How is this not a "scandal" with wall to wall coverage?WH Benghazi emails have different quotes than earlier reported http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-18563_162-57584947


WH Benghazi emails have different quotes than earlier reported

from CBS: Republicans have charged that the State Department under Hillary Clinton was trying to protect itself from criticism. The White House released the real emails late Wednesday. Here's what we found when we compared them to the quotes that had been provided by Republicans . . .

Aren't we all now tired of this, and we should move forward. Nothing to see here.

Now we're off to the IRS scandal, and the AP story.

I only hope we find Karl Roves fingerprints somewhere along the line, and I hope he squeals like a pig to save his ass.

I haven't heard his name mentioned much this week, but he's in on it. "There's no fraud like Rove... There's no fraud like Rove... There's no fraud like Rove..."

"someone should go to jail for this"

Mr. Speaker, resign and head straight to prison. No free pass!

The Fux News(?) viewers never get the other side of the story. They still believe Saddam had WMD, so why wouldn't they think our socialist, Kenyan president isn't coming to get their guns, didn't sic the IRS on the Teabaggers, didn't murder the ambassador personally, and tapped innocent phone lines just for grins.

Last couple of days things were justa hummin' with what a lousy President Obama is and all that regurgitated nonsense we hear here like clockwork since 2008. Groundhog Day hit once again.

. . . not really the best political strategy, but, we can bring some turbulence. We still need to take all of this to them.

falling apart, and if the "turbulence" is severe enough, they'll look like the fools they truly are. The "liberal media" will turn on them for making them look foolish, by association. One can hope.

Now that 2 colleagues have said GOP staffers gave phony email text to Jon Karl can Karl still pretend he wasn't bamboozled ?

It doesn't fit the current "narrative." But said narrative fueled by doctored emails/lying by GOP Hill staff. How not universal major story?


Greg Sargent ?@ThePlumLineGS 52m
Conservative reporters have zero interest in revelations that Rs doctored email to make Benghazi story look worse.

So, the Benghazi scandal now boils down to a question of . . .

. . . what did Darrell Issa know and when did he know it?
