Pick your Scandal

All can agree that the Obama administration is mired in myriads of scandals, but as yet no one can quite figure out what they all mean and where they will lead.

Benghazi differs from all the other scandals — and from both Watergate and Iran-Contra — because in this case administration lapses led to the deaths of four Americans. Nine months later, the administration’s problems of damage control remain fourfold: (a) there was ample warning that American personnel were in danger in Libya, and yet requests for increased security were denied; (b) during the actual attack, the American tradition of sending in relief forces on the chance that fellow Americans could be saved was abrogated; (c) the president and his top officials knowingly advanced a narrative of a culpable filmmaker that they knew was not accurate; (d) a through c are best explained as resulting not from honest human error or the fog of war, but from a methodical effort to assure the public in the weeks before the election that “lead from behind” in Libya had been a successful venture and that the death of Osama bin Laden had made al-Qaeda–inspired terrorism rare. All other concerns became secondary, including the safety of Americans in Libya.

All tamped down just long enough to get a re-election.

Hillary “ What Difference does it make”.

That applies here.

It doesn’t matter what scandal we pick, Nothing is going to be done about any of them.

Benghazi Emails Directly Contradict White House Claims

The MSM swallowed the spin that Republicans "doctored" emails.

and, in the present, we have the Free? lame-stream drives bys covering what they are being told and paid to cover. Immunity for the guilty. Warrants for those telling the truth.

I don't know about anybody else, but it seems to me all these so-called scandals are just everything we already knew stretched out like a boring novel that never ends while the real crimes, Fast and Furious and Benghazi, which BOTH involved the murders of Americans and civilians in other countries lay languishing in congress, seemingly forgotten in the day to day scandal dribbles that have overwhelmed the American psyche.
This is no accidental leakfest. This is a deliberate strategy to wipe BOTH crimes off the board and erase them from our memories as if they never happened. We MUST be vigilant and start making noise loud and clear so they know that we have NOT forgotten and we want justice in both cases.
In the meantime, while we dance the devil's two step with this administration, congress is busily working to add the finishing touches to the absolute destruction of our country with an immigration bill that will irreversibly change the very foundation this country was built on.
Wake up, peoole. We are being played.

Anyone wanting on or off this ping list, please advise.

Everyone in the white house is a lawyer. The oldest trick in the book is to muddy the waters with so much info, scandals in this case, that everything is masked. Then they let everything "settle". The MSM will let it go. Nothing to see here, move along.

PS: The secondary tactic if something should strart to stick is to call it just partisan Republican politics.

This may fall under the column of “Baffle Them with BS” in that keeping track of too many crisises at once will cause input over load for the low info crowd....

The truth ... Thanks Mesta ... playing the People is what governments do.

...because in this case administration lapses led to the deaths of four Americans.

Lapses? hussein murdered those men as if he'd launched a Hellfire missile against them.

You are absolutely correct!

[danamco]

Benghazi-Gate is where a traitorous act took place and four (4) Americans slaughtered (like the Seals), most likely a botched kidnapping attempt going wrong which nobody want to talk about or admit. Or illegal gun running!!!
