I still want to know the answer to one question.. Why did they reveal it now? They could have just shut their mouth and we might never have known. Were they trying to beat a whistle blower to the punch?
IMO they were trying to derail the Benghazi hearings. You don't hear the press asking "where were you after 5 Mr. President? Who gave the stand-down order?"

It feeds right into my "why now" thread..
I will make a new thread instead of adding on here since i have a new idea about this. About why obama choose bush people to be his heads of these departments.
NBC reported the IRS knew for a full year conservative groups were being targeted. The scandal is getting bigger and uglier. Anyone here still believe Obama didn't know anything?
NBC's Lisa Myers reported this morning that the IRS deliberately chose not to reveal that it had wrongly targeted conservative groups until after the 2012 presidential election:
The crucial ingredient for a scandal is the prospect of high-level White House involvement and wide political repercussions. Government wrongdoing is boring. Scandals can bring down presidents, decide elections and revive down-and-out political parties. Scandals can dominate American politics for months at a time.
On Tuesday, it looked like we had three possible political scandals brewing. Two days later, with much more evidence available, it doesn’t look like any of them will pan out. There’ll be more hearings, and more bad press for the Obama administration, and more demands for documents. But — and this is a key qualification — absent more revelations, the scandals that could reach high don’t seem to include any real wrongdoing, whereas the ones that include real wrongdoing don’t reach high enough. Let’s go through them.

Which is why the IRS and AP scandals were released last week. Theres nothing tying obama to those. But benganzi is a different story. That whistle blower that wasnt allowed to testify or the risk that hillary would be recalled and what she might say must have worried the white house that it needed to be pusjed off of mainstream medias front page. This way they take the heat on stuff they can survive while blocking the scandal that was a risk to the white house.
The wild card is hillary! She can tie it all to obama and his inner circle. How she uses her knowledge is the question. She surly will not take one for the team.

On the other hand, she may be so intimately involved in the Benghazi scandal she has to stay quiet. IMO this is a major cover-up, everyone has each other by the cojones and nobody has blinked yet. It could get uglier.
Hillary has to decide if she's running in 2016 or not. Should she blow the whistle on this mess or help Obama keep the lid on it?
