Benghazi Coverup Uncovered

BBC has apologized for its coverage of the Benghazi murders; ABC has unraveled the mendacious tale of the talking points ‘ genesis and the Congressional hearings this week have dramatically established the administration’s elaborate lies about how our ambassador and his brave defenders were murdered and its failure to protect them. Maybe now the press will feel it’s okay to get off their duffs and report how a thoroughly incompetent administration, motivated solely by self-interest, left our ambassador and others to be murdered and then lied about it with consequences to us all.

Were this a trial ‘s closing moments, counsel for the prosecution would be reminding the jury that if a witness has lied about a substantive matter in the hearing they can assume he’s lying about everything.
