Everyone missed what is now, in hindsight, a crystal clear signal that the White House knew that the buffalo chips were about to hit the fan; and that they are very worried.On April 21, the White House announced that Neil Eggleston would be the new counsel to the president. It didn't get much notice, but in light of recent events, it's a really big deal.
If you're interested, the link to the Politico story announcing the appointment, and detailing Eggleston's background, is here
This is what Eggleston does..and he's very, very good at it.
There's only one reason for the Obama administration to be bringing Eggleston back into the White House..they're worried, nervous, and very likely, there's much more bad news to come out..
We missed it, and we should have picked up on it..
FYI
Meh. I don’t agree. I may be one of the few on the Right that doesn’t see the new emails as meaning a whole lot. There are other issues that Issa screwed up, but these emails (speaking as a former Prosecutor) just aren’t a smoking gun for me. Sadly, I see this as no more than a very loud tempest in a teapot.
whatever is to come from the WH is not going to be good. Look Odumbo strived to inflate the numbers on OdumboCare and tried to have Boehner do an end around the illegal immigrantion. What do you expect for a fraud and a cheat!
Is this the criminal defense attorney we heard about.
I know it caught my interest. Egglestone was probably making a lot of money at that top tier law firm. Why would he want to go to work for the WH?
The cover up is obvious....but these aren't the smoking gun. That is still out there somewhere. Time to start offering immunity deals.
.
With the number of crisis on the horizon, it’s no wonder a single development was missed. This new counsel is much older than he was when he was in his prime. This could be a strategic blunder by playing today using yesterday’s rules.
I’ve seen this happen, lawyers can’t keep their energy forever.
Interesting idea. Thanks for posting.
The info. establishes what everyone thought. The Whitehouse generated the lie about the video.
The big deal is the fact that two congressional committees with oversight authority Supenaed that and all documents pertaining to Benghazi
The State Department and/or the Whitehouse did NOT turn them over to them. Instead It was released after a Federal judge ordered them to turn the documents over to Judicial Watch
Who filed a FOIA requst and had to file suit to get the Admin. to comply.
At the least someone in the Admin. Should go to jail for not complying with Congressional Supenas
Do you believe the White House is hiding something? If no your teapot is correct. However, if they are hiding something there is a big difference between a congressional hearing and a select committee in power and scope. Your metaphor needs to be extended. A tempest in a crumpling teapot that is incapable of holding the truth when exposed. What’s left? The tempest and a shattered teapot (Whitehouse trying to contain the tempest) of course.
What kind of crimes are we talking about? How long the possible sentence?
Good catch.
The problem is this regime plays hardball while Boehner can’t even find the playing field. He doesn’t know how to go above the press with a coherent message, or stay on offense. Gowdy needs to surround himself with pros and take it step by step.
Re: teapot
That email was widely distributed to whitehouse and campaign personnel. That shows operational protocol. If similar emails penetrate the whitehouse and campaign in IRS targeting .. It’s big.
Also, a conspiracy lasts only so long as the last man keeps the secret. There are potentially hundreds of people who know the real Benghazi facts.
The committee need to have an experience prosecutor questioning the witnesses..not this 5 minute crapola of grandstanding...NO speeches..just questions...
Of course not. You are a leftist infiltrator. A 'concern troll'.
But someday you will be removed. I guaran-damn-tee it.
there was a good deal of talk about his new employment...
the details of the Regimes NEED for cover were not 100% clear at that time.
The heat is ON!
There are numerous people whose job is to keep POTUS and SoS and SecDef updated in real time.
It’s what they’re paid to do.
Any story that indicates something different is BS.
