It sure explains a lot. I can't believe they were naive enough to think they were safe.

Good old nepotism has worked for the WH for the past 5 years. Even having siblings (or a spouse) working high up at the WH didn't help with this one.

Not mentioned is Jay Carney's wife, Claire Shipman, who is the senior national correspondent for CBS program Good Morning America.

CBS News President David Rhodes and ABC News President Ben Sherwood, both of them have siblings that not only work at the White House, that not only work for President Obama, but they work at the NSC on foreign policy issues directly related to Benghazi. Let's call a spade a spade.

Let's also show you why CNN did not go very far in covering these hearings because the CNN deputy bureau chief, Virginia Moseley, is married to Hillary Clinton’s deputy, Tom Nides.

Let's hear it lefties....."don't pay attention to those conspiracy nuts!"



Don't even have to go back weeks for this Obama statement.

Who knows where this may have led a good investigative reporter...Apparently we'll never know. You got a racist fanatic running the department, and using National Security as an excuse.

They pretty much told the press "Watch your step...we know exactly what you are doing".

It's a disgrace - This Obama and crew have to be impeached and fast. I've never heard of an Administration with so many offenses against their own people....It's like every week some other scandal pops up.

And you little soldiers don't have the brains to think for yourselves. You don't understand what keeps this country free.
Yeah, you guys on the right get your old buddy Newt to lead the charge.

If something would have happened, like another Benghazi, because government people weren't doing their jobs in the intelligence end of things, you'd be screaming again anyway.

In your eyes, Obama's administration is damned if he does, and damned if he doesn't. You'll never stop complaining.

Wasn't it the reich wing that said democrats were soft on terrorism? Now that you find this isn't true, you want to protect even the people who intend to do America harm.

Just where did the MSM and AP especially get the notion they were exempt from this administration's method of governance?

It's like they think that because they have relatives in high places in this administration they would not be spied upon.

The spin from this will come from the WH and every word will exonerate the DOJ, the FBI, the WH and o.

I predict this is but the tip of the iceberg on this story.

Get ready for the roller coaster ride. Even the lies will sound good soon.

It is an incestuous business, politics and news. It did not start yesterday.

David Gregory's wife is federal prosecutor who gave a bunch of money to Romney.

I guess if Mrs. Clarence Thomas can be on the payroll of men who have cases before the Supremes, anything goes.

I'm beginning to wonder since political appointees are no longer forced to quit when their guy leaves office, do they stick around to sandbag the other party?

Not true. You are confusing true libs (the ACLU is full of them and they are vocal and upset over the IRS actions etc) with party loyalists.

Don't forget all the party loyalists that claim to be conservatives that didn't blink at Bush's expensive wars, patriot act etc etc etc.

Party loyalists are a brainless plague. Like zombies only with worse habits.

Maybe everyone should be asking which Judge authorized the subpoena and what was in the filing for said subpoena to authorize this level of record gathering?

The partisan pickering on both sides is getting stupid these days as everyone ignores either the real issue or the right questions.
