Inhofe Suggests Obama May Be Impeached Over Benghazi

Calling last year's deadly attack in Benghazi, Libya the "most egregious cover-up in American history," Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK) predicted Thursday that President Barack Obama will soon face calls of impeachment.

“Of all the great cover-ups in history — the Pentagon papers, the Iran-Contra, Wategrate and all the rest of them — this … is going to go down as the most serious, the most egregious cover-up in American history,” Inhofe said during an appearance on The Rusty Humphries Show.

<...>

“People may be starting to use the I-word before too long,” Inhofe later said.

When Humphries asked if he was referring to "impeachment," the ranking member on the Senate Armed Services Committee confirmed that he was.

Inhofe's office did not immediately respond to TPM's request for comment.

Top Republican ‘Fairly Satisfied’ With White House’s Account Of Benghazi

Senate Foreign Relations Committee Ranking Member Bob Corker (R-TN) said Wednesday that he's "fairly satisfied" with the Obama administration's account of events that led to the deaths of American diplomats in Benghazi last year.

"We need to know were these people culpable or not. If they were, why are they still on the payroll? Other than that, I've been able to read all the cables. I've seen the films," Corker told MSNBC. "I feel like I know what happened in Benghazi. I'm fairly satisfied."

He cautioned House Republicans to be "respectful" if they probe the issue further.

"Look, if the House wants to have hearings," he said, "I hope they're done in a respectful way and hopefully it will shed some light on what happened."

On edit, ever notice that when Republicans want to make something appear worse than it is, the worst incidents they have to compare it with happened under Republican Presidents: 9/11, Iran-Contra, Iraq War, Katrina, Pentagon papers, Watergate...

One of these things is not like the other

1. If they pull some stunt over this than we should impeach every futuure GOP president just for

the hell of it.

[liberal N proud]

11. That is kind what the republicans have been trying to since Nixon

They are still pissed that he resigned in disgrace and want every Democrat that holds the office to pay the price.

What needs to happen is every republican in Congress thrown out on treason charges for their lack of governing and obstruction. That might just stop this bull shit.

[BlueCaliDem]

2. Nope. No Republican partisan attacks for political power as they "investigate" Benghazi.

Nope. None at all.

[SummerSnow]

3. 11 US embassy attacks under Bush..with Americans killed.

No outrage ever from anyone. This country is doomed.

[kelliekat44]

9. I haven't seen any media reports on this, yet I sent the link to that info to every cable outlet.

Perhaps they need to receive a flood of links and comments pointing this out?

[SummerSnow]

30. I agree

[Bluzmann57]

4. That's what they've wanted since day 1

Look how well it worked out for them with Bill Clinton. His favorability rating went through the roof and the repukes lost their asses. So repukes, think before you act if you really want to save your cushy jobs.

[Zen Democrat]

5. Inhofe always looks like he just stumbled out of Boehner's Whiskey Bar.

[The Magistrate]

6. They Will Shoot Themselves In The Head If They Do, Ma'am

I suggest they move directly to lay the articles before the House....

[11 Bravo]

21. We can only hope so, Sir. I for one am tired of them shooting themselves in the foot. I want ...

some fucking HEAD shots!

[Junkdrawer]

23. In a country with an even close to impartial media, you're right....

Last I checked, that's not us.

Dean Scream

[Junkdrawer]

7. So...Pres. Obama...how's that Bipartisan thing working out for you?

[EarlG]

8. I hope they try it

The backlash will be exquisite.

[ProSense]

10. They may have no other choice

Desperation is taking over.

Too much positive economic news, Boehner cries, "Benghazi"
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10022820110

"The backlash will be exquisite."

[galileoreloaded]

31. benghazi is bullshit...but dont keep

beating that improved economic drum. please. cause then you and I will argue, and it will be all graphy, and you will argue minute improvements without any structural underpinnings, and then I will bust out the true dismal global growth picture, and then you will double down on your behavior, and then so will I, and ultimately it will just serve to further push our budding romance to the side...further depriving the world of the power couple we would be.

we could have the worlds smartest babies. melt steel with their minds. its not worth it to fight.

think of the children

[Initech]

12. They will stop at nothing to remove Obama from office.

But the truth is they got nothing and Benghazi is pure, unaltered bullshit. It's based on nothing but a fabricated conspiracy theory peddled by a bullshit "news" network that has way more power and influence than they should. Fuck Fox, fuck Inhofe, and fuck the tea party terrorists.

[geek tragedy]

13. please please please please please please try it. nt

[Floyd_Gondolli]

14. Wish in one hand

Shit in the other, Jimbo. See which one fills up first.

[WinkyDink]

15. THIS is the result of not pursuing war-crimes against Bush, Cheney, Rummy, etc.

[LondonReign2]

16. Londonreign Suggests Inhofe May Be Douchenozzle

[DCBob]

17. This is the same genius that claims global warming is a lie whenever it snows.

he's an idiot.

[Blue_Tires]

18. How many things have we seen impeachment threats for now?

birth certificate
healthcare reform
climate change science
gun control
that green technology start-up
old light bulbs
drones
and the list goes on...

[magellan]

19. The most egregrious cover-up in American history?

Iraq? Torture? Illegal wiretapping? Bueller?

It's impossible to take these morally bankrupt asshats seriously.

Go ahead and impeach, Inhofe. I have it on good authority that it will distract from the work of Congress (i.e. you won't be able to vote on repealing ACA for the billionth time) and sink con chances for re-election next year.

[avebury]

20. He is such an embarrassment! nt

[Jamaal510]

22. My God who votes for these people?

[hobbit709]

28. In his case a state where not a single county went for Obama.

[Scurrilous]

24. Bring it on!

[demwing]

25. "people may start to use the I-word..." - which one? I have several!

It's indisputable --idiot Inhofe is intensely imbecilic, insists illicit inquisition is incredibly important.

It isn't.

[MiniMe]

26. They have been dreaming of the I-word since before the President was inaugerated

Dream on, it will never happen.

[Generic Other]

27. So every Democratic president is to be impeached

for failing to clean up the messes left by every GOP president. If Obama is impeached, I hope to hell the whole Bush administration comes and testifies and that the impeachment of Obama means the indictment of Rumsfeld, Cheney, Bush, Rice, et al.

[AndyA]

29. Gee, I think if the GOP goes after Obama on Benghazi

that should warrant an investigation into the embassy attacks during the George W. Bush years.

And the failure to protect the country on 9/11.

And the lies Congress and the American people were told to start the wars.

Inhofe, as usual, is dead wrong on Benghazi being "the most serious, the most egregious cover-up in American history..." You just know that Bushco did things that would make almost anything any other President did pale in comparison.

Let the investigations begin!

[n2doc]

32. He's wrong about everything else

So at least he is consistent.

Hey, bozo, call back when you have 60 votes. That's the rule you guys imposed.

[burnodo]

33. OMFG

"“Of all the great cover-ups in history — the Pentagon papers, the Iran-Contra, Wategrate and all the rest of them — this … is going to go down as the most serious, the most egregious cover-up in American history”

That is the craziest thing any Repuke has ever said. And that's saying a LOT!

[demwing]

34. anyone notice that Inhofe mentioned Iran-Contra

as an example of Presidential malfeasance?

I thought the Republican line was that Reagan knew nothing?
