It's a cliché, of course, but it really is true: in Washington, every scandal has a crime and a coverup. The ongoing debate about the attack on the United States facility in Benghazi where four Americans were killed, and the Obama Administration's response to it, is no exception. For a long time, it seemed like the idea of a coverup was just a Republican obsession. But now there is something to it.
On Friday, ABC News's Jonathan Karl revealed the details of the editing process for the C.I.A.'s talking points about the attack, including the edits themselves and some of the reasons a State Department spokeswoman gave for requesting those edits. It's striking to see the twelve different iterations that the talking points went through before they were released to Congress and to United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice, who used them in Sunday show appearances that became a central focus of Republicans' criticism of the Administration's public response to the attacks. Over the course of about twenty-four hours, the remarks evolved from something specific and fairly detailed into a bland, vague mush.
PPSIMMONS COMMENTARY: Note the following words from the above article paragraphs:
In Washington, every scandal has a crime and a coverup. (Is not the fabricated birth certificate and identification lock down a "scandal?" Of course it is - a five year scandal complete with a 15 month criminal investigation to back it up. Ergo - there is more than likely a crime and cover-up involved.)
For a long time, it seemed like the idea of a coverup was just a Republican obsession. But now there is something to it. (Could it not be in the realm of possibility that the "birther" syndrome and "Republican obsession" with a 15 month long criminal investigation by 6 criminal investigators and a bevy of digital document experts proving that Obama's LFBC is an absolute criminal and felonious fraud is also in the realm of ...."WOW! Now there is something to it?")
