| Although the intelligence community knew from Day One that al-Qaeda terrorists were responsible for the deadly Benghazi consulate attack, someone cut references to “al-Qaeda” and “terrorism” from the overview they released on September 14th. Instead, those talking points said that: “…demonstrations in Benghazi were spontaneously inspired by the protests at the U.S. Embassy in Cairo and evolved into a direct assault.” And just who was that “someone”? Well, while we still don’t know exactly who pushed the delete key, we apparently do have a fall guy. According to CBS News,

Thanks, MSM! Another cleverly executed cover-up job for His Majesty. Your fall guy is in place, and all that´s left for you is accusing anyone who doesn´t believe the cascade of White House lies a racist and/or conspiracy nut. Oh, and by the way, MSM - the future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.

I don´t care who hit the delete-button on Al-Quaida. I want to know who inserted the "it was the video" meme.

I believe clapper is the ONLY one under oath who said he did not order a stand down. Perfect match for the legal show the dems are eager to put on thus further distracting the deaf,dumb and blind public from the story of a group of people slaughtered while our potus watched and did nothing.

I suspect that this administration is going to lay this at Petraeus´ feet.
He can rise up again and hurt them since most Americans seem to love an adulterer.

There are still four dead Americans and this administration will not tell us why our Ambassador was in Benghazi with minimal security. The answer to that will explain everything.

Duh, Obama will "hang" this on somebody. In fact he spends more time blaming everyone else, when he alone is responsible. Anyone who works with him or for him should know that Obama will blame them for his dissasstrous mistakes and deluded thinking. Why are there never any consequences for this president and the democrats?

FTA: As Senator John McCain explained: “It is the worst cover-up or incompetence I have ever observed in my life. Somebody the other day said to me, This is as bad as Watergate, [but] nobody died in Watergate.”
The Republicans need to keep up this drum beat regardless of the smears by the Dems who are trying to make it appear to be racism and sexism. McCain doesn´t have to worry about running for President again.
All complaints of racism and sexism have worn thin, and it will continue to become more wearisome as time goes by.
The people who are crying racism regarding what McCain said about Susan Rice are showing what fools they are. Incompetence doesn´t have a skin or gender designation. I know we have a lot of morons right now, but sooner or later even those uncommitted morons are going to scratch their heads and "say what?"
If the Congressional Black Caucasians (Rush´s name for the CBC) keep crying wolf, all they are doing is making themselves look even more stupid than they normally appear. They only care about their own constituents, though, so it won´t matter to them.
#7´s new designation for the Executive Mansion in DC is perfect!

Sacrificing an incompetent white man in order to take the heat off an incompetent black woman. The chorus will sing that it was Clapper who made the change and poor, falsely accused Susan Rice DESERVES to be Sec State to make up for her horrible persecution. Oh, the humanity! Slavery! Slavery!
Give me a break.
Everyone is expected to obediently forget that by the time Rice appeared on the Sunday shows EVERYONE knew that Benghazi was a terrorist attack by an alquaeda affiliate. Either Rice was so out of the loop and insulated that she barely knew what day it was, or she appeared on those shows and deliberately and repeatedly advanced a storyline that she knew was a complete lie. That she was lying to the American people at someone else´s instructions makes her no less of a liar. Clueless or a liar. Rock and a hard place. There is no way out of it. And if she gets off the hook by being clueless, she´s a GREAT candidate for Sec State (???!!!).

In the wake of one of the worst abuses of government power in recent history, many are rushing to frame the Internal Revenue Service scandal as simply an attack on conservative activists. That view risks creating a partisan political football and misses a fundamentally scarier abuse that exceeds the scandals of Watergate or any other prior government abuse. The IRS has admitted that since May 2010 it targeted grassroots-conservative organizations that had applied for tax-exempt status, unfairly subjecting them to rigorous scrutiny due to their political leanings. Such groups were told they were required to comply with IRS requests,

‘What would you be focusing on in the Benghazi investigation?” I spent many years in the investigation biz, so it’s only natural that I’ve been asked that question a lot lately. I had the good fortune to be trained in Rudy Giuliani’s U.S. attorney’s office in Manhattan. Rudy famously made his mark by making law enforcement reflect what common sense knew: Enterprises take their cues from the top. Criminal enterprises are no different: The capos do not carry out the policy of the button-men — it’s the other way around. So if I were investigating Benghazi,

East Germany’s Ministry for State Security, also known as the Stasi, posed a major challenge during my three-year stint as an attache at the U.S. Embassy in Bonn during the 1960s. Detecting and preventing Stasi agents from penetrating the security of U.S. diplomatic facilities in West Germany was a 24-7 undertaking. The East German secret police were even more ruthless and relentless in operations against their own citizens. Political suppression in that communist state was total. There was no room for dissent. Thousands of East Germans were arbitrarily imprisoned for “internal security” reasons.

In eight months since an attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi left four Americans dead, a Republican-led investigation has focused on potential missteps by the White House — and come away with nothing significant. There has been little attention given, however, to covert actions by the Central Intelligence Agency that were partially uncovered during the September 11, 2012 attack. That may be changing. CNN´s Jake Tapper argued this week that we should give more scrutiny to the CIA´s presence in the Libyan port city. Congressman Frank Wolf (R-Va.) said the same, according to CNN:

Mark Sanford is now a member of Congress two years after he stepped down as governor of South Carolina following a highly publicized extramarital affair. Anthony Weiner appears poised to run for New York City mayor not even two years after scandalous photos of the ex-representative hit Twitter. Perhaps, then, it should be no surprise to learn that disgraced former presidential candidate and North Carolina senator John Edwards is plotting his own comeback. The wealthy lawyer has reactivated his law license and also is hitting the speaking circuit, The Associated Press reported. Mr. Edwards is scheduled

O.J. Simpson testified this week that he’d been drinking all day on Sept. 13, 2007, before he bizarrely robbed two sports memorabilia dealers in a Las Vegas hotel. But sources close to the case wonder if it was watching “The Oprah Winfrey Show” that afternoon that made Simpson snap. Before Simpson headed to the Palace Station Hotel to rob the dealers, the family of Ronald Goldman, who was murdered along with Simpson’s ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson, were on “Oprah” to discuss the controversial book “If I Did It: Confessions of the Killer.” It was a repackaged version of a “fictitious”

As Margalit Fox says at the outset of The Riddle of the Labyrinth, the story of Linear B is well known. This 3,000-year-old language was discovered on clay tablets excavated in 1900 on the island of Crete. It thereafter puzzled scholars for half a century before it was decoded by Michael Ventris, an English architect with no formal training in archeology or linguistics. Linear B’s history is an absorbing tale, full of mysteries both intellectual and historical, and it’s been told and retold since Ventris made his breakthrough. The problem, as Fox sees it,

Watching President Obama trying to dodge raindrops and responsibility yesterday reminded me of the moment when Dorothy pulls back the curtain and discovers that the Wizard of Oz is “just a man.” Stripped of his spell of mystery and power, the wizard is worse than mortal. He’s a fake. So it was with Obama in the Rose Garden. His performance was tired and trite, ordinary to the point of dull. His veneer of passion was so transparent that you could see him trying to summon his old-time magic by pushing the buttons

STANDING BEFORE reporters Thursday, President Obama declined an invitation to compare the recent scandals weighing down his administration with those that forced President Nixon to resign in 1974. So allow us to do the work for him: There is no comparison. Nixon, in a series of crimes that collectively came to be known as Watergate, directed from the White House and Justice Department a concerted campaign against those he perceived as political enemies, in the process subverting the FBI, the IRS, other government agencies and the electoral process to his nefarious purposes. Mr. Obama has done nothing of the kind.

The State Department, under Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton, created an arrangement for her longtime aide and confidante Huma Abedin to work for private clients as a consultant while serving as a top adviser in the department. Ms. Abedin did not disclose the arrangement — or how much income she earned — on her financial report. It requires officials to make public any significant sources of income. An adviser to Mrs. Clinton, Philippe Reines, said that Ms. Abedin was not obligated to do so. The disclosure of the agreement that Ms. Abedin made with the State Department comes as her husband,

The White House on Wednesday released 94 pages of emails between top administration and intelligence officials who helped shape the talking points about the attacks in Benghazi, Libya, that the CIA would provide to policymakers in both the legislative and executive branches. The documents, first reported by THE WEEKLY STANDARD in articles here and here, directly contradict claims by White House press secretary Jay Carney and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that the revisions of those talking points were driven by the intelligence community and show heavy input from top Obama administration officials, particularly those at the State Department.

On Thursday´s NBC Today, in a desperate attempt to deflect from the scandals engulfing the Obama administration, co-host Savannah Guthrie wondered: "I read a headline yesterday that said Republicans see blood in the water. That they see a president who´s very vulnerable politically. Is there a danger that they will overreach?" Chief White House correspondent Chuck Todd agreed with the slanted premise: "There is. I mean, that´s what happened to Republicans in 1998 with Bill Clinton.

President Obama’s press conference in the rain was not a success, if by success, his supporters would mean an event which convinces anyone who doesn’t work for him that he’s getting ahead of the scandal deluge. The sight of a Marine holding an umbrella over his head only added to the weirdness of the event. So what did we learn? 1. He has full confidence in Attorney General Eric Holder, the man who purportedly recused himself (whenever) without putting it in writing (whatever). When asked about the untrammeled snooping on Associated Press reporters and editors,

“I look forward to taking some questions at tomorrow’s press conference,” President Obama said last night, after announcing the resignation of the acting IRS commissioner Steven Miller. The president scheduled a noon press conference today with Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan in honor of his visit. Reporters, however, found themselves waiting outside in the rain for Obama, who was 47 minutes late. Only New York Times reporter Mark Landler had an umbrella.
