Mr. Speaker! We Need To Get Back To Benghazi

[Que]

Hm. Darryl Issa, of all people, discusses an email that undermines the coverup-theory.

Isn't that something? Something so newsworthy that ABC news actually broke the story. Interesting too, was they didn't slip in a single quote about how this is a non-story.

Too bad the Daily Beast or you couldn't write that revisionist headline for them, right?

Kind of a shame the Administration didn't cleverly play this trump card sooner because of course it proves exactly what you say it does, right?

 

[Que]

Here you go, Boy Next Door...

Give us your thoughts on the politics that went into denigrating the sacrifices that were made that night.

Shameful, wasn't it what Eleanor Clift said?

Probably because they like seeing idiots scream and shout.

Kinda like the birth certificate.

Interesting possibility. After 20 some months of stonewalling suddenly they release documents and answer all the questions and there really is nothing there.

That would be very well played, indeed.

Of course the administration's apologists are unaware of that strategy because they wanted to prevent the formation of the Select Committee at all cost.

Won't that be funny when the administration shows up with boxes of un-redacted documents and eagerly and openly testifies showing how well they handled this and how the hinky narrative actually DOES all fit.

"Fooled YA!" they will say.

Yes, it was funny all the other times it happened. Why should the next time be any different?

Well grab some popcorn, sit back, relax and enjoy the Republicans embarrassment. It's just the previews now...you don't have to shout at the screen until the actual feature.

Schmotty, We've BEEN watching previews! We're on the 53rd trailer right now and it's been on a continuous loop of the same five trailers with slightly different editing to make us think we're watching new shit!

No wonder you guys run lousy cinemas!

I'm so glad I didn't pay to see the IMAX version of this show because this is UnReal3D and if they don't play the feature presentation quick, we're gonna raid the concession stand and get our money's worth of popcorn and snacks!

Totally agree. The entertainment value is minimal when the administration will not even let the script be seen, much less have the actors perform.

Too bad for Nixon he didn't have such fans of obstruction. There really is 'nothing to see here' in every instance that nothing is produced despite the requirement to do so.

The prisons would be a lot less crowded if the public just shrugged when the defendants failed to appear.

The script's been leaked ages ago. It was leaked on purpose because it was just that dull and this was the only way it could get gullible heads in seats.

Went through at least five different screenwriters and three directors.

The actors are what's really lousy, but they're getting paid beaucoup buckaroos to keep the clown show going so they can eat five squares off our dime, why should they stop?

We'd be on Episode III of a new trilogy with better effects right now, if they could've let it go like they should've. But maybe this vaudeville shit sells big in the LCD-impressionable flyover states or something.

Nope the White House wrote the script of that night and they still have even the plot a tightly guarded secret.

The charge that Republicans are rushing to judgement after a series of mostly still open investigations that were not cooperated with is laughable...

The only ones "rushing to judgement" have already issued full acquittals with prejudiced based on the success of the administrations efforts at stonewalling. "Haven't caught them yet, so you gotta quit looking into this."

Nixon needed that sort of rush to acquital.

Woodward and Bernstein at one time knew less about Watergate, than Sharyl Attkisson knows about Benghazi. No one told them to quit digging.
So what we have are previews written by the publicity department..and as you know, the previews may or may not contain actual screen footage.

For some reason, a Trey Gowdy YouTube link showed up in my FB feed this morning. I was listening to it thinking, this a pretty clear indictment of the Susan Rice talking points and Jay Carney's statements about "concrete evidence."

Then I realized the clip is from 18 months ago.

Nothing much has changed.

This administration stonewalls better than any in history. Given that they are accomplishing this with YouTube clips of their every public statement readily available is astonishing.

Just look at the way KingOrfeo spins above. An embarrassing email that shows whodunnit and even reveals whydunnit on altering the narrative to become the talking points were fabricated, and his take is the email (that was with-held) somehow disproves there's was a coverup.

For Benghazi, the Obama administration would have us believe:

1. A spontaneous demonstration erupted over a right-wing hate video of Mr. Nakoula, who was deservedly condemned for causing the deaths of four Americans by the Obama administration. His subsequent jailing was solely due to a parole violation.

2. The United States consulate in Benghazi was adequately secured before the attack and had expressed no prior serious warning about inadequate defenses.

3. There was no reasonable chance that U.S. military forces could have come to the aid of those killed in Benghazi.

4. President Obama was engaged in overseeing responses during the night of the attack.

5. Susan Rice simply relayed reasonable intelligence reports at the time that confirmed the violence was spontaneous and arose over a video. The president and Secretary Clinton seconded her assessment and have no reason to alter their judgment.

6. Intelligence operatives, not White House personnel, are largely responsible for any inconsistencies about the origins of the attack. There were no administration efforts to alter intelligence synopses.

7. CIA operatives in Benghazi were engaged in transparent and routine efforts to secure the Khadafy arsenal.

8. The Benghazi deaths were not connected to the general chaos in Libya that followed the lead-from-behind intervention to remove Khadafy.

9. Nearly two years after Benghazi, what difference does it make now?

The Regime is only capable of lies, distortions, and distractions.

it leaves out:

3a) The administration knew they couldn't reach them "in time" because they knew somehow as it was on-going, just how long it would last. (8-10 hours)

I wasn't aware that there was a place on earth we couldn't at least buzz with a strike-eagle on a low level pass within a few short hours.

Historically true, but even now with cracks in Benghazi showing in legacy media outlets, they still bull ahead.

"That memo preparing Susan Rice to go on the Sunday Talk Show Circuit to talk about the ambassador's death (in Benghazi) was only barely about Benghazi...in fact the memo was prepping her for everything BUT Benghazi."

The Bergdahl story slipping off the front page? Time to return to Benghazi?

Nineteen days since the Select Committee formed, and not one meeting yet.

Didn't we combine the two "scandals" into one big mega-mix already?

"Bergdhazi?"

They probably want to time as close as possible to the midterms.

Not only have they not had a single meeting, they don't even know WHEN the first meeting will take place yet.

Trey Gowdy must be so busy putting together his prosecution.. *ahem* "investigation" that he hasn't had time to write down an itinerary for the upcoming meetings.

I imagine they're waiting for late September, maybe October. They need to prolong the "uncertainty" until the mid-terms are over at least.

 

[dan_c00000]

Better Trey Gowdy than that arsonist and car thief Issa.

Of course it won't matter because the teahadists still have no evidence.
