Bachmann's "conspiracy" about Benghazi is falling apart, so...

Naturally, "somebody was paid off!"

Michele Bachmann Claims Hillary Clinton 'Bought And Paid For' Testimony Undermining Benghazi Conspiracy Theories

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Thursday, 4/10/2014 10:45 am

Last week, we reported that Rep. Michele Bachmann is out with a new conspiracy theory about the Benghazi attack, which she laid out to the extremist website WorldNetDaily.

According to Bachmann, because ex-CIA Acting Director Michael Morell’s congressional testimony contradicted her own Benghazi conspiracy theory, Morell must be lying and working on behalf of Hillary Clinton. “f Hillary becomes the next president, he can safely become the next director of the CIA,” she said. “That’s what this is all about.”

Not only did Morell’s testimony undermine Bachmann’s conspiracy theory about Benghazi, but so did official reports on the incident, including the House GOP’s own report.

Yesterday, Bachmann took to The Janet Mefferd Show to claim that the reason Morell's testimony didn’t support her conspiracy theory was because his testimony was “bought and paid for” by Hillary Clinton and her allies.

MB for this crap. I don't know if it would stand, though, since she is a public political figure. Maybe Morell could successfully go after her, though.

Would gain dramatically in respect in a lot of peoples eyes if she goes after this hard...Someone needs to stop it and just because she is a public figure does not negate her rights to stand up for herself when someone demeans,libels and defames her.

and reminded her why she's not running for office again. In a just world she'd be on her way to prison for campaign finance fraud. Why does this ethically challenged woman get so much airplay?
