If Benghazi Was A Cover Up, How High Did It Go? -- David Francis, The Fiscal Times
The controversy over the September 2012 attack against an American consulate in Benghazi reached a fever pitch over the weekend, with Senator Jim Inhofe (R-OK) even threatening to impeach President Obama for covering up the U.S.’s failure to protect its diplomats.
“They knew that it was a cover-up at that time, the time that it happened,” Inhofe said Saturday. “People may be starting to use the I-word before too long.”

My Comment: Senator Jim Inhofe's hinting at impeachment over the weekend is not helpful to getting a better understanding on what happened at Benghazi. Also .... after today's news conference .... it is obvious that the White House is not going to help in any probe on Benghazi. I expect that it is only after more witnesses and whistle blowers testify that a select committee and/or special prosecutor will then be appointed, and they will use their authority to get to the bottom of this story..

The true shame in the Far Right’s ignorant obsession with this tragedy is the effect on the families of the victims. This entire process is being instrumented as a ruse to attempt to shame Hillary Clinton and our President. Our Republican Congressmen spend their days trying to Bamboozle Obama instead of doing what they are paid for by representing their constituents. See what kind of job they’ve done applying the blackface to the POTUS at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2012/10/bamboozling-obama.html Their hands are sticking to this tar baby as the public is becoming increasing impatient with the nonsense and waste of taxpayer money.
People need to be held accountable, serious questions need to be answered, and changes need to be made and there needs to be more oversight.
