Let them play this out. If Republicans overreact they will blow our chance to address this issue.

People really will believe this is a political stunt.

Surely you can't be serious. There is no way to over react to criminal treason and assasiation and then covering it up with more crimes, and lies. And "people" think it's political? The media lapdogs, and even some of them are turning. The more the public (the ones who are not doped up/braindead/illiterates) will see the truth once more of it is presented to them.

And what about this???

Benghazi whistle-blower a Democrat, voted for Hillary and Obama twice

A key Benghazi whistle-blower who has allegedly been punished for speaking out against the administration is a registered Democrat who voted for both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.

The lawyer of Gregory Hicks, the former U.S. deputy chief of mission in Libya who testified before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Wednesday, confirmed the information to The Daily Caller on Saturday.

According to the lawyer, Victoria Toensing, Hicks voted for Clinton during the 2008 primary, and for then-Illinois Sen. Obama in the 2008 general election. He again voted for Obama in 2012.

Let’s not -— ONCE AGAIN — “snatch defeat from the jaws of victory” by being over-confident hat our self-righteous cause will “win” over the “independents”.

Impeachment? IMHO, that is a credibility-shredding fantasy, which could just prevent the GOP from cleansing the Senate in 2014.

“Impeachment” is such a really good “cause” to rally the clueless left, that I wonder if it’s not the Dems who are promoting it within the GOP! As a kind of “dirty trick”.

I think it would be wiser for us to focus on the Administration’s first mistake: Hillary’s refusal to respond to rather obvious indicators of future trouble in Benghazi:

9/11 anniversary date
Prior attack on the UK ambassador
Strong al-Qaeda-linked gangs in Benghazi
REQUESTS for more security from the Ambassador
REQUESTS for more security by the security forces which were withdrawn (WITHDRAWN!) at the request of the State Department (Hillary?)
The obvious weakness of Lybia’s new government.

Hillary failed to properly prepare Benghazi, either by:

(a) providing normal levels of security to our endangered Benghazi consulate and/or

(b) withdrawing the order that sent Ambassador Stevens to “do” something there.

Hillary’s incompetence on this point created the need for the talking point lies spewed that were broadcast by Susan Rice’s in her TV interviews, which essentially said:

“Hillary can’t be blamed for a “spontaneous protest” that for some unknown reason went bad!”

That lie then led to the “no rescue” orders from the White House. The White House could not send our military to Benghazi to “rescue” our ambassador from a rag-tag bunch of angry movie-critics, could it?

And so four Americans died.

We were told at that time that the White house could not discuss these murders in detail because such discussions would slow down our bringing of the killers to justice. Now we are told, the killings hapopened so long ago that no one needs to be concerned about them.

We saw this with White-Watergate and Lewinsky-gate, too. First, there was the “Let’s not rush to judgment” phase. Then come the “Let’s move on!” phase.

Of course if someone does capture one of the Benghazi attackers (alive!) and that attacker reports that their objective in Benghazi was to capture Ambassador Stevens alive, so he could be “exchanged” for the so-called “Blind Sheik” now imprisoned in America, then we open a whole new book of conspiracy theories....
