Are either of you familiar with the CENTER FOR AMERICAN PROGRESS (CAP) ?
P.S. Rumor is that the 'other shoe' to drop is that McDonough or Donilon was the one that gave the STAND DOWN order, not Obama.
This 'rumor' comes from Gingrich: A reliable Senator tells me two networks have stand-down e-mails from Donilons office
Is the bad news that we can't nail Obama with this?
Is that Impeachable? Dereliction of Duty?
Throwing McDonough to the wolves?
Send him to a cushy prison in exchange for?
So, if he gave the “stand down” order how could Obama NOT know he did or gave him approval in the first place?
Either Obama casually went to bed and told gave him the “Stand Down” order or he didn’t know about it. Which is worse?
I have to tell you. Every day...every frickin day for the past 5 years there’s been something. Some new revelation.
