Top GOP Senator Says Obama Could Be Impeached Over ‘Most Egregious Cover-Up in American History’
The Blaze ^ | May 10, 2013 | Madeleine Morgenstern

The top-ranking Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee said President Barack Obama could possibly be impeached over what happened in Benghazi.

Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.) said in a radio interview Thursday that “of all the great cover-ups in history” — including the Pentagon papers, Iran-Contra and Watergate — Benghazi “is going to go down as most serious, most egregious cover-up in American history.”

“We may be starting to use the I-word before too long,” Inhofe said on the Las Vegas-based “Rusty Humphries Show.”

“The I-word meaning impeachment?” Humphries asked.

“Yeah,” Inhofe confirmed.

When Humphries questioned the likelihood of impeachment, Inhofe said it wouldn’t be immediate.....

Good grief, Inhofe! Talk about out-kicking your coverage! The Republicans still don’t understand how the media will protect Obama. I like the tenacity, but it’s way too early to start that kind of talk. Focus! Focus! Focus!

I heard on talk radio today that it took two years of talks about impeaching Nixon before he resigned.

Impeachment isn’t good enough. He needs to be removed from office! The whole bunch should be up on charges.

Tripoli rescue team told to stand down.

Hicks: Special Forces ‘Furious’ Upon Being Told to Stand Down video at link

"According to Benghazi whistleblower Gregory Hicks, the deputy chief of mission in Libya, special forces were “furious” when they were told to stand down during the Benghazi attack. “I will quote Lieutenant Colonel Gibson,” Hicks told the House Oversight Committee in hearings today, “He said, ‘This is the first time in my career that a diplomat has more balls than somebody in the military.’”"

This might be considered a stand down too.

Whistle-blower: Botched talking points hurt FBI probe of Benghazi attack

"Another whistle-blower questioned Wednesday why more military assets were not deployed sooner during the Benghazi terror attack. Mark Thompson, a former Marine and official with the State Department's Counterterrorism Bureau, said he was rebuffed by the White House when he asked for a specialized team -- known as a FEST team -- to be deployed. This is a unit made of special operations personnel, diplomatic security, intelligence and other officers."

BENGAZI - Why Wasn't FEST Activated?

Here is a third way a "stand down" policy was implemented IMO.

Blow-by-Blow: How Obama & Hillary Left Americans to Die

"Nordstrom further testified in writing that Hillary Clinton waived security requirements for the Benghazi consulate despite high and critical threat levels in the six categories of security standards established under the Overseas Security Policy Board and the Secure Embassy Construction and Counterterrorism Act of 1999. The waiver can only be authorized by the Secretary of State, who cannot delegate that responsibility to someone else. ”If the Secretary of State did not waive these requirements, who did so by ordering occupancy of the facilities in Benghazi and Tripoli?” Nordstrom wrote."

As I’m sure you know, impeachment is racist.

And I could get implants and start a Burlesque Review...which is far more likely than Bhoner conducting an impeachment.

I want to know who planned and executed it...because those people are guilty of premeditated murder. My choices are obama, brennan, petraeus, and clinton.

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

Not much to fear ... they will just be after the latest in consumer electronics. After their TV upgrades and the burning down of their own neighborhoods all will be calm.

Being a senator on the arms services committee I am sure he is talking to unnamed military who know what you know that jets could have been on station in under two hours out of Italy . We had NATO assets within 450 miles and the French had assets able to respond. All of these options could have been utilized but only by the President of the United States. He was unavailable and people died.

Then like all juveniles he lied and got others to lie to cover it up.

Pathetic .
