It’s a clich?, of course, but it really is true: in Washington, every scandal has a crime and a coverup. The ongoing debate about the attack on the …
Now even left wing rags like the newyorker are reporting on it.
I think this is the left finally coming to terms with this. It is a boat anchor that, if they continue trying to swim with it, will eventually drag their whole agenda under water because the voting population will finally realize they can't trust anything they say.
This is their version of paddling away from the titanic in a half empty life boat and leaving Hillary and the admin in the sea, afraid they'll swamp the boat that is their long term agenda.Last edited by sc281; 05-12-2013, 10:15 AM.

Kirsten Powers on Benghazi: 'Bill Clinton Would Not Have Gotten Away With This'
By*Noel Sheppard*| May 11, 2013 | 17:47Kirsten Powers said something Saturday that should deeply embarrass so-called journalists across the fruited plain.Appearing on*Fox News Watch, Powers - who was Deputy Assistant U.S. Trade Representative for Public Affairs in the Clinton administration - said of the job the current White House is doing with the Benghazi cover up, "Bill Clinton would not have gotten away with this" (video follows with transcript and commentary):MONICA CROWLEY: Yeah, and you also have mounting evidence which we saw this week, too, of a White House and a State Department at the very highest levels engaging in lies and stonewalling, intimidation and bullying. If you reverse this and say if this were a President John McCain or President Mitt Romney, this media would be all over the story every single day.KIRSTEN POWERS: If it was President Bill Clinton. I'm sorry, like I worked in the Clinton administration. I have never seen anything like this. Bill Clinton would not have gotten away with this.Is she right?After all, Clinton got away with a lot during his eight years in the White House.

Disgruntled Republicans with an axe to grind eh?

REPORT: NBC SPIKED STORY ID'ING BENGHAZI WHISTLEBLOWER AS OBAMA/CLINTON VOTER
Victoria Toensing, attorney for Benghazi whistleblower Gregory Hicks, says Hicks is a Democrat who voted for Hillary Clinton during the 2008 primaries, and President Obama twice for President. Toensing also said that NBC News "spiked" the story this week, prior to Hicks' dramatic testimony before Congress. *
Toensing appeared on*WMAL-FM in Washington DC Saturday with host Steve Malzberg.*
"He voted for Hillary in the primary and Obama twice. NBC spiked the story where I told it before the hearings......It’s just amazing what the press is still trying to do to cover this up. So they try to make this partisan because of the lawyer. Well I’m not the messenger, he’s the messenger! The modus operandi is to find anything they can do to just attack.”Listen to the full interview:

If the media wants Hillary in 2016, or even a survivable 2014 season, they need to pop someone over this to make it go away. Smartest thing would be to throw Obama to the wolves since he's more in it for himself instead of the DNC and has created OFA which is pulling from the DNC. Let him get impeached and focus on Hillary who is the victim in all of this of a WH using it's power to intimidateI wear a Fez. Fez-es are cool

Presidents of ABC and CBS News Have Siblings Working at White House With Ties to Benghazi
"CBS News President David Rhodes and ABC News President Ben Sherwood, both of them have siblings that not only work at the White House, that not only work for President Obama, but they work at the NSC on foreign policy issues directly related to Benghazi."So stated political consultant and media commentator Richard Grenell on Saturday's*Fox News Watch*(video follows with transcript and
RICHARD GRENELL: I think the media's becoming the story, let's face it. CBS News President David Rhodes and ABC News President Ben Sherwood, both of them have siblings that not only work at the White House, that not only work for President Obama, but they work at the NSC on foreign policy issues directly related to Benghazi. Let's call a spade a spade.Let's also show you why CNN did not go very far in covering these hearings because the CNN deputy bureau chief, Virginia Moseley, is married to Hillary Clinton’s deputy, Tom Nides. It is time for the media to start asking questions why are they not covering this. It's a family matter for some of them.
JON SCOTT, HOST: So they don't want to bring embarrassment upon folks who, who they're close to?
GRENELL: Who directly are related to this story. Absolutely. They're covering for them. There's no question about it.
For the record, Ben Sherwood's sister, Dr. Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall,*is*the Special Assistant to Barack Obama.Virginia Moseley's*husband,
Tom Nides,*is*the Deputy Secretary of State for Management and Resources.
As for David Rhodes'*brother*Ben, he*is*Obama's Deputy National Security Advisor for Strategic Communication.As ABCNews.com*reported*Friday, Rhodes was a key player in revising the White House's Benghazi talking points last September:
In an email dated 9/14/12 at 9:34 p.m. — three days after the attack and two days before Ambassador Rice appeared on the Sunday shows – Deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes wrote an email saying the State Department’s concerns needed to be addressed.“We must make sure that the talking points reflect all agency equities, including those of the State Department, and we don’t want to undermine the FBI investigation. We thus will work through the talking points tomorrow morning at the Deputies Committee meeting.”
After that meeting, which took place Saturday morning at the White House, the CIA drafted the final version of the talking points – deleting all references to al Qaeda and to the security warnings in Benghazi prior to the attack.Consider, too, that CBS News executives possibly including Rhodes have allegedly*come down*on their own investigative reporter Sharyl Attkisson for "wading dangerously close to advocacy on" Benghazi.If Attkisson gets the boot, it could very well be with a foot attached to the brother of an Obama administration official directly involved in the cover-up.A family matter indeed.

That some jluv $h1t right there.
Beat-Up Poet? Punished Over Benghazi Security Failures, Diplomat Fights Back with Scathing Verse
Raymond Maxwell is one of the four State Department officials who was disciplined due to security lapses leading to the U.S. Consulate attack in Benghazi, Libya, last year
Raymond Maxwell
But after he was placed on paid administrative leave last Dec. 18, CBS News says that rather than sulk in silence and shame, Maxwell has been publishing poetry about his ordeal–often scathing verse–that can’t be making officials in Washington, D.C. applaud (or snap their fingers, whatever the case may be).
CBS News calls attention to his “Trapped in a purgatory of their own deceit.”
Here Maxwell writes in part:
“The web of lies they weave / gets tighter and tighter / in its deceit / until it bottoms out – / at a very low frequency – / and implodes…Yet all the while, / the more they talk, / the more they lie, / and the deeper down the hole they go… Just wait…/ just wait and feed them the rope.”
It’s a bold and almost shocking verse from the 20-year foreign-service worker who was the well-respected deputy assistant secretary for Maghreb Affairs in the Near East Bureau and former Chief of Staff to the Ambassador in Baghdad. Fluent in Portuguese, Maxwell is also an ex-Navy “mustanger,” which means he leapt from enlisted ranks to commissioned officer.
Maxwell uses lynching imagery in his “Invitation,” CBS News notes:
“The Queen’s Henchmen / request the pleasure of your company / at a Lynching – / to be held / at 23rd and C Streets NW [State Dept. building] / on Tuesday, December 18, 2012 / just past sunset. / Dress: Formal, Masks and Hoods- / the four being lynched / must never know the identities/ of their executioners, or what/ whose sin required their sacrifice./ A blood sacrifice- / to divert the hounds- / to appease the gods- / to cleanse our filth and /satisfy our guilty consciences…
(H/T: Diplopundit)

Joe Scarborough is a douche, but he nails donny deutsche to the wall on this.
Originally posted by ScarboroughSo let me get this straight, so when republicans do a coverup it's a scandal, but when democrats do it it's shrewd political maneuvering?!
