Anyone notice that all the “scandals,” except for Benghazi, have been announced directly or indirectly by admissions from the administration. Why?
1) To deflect attention from Benghazi?
2) To get in our faces to say, “We can do this and what army will congress and the courts use to stop us? We will get away with it, and you can expect it to happen to you if you stand in the way.”
The arrogance and bald-face lies suggests no. 2) to me. But then again, I’m not real good at the scandal game.
My analysis is that it’s not as conspiratorial as you believe. Remember, it was AP who broke the DOJ phone records story in reality, kicking up a fuss (and rightly so).
As for the IRS thing, I actually think the admin thought it would get lost in the Friday news dump. They didn’t expect it to go where it has gone.
It seems even the “admissions” by the WH have all come as a result of pending announcements, such as the IG report (IRS) and leaks (AP) that they couldn’t stop.
The stream of whistleblowers and disgruntled scapegoats is growing. Whatever the “4th Shoe” may be there are certainly a lot of axes grinding tonight.
Classic shell-game.
