Who gave Obama the idea that the Benghazi incident was orchestrated by a bunch of protesters not happy with a certain video?

Try again.
You know. That is something that doesnt get mentioned enough. After Obama and Hillary went and railed against a video no one was even paying attention to, protests did spring up. And not only that, people died in some of those protests. How much of that blood is on their hands for their phony blame the video crap?! And let's not forget, tax payer money was spent playing videos/ads of Obama/hillary railing against the video in foreign countries.

Maybe you're right, lying isnt always impeachable. But this goes beyond lying. They wanted so bad to cover for Obama's Arab outreach and what not, they took it and ran with it regarding that video. And people friggin died. If we had a press worth a damn, perhaps theyd look into just how many of those protests sprang up due to the Obama Admin and how many lives were lost because of it.

CIA I believe. But there was also evidence that it wasnt a video.

And not only that. Look at the fact that there were threats in Benghazi for months before the incident. And yet what the hell was done? Nothing or next to nothing. Who the hell has been held accountable for that? Anyone? Why the hell did we have people on the ground there in the first place on the 9/11 Anniversary, after previous attacks there and warnings?!?! And again, who is being asked those questions and why is no one held accountable?

The absolute biggest issue I have with all this is not just the lying, its the why the hell did we have people there that we knew werent being protected well enough facing threats in the first place?! And most importantly, why is no one being held accountable? Its the same story over and over with this Admin. No one is held accountable. IRS, Benghazi, Fast/Furious. No accountability and in each and every instance, this Admin has lied.

So what is the impeachable offense here? Beyond the typical right wingers don't like Obama.

Now that we've finally gotten past an owner of a basketball team and his nonsense...

Its time to start impeachment trials.
Na, I'll go back to the racist, sexist pig thread - it's more fun

Why not ask Congress to ask direct questions after they subpoena somebody to sit before them
in the first place. That would be a start.

So, in an effort to cover up a failure to protect an embassy from an orchestrated terror attack the Obama administration chose to say it was in fact a random rabble of people pissed off over YouTube that was able to storm an embassy. They CHOSE to tell everyone their defenses were breached... not by an organized terror squad... but by people pissed over YouTube... in order to prevent Obama from looking bad.

Can a Republican come in here an explain how that makes ANY sense in the conservative mind?

.....When it's done by a Democrat.
If Bush or any Republican President had done this it would be hell to pay and the media would be all over it 24/7.
The hypocrisy is pathetic.

When the consulate attack on 9/11 started, the American personnel burned up the lines to Washington, telling them it was happening.

And not one of them ever mentioned that it seemed to be a protest over a video that somehow got out of hand when people started to get angry.

Everyone on the ground at the Benghazi compound as attackers came over the wall, fired RPGs, and set things on fire, reported that it was a massive, organized ATTACK by people who came there for exactly that purpose, armed to the teeth with heavy weapons.

The story about the attack being nothing more than a bunch of film critics upset over a video someone put on Youtube, was invented by someone in Washington, long after they heard the truth from the people in the ground in Benghazi.
