In an effort to uncover the truth about why the Obama administration was not honest and forthcoming with the American people about the attacks in Benghazi, the Republican National Committee sent a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request letter asking for copies of all emails and documents between Department of State employees and staff on Obama’s reelection campaign between Sept 11 and Nov 7, 2012, that include the words “Libya” and/or “Benghazi.”

Americans need to know whether the State Department had any contact with the staff of the president’s reelection campaign as talking points on Benghazi were drafted and edited. We certainly hope political considerations didn’t come into play when the administration decided what to tell the American people, but the administration’s changing answers certainly raise valid concerns that we don’t know the full story.

Assuming there was no contact between the State Department and the campaign, this should be an easy request to fill,” said RNC Chairman Reince Priebus.

They WILL find something that's for sure. Obama used every bit of power he could muster to cheat in this last election.

Boy this sure reads a lot like Nixon and Watergate.
Nixon was desperate and paranoid about winning that second term.

Whether they find something is yet to be seen but it does sound like Obama's re-election was the priority here.

Assuming there was no contact between the State Department and the campaign, handing over the emails should be an easy request to fill,” said RNC Chairman Reince Priebus.

Obama Wins Reelection With Highest Unemployment Rate Of Any President Since FDR. Obama won the re-election with the highest unemployment rate of any president since FDR. No president ever won with a UE above 8% but we all remember how the UE rate suddenly and unexpectedly dropped just below 8% and how the left refused to tie the number of people who just gave up looking for work.

And now the IRS targeting conservative and religious groups before the campaign. Along with ridiculous claims of the attack was because of a video especially after Obama campaigns on Osama bin Laden is dead and Al-quaeda is on the run

I doubt they will find a paper trail.

I doubt it too but an investigation requires that no stone unturned.

If you are doing something wrong you don't exactly create a paper trail if possible. Like Reagan once said when he was asked what his goal was with the Soviet Union he simply said. "They lose, we win".

Does anyone believe that Obama micro-managed his campaign. Everyone knew the goal and against all odds did what it took.

The GOP letter requests a waiver from fees in their request. Basically they want the taxpayer to pay for their fishing expedition. Typical cheapskates.

Well just think. If the Obama administration told the truth in the first place then there would not be an issue.
