Benghazi 'scandal' officially over

[JuliefromOhio]

The White House yesterday afternoon released the inter-agency communications that went into crafting the "talking points" requested by Congress last September. Lawmakers already saw these materials months ago -- they found nothing controversial at the time -- but Republicans and the media decided it was time to see them again.

So, the administration, eager to put the matter to rest, released the documents. In turn, we learned what we already knew: there was no cover-up; State and the CIA engaged in a predictable bureaucratic "tug of war"; and this:

The internal debate did not include political interference from the White House, according to the e-mails, which were provided to congressional intelligence committees several months ago.

Technically, not until Fox News and RW Radio move to "IRS & Tea Party" and "AP wiretaps" and put it on the backburner.

Then..."magically"....all the rightwing bloggers will as well, despite how they told us how "vitally important" Benghazi was just days ago.

The Benghazi pseudo-scandal was a big nothing-burger from the beginning.

 

[as seen on tv]

julie - SERIOUSLY? you are completely ignorant of the fact that many news sites have now identified that the white house documents not only confirm political meddling and editing, but they reveal a 2 day gap while this took place?

i retract my rhetorical question. you clearly are. carry on. you're doing the best you can.

 

[NightSwimmer]

What? No links to wing-nut websites to back up your lies this time?

You're slipping.

you're pretty ignorant to think that you can post like Jen and people would believe you.

Did you forget something?

I think I am going to miss this entertainment at it fizzles off and the last smoking head of republican lawmakers scurry off to investigate the new OUTRAGE - IRS investigation should begin within 3 hours of Benghazi investigation closing.

 

[GordonGecko]

you wish

Okay, SOL...let's hear your prediction...."no later than" date for the impeachment over Benghazi?????

:smile:

Going to be kind of hard for them to explain why they barely mention Benghazi in the next few weeks or months....when it was an "outrageous scandal of monumental proportions" the first two weeks in May 2012?!?!!???!?!

He is not going to be impeached Gordo you can stop crying.

 

[GordonGecko]

He is not going to be impeached Gordo you can stop crying.

Why NOT, SOL? Tell me. And remember CONSTITUTIONALLY, a member of Congress is obligated to bring forth a bill of impeachment requiest in the House if they feel the President has engaged in deliberate, provable criminal activity.

So if they don't....your Republican Party really isn't worth a crap...is it?

 

[Sickofleft]

So you think he should be impeached?

 

[GordonGecko]

So you think he should be impeached?

If YOU think he is guilty of a criminal act, YOU MUST as someone who claims to support the US Constitution....support impeaching him.

Why don't you?

Additionally, why doesn't your Party....unless of course want to admit they don't share your view on his criminality (odd, given it's so "obvious") OR you think they don't give a rat's ass about the US Constitution.

 

[Minotaur]

It is going to be even harder trying to fit Hillary into the IRS "scandal"
