Thread to keep track of the latest in the trumped-up Benghazi scandal. Let's start with this... Lawmakers: No 'stand down' order given in Benghazi attack - Washington Times Remember the far RW talking point about "Who gave the order to stand down!?!" Well as you can see above, it's clearly not true. Just as the entire made up scandal is one series of lies and garbage after the next. More revelations to come, feel free to share...
The claims of Issa & McKeon are not being proven, and that is an understatement. McKeon has been sitting on evidence for three MONTHS, action by fellow members of the House is warrented. This is about the 4th set of hearings, keeps getting worse for the Issa camp.
You'd think that with all the hysteria that the far RW USMBers have conjured up and all the attention they've given this particular story, they'd have SWARMED this thread. However, it's crystal clear to see that once the FACTS abound and the TRUTH of the matter comes out that there's no there there, they simply aren't interested in it. Like the end of the Agent Smiths vs. Neo in the Park scene of 'The Matrix', once they see they can't win...they're gone.
Thanks MarcATL for this! In addition: CBS' Lara Logan, producer on leave after discredited Benghazi report - CNN.com
Yep, Lara's toast!! She let her radical partisanship get the best of her, now she's no longer credited. Lost her career over this nonsensical Benghazi hysteria. Good riddance too.
US consulate was hit on the most obvious date when guard should have been increased yet it was virtually nonexistent. That is abject failure of duty. A coverup was created and repeated to deflect attention away from the reality of the incident in order to protect reelection chances. That's watergate. A lie was implemented and repeated by the media to coverup the initial coverup. That is beyond watergate. Nothing phony about any of that malfeasance. Only bigots try to defend it.
