Administration Relying on Shoddy Benghazi Report to Absolve Itself of Blame | The Weekly Standard

Americans died and then obama lied.

 

[Mr. H.]

Absolution. As long as it's granted by The 47%, the Teflon will remain.

 

[Mr. H.]

Intact.

 

[Clementine]

Even if we never find out the truth about what happened and what Obama or Hillary knew and when they knew it, they still lied and covered it up. They knowingly lied and refused to allow investigators to get to the truth.

That alone is enough to ask both to resign.

From the article...

The ARB report has at least one significant discrepancy, inconsistent with what Mr. Hicks told the Board. He specifically stated, with Pickering present, that the reason Ambassador Christopher Stevens went to Benghazi was to establish a permanent constituent post, an assignment received directly from Clinton in May 2012 when he was sworn in as ambassador. Soon after, Stevens told Mr. Hicks about this assignment over lunch when they discussed the procedures for getting the task done. When Mr. Hicks arrived in Tripoli in July 2012 they revisited the needs related to making Benghazi a permanent post. At the time, Stevens had out of country commitments and could not go to Benghazi until September. The trip was scheduled for mid-September because the report about building structures and security had to be submitted before the end of the fiscal year: September 30.

When Mr. Hicks told the ARB the reason for the trip, Pickering visibly flinched and said: “Does the 7th floor know about this?” (The office of the Secretary of State is on the 7th floor.)

This relevant information was omitted in the ARB’s unclassified report. Worse, it was concealed by a false statement: “The Board found that Ambassador Stevens made the decision to travel to Benghazi independently of Washington, per standard practice. Timing for his trip was driven in part by commitments in Tripoli, as well as a staffing gap … in Benghazi.” Mr. Hicks testified in the hearing that Washington was well aware prior to the trip that Stevens was going to Benghazi.

It would seem that Pickering isn't quite what some on the left would have us believe he is.

This bengali thing is really, really tedious. No one who matters gives a shit and frankly the buck stops with Mrs. Clinton. Take her down. I'll send money.

If nutballs are serious about taking Obama down, the IRS scandal can grow legs.

Americans hate taxes. Some don't like big government. Many are not crazy about affirmative action.

A sharp ninth grader could do the political calculus. Which of course does not mean Chinless or John-bo can. But the IRS scandal is where the action is if nutballs are serious about discrediting the DP and Obama.
