It’s a Sharia compliant financial transaction too.

” Nearly the entire body of government we have now makes me sick. “

The Republicans joined the Democrats, and wholesaled our country to the highest bidder.

The fact that this took months to see a hearing pretty well proves it. And then shipped the basics. Who, what, when, where and WHY.

Not over? Those were the foundation questions, not a followup/afterthought.

LOL! The sequestration is probably what caused Guam to tip over too.

” shipped the basics. Who, what, when, where and WHY.”

Just touched upon near the end. 2 or 3 more hearings, and they might get there. But I’m CERTAIN that Boehner is trying to figure out how to bury the entire episode.

They’re in a cage and they know it. Just like monkeys, either you eat the poop or you throw it. They’re throwing it BIG TIME.

C-SPAN is replaying it right now.

Were you able to watch the hearing?

If not, repeating now on C-SPAN 3;

Highlights on C-SPAN (NOT C-span 3) at 9pm tonight and Sun 10:30am.

I watched it all. Except for the Dems, it was excellent & revelational (is that a word?). It also confirmed many things we knew or suspected.

Touched upon when they should have been asked by the first questioner.

WHO was responsible for the stand down order
WHAT was a top diplomat doing with terrorist linked guards.
WHERE did the decision to blame the video originate
WHEN did Obama last receive direct info on the attack and WHEN did he go incommunicado

and WHY is the entire Democrat Party perpetuating the video lie to rhis day in media and legal congressional testimony?

For starters. Then the next questioner can expand on those. And so on.

I’m with you. Without these questions answered , we have nothing to hang them with.

Those or directly related questions should have laid the foundation. Hell I know that laying a foundation is paramount for making any case and I’m no lawdog.

No excuse for a bunch of lawyers to NOT do it. None.

Like the fact that the bodies went to a hospital controlled by the attackers.

The terrorists were tweeting it as it happened.
