So do I:

Because the consequences (to them) of fighting accusations of covering up and doctoring talking points, are far less severe than the consequences (to them) to admitting they deliberately dowgraded security at a foreign diplomatic post that was under active attack for the purpose of lying to the American people enough to help win an election.

The consequences to the country, are unimportant to them of course.

Does this mean you did NOT vote for Obama and Biden? you know, the Biden who voted FOR the wars.

Does this mean you didn't vote for Kerry, You know, the Kerry who voted FOR the wars.
And I am SURE you WON'T for Hillary because, she ALSO voted for the wars.

The quandary of the left.

Look, its not that we trust the administration, its that years of searching, and meeting after meeting have resulted in nothing of note. Its increasingly obvious that this is a waste of time, and yet your congress critters have no hesitation in wasting time with a faux outrage.

They're going to try and keep this alive for another 2 years to use against Hillary. Its insane.

This is one of the more hilarious rejoinders the cowardly Democrat excuse-makers are coming up with these days.

After nearly two solid years of Democrat evasions, lies, redactions, stonewalling, hiding of witnesses, and refusals to comply with subpoenas.....

....they turn around and tell us that since Congress found nothing, there's nothing to find.

Reminds me of the guy who murdered his parents, and then turned around and applied for "Special Needs" status since he was now an orphan.

"They've already had four bipartisan investigates' You obviously didn't watch ANY of them.

"25,000 documents have been released" So what? There are probably 25,000 MORE that the O admin is hiding.

Well then stop dilly dallying and bring those charges up if there is the proof to back up these allegations.

I give up, who decided to reduce security at the compound? Which isn't something illegal.

Who is "he?" Or did you just answer your own first question?

We don't have teleporters, so getting soldiers there would take time, not something that can happen instantly.

Yeah, you're right, they didn't release the e-mails where they discussed their talking points. There's cause for the GOP to spend ANOTHER two years wasting time and money chasing their dream of a scandal. I'm quite certain no other administration ever discussed talking points before. Scandalous!

I guess we can all be grateful the GOP isn't attempting to do anything important or we'd all be in trouble. This will keep them busy chasing their tails and looking like idiots until 2016. That, at least, they have proven they excel at.

Yet again we are told that it's Republicxans' fault that the Democrats evaded, stalled, lied, stonewalled, etc.

You people need some new talking points, pretty desperately.
