Now we all know that both the State Department under Hillary and the White House under Obama lied up and down about Benghazi, but now there are documents pointing to a carefully orchestrated plan to mislead the public.

    I would like to remain optimistic, but we don't know.

    In the end, it is all going to come down to Obama. There has already been a lot of media coverage of the issue. If they don't prosecute, I think it sends a message about government and tarnishes Obama's legacy even further. Bill Clinton has been lambasting Obama on the campaign trail, so Obama may want payback. There's no love lost between the Obamas and Clintons.

    On the other side, however, Obama does want to protect his legacy, and since most of his legacy was accomplished via Executive Actions instead of actual legislation, the next President can simply undo everything with a stroke of the pen and there's absolutely nothing Obama can do. He knows that the only way any of that survives is to have a Democrat in the White House.

    The last piece to throw in is FBI Director Comey, who by all reports is an honorable guy. FBI insiders have already leaked the fact that if the AG doesn't prosecute, they will leak all the evidence to the public, which might in the end be more damning - both to Hillary and Obama.

    Anyone want to bet the AG decides it's not admissable or otherwise doesn't meet the standard and refuses to prosecute?
    Agents of the government act as judge on the guilt of government agents. Promotions and power are based on collusion, favortism, and corruption.
    It was not intended to work that way and it will not result in justice.

    Perfect, so now we have hard evidence for what we already knew. I think the bigger point is that these people that denied any wrong doing from the State Department and/or the White House have to eat crow. Clearly deception took place without a doubt, needs to be investigated, charges filed and impeachment proceedings started. Both the WH and the SD including the President and the Secretary of State have perpetrated in a cover-up. But unlike Nikon, people died…

    Nothing will come of it for three reasons, the head of the Department of Justice is a White House appointee, the news media isn’t news and the people are too dumb to care.

    I’m holding my breath until the election but I fell it is only to be let down.

    A cruel irony, to be sure and bound to be challenged and adjudicated by the Supreme Court (which given its current configuration would be deadlocked in her favor).

    Hardly. What would be a surprise is if anything at all comes of this. Clinton will no doubt be pardoned.

    Yes, but what this confirms is that the State Department and White House both knew it was a false narrative and coordinated to perpetuate a false narrative.

    I think if I was the guy who made the video, I'd be pointing at this and taking the State Department and White House to court for about anything one can think of. And if he files the paperwork now, he stands a pretty good chance of no one in the court system moving on it until the next President (and Justice Department head) get put in office.

    And if we had anyone of conscience in the House, they would use this to immediately begin formal Impeachment hearings. It's highly unlikely, but in an ideal world, that is exactly what would happen.
