The cover up is worse than the original crime. When the president conspires with others in government to lie to the American people and claim "national security" as a defense, the congress has a duty and precedent to get to the truth. Lying to the America people and ordering subordinates to lie in a cover up attempt is historically recognized as high crimes and treason and IS definitely an impeachable offense.
When the president of the United States commits high crimes and treason and then lies to the American people and conspires to hide it from congressional investigators and claims national security in an attempt to cover it up, not even his own party can save him.
Historical precedence:
Watergate 1/5 : Break-in: youtube 1/5
Watergate 2/5 : Cover-up: youtube 2/5
Watergate 3/5 : Scapegoat: youtube 3/5
Watergate 4/5 : Massacre: youtube4/5
Watergate 5/5 : Impeachment: youtube 5/5
What did the president know and when did he know it?
Going to be something to see all the unfortunate co-conspirators in this tragic affair frog-marched off to jail.
Excellent work by Jim.
Then make it a feeding frenzy on the internet, on talk radio and on Fox News.
48% of the voting public apparently doesn't listen to to the Marxist Media anyway. Add to that the millions of people who didn't vote in the last election because they are so turned off by all the politician.
Then Impeach the president. Make the president go on the defensive leaving him little time to damage the country further. Then make the Democrat Senators pay when they are up for reelection after they don't remove him.
Thanks for your reply. Those are all interesting points; points that I hadn’t considered in that form.
Petraeus certainly won’t go down without taking others with him.
However, it remains to be seen if Congressional investigations will be political theater, or something that will cause Obama to lose sleep.
I DO plan to stay tuned to this bat channel for updates.
Thanks for the ping, Onyx. Good work, Jim. I am praying hard he gets taken down and that whole infestation gets dissembled.
Indeed. Buuuuump!
I f there is enought evidence against him, I don’t see how the Senate dems can let him get away with it. This is much more serious than sex under the desk scandal. 4 men died and they had a huge cover up in front of the whole nation. The CBC would be the only ones that vote against his removal from office screaming racism the whole time. They don’t care that 4 white men died in Benghazi or how it happened. They are too stupid.
The only people that will be screaming racism are the CBC and they are the most racist bunch in Washington. Everyone has begun to ignore them, after all, BO did get re-elected. They can’t claim this anymore.
Thanks for the ping onyx. I’ll see if I can fit in some of what Jim posted.

Libya's Deadliest Weapons Not Yet Controlled

Libyan rebels fear Gadhafi is preparing mustard gas
In this Thursday, April 21, 2011, photo, a Libyan rebel on horseback holds his weapon up during a march on behalf of prisoners of war and the missing in Benghazi, Libya. U.S. Sen. John McCain, one of the strongest proponents in Congress of the American military intervention in Libya, said Friday, April 22, 2011, that Libyan rebels fighting Moammar Gadhafi’s troops are his heroes.
Col. Moammar Gadhafi’s troops in and around the rebel-held western Libyan city of Misrata have been issued gas masks, a sign that the regime may be preparing to use chemical weapons, rebels told The Washington Times on Wednesday.
The regime is thought to have 9 tons of poisonous mustard gas at a secret desert location near Col. Gadhafi’s hometown, Sirte, multiple sources in Libya said.
In New York, a special prosecutor for the International Criminal Court appeared before the U.N. Security Council to describe what he called “evidence” of “widespread and systematic” attacks on civilians by Col. Gadhafi’s forces.
Rebels received what they called reliable eyewitness accounts from Misrata residents who reported seeing gas masks distributed to Col. Gadhafi’s forces, said Mohamed, a spokesman in Misrata who asked that his last name be withheld.
“We have alerted the town to that fact and what Gadhafi could be up to,” Mohamed said. “We don’t have gas masks. We don’t know how to deal with this, but we will defend our city with our lives.”
Over the past week, pro-Gadhafi forces have retreated to the town of Zliten, situated to Misrata’s west. The troops, which suffered heavy losses under a barrage of NATO airstrikes and rebel fire, are now being commanded by one of Col. Gadhafi’s sons, Al-Mutasim Gadhafi.
“Al-Mutasim is just as brutal as his father and quite capable of using chemical weapons,” said Moham

US concerned about security for mustard gas, chemicals in Libya
Proliferation analysts generally assess that Libya has close to 14 tons of mustard gas that it has not destroyed
U.S. military and intelligence officials are closely watching Libya's stockpiles of mustard gas and their precursor chemicals as the North African country descends further into civil war.
Proliferation analysts generally assess that Libya has close to 14 tons of mustard gas that it has not destroyed despite the announcement in 2003 that it would dismantle its weapons of mass destruction program.
“Obviously, the security of the Libyan stockpile of chemical weapons is a concern,” a U.S. intelligence official told The Washington Times.
“You could see a scenario where [Libyan dictator Moammar] Gadhafi takes troops away from these [stockpiles],” a Senate aide monitoring the situation in Libya said. “He could be pulling his security forces off of his missions, and bring them to Tripoli and Benghazi and other towns he needs to secure to hold on to his regime and, as a result, these facilities will be unguarded.”
On Wednesday, Libyans in the eastern part of the country celebrated their liberation from Col. Gadhafi and vowed to free the capital, Tripoli, where Gadhafi forces attacked protesters with heavy arms. In a rambling, nationally televised speech Tuesday, Col. Gadhafi vowed to die a “martyr.”

Gaddafi’s Chemical Weapons Factory Found
The al-Sadd battalion was guarding the chemical weapons factory and warehouse. However, the battalion has since withdrawn to Misratah, leaving a stockpile of deadly weapons vulnerable to theft.
The current number of guards at the chemical weapons site, which contains 9 tons of mustard gas and dozens of barrels contaminated with chemicals, is just two men armed with Kalashnikov rifles.
Hamzah al-Shaibani, spokesman for the “17 February revolution committee” said in a telephone interview with Asharq al-Awsat yesterday that: “We appeal to the United Nations and the Transitional National Council to protect and secure the area, because it represents a grave danger.”
Al-Shaibani said that a pungent stench has engulfed the area surrounding the chemical weapons store, “as a result of a slight leak inside the warehouse which we are afraid might become worse.”
The sources added that the warehouse containing chemical weapons and mustard gas is located in an open area of al-Ruwadah Valley, and is currently unsecured.
“anyone can access these weapons, and take whatever they want. Anyone who says that he is a revolutionary is granted a permit to enter unaccompanied, and he can take whatever weapons he wants without supervision, and without recording what kind of weapons he takes, including chemical substances.”
Experts from the United Nations arrived shortly after the revolutionaries took control of the region. The experts discovered leak in the chemical weapons warehouse, and decided to send a full team in the near future. However, to date, this team has not arrived.
Leading up to the site, a sign simply reads: “No Entry… Mustard Gas and Chemicals.” There is no barbed wire or fences.

Panetta: We Lost Track of Syrian WMDs (September 28, 2012)
Haven’t heard much ‘news’ about the real truth on Benghazi lately...and on the stories that buried it, only a little more about Petraeus affair and who changed talking points... now it’s all about how many innocents are dying in Gaza, not Israel, Gaza....Don’t know how much further they can bury the truth on Benghazi....suppose there’s any dots on ‘timing’ of events to be connected here?
Hillary won’t go down without bringing BO with her.
If impeachment procedures begin, the MSM and the low info voters will tune in. It will be hard to defend BO after all the testimony is out there. Cummings had his mind changed, after all.
Obama will be more dangerous than ever, given an impeachment process. His true believers, will be totally unhinged. He has wrought the same emotionalism, as any socialist fascist, of the past. He actually, may be more deadly out of office. Termed out, or even legally questioned and censored while in office. This is a fact, not many good people have considered. His re-election was the downfall of Our Country.
