I agree that Benghazi is bigger than Watergate. But i think u and I are the only ones to think this. All I hear from pundits, politicians, analysts is that Watergate was a real crime and thus cannot compare the two

"Watergate" designates so many activities that to say it was or wasn't a crime is really meaningless. However, the list of real Federal crimes committed by Nixon, either directly related to, tangentially related to, or exposed by investigation of, Watergate was quite substantial.

His impeachment and removal was amply justified by the facts, however much it was facilitated by disloyal Leftist moles within the Administration and by media bias.

The phenomenon called "Benghazi" may or may not be "bigger" that Watergate. That depends on facts not yet in evidence.

The Watergate "coverup", which eventually required that many felonies be committed, was necessary because of the underlying reality of the Plumbers and the activities of CREEP in general.

The Benghazi coverup (so far) involves normal politician lying and misrepresentation to feather their own nests, and that's all.

Now, you probably think (as I do) that what is being covered up is a crime, or crimes, which could result in Obama's resignation or removal. That may well be right.

But what the House GOP (so far) is "exposing" are embarrassments and mistakes, not crimes.

John Boehner and Darrell Issa are not Sam Ervin and Peter Rodino. They want to rack up points for an election campaign that is never coming.

Unless and until they form a committee to investigate, and hire some real prosecutors, this is all just normal Potomac gasbag bullshit. IOW, don't get your hopes up.

murder is a real crime ~ the current government in Libyia might be well disposed toward the idea of executing this woman, and her husband, and anybody else involved in concocting an order that resulted in these men getting killed.

It's worth the chance to give their president a call and see if he'd like to take this Democrat couple of our hands!

Only the media could equate the moral aspect of an action to what is legal. To them, if it’s legal it’s ok - ethics/morality be damned. What about the erosion of integrity, the erosion of trust to the office of POTUS? How does make our allies & enemies feel?

He’s an embarrassment to the face of this nation, even if not criminal...he should still resign. Of course it’d take character and integrity to do that, so it won’t happen.

Remember, somebody had to give the stand down order, either it was him or he was asleep at the wheel (famous “3am call”).
