I understand through a little bird, that the REPS are sitting on quite a bit of Benghazi and IRS information until after the first of the year. They want to make sure they have the full attention of the people leading into the fall election, making these issues front and center. Don’t know for sure but sounds pretty reasonable.

Benghazi is pretty much irrelvant at this point. It’s been too long and there were “only” four deaths. That combined with how the MSM will carry the Administration’s water in it means any attempt to sway undecided voters isn’t going to go anywhere.

The best that can be hoped for is that a Democrat in the 2016 primaries might be able to damage Hillary with it.

Same is pretty much true with the IRS. The public just doesn’t care, and won’t care. The potential upside tho is that it can probably be leveraged to tick off and motivate the base, including the various Conservative orgs that were targeted.

If that's the case, it shouldn't have sat on anything pertaining to Benghazi or IRS. The further away from the time at which these issues were hot, the less the public will care. Most Americans barely understand what a "Benghazi" is, much less glean anything as to why it matters. As for the IRS issue, the old self-preservation attitude is in play here. So long as the IRS is only targeting the hated "teabaggers," they don't feel any sense of danger. Sorry... I just don't have the same level of confidence in voters some do, anymore.
