This could be good, as it might force some of the information out in another venue than the Congressional investigation.
Correct. The discovery part of a trial often uncovers a lot of unwashed linen.
Sigh. You hear this all the time on talk radio: “Sue the B#$%^&*s” What most people don’t realize is that you must have a legally-recogizable claim in order to be able to maintain a lawsuit -— there’s no general right to go to court if someone has done wrong, such as if someone lies about their official conduct. At common law, viz., in olden times back in England, the law considered the king unable to do any wrong as a matter of law. Under the principle of “sovereign immunity,” the sovereign could not be sued - for anything at any time. In modern times the principle is still in play with our sovereign state and federal governments. There are many exceptions, but the principle remains that the sovereign, federal or state, may only be sued under circumstances where it has consented to be sued. There are provisions that do allow for suing the federal government for wrongful death under certain general circumstances. However, there are a massive maze of immunities where the government cannot be sued for discretionary actions, and I think we’re going to find that setting the security level at the Benghazi facility falls right into immunized conduct. Surely lying about it afterward, as some here have suggested, is an absolute non-starter. I’d bet my botton dollar that this lawsuit goes NOWHERE, and probably pretty fast.
This family lives here in MA. and was pretty adamant about not wanting politicize Benghazi. I From what I read I got the feeling that they were Barry supporters but maybe not.
