Make no mistake: Benghazi is a major scandal. Benghazi is a scandal before, during and after the terrorist attack that left four Americas dead, including an ambassador.
For months before, there were warnings about weak security at the U.S. Consulate in Libya; no one paid attention. During the attack, when Americans were begging for help, the White House ignored their pleas, sent no help.
And after? That's when the Obama scandal falls into the predictable second-term pattern his predecessors all learned the very hard way. Faced with a crisis, the Obama White House panicked. "We can't have a terrorist strike two months before Election Day, so ... let's not have a terrorist strike two months before Election Day." Cue the Cover-Up.
*********
Despite protestations by the White House, this scandal is just beginning. And the White House has picked a very bad scapegoat: the Central Intelligence Agency. The CIA follows RFK's edict: "Don't get mad, get even." And when the CIA gets even, it isn't pretty.
With the White House putting all blame on the agency, expect push back this week nuclear push back. Gen. David H. Petraeus, the former director forced to resign after a sex scandal, is a dangerous man to the Obama administration. Mad and intent on getting even, he's already talking, telling one reporter the talking points were "useless" and that he preferred not to use them at all. The floodgates will open this week, and by the end of business Friday, the scandal will be full blown.

No one wanted to give algore a leg up on being elected President iirc. Do you think hill/billy would allow Biden to run?
yep ... and the real party just started. Everyone knows America love a party.
I don't think Hillary will allow anyone to stand in her way. However, if the mainstream media reaches the conclusion that either Obama or Hillary must take the fall for Benghazi, they will, if reluctantly, turn against Hillary to preserve the legacy (as they see it) of the first black president.
You’re probably correct They turned on her before even after her backer brought suit regarding the birth certificate issue. Remember Hillary was one of the original birthers so what does BO have on her? ;-)
Take your pick!
And you didn’t need a $200,000.00 computer to give one a tune-up!
