´What Difference Does It Make?´
Wall Street Journal, by James Taranto

Original Article

Hillary Clinton is ending her tenure as secretary of state in fiery fashion. "You really get the sense that [Mrs.] Clinton barely managed to restrain herself from dropping an F-bomb there," remarks New York magazine´s Dan Amira. He refers to an exchange between the secretary and Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin at a Foreign Relations Committee hearing this morning. Johnson pressed her about the administration´s conflicting explanations for the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, which killed the ambassador and three other Americans. "With all due respect, the fact is we had four dead Americans,"

Apparently it makes no difference, Hillary. It was just a bump in the road.

Ambassador Steven`s family along with the other three who died with him must be so proud of our govn today. They finally got to the bottom of it all.....

If Hillary does run for president I have a great idea for a campaign add.............."what difference does it make" then you show pictures of the 4 dead American heros at Benghazi...this was a big mistake....she also said something very interesting in testimony at the hearing in the Senate...she said she personally tasked Chris Stevens to the post in Libya....I would think that if she personally did that wouldn´t you think she would be very interested in all cables as to his security.........

To Hillary, it doesn´t make a difference. She put on her side show, covered the administration´s butt, yelled at a Senator. A successful day in all.

Sen. Johnson should have continued to challenge her and ask her what right does she or the President have to LIE to the American public. But, alas, he didn´t and they won again.

Sympathies to the families of the victims. They deserved so much better. How sad.....

Of course, I agree on every comment about this awful Sec of State. Bottom line? Brit Hume is right. This, today, was the Republicans´ big chance. As he said, "they failed"

Ambassadors, with the exception of U.N. ambassador, report to the secretary of state. That creates a privileged line of communications from ambassadors to hillary. as Secretary of State. And as was noted above, Hillary and Stevens had a special relationship.
So when libya was descending into chaos, and the brits and the red cross bailed out of benghazi, and Stevens was begging for additional security, Hillary was not reading his cables.
That is peculiar, and if she told the truth, indefensible.
Finally, I know something about federal employment. And when Hillary said the four state department people responsible for the security lapse had to be on paid leave, due to government regulations, that was a huge lie.
They could have been fired, with appeals available to them. Instead, they are on extended paid vacations.
Hillary is, indeed, a congenital liar.

It made enough of a difference that Obama and Hillary thought it was important enough to lie about it and to cover up the truth.

Since I no longer watch FNC can anyone explain what it is Hume wanted the republicans do during today´s hearing.

I watched the entire hearing and thought the republicans asked all the right questions.

Given that Hitlery was always going to lie what more could have been done.

"What difference does it make?" Ask the families of the 4 dead Americans.
Ask those same families how they´d feel if the knew that that ceremony you and barack put on for their display didn´t actually have the bodies of their loved ones in the caskets.
Ask them what difference it would make if they knew that you staged that event because it fit into the campaign´s timelines and the bodies couldn´t actually arrive for almost 4 more hours--but that wouldn´t fit into the schedule.

If I were the Republicans in the House I would bring in those families to testify before she speaks to the House panel. The Senate Republicans should do a press event with the families showing their outrage with what she said. Joe Biden would help them put it together and could use the footage for ads in Iowa & N.H.!

Evidently the families aren´t outraged, or they would have found a platform to speak from.
The whole thing stinks to high heaven.
hillary must have had a drama coach, and she was well rehearsed, especially her faux rage. She did what she does best, LIE.

Why´d the GOP allow her to get away with this false strawman... A book or a few guys walking down the street? NOOOO It´s a book vs a well organized Al Qaeda attack, financed by Obama´s Muslim Brotherhood.

Not to worry... now we are sending them bombers & tanks!

Neither of the scenarios she mentions involves Al Qaeda. This callous remark is just teeing up the fake "tearing up" that immediately follows.

Nominate her for special effects.

The Republican wolves are out for
Obama but they are yet to draw blood

The thing people often forget about the story of the boy who cried wolf was that, at the end of the day, there was a wolf. For the past six years – since Barack Obama announced his presidential intentions – Republicans have been crying themselves hoarse. Obama, if they were to be believed, was a Kenyan-born communist Muslim with a forged birth certificate who stole the election by registering millions of ineligible voters. "A lot of information about Obama´s background is missing," said Abigail Billings, at a meeting of a 9-

What to make of the political scandals that are dominating the headlines and forcing the Obama administration into Nixonian damage control? Technology is finally doing to big government what it has done to big business, big media and other institutions that once could operate with nearly full control over information. The government is losing the ability to manipulate information to avoid accountability. Consider how the news broke that the Internal Revenue Service has been targeting conservative groups. The admission by IRS official Lois Lerner came in response to a question from the audience at a low-profile

WASHINGTON – White House senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer said Sunday Republicans owe Susan Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, an apology for alleging she played a part in formulating the White House’s response to the attacks in Benghazi, Libya, last year that killed four Americans. Pfeiffer said on ABC’s “This Week” that the release of more than 100 pages of Benghazi emails and notes show “beyond a shadow of the doubt” that accusations she tried to change the narrative of what happened in the attacks was false. "And, frankly, I think that many of the Republicans

Obama aide Dan Pfeiffer said it´s an "irrelevant fact" where the president physically was during the Benghazi terror attack on September 11, 2012: Host Chris Wallace reminds Pfeiffer that Obama didn´t really talk with Secretary Clinton, Secretary Panetta, or Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, that night. "He was talking to his national security staff," Pfeiffer insists. Asked about whether the president entered the Situation Room, Pfeiffer says, "I don´t remember what room the president was in on that night, and that´s a largely irrelevant fact." Pfeiffer then argues that Wallace´s questions about the president´s handling

Anonymous Cincinnati IRS official:
“Everything comes from the top.”
Washington Examiner, by Sean Higgins    Original Article

A story in the Washington Post yesterday about the Internal Revenue Service’s Cincinnati office, which does most of the agency’s nonprofit auditing, clearly contradicted earlier reports that the agency’s targeting of Tea Party groups was the result of rogue agents. The Post story anonymously quoted a staffer in Cincinnati as saying they only operate on directives from headquarters: As could be expected, the folks in the determinations unit on Main Street have had trouble concentrating this week. Number crunchers, whose work is nonpolitical, don’t necessarily enjoy the spotlight, especially when the media and the public assume they’re engaged in partisan villainy.

President Barack Obama will not cooperate in a “partisan fishing expedition” over who knew what and when about revelations that groups seeking tax-exempt status were subject to extra Internal Revenue Service scrutiny. “We are going to work with Congress, as the president said, in legitimate oversight,” Dan Pfeiffer, a senior adviser to Obama, said today on ABC’s “This Week With George Stephanopoulos” program. “What we’re not going to participate in is a partisan fishing expedition designed to distract from the real issues at hand.” The controversy over the agency’s selective screening of anti-tax groups has stirred Republican attacks on

A senior adviser to President Obama mounted a combative defense of the administration on Sunday, saying that the controversies enveloping the White House were the result of Republican lawmakers trying to “drag Washington into a swamp of partisan fishing expeditions, trumped-up hearings and false allegations.” The remarks came from Dan Pfeiffer, a member of the president’s inner circle, as he appeared on all five major Sunday morning talk shows in an effort to move the administration past what commentators have described as a “hell week” of controversy and missteps.

What did President Obama do on the evening of 9/11/12 when our men were under attack in Benghazi? The invaluable Andrew McCarthy reminds us that Obama and Secretary Clinton had a 10:00 p.m. phone call of which many (including, I think, Chris Wallace) have lost sight. This morning when Wallace asked Obama aide Dan Pfeiffer what Obama was up to that evening, Pfeiffer declared the line of inquiry “offensive.” Translation: Obama and his minions would prefer to “move on” and are warning the likes of FNC off:(Snip for video)The Weekly Standard’s Daniel Halper has posted the rush transcript

WASHINGTON - There were new questions Saturday night concerning if anyone in the White House was aware of the IRS´ targeting of conservative groups. Inspector General Russell George said he informed a deputy at the Treasury Department in June of 2012 about the probe into the IRS. The Treasury Department confirmed the timeline but said they did not know the details of the investigation until last week.(Snip)Marcus Owens ran the tax-exempt division at the IRS for 10 years. He said it isn´t difficult to figure out who´s doing what at the agency.

It began in earnest last Friday. A flash mob of latte drinking, tofu eating media that has done its best to quell, rather than fan the flames of truth, turned on one of their own. Jay Carney lay bludgeoned at the base of the podium, a victim of friendly fire. Ironically, the attack was reminiscent of the one in Benghazi he has repeatedly denied the Administration he represents bears any responsibility for. “Changed twelve times?!” came the cries. And with good reason. We were misled; no, lied to.

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,

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew on Friday urged congressional leaders to raise the debt limit and insisted that the White House is not going to negotiate over the increase because lawmakers have "no choice." "We will not negotiate over the debt limit," Lew wrote. "The creditworthiness of the United States is non-negotiable. The question of whether the country must pay obligations it has already incurred is not open to debate." Lew said that while President Obama is willing to discuss plans to reduce the nation´s deficit with Congress, those talks must be kept separate from any effort to raise the nation´s debt cap.

The Internal Revenue Service´s watchdog told top Treasury officials around June 2012 he was investigating allegations the tax agency had targeted conservative groups, for the first time indicating that Obama administration officials were aware of the explosive matter in the midst of the president´s re-election campaign. The disclosure to the Treasury general counsel and the deputy secretary was a cursory one, according to J. Russell George, the Treasury inspector general for tax administration. He said he didn´t reveal conclusions of the probe, which was in its early stages, and his disclosure came as part
