The communist press launched all out war on Nixon.

The communist press won’t fire a squirt gun at Obama.

It IS a smoking gun. It completely provides the link to the Oval Office of the cover-up for Benghazi. What did he know and when did he know it.

If Benghazi had occurred in a Republican administration, due to incessant 24/7 media coverage calling for it, the president would have been forced to resign and the VP would have replaced him in the 2012 POTUS election.

I keep waiting for Krauthammer to use the L word. I don’t mean Liberal or Lesbian. I mean LIAR. It fits Obama like a glove. In the case of Benghazi it fits him like a pair of nylons.

Marah’s jaw latterly dropped when he started down the Watergate path.

What’s the over/under on how long it takes for the MSM claque to start the “old news - time to move on” response?

Tommy Vietor, in his FNC interview, illustrates the contempt the regime holds for the average working American. This documentary proof of Obama’s lies on Benghazi, would have devastated any Republican administration. I will be surprised if it is anything more than a minor bump in the road for the Democrats. If anything, it will push them to further restrict our freedom of speech. They are getting ready to ban offensive speech, offensive by collectivist opinion.

“The point is that Republicans have done a terrible job in building the case. Even today I have to say, the questioning was disjointed, it was not organized. If they had appointed a special committee a long time ago the way it was done in Watergate, you would have had answers on this and the country would be tired.”

I'm not sure what he meant by the last bit (the country would be tired?) but he's right. Even though questioning has gone on for ages now, it's only yielded hints.

The email is definitely a concrete thing, and I think it will set off other revelations, even inadvertently from people trying to protect Obama. Witness Vietor's stupid answers, in which he said several times that Obama was not in the Situation Room at any point during the attack, and in fact, nobody really seemed to know where he was ("in the White House"). He was actually trying to defend Obama, and I think he only realized after he had said it that this made Obama look even worse. More such things will happen.

Nancy Pelosi yesterday started that cry yesterday: “Can’t we talk about anything else?”

I watched the NBC Evening “News” last night with Brian Williams. Not one political story. Mainly covered the weather, Flight 370 and the NBA. Nothing even on the Ukraine, let alone Obamacare or Benghazi. Goebbels would be proud.

This is what happens when children are put in these positions.

It’s time for the adults to be back in charge.

“The communist press launched all out war on Nixon.

That statement cannot be improved upon. Nothing will happen...until the great guillotine fest following CW-II.

I still volunteer to run that guillotine.

What did he know and when did he know it.

And once that's established, then the push needs to be "Why did he lie about it?" - we know, or strongly suspect, at least, that there was an arms-running operation going on there, but 99+% of the public has no clue.

(if the president had been Republican) “the president would have been forced to “

And you know guys like Juan McCain & his gang of Republicrats—”moderate conservatives”—would have been banging on the WH doors, wanting to twist his arm: “It’s for the good of the country!”

With Democrats it’s: “You lie and I’ll swear to it.” We’re seeing it now with BLMgate, Benghazigate, IRSgate, NSAgate, and all the other `gates’.
Resign, Barry, for the good of the country.
