Mafia: “We investigate the hit and determined it was a justifiable homicide, therefore no need for the police to be involved.”

If this were a Republican administration there would be impeachment proceedings right now.

Exactly...imagine if ANY Republican tried to blame something on a BS movie.

... and to go experience some solitary asexual coitus (a.k.a. Shelter in Place).

the decision not to fire was not made by the pilot in Langley... but by either the folks in the room or on the phone

that’s just a fact.

don’t stop until you find out who did it.

they killed those seals just as surely as if they pulled the trigger themselves

“The bottom line is that congressional testimony is at the deputy assistant secretary level and above.

So whistle-blowers are always at the deputy assistant level and above?

Nonsense.

Some, no MANY, of these State pukes who are participating in this cover-up need to go to federal prison for a LONG time!

Has anyone been fired and or reprimanded? Are they sending other assets into similar situations and removing security? Congresscritters are supposed to have some knowledge of this stuff. Or is the administration keeping it all a secret? What is the US plan of action in Libya and Syria?
