Republicans are the “Washington Generals” of politics.

Well, Eric Holder is said to have known of it during the summer. So let’s see them talk themselves out of that one.

Interesting how that works, eh? Wanna bet we’ll know more about his mistress’ underwear than we’ll know about the attack on the consulate?

I think thats the intent of this article.

ABC won't stop shilling just because the election is over.

Cantor is a weasel, but Holder is a Marxist snake.

Everyone who knew had an obligation to tell us before the election.

Cantor was right to pass the tip onto the FBI
But failed in passing this tip to the appropate house committees for further
review.
His excuse is he did not know if the tip was credible.
He must have thought it was credible enough to pass onto the FBI.
Did Bonehead tell him not to refer to the committees?
Committees, with the power of hearings are there to determine the truth
Of a tip, not Cantor and Bonehead.

What an inept bunch of GOP leaders.

I don’t get it. Cantor heard about it from an FBI agent and then told his aide to pass the information on to the head of the FBI?

Unless you have read a more recent news article this is not the way it happened. A Washington state House rep was told about the FBI investigation. (It was a leak, which was called by the article a 'whisleblower'.) This rep took the information to Cantor and Cantor called the FBI Director himself.

“The informant was brought to Cantor’s attention by Rep. David Reichert (R-Wash.). Reichert declined to comment on his role in the scandal.”

Obama is trying to make sure someone other than his three personalities takes a fall for the troubles in the USA, me myself and I. Typical Chicago Political Machine - divert with one hand while the other hand cleans out the cookie jar of the money. What happened to the missing 23 million of FEMA money to New York and New Jersey for Hurricane/Northeaster Sandy?

Great analogy, I believe we have been played fools by the democrats, the civil war never ended, they just laid low and changed their name, and they won, and the blacks helped, they’ve made slaves of all Americans, we are run by a few, elite slave masters, and the economy is their plantation! Wake up America, they will crack the whip further!

If Cantor knew about it Republican leaders knew about it and so Romney chose not to use it.
