Turns down... sounds more like the coverup has begun, and a Congressional subpoena is in order here.

`It´s even more laughable now that will ever get the truth on this situation. Call Petraeus as a hostile witness.

An "invitation" ? What is going on here ?

This is serious business. A subpoena should be issued for EVERY witness. Quit fooling around. Put it THIS WAY....even Obama deserves justice. Let´s get to the truth. We wouldn´t want people doubting our President now would we. Let´s help him out. Get to the truth and quit being candy asses about it.

Ok Issa. Let´s get tough here. Forget invitations. Subpoena the whole lot. Petraeus, Clinton, Clapper, Mueller. Here´s my theory. Last Spring Petraeus was asking for more security in Benghazi. The administration said No. It didn´t fit in their plan that Al Queda was on the run. Petraeus was a problem. He was unhappy and thinking of running against Obama.The administration illegally put the FBI on it. They have no authority to read emails in the intelligence community. They hit pay dirt. Instead of removing Petraeus for such a gross breach of security, he was blackmailed. Shut up or else. No way would this be disclosed before the election. The President, VP, Clapper and Mueller and Clinton all knew about the affair and that is treasonous and a conspiracy against the United States. All should be arrested. Petraeus had a crisis of conscience- too late. He disclosed the affair himself and resigned. No more leverage against him. He and all the players must be called to testify. The Presidential succession-President, VP Speaker of the House ends up with John Boehner as President. I´ll take it. This is a high crime by this administration against the security of our country. Clearly Clinton knows something and thus refuses to testify under oath. What a disgrace at the highest levels. We need to take out this corrupt administration -now.

Did I mention that the pResident has NOT been re-elected yet?

The State´s Electors meet in Washington in December to cast ballots and are NOT bound by the states popular vote.

Folks like Issa have a very short amount of time.

Oh, and I have absolutely no faith in Issa.

(Bill alone, obviously pumping fore her in 2016, should disqualify her: e.g. trusting Romney, a "liar" as designated by our Ex President, who was impeached for lying, and lost his law license.

Oh my gosh, #10 is right! Constitutional Scholar Barry forgot that little detail. A ray of hope for sanity.

Even if the possibility exists that swing state electors could vote down Barry, the media has already taken victory laps.

As for Hillary, I can´t even remember which scandal she was involved in where she testified under oath that she did not "recall". Even that scandal and her lies didn´t stop Noo Yawkkas from electing her their Senatah.

It must be difficult, on so many levels, to look oneself in the mirror if you are Hillary Clinton. Thanks for the memories, #18. And #10 and #15, wishful thinking: can you imagine the rioting if the electors chose someone other than Obamessiah?

Could someone explain to me how the people directly involved in this thing can just opt out of testifying? I don´t care if they both resign. By the time the hearings start, Karl Rove and Laura Bush will be hauled in to give the answers. I mean it. This is murder and these witnesses should be forced to testify.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has turned down an invitation . . .

What is this-a party? There should be no "invitation", subpoena her, she does work for us. I think.


Reply 25 - Posted by: Bad Dog, 11/10/2012 8:51:49 AM     (No. 9004758)

Let´s walk backwards through our memories....

Hillary Clinton has already let it be known that she won´t continue as SoS in Obama Reign #2. I did a search on ´´Clinton Resign´´ but too many results come up - wasn´t that announcement last summer?

Petraeus was named Director of CIA on September 6, 2011. (Hmmm.....)

There are many dots to be connected here - I don´t have all the info I need right now but perhaps others can pick up.

I´m still not convinced that Obama´s whispered comment to Medvedev isn´t part of this. Petraeus is in a very precarious position.

And as for Hillary and her ´´turn down´´ of the ´´invitation´´.... well, she does not need any more time to rehearse her responses - ´I don´t recall´ and ´I don´t remember´. However, she might need more time to practice saying, ´I´m sorry, I don´t recall´.

As if.

´´Turn down´´ should NOT be an option...People died, cover-up evident! Shame on her and the committee that´s allowing this.

Not only should they issue a subpoena, this is big enough to go all in and issue a poena. I´m sure Hillary hasn´t seen one if those in quite a while.

1. Petraeus abandoned his enlarged force in Afghanistan to double dip: retired 4 star pension + CIA director salary.
2. Obama then arranges for Mrs Petraeus to be hired for newly created senior position in new Consumer Finance Unit of Dodd-Frank. Job keeps Petraeus silent as Iraq and Afghanistan successes erode.
3. As Afghan war effort deteriorates and al-Qaeda surges in ME and Libya, Petraeus grows concerned. Obama turns up affair to keep him loyal.
4. Petraeus creates violent demonstration & video lie to allow Obama to lie about growing al-Qaeda threat.
5. Petraeus resigns to protect whatever honor he has left.

Hillary should not have the option to "turn down" the request to testify. What is wrong with these people? Isn´t anyone being held accountable? If Hillary has nothing to hide, she needs to testify. Hillary has gone public saying she takes full responsibility, well, lady tell us what you know. These people make me sick. The Republicans are now making me mad, as they just roll over. For God´s sake, the democrats had Scooter Libby put in prison for nothing, and we Republicans can´t get accountability when four brave Americans were sent in to do a job, they asked for help, and Hillary and 0bama denied them any help at all, and these four brave Americans are dead. I want Hillary to tell us exactly what happened, and I am afraid no one is going to make her do it. Sick, I tell you.

They already know what happened don´t you get it, they already know. Obama talks about the people, he´s for the people, yea right, he´s talking bout your vote. After that its screw you.

The bombshell stories in both publications carried the by-lines of experienced reporters. The Guardian’s Glenn Greenwald, a well-known political commentator who also holds a law degree, has been covering national security issues for nearly a decade, and the Post’s Barton Gellman is a Pulitzer Prize winner who has a distinguished record covering privacy and security issues.

Five months into his second term, allies and enemies are as confounded as ever about who President Obama really is. Is he the dyed-in-the-wool liberal that his biggest supporters and critics suggest? Or is he a pragmatic, even cynical, politician who cares more for his popularity than taking risks for his ideological goals or living up to his rhetoric? Even in the short period since his reelection, Obama has provided evidence to support conflicting interpretations. His efforts to pass immigration reform, the unsuccessful push for stricter gun controls and tax hikes on high earners buttress the case for Obama-as-ideologue.

Politico’s Playbook has an excerpt from a new Ryan Lizza piece from the New Yorker that is not yet online. It contains a passage on the back-and-forth between labor and the Chamber that has a quote from a Rubio staffer that is going to raise eyebrows, to say the least: “There are American workers who, for lack of a better term, can’t cut it. There shouldn’t be a presumption that every American worker is a star performer. There are people who just can’t get it, can’t do it, don’t want to do it. And so you can’t obviously discuss that publicly.” Here is the entire context:
