Did Darrell Issa Just Sabotage the New Benghazi Committee? [Useful idiot alert!]
New Republic ^ | May 22, 2014 | Brian Beutler

Posted on 05/25/2014 6:11:37 AM PDT by don-o

Either Darrell Issa is so miffed at Republican leaders for yanking the Benghazi investigation out from under him that he's intentionally undermining the new House Select Committee, or he just vindicated those who believe he wasn't up to the task. Either way he just blew a hole in one big piece of the conspiracy theory.

Also, Obama and Hillary made a video saying that the USG was not responsible for the YouTube video that was played in Pakistan and other countries in the region.

If I recall correctly, that was done before there was any word of a video out there. I found it peculiar that it was sent out ahead of time.

The cowards are being offered the benefits of being a beneficiary of a corrupt government while being threatened with their property, harm to their loved ones, and even loss of life if they break ranks. This is how the Mafia operated for years.

The Mafia was broken by offering an alternative choice: cooperate with us and enjoy protection and an escape, or spend the rest of your life in a 9x9 cell while everyone else gets richer at your expense.

I don’t see anyone offering an alternative choice.

Question! Did the religious tolerance at the beginning of our Nation include such for Muslims? I don’t recall in my learnings that the Koran and Islam were in the used religions. It appears such speak is more twisting of history to justify Jihad in the USA.

Treason is when an American provides “aid and comfort” to an enemy. Obama provided aid to the enemy, Al Qaeda. Hillary and Obama provided comfort to Al Qaeda when they made and released their “We’re sorry!” commercial. Al Qaeda required that specifically to prove the treason of Hillary and Obama.
It is the Democrat Party that stands ever-threatening against any action being taken against Hillary and Obama. They threaten to turn our government into more of an extension of the Democrat Party or to rile their members into insurrection if action is taken against their leaders. That is how all bullies and enforcement rackets work.
I like a good brawl. Those tough-talking Democrats are like all bullies and they’ll sing a different tune once they take a shot in the old snot box and taste their own blood. Then they’ll be talking about how they were just kidding and we didn’t understand them and gee they’re sorry.

No. It was released on September 20 using Obama's remarks on September 12 and Hillary's on Sept 13.

Where was the CIC as all this was going down?

He was NOT a “hands-on” part of this operation.

WHY NOT?

The American people have a right to know the answer.

All these hearings are so much show.

Let’s cut to the chase.

No Special Prosecutor, and this is what you get.

Where the hell did Patrick Fitzgerald come from...the Scooter Libby prosecutor?

(or was it his friend Gerald Fitzpatrick?)

the people DO know about "Obama", and they re-elected him.

Well, "the voters" did. Not so sure about "the people".

Post whatever you want, just don’t be surprised or offended by criticism when you post leftist propaganda.

Quite frankly, I do prefer articles that support conservative viewpoints and/or expose leftists for the scum they are.

In my view, the Free Republic home page disclaimer has set the standard:

“Free Republic is a site dedicated to the concerns of traditional grassroots conservative activists. We’re here to discuss and advance our conservative causes in a more or less liberal-free environment. We’re not here to debate liberals. We do not want our pages filled with their arrogant, obnoxious, repugnant bile.”

"I agree. The only reason everyone even knew about that video is because of the big advertising push by the WH. If the state department or whatever really thought the video was a cause of violence, why did they deliberately fan the flames? So our freedom of speech could be blamed?"

Exactly, when I first heard mention of that video and checked it out it had less than 500 hits before the WH pumped it up.

Religion for our founding fathers implied different Christian denominations. The presumption was all law was generated to control those who were unlawful and not to burden the law abiding.

Today, relativism ignores criminality unless it is multiply witnessed and proven beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Our society now becomes a testbed to manifest the consequences of not remaining faithful to God through faith in Christ in all things.

Look whatever the truth is..just get to it..If it a fact it’s a fact ..so to suggest it be held back to make a case is crap..but conversely if it helped Hillary don’t you think she release it herself?

We don’t get to pick the special prosecutor, but the Attorney General does.

This is probably why both parties agreed SP’s are not to be used. How officially set in stone that agreement was, I can’t recall.

Sounds like a perfect application for the People’s Grand Jury.

In fact, all these “phony scandals” do.

Cover up of what? Obstruction of what?

Clinton told the American public a big fat lie.
She covered up the cause. Those who did this were never prosecuted because of this lie.

Will there be an impeachment? No.
Is Clinton's political career over? Probably.

Obstruction? How is it that Judicial Watch got documents that Congressional republicans were refused?
By itself, that means nothing. But it does demonstrate obstruction to the F&F civil case.

The Republicans are a joke. They wait long enough into the second term so that the Administration can play out the clock so justice cannot not be applied to the guilty.

The Republicans are just trying to build up some street cred so they can get enough gullible voters to keep them in power in the House and also take the Senate.

As it has been said by others, the Democrats are the agenda setters and the Republicans are the placeholders. They are Democrat-lite all the way.
