national TV. With the win, LSU improved to 41-6 overall and 17-5 in the SEC. And with Aaron Nola and Ryan Eades set to go in Games 2 and 3, I feel good about LSU’s chances of winning the series, if not sweeping it.
Cody Glenn got the start on the mound for the Tigers and had an impressive outing. Through six and two-thirds innings pitched, Glenn allowed five hits and two runs (one earned) while walking one and striking out a career-high six batters. There was a stretch between the third and seventh innings when Glenn retired 12 consecutive batters. Nick Rumbelow entered with two outs in the seventh with a runner in scoring position and did his job to strike out the one batter he faced. Joey Bourgeois pitched a scoreless eighth inning and was credited with the win, while Chris Cotton pitched a perfect ninth and was credited with the save.
The Tigers were led at the plate by Mason Katz who went 2-for-4 with one RBI, and Alex Bregman and Christian Ibarra who each went 2-for-3. Jacoby Jones showed his great potential at the plate with a long home run in the fourth, but struck out in his other three trips to the plate. Ty Ross ended 0-for-3 but hit a clutch RBI sacrifice fly on a great at-bat in the eighth to give LSU a 3-2 lead.
Here’s a quick scoring summary: The Gators got on the board in the third inning on a somewhat controversial call. With the bases loaded and one out, Glenn fielded a ground ball in front of the mound and got the force out at home, and then Ross fired the ball to first in an attempt to get two, but Katz couldn't hold on to the ball. It appeared to me as I watched at home that the base runner interfered by running inside the baseline, but interference was not called, much to the chagrin of Coach Maineri. Katz quickly evened the score in the following frame with his SEC-leading 62nd RBI on a single to left field. In the Tigers’ fourth, Jones delivered the towering homer I mentioned earlier to give LSU a 2-1 advantage. Florida rallied back in the seventh with an RBI double, tying the game at 2-2. LSU started the eighth inning with back-to-back singles from Alex Bregman and Katz to put runners on first and second, and then Rhymes popped out for the first out. After a wild pitch that advanced the runners, Christian Ibarra was intentionally walked to load the bases. That’s when Ross came to the plate and delivered the game-winning RBI on a flyout to center, scoring Bregman from third.
Game 2 of the LSU-Florida series is set for tonight at 6:30 p.m. and will be televised by CSS/CST. Game 3 will be played Saturday at noon and will be televised by ESPN.
In other baseball news, the SEC announced that the LSU-Ole Miss game on Thursday, May 16 will air on ESPNU at 6:30 p.m. CT, and the Tigers-Rebels matchup on Saturday, May 18 will air on the CBS Sports Network at 12 p.m. CT. Game 2 of the series on Friday, May 17 will air on Cox Sports Television at 7 p.m. CT, as announced prior to the start of the season. These new additions to the TV schedule mean that all 9 of LSU's remaining regular-season games will be televised by national or regional networks. (See the complete schedule here.)
The SEC, along with ESPN, also announced the launching of the SEC Network, which will begin broadcasting in August 2014. So what exactly does that mean for SEC sports fans? Here's how ESPN answers that question on their site: “Well, you’ll get your fill of SEC football, basketball, baseball and other sports on the 24-hour network, including 45 football games. There will also be special shows for such events as national signing day and pro timing days.”
In football news, there were some reports of LSU playing Wisconsin in Houston in 2014 in the Texas Kickoff Classic at Reliant Stadium, but LSU has denied the report, saying the deal is not finalized. According to LSU associate athletic director Verge Ausberry, nothing has been finalized and they are still talking to several other teams.
Since things are relatively quiet on the football front, I'll leave you with these three articles to read before you start your workday. First here's one by ESPN about LSU’s offseason storylines. Then there's this one by Scooter Hobbs entitled “Expect more of the same from LSU,” and this one by the Times Picayune called, “LSU's Jeremy Hill's attorney says video doesn't show whole story.”

Robert Bayardo, 20, booked on second-degree battery

A second man has been arrested relating the bar fight which has resulted in the arrest and suspension of LSU running back Jeremy Hill.
Robert Bayardo, 20, was charged with second-degree battery and booked in East Baton Rouge Parish Prison today. Bayardo, who has no relationship with the LSU football team, is accused of delivering a punch to the back of the head of the same man Hill allegedly punched first during a fight at Reggie’s Bar on April 27.
Unlike Hill’s simple battery charge, Bayardo’s charge is a felony.
Police department spokesman Don Kelly said the entire incident is on film. Hill is seen punching the victim first as he is walking away, and Bayardo is then seen punching the victim, knocking him unconscious. Hill and Bayardo then exchanged high fives, according to Kelly.
Hill is on probation after pleading guilty to carnal knowledge of a juvenile in an incident that occurred during his senior year of high school at Redemptorist in Baton Rouge. If a city court judge rules Hill violated his probation by getting arrested in this case, he could go to jail.
