Please explain how the Watergate coverup constituted "high crimes and misdemeanors" whereas the Benghazi coverup (including withholding requested security protection) did not:
The Watergate break in was a felony crime. Covering up is a felony and a "high crime and misdemeanor"
Benghazi was a terrorist attack on the United States. There was no "coverup" only initial misreporting.

^^^ What a hack.
The Obama administration orchestrated a misinformation campaign to conceal the involvement of Al Qaeda in a terrorist attack prior to the election. This, in combination with the epic fail of Obama's foreign and military policy and the tragic (and avoidable) deaths of four Americans, is far worse than Watergate.

how can anyone take seriously Republican complaints about Benghazi -
when the Republicans are responsible for a misguided, unprovoked, unfunded 9 year Iraqi war that culminated in the Great Recession.

Interesting.....I imagine you have proof
All proof indicates the CIA was in charge of releasing information. They either had inaccurate information or chose not to release the full story immediately. Barring any proof on your part, all you have is another rightwing conspiracy theory
How did your Fast and Furious conspiracy work out for you? Or your seven year Clinton Whitewater investigation?
This is what Republicans do when they are not in power

John Solomon has one of the best pieces to date on this Obamanation.
U.S. intelligence told President Barack Obama and senior administration officials within 72 hours of the Benghazi tragedy that the attack was likely carried out by local militia and other armed extremists sympathetic to al-Qaida in the region, officials directly familiar with the information told the Washington Guardian on Friday.
Based on electronic intercepts and human intelligence on the ground, the early briefings after the deadly Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. consulate in Libya identified possible organizers and participants. Most were believed to be from a local Libyan militia group called Ansar al-Sharia that is sympathetic to al-Qaida, the official said, while a handful of others was linked to a direct al-Qaida affiliate in North Africa known as AQIM.
Those briefings also raised the possibility that the attackers may have been inspired both by spontaneous protests across the globe on the 11th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks and by a desire to seek vengeance for the U.S. killing last summer of a Libyan-born leader of al-Qaida named Abu Yaya al-Libi, the officials said, speaking only on condition of anonymity because they were discussing intelligence matters.
The details from the CIA and Pentagon assessments of the killing of Ambassador Chris Stephens were far more specific, more detailed and more current than the unclassified talking points that UN Ambassador Susan Rice and other officials used five days after the attack to suggest to Americans that an unruly mob angry over an anti-Islamic video was to blame, officials said.
Most of the details affirming al-Qaida links were edited or excluded from the unclassified talking points used by Rice in appearances on news programs the weekend after the attack, officials confirmed Friday. Multiple agencies were involved in excising information, doing so because it revealed sources and methods, dealt with classified intercepts or involved information that was not yet fully confirmed, the officials said.
"There were multiple agencies involved, not for political reasons, but because of intelligence concerns," one official explained.
Rice's performance on the Sunday talk shows has become a source of controversy between Congress and the White House. Lawmakers, particularly Republicans, have questioned whether the administration was trying to mislead the country by suggesting the Benghazi attack was like the spontaneous protests that had occurred elsewhere on Sept. 11, in places like Egypt.
Obama has defended Rice, and he and his top aides have insisted politics was not involved. They argue the administration's shifting story was the result of changing intelligence.
U.S. intelligence officials said Friday, however, the assessment that the tragedy was an attack by extremists with al-Qaida links was well defined within 48 to 72 hours....

Benghazi was a terrorist attack on the United States. There was no "coverup" only initial misreporting.
1. I'm not sure that a third rate burglary is more important than the preventable murder of four U.S. citizens serving our interests in a hostile environment. If this had happened in a military situation, there would be a general court martial of those involved.
2a. You have ignored the withholding of requested security protection.
2b. By "only initial misreporting" are you asserting that everything has now been disclosed?
how can anyone take seriously Republican complaints about Benghazi -
when the Republicans are responsible for a misguided, unprovoked, unfunded 9 year Iraqi war that culminated in the Great Recession.
and what party got involved in a war that killed 57,000 soldiers for nothing.

What Benghazi coverup?
The Obama administration didn't break any laws in Benghazi.
It's pretty simple.
It's pretty simple.
nixon, obama, holder, and mitchell are all whores it's just that one slept around more than the others.
