Impeach-Obama Calls Grow After Latest Benghazi Revelations
New American ^ | Aug 19, 2013 | By Alex Newman

Posted on 08/19/2013 5:06:05 PM PDT by Jim Robinson

Outrage and demands for answers about the attack on an American diplomatic compound in Libya intensified last week after Joe DiGenova, a former U.S. attorney currently representing a key Benghazi whistleblower, said in a radio interview that around 400 surface-to-air missiles presumably meant for Syrian rebels were stolen by some “very ugly people.” As fears grew that the advanced weapons could be used by terrorists to bring down airliners, calls for impeaching Obama over a wide range of Benghazigate-related crimes escalated, too.

Even before the latest news, numerous major controversies were swirling around the administration over the deadly attacks — the brazen lies that followed the assault, the conditions that allowed the killings to happen in the first place, the alleged unlawful transfer of U.S. weapons to terrorist groups in Syria, and more. In terms of trafficking weapons to Syrian “rebels,” even the establishment press has finally come to the conclusion that the U.S. government was indeed running guns from Benghazi. The New American has been reporting those allegations since shortly after the attack.

Now, however, the existing scandals are expanding, even as fresh ones are added to the list. Among the most serious: Explosive public statements made by the lawyer representing key Benghazi whistleblower Mark Thompson, the deputy assistant secretary for counterterrorism who testified about the attack before Congress earlier this year. Speaking to WMAL Mornings on the Mall in Washington, D.C., last Monday, DiGenova, the prominent attorney, offered a series of accusations and claims that made headlines around the world.

"We have learned that one of the reasons the administration is so deeply concerned, we have been told that there were 400 surface-to-air missiles stolen," DiGenova said about the attack, citing intelligence sources...

O supports the Sunni jihadists because they are the ‘real’ muslims, and the sunni Saudis to him inot Harvard. Assad et al come from a separate sect (Alawites).

You cannot talk about impeachment until Obastard’s approval rating is in the mid 20 percent range or lower. Then and only then will the MSM - Democratic complex turn on “him”.

Banners need to be made and displayed at overpasses
in all fifty states and in all Islamic countries.

“IMPEACH OBAMA”

This would bring Obama down.

I don’t believe it would happen then. In fact, I think that hell will freeze over before the msm and/or self hating Whites will turn on Obama. Like East meeting West, it will never happen.

You'd pretty much need 61 Republicans in the US Senate to impeach and remove the guy.

You're wrong... we could have 100 Republican Senators and still be unable to impeach him; this is because it would violate the 'harmony' (don't rock the boat) that is one of the Republican Party's key tenants.

It's all explained in this brochure:

0bama’s press would fight tooth and nail to protect him from impeachment and conviction just like they did to save the bent one.

Also, I still remember the gutless senators (as a group) each receiving a commemorative pen at the impeachment trial.

Obama’s police are arresting those flying such banners from what I have read. Next Obama’s police force will open fire on the protestors.

DiGenova went on to blast the “stupid” establishment media for failing to notice or discuss the potentially incriminating or even impeachable blunder.

DiGenova isn't that dull, but he's doing a good job of shining a light on the people who've consistently refused to do their job: investigate and write about this impostor _Resident.

Sometimes I think thousands of snail mails should be sent to ALL the congresscritters stating that WE KNOW how they’re being blackmailed by this administration and if they don’t do their jobs, WE’LL go to the press ourselves and “out” them.

(using fraudulent names in the return address area; after all, the USPS scans the outside of all mail.)

Jim, it was a little less than a year ago that Benghazi blazed itself onto FR and only a little later that a venerable group of Freepers posited the weapons to Syria explanation, far before anyone else in the blogosphere or any internet comment logs.

But isn’t that the reason why we are here on FR? We ‘get it’ far ahead of the rest of the ‘news’. In fact the MSM isn’t really on-board yet with Benghazi-Syria but I predict they may be if the republicans take the Senate. I say ‘may be’ and not ‘will be’ because it depends on what type of republicans take back the Senate, it depends whether that limp suit Senator McDonut from Kentucky is replaced with a conservative firebrand and who will be the new majority leader.

But the whole thing is finally coming round to what was explained so many moons ago on FR. Reminds me of how oh so many years ago FR became the only place for me and others to read commentary because Freepers are the smartest by far.

Bravo Zulu Jim!

BO/BS cannot be impeached since he is not President due to the fact he is not a natural born citizen per the requirement in Article II Section I Clause V of the U.S. Constitution. Impeachment would therefore be unconstitutional.

The only appropriate charges are treason, fraud and election fraud.

When the history of our times is written, people will demand, "Why the [fill in the blank] didn't you just throw the vermin out of office?"

"Well, the Republicans in Congress were busy," isn't going to count as an answer.
