The same 60min will dismiss this as "Old News" three years from now.

"Old news" they couldn't be bothered to cover when it was new news.

I agree and am frankly surprised she is still employed by CBS. Sharyl Attkisson is a very good investigative reporter and straight shooter, she reports stories like they should be reported.

"I wonder if the cover up...the brazen lies...were due to a fast approaching Presidential election? Is it cynical for me to suspect that that was the case?"

Not at all. It's pretty obvious that's a big part of what was going on.

They do these reports when focus is elsewhere and way before the next election, so they can claim they covered the story.

Note all this info has never been used by their White House reporters to aggressively question any administration official.

And of course republicans don’t understand the need to take this and start debunking Hilary now.

Not anymore. The Audacity of Hoax has become brazen enough to let it all out. And why not? It isn’t like there’s anyone with the brass to make him accountable...

Hell, the Media was referring to Bengazi as old news about the time the elections kicked into high gear!!

"60 Minutes had an absolutely devastating report on the Obama administration’s failure..."

Devastating? Not for a Democrat regime. It would only devastate them if ALL the media made an issue out of it 24/7 for a few weeks.... and they wont.

It won’t change a thing, We’re all raciest if we think Obama did anything wrong. Obama supporters absolutely can not see the truth.

Good story but relatively soft on directly pinning down the Obama administration’s direct culpability. No indictment of Hillary, no mention of the disgusting lies about some anti-Muslim video that started a ‘spontaneous’ outburst. No mention of where was Obama that night and that he was up bright and early the next day to fly to Vegas for more fundraising.

No mention of Greg Hicks’ demotion for telling the true story, no mention of Panetta’s total inaction. Lots of innuendo and indirect implication of malfeasance but the story started out with a small silent shot of Jay Carney and a statement from Lara Logan that ‘both sides’ have been political about this. I think the administration got a hold of CBS and tamed this story down with a lot of clouds and equivocation.

This is as much as we are going to get. I fully expect the WH let this one get out and has the rest of the Gov’t run media on alert to start focusing their guns on some in-depth story on Ted Cruz’s dislike of baby kittens or something equally hard-hitting.

They claim they have been investigating for a year......

Just like they did on the George Bush National Guard story.... oh never mind, that was almost a day or so they 'investigated.'

Here’s a link to a complete script of the show

http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-18560_162-57609479/60-minutes-benghazi/

There are some things in the script I didn’t pick up on when I watched the show.

plus there’s additional video there as well.

Imagine that it took over a YEAR for a single investigative TV piece to have been broadcast about WATERGATE.

Now imagine further that that broadcast contained ZERO mentions of the Prez or the Number 2 in charge.

???????????????????

What we see here I think:

The left has now extracted maximum damage to America via GayMuzzie and now has to salvage some credibility:

So that they can now focus on promoting the next Great Satan, HILLARY.

The countdown started months ago. She’s already had her computers hacked. But she’s feisty, I’m betting she’ll be a survivor.
