Benghazi-Gate: A Disgrace To The Nation
By Attorney Rees Lloyd

What is now being called “Benghazi-Gate” by internet journalists and bloggers but being ignored by the major American media, other than investigative reporters of Fox News, is a disgrace to the nation, and a disgrace to those of the major national media who pose and posture as impartial, objective, independent journalists.
Whatever the politics, party, or choice for president any American may have, the impartial, independent, objective reality is that what happened in Benghazi–and in its aftermath — is a national disgrace.
It is now beyond all reasonable doubt that the administration of President Barack Hussein Obama, and Obama himself, did not speak truth to the American people of what happened at Benghazi, nor how, and why it happened.
The repeated representations of the Obama administration — and Obama himself, including at the United Nations — have now been exposed as utterly false political concoctions that Benghazi was a spontaneous response by a mob to an internet purported “trailer” to a (non-existent) film bashing the Prophet Muhammad as, among other things, a child-molesting sexual predator who married his favorite wife at the age of 6 and consummated the marriage when she was 9 years old. (That allegation, of course, happens to be a factually correct, in contrast to the contrived false representations of the Obama administration about Benghazi.)
Obama’s false representations, like the false representations in the Watergate scandal, are a poison that damage the body politic, and the soul, of the nation. That poison can only be remedied by exposure of the truth by Obama and his administration–and/or by the media.
It is the media, after all, who tout that their very reason for existence is to serve “the public’s right to know” the truth of the government. And it is government, after all, which exists to serve the people, not the other way around.
Our American government exists by the “consent of the governed” under our Declaration of Independence and Constitution. But the “consent of the governed” becomes a meaningless hoax if that consent is obtained by hiding the truth, or deliberately covering it up by false representations. Lies.
But Obama, while asking Americans to re-hire him as President for another four years, refuses to forthrightly address the Benghazi scandal and answer the critical questions presented.
Obama’s refusal to deal honestly with what is rightly now deemed “Benghazi-Gate” is a disgrace not only to Obama and his administration, but to the nation itself.
Simply stated: Americans died, and Obama lied. And continues to lie. Blatantly. Boldly. In utter contempt of the American people, to whom he and Joe Biden pose the question: “Who do you trust?”
