Boehner ‘Appalled’ Over White House Concealing Benghazi Documents
The Daily Caller ^ | 4/30/14 | Alex Pappas Political Reporte

Posted on 04/30/2014 11:16:25 PM PDT by Nachum

Speaker of the House John Boehner on Wednesday night condemned the Obama administration for going to “extraordinary lengths to mislead, obstruct, and obscure what actually took place” during the Benghazi terrorist attack of 2012 now that it is clear the White House has not turned over all pertinent documents.

The Ohio Republican made the comments after the release of new emails this week by a conservative group, which obtained them through a Freedom of Information Act request. The emails indicate that the White House played a bigger role than previously admitted in crafting the now-debunked initial talking points on the attacks that left four Americans dead, including Chris Stevens, the U.S. ambassador to Libya.

“I am appalled to learn that the administration concealed relevant documents after the House subpoenaed all emails related to the misleading talking points,” Boehner said in a release to reporters.

The documents released Tuesday shows Ben Rhodes, a top foreign policy aide in the White House, saying the goal of then-U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice’s now-infamous Sunday talk show appearances was to “to underscore that these protests are rooted in an Internet video, not a broader failure of policy.”

Is he shocked enough to do anything about this? Impeachment proceedings?

He needs to watch ‘House of Cards’ and take notes.

I’m really surprised this email was released to Judicial Watch and not the shredder. Did someone screw up the cover up?

Close your mouth, Bro. Not your best look there, regardless of your natural inclinations.

A number of conservatives, led by Rep. Frank Wolf of Virginia, has called for a select committee to investigate the attacks. But Boehner has publicly asserted that he is against the establishment of a select committee, saying he thinks the best course for examining the attacks is letting the five House committees already investigating to continue their work.

On Wednesday, Boehner reiterated his support for House probes to continue.

I am sure that whoever released it is in hiding for his/her life. This is the one, true, smoking gun that should have never seen daylight.

I am not even sure the MSM can spin this. Although I am sure they will try.

In mathematical terms,

Boehner is to Obama

as

Obama is to Putin.

Benghazi cover up, going after Tea Party groups that were trying to prevent voter fraud, Obamacare wavers to mask the law's effect -- all in an attempt to manipulate an election.

Democrats will do anything to win.

Something should be done to ensure honest elections.

Bonehead is just another broken down predictable character in Washington’s ongoing KABUKI theater presentation.

Simple explanation as to why; HE KNEW WHAT WAS GOING DOWN IN BENGHAZI.

Worthless pos was/is part of the ‘gang of 8’ who had knowledge of the covert operation being run by the government to air the rebels.

It’s a crying shame we have a media bought and paid for by God knows why. We are sheep being led to the slaughter.

Sickening to realize how these pols lie with such ease.

Boehner can fry for all I care. And toss McCain into the pile along with our _resident. Out of 300 million + people in this nation, THESE freaks are the best we can come up with??
