Did CBS, Simon & Schuster, the FBI and Eric Holder Set Up Lara Logan?

Lara Logan is the most compelling and fearless reporter in American media. Watching her reports would literally make me sit up on the edge of my seat worrying for her safety (despite the fact that these reports were pre-recorded). She made the high paid news readers look like, well... news readers.

Seemingly after Lara Logan fell victim in Cairo at the hands (and fingers) of anti-western Jihadists she either saw the light or was finally willing to talk about things that liberal media elites never talk about... the problem with Islam. Lara Logan, the Emmy winning journalist was apparently willing to take on the Leftist Media Orthodoxy of ignoring the Islamist problem and blaming Israel and the West for the hate and intolerance coming out of the Islamic world. Lara Logan began saying things like this:

“There is this narrative coming out of Washington for the last two years,” Logan said. It is driven in part by “Taliban apologists,” who claim “they are just the poor moderate, gentler, kinder Taliban,” she added sarcastically. “It’s such nonsense!”

and this:

“What’s the one thing about Afghanistan that’s going to come home to haunt us? What we have done there for the last 11 years, our role in the Middle East, our role across the world, our way of life is under attack. If you think that’s government propaganda, if you think that’s nonsense, if you think that’s warmongering, you’re not listening to what the people who are fighting you say about this fight"

So what to do when a major Emmy award winning journalist with a prime-time platform takes on the Leftist Liberal Media Orthodoxy? You have to take her down. She is too dangerous, people might begin to wake up and listen.

Simon & Schuster is owned by CBS. A Book publisher has the responsibility of vetting a book before they publish it. Who vetted Dylan Davies’s book about the Benghazi Massacre, "The Embassy House"? In order to vet this book, Simon and Schuster had to contact Eric Holder's FBI and corroborate Dylan Davies Story.

Now check out this from the New York Times:

In a previous interview with The New York Times, Mr. Fager (the chairman of CBS News) said CBS had tried talking to the F.B.I. in advance of the report in an effort to determine what Mr. Davies had told the agency. The network’s sources led the program to believe that the account given to the F.B.I. was “in sync” with the interview Mr. Davies gave to “60 Minutes,” Mr. Fager said.

Did Eric Holder's FBI intentionally withhold the information from Lara Logan and her Producer in order to discredit this "rogue" journalist? Did operatives at Simon & Schuster conspire with Eric Holder to stop this journalist from reporting outside of the leftist orthodoxy?

We know that the census bureau created false employment statistics to assist the 2012 reelection of Barack Obama, we know that the IRS targeted primarily right wing organizations to suppress freedom of speech and dissemination of information, we know that Eric Holder's ATF let guns walk across the border with no way to track them, to what end? To create fear of guns and thus implement gun control? This administration, this government is so corrupt and we know that left wingers will lie, cheat and steal in the most corrupt and despicable ways in order to accomplish their radical agenda. An act as corrupt and evil as this would merely generate a round of high fives from this ilk. I put nothing past this group of strident ideologues who will stop at nothing to achieve their unholy agenda.
