Congratulations, Ed!! You’ve almost woken up!! ALMOST!!

REALIZE THIS: This ENTIRE Petraues Kerfuffle was something that the Obama Adminstration had in their “back pocket” for MONTHS in case they had to use it to CENSOR AND SHUT-UP PETRAEUS ON BENGHAZI!!

Now – AFTER you’ve had More Coffee – you might want to PRY your partner Allashpundit from smelling Boradwell and Petraeuss’ undergarments and divert him to WHAT OBAMA IS USING THIS FOR – SILENCING PETRAEUS!!

If that was the boy king’s plan, it was a stupid one. Patraeus is now a private citizen. Obama no longer has any leverage over him, so he is free to tell what he knows about Benghazi, either through Congressional hearings, the National Enquirer, or a tell-all book deal.

If he still has a thread of the decency and honor he was purported to have had, he will, no matter what that truth might be.

Yeah “Duh” is appropriate – yes, he’s a private citizen – AND HE NO LONGER HAS THE LEGAL PROTECTION OF THE GOVERNMENT TO KEEP HIM SAFE = WHY WOULD HE TALK WITH HIS LIFE AT STAKE AND NO ONE OR NOTHING TO PROTECT HIM??

GENIUS, Flora……..tell me, what FLAVOR is the MSNBC Kool-Aid?

When a Democratic Senator has to go on MSNBC to threaten a Democratic administration with a subpoena, well …. it should raise a few eyebrows.

When such things happen in Chicago it indicates one of two things.

1. There is an internal power struggle going on in the Machine.

2. Or, the Machine politicians are putting on a show for the plebes designed to create the illusion they do not collude and conspire behind closed doors on everything.

Not sure if this carries over to the national stage, but I have little doubt the upstart Chicago Gang often grates on the NorthEast and West coast lefties.

I never thought I’d see that lady doing something I’d like. If something stinks so bad that leading Democrats are standing up to the Obama administration over it, then Obama may be facing a very unpleasant second term. And that’s assuming the stuff doesn’t hit the fan before the end of his first.

This is why I have a feeling an impeachment, if we get that far, may have more weight this time around. I think there are enough Dems (DiFi being one of them) who actually take national security and foreign policy seriously enough to be pissed off about the whole Benghazi episode. If enough crap comes up, they may very well throw Obama under the bus.

It would be a lovely day, and I’m certainly not holding my breath. But there is a glimmer of possibility here. It’s worth paying attention to. Those of us who have even semi-reasonable Democratic Senators should be keeping an eye on them. You never know when just the right nudge causes a cascade.

Yeah, yeah. Whistling in the dark. But you never know….

When she was caught scamming the system for her husband, caught red handed pushing business to her husbands businesses…she negotiated with President Bush, she promised not to attack him but to defend his war policies, if he backed off…
She suddenly became an advocate of Bush’s foreign policies, against, and no charges were ever brought up…I think one of Bush’s lowest points of presidency.

Feinstein is a key player in obama’s Benghazi cover-up – – – her fake outrage is ridiculous and completely transparent.

Pork-Chop on November 13, 2012 at 8:57 AM

That’s a pretty dangerous game to play. How can she know for certain what’ll be said when these people are dragged before Congress under oath to testify and that all of the witnesses testimony will match up?

Doughboy on November 13, 2012 at 8:59 AM

In a rational and legal world that is true.

However, with this crowd anything goes and Feinstein with do nothing. Move along. Nice job of sounding concerned. Real problem is Republicans will cave as usual to do anything or get to the bottom of it all.

Jarrett and Holder surely have some juicy stuff on Feinstein, so she’s playing with fire here.

Congress, a co-equal branch of government, has its own ideas about what the President needs. They have given him latitude in the past but I predict they will be more jealous of their role during the second term.

That’s cute how you think Obama will listen to anyone. “Oh, but they’ll force him to.” Unless someone is prepared to send police into the Oval Office to arrest him for violating the law, he will defy anything he wants to defy, lawful or not, Constitutional or not, and just dare folks to do anything about it. He thinks is is beyond reproach.

Happy Nomad on November 13, 2012 at 9:53 AM

I concur. Those of you who think that the senators are going to just fall into line behind Obama are forgetting that they think of themselves as his equal. A senator who was just re-elected has two years beyond Obama’s final term before they even have to run again. So they are not nearly as concerned about how this affects HIM as they are about how he may be blocking them. His power grabbing was for the most part overlooked in the first term, but, it will not go over as well now.

And where is dear leader, anyway?

Where’s the nearest golf course?

If he still has a thread of the decency and honor he was purported to have had, he will, no matter what that truth might be.

Flora Duh on November 13, 2012 at 10:53 AM

The congress can change his status back and actually court marshall him, alas…the wussies.

Plus, the story is still unfolding.

Pravda is doing a better job than the US media do.

C’mon- You think these morons have decided to do their job the way they should? Do the right thing? after America just told them their OK with the corruption and scandal.

These “ploys with the media” have NOTHING to do with finding the truth about Benghazi. Kabuki, but with stupid people.

This is all about building Petraeus up as the inevitable Fall Guy (who knew?) and while we’re at it throw out enough discrediting BS of the military along with some vagyna diaries.

How would anyone NOT want to cut Military budgets after this scandal? Lets put Janet Incompetano in charge of something here.

So far, though, the CIA and the White House have refused to provide it — and yesterday, Feinstein threatened that subpoenas may be forthcoming if the stonewalling continues:

Executive Privilege!

Sounds like she is sending a gentle reminder about those defense sequestration cuts.
