With Responses from Conservative Refocus

House Republicans accused the Obama administration of withholding information about its initial response to last year’s terror attack in Benghazi, Libya, and issued a subpoena on Tuesday seeking additional information.

CR: “Accuse” Indeed, it would seem that we are well past the stage of accusal and are actively within the discovery period, in fact.  We do for a certainty know that the Susan Rice marching orders in which she appeared on every major news show while blaming a video, have been proven to be a lie designed to deflect, prior to a major election.

We also know that no one within the mideast was actively aware of such a video until the Obama Regime began apologizing for it. We know that the CIA talking points in addition to the testimony of CIA Director Patraeus, who indicated a definite terrorist attack, were redrawn at least 12 times and continually modified as the truth leaked out about Benghazi.

We now know, for a fact, that the Obama Regime was lying to the American people so that Obama’s campaign theme of defeating terrorism could be uninterrupted by the actual facts.

Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., wrote Secretary of State John Kerry on Tuesday to notify him of the subpoena, which seeks “all documents and communications” among a handful of State Department officials regarding the crafting of the department’s public explanation for the Sept. 11, 2012 attack in Benghazi.

CR: Of which most will be redacted via blacked-out text and in blocks.

They may allow the people to see the “to and from” headers, if we are lucky. However, Obama will probably claim executive priviledge in order to clog-up a full and actual  investigation.

See DOJ AG Eric Holder’s news stories and notes on Fast and Furious,  if you are unfamiliar with this Regime technique.

The subpoena is another step in Republicans’ long journey to unearth more details about the Benghazi response, which they have used to politically ding President Barack Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

CR: The Republican’s long journey?

Interesting but shouldn’t the reporter be saying the Media’s long journey in trying to unearth more details? Oh, that’s right, the media has been actively involved in trying to cover this story up while the Republicans have been trying to learn more.

It’s called checks and balances O’Brien and it’s been a stated function of government for more than 240 years, the fact that the fourth estate has largely dumped it historical role is a thing that has been apparently lost on the Regime apparatchiks such as incurious NBC reporters who have been forced to write a story by their editors.

Nor could it be certainly stated that the Republicans are trying to “ding” the Obama Regime.

CR: Obama, has without a doubt, smashed his administration via head-on collision into a wall, called Benghazi, not the Republicans.

Obama has dismissed much of the Benghazi uproar as a politically-motivated fishing expedition, though his administration did disclose 100 pages worth of copies of emails earlier this month documenting how talking points regarding Benghazi were developed in the immediate aftermath of the attack.

CR: As did Richard M.Nixon…at first…..as in dismissing it and calling it a fishing expedition, pinhead.

Interesting that the Reporter failed, rather miserably, at bringing up the State Dept’s “whistle-Blower” testimony of career officials who were intimidated by the regime, which not coincidently inculcates a large part of the reason for the Republican’s inquiry.

Our indefatigable reporter probably didn’t even know about this., at least we can assume.

But this article is not reporting, it’s apologizing…..maybe O’Brien’s next up for Carney’s job……he’d be a shoe-in.

Yet, maybe we might also actually get to see “what difference it makes”
