Is Benghazi Becoming a Watergate, or Iran-Contra, or Both?
Benghazi cannot be dismissed with

You’re right. The best possible outcome is injuring Hillary. Everything beyond that won’t happen.
An American Ambassador was murdered, leading to coverup, this goes way beyond mere scandal.
No, the "news" media must protect their selected boy-king and keep Benghazi-gate from the sheeple so as not to let them get too knowledgeable on what is really happening in America.
For the libs/media, Nixon, a Republican, must remain the only President driven from office in disgrace.
I do believe some frantic words are being spoken behind secure doors to create something to divert attention.
Its anyones guess what it will be, because if this continues its course it will absolutely destroy all those involved, say goodbye Democratic party.
Yes, Much Bigger. Especially if we’re just seeing the tip of the iceberg.
This is one of those times when Patriots must stand up.
The normally reserved Brit Hume discussed “impeachment” grounds with Bill O’Reilly tonight which I expect was only done with full permission of Roger Ailes AND Rupert Murdock.
Gretta had Lindsey Graham on at 10:00 and he looked like the cat who ate the canary when he said “There is more to come” pointedly twice...meaning there is MORE than accusations that Hilarious and Barry withheld reinforcements, already an impeachable offence.
Exactly right.
Come on, Boehner!
Benghazi Cover up. The biggest piece of Obama “history” that the “media” refuses to cover.
CONGRESSMAN TREY GOWDY (R-SC) TOLD FOX NEWS’ GRETA VAN SUSTEREN WHAT TO EXPECT IN THE BENGHAZI HEARINGS WEDNESDAY, MAY 8.
“It is going to be a very informational, instructive hearing…I would encourage you to follow it. Benghazi is warming up.”
I can’t speak for others but I will say that the reality of the msm having this power is certainly true, to a degree. Where they are unable to dictate the dialogue is social media and it would be helpful if other conservatives took to some of these tools available.
As annoying as twitter can be, it does get the message out.
I’ve long since resolved that the brain dead obamanites will believe anything and everything. But there are plenty of people who really just don’t have the interest and/or the time to follow all the lunacy going on in this country.
Just giving them facts that don’t match what ding dong brian williams says tends to get them interested in asking questions. That’s been my experience. fwiw
This is a wonderful opportunity for a journalist to “make their career” with some true, investigative reporting, ala Woodward and Bernstein
If they have the guts and are not hectored down by their peers that is.
In 1973 the media was obsessed with Watergate. They even made a hero of an old segregationist like Sam Ervin because he was useful to the cause of bringing down Nixon. I recall a column (by Art Buchwald, I think) where he asked, "what did we talk about before Watergate?"
The main thing is to protect Obama and Hillary (as the best hope of maintaining 'Rat control after 2016), so this can't be allowed to balloon to Watergate-size proportions. It may be hard to demonize the four dead Americans but they can minimize the importance of the story.
Riddle me this Batman...... Did the US government assign blame of the death of a US ambassador and other support staff on a video made by a US citizen? Was he arrested and detained to cover up their lie? At what point do we decide that this government is tyrannical?
In the end it will be the little people who will leak the truth. The truth will comeout and I bet it will go all the way to Obama and Hillary—the whole story is not known—the Why has yet to be shown. I think, my theory and others as well, is it was a stunt to show how manly Obama is—but it went wrong and spun out of control. The damage control idea of a Video was a back up fig leaf to cover up the failure—and it didn’t work. The truth will come out—it always does. Its going to be a bad year for Obama—look to see him try a “Wag the Dog” war to hide this and push it off the front pages.
It’s worse than both put together. But the MSM are traitors who have made their bed with 0bama so it’s uncertain if it will ever be the scandal either of those were.
Exhume Nixon and apologize.
The GOP will make it what they choose to make it.
The McCain and Graham crowd will ride this horse to get your minds off the higher taxes, amnesty etc. etc. that they
support otherwise.
Just a reminder: The Watergate break-in was in June and it was the next April before 3 top men (Haldeman and Ehrlichman, and Kleindienst)resigned at the White House because of the scandal. It takes time.
The outcome of Benghazi, and what happened, should totally tank Cankles Clinton’s hopes of a candidacy for President in 2016.
