Speaker of the House John Boehner on Wednesday night condemned the Obama administration for going to extraordinary lengths to mislead, obstruct, and obscure what actually took place during the Benghazi terrorist attack of 2012 now that it is clear the White House has not turned over all pertinent documents.
The Ohio Republican made the comments after the release of new emails this week by a conservative group, which obtained them through a Freedom of Information Act request. The emails indicate that the White House played a bigger role than previously admitted in crafting the now-debunked initial talking points on the attacks that left four Americans dead, including Chris Stevens, the U.S. ambassador to Libya.
I am appalled to learn that the administration concealed relevant documents after the House subpoenaed all emails related to the misleading talking points, Boehner said in a release to reporters.
The documents released Tuesday shows Ben Rhodes, a top foreign policy aide in the White House, saying the goal of then-U.N. Ambassador Susan Rices now-infamous Sunday talk show appearances was to to underscore that these protests are rooted in an Internet video, not a broader failure of policy.
Boehner refuses to go for an independent prosecutor.
I believe it is because All congressional leaders knew the administration was funneling weapons out of Bengazi illegally to Syrian rebels.
And many of those rebels were NOt good guys.
“Something should be done to ensure honest elections.”
I totally agree, and I’m sure we are all open to suggestions.
However, there is a time when it is too late for using the soap box to fix the ballot box - but that still something we should strive to accomplish.
Opening the other box to water the tree gets messy.
Impeach his golfing buddy? Not on your life.
The oompah-loompah just got out of the tanning bed. Not one dime’s worth of difference.
Right, and that is why this kabuki theater has gone on and why it will continue to go on. Oturd will say he had the consent of Bonehead et al in this endeavor. Whether the “it” was weapons to Syria or some other attempt to destabilize some country being orchestrated and armed through Lybia makes no difference. His piece meal investigative approach to Benghasi and other events like the IRS matter are designed to go nowhere. In the former he protects jug ears, in the latter he destroys the conservative republicans. This incompetent fool deserves to be on the same gallows as jug ears.
I wish I had a dollar for every time that thought crossed my mind.
Boehner is a co-conspirator with Obama.
This what you get when you have taken G-d (prayer) out of the schools for 40 years. No one has any moral base anymore.
Now, doing something about it, even when he has the power...that is ooh so hard. Oh, yes, and it would require leadership.
Who woke him up and told him?
Lying liar.
"Hi, I'm Congressman *HIC!*" Bottle....from Kentucky..
Tennessee?..fine Whiz.." *face-plant*
Boehner is a P.O.S who is behind Benghazi with
McCain, Obama, and Clinton.
The G(ive)O(bama)P(ower) Party takes Americans
and conservatives for FOOLS.
Boehner is appalled? Oh boy, now we’ll get to the botton of this mess.
Never mind. Forget I asked.
Just go have a good cry, John. It'll make you feel better.
Captain Renault: I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!So, it's not just a fake "shocked," in the movie, as here in real life, the "shocked" person was participating, not just playing dumb.[a croupier hands Renault a pile of money]
Croupier: Your winnings, sir.
Captain Renault: [sotto voce] Oh, thank you very much.
I’m appalled that Boehner is ONLY appalled.
