My readers know that I have little respect for the MSM, the corporate media……I think press conferences and interviews are worthless because all it is is a chance to echo talking points without answering questions….O’Donnell tore into the media recently…I could not agree more…….
From time to time I look at the right wing sites just to see what is their big story of the day……….and we have a doozy going on……..
Has anyone else noticed that our Right wing counterparts write only what is the daily talking points on Drudge, Breibet, WorldNetDaily, et al?……and this week’s “big” scoop is a rehash of the Benghazi debacle….who knew what and why……..the big “news” is…….
At least four career officials at the State Department and the Central Intelligence Agency have retained lawyers or are in the process of doing so, as they prepare to provide sensitive information about the Benghazi attacks to Congress, Fox News has learned.
Victoria Toensing, a former Justice Department official and Republican counsel to the Senate Intelligence Committee, is now representing one of the State Department employees. She told Fox News her client and some of the others, who consider themselves whistle-blowers, have been threatened by unnamed Obama administration officials.
Toensing declined to name her client. She also refused to say whether the individual was on the ground in Benghazi on the night of Sept. 11, 2012, when terrorist attacks on two U.S. installations in the Libyan city killed four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens.
Let me see if I have this right? We have unnamed officials and unnamed people giving unsubstantiated accusations, about right? Just the type of information the fanatics can run with for a couple of weeks…….
FUX News and the others are screaming about this story….but yet a real news outlet has nothing about it (at least for now) but I expect the longer the Repubs keep regurgitating the Right wing conspiracies….we will hear it reported there also…..so far this is a theory that is perpetrated by the right…….
Back when this was a real story I asked a couple of questions……why would an ambassador go to a consulate in a danger zone without security……a covert meeting is my first guess. The embassy has mercenaries…..oh my bad… security consultants at their disposal and could have been used if needed…….it is that simple. One thing….the ambassador would not go in light unless it was a meeting that no attention needed to be drawn…….if it were mot important he would have sent the political affairs officer.
I know…I said a couple of questions…..Was the new ambassador so naive that he could not grasp the danger of venturing into a danger zone? I do not believe this one but it is a possibility.
So why the concern now?
An excellent question! The best answer is Hilary Clinton.
To me it looks like the GOP and the right wing whack-a-doodles are concerned that she will run for president and if she runs will win…..so they are doing their best to set up a narrative that can be carried over into a campaign, if needed.
Yes, sports fans….it is that simple……try to cut Hilary off at the knees before she can get a campaign in full swing……it is fun watching the panic set in……..
I will agree that there is probably more to this story than we may ever be made aware of……but anything to bring down the Obama administration? Doubtful!
Any thoughts?
