My predictions about the Select Committee to Investigate Benghazi (bookmarking for later)

[Proud Liberal Dem]

1. No matter what or how much facts/evidence are presented that appear to address their questions and concerns, Republicans will continue to ad nauseum repeat all of their "talking points" (heh) and persist in accusing the Obama Administration of perpetrating/covering up some kind of official misconduct. In short, nothing will satisfy their questions and/or concerns.

2. This is headed for an impeachment tribunal sooner or later. Republicans don't want to talk about anything other than Benghazi and in order to keep their perpetually "base" frothy and fired up between now and November (and beyond), they simply won't have any choice but to push for impeachment at some point- regardless of whether they believe that the Senate would convict President Obama (which it wouldn't even if controlled by Republicans next January). Even though they know it was a disaster for them in 1998 when they went after Clinton (and this is after Clinton actually DID "something" even if it wasn't IMHO a truly impeachable offense), they haven't restrained themselves so far when it comes to fighting President Obama and impeachment of him has been a back-burner goal of theirs since Barack Obama took office in 2009 and many of them really think that they've finally got something with an impeachable offense to pin on him with Benghazi. Even if it is non-starter in the Senate, they know that it will tarnish the Obama Administration and Hillary in advance of the 2016 Presidential elections. Of course, it won't really matter to them that most people won't really care about this (I've been paying attention and couldn't explain the "scandal" if my life depended on it) but they have deluded themselves into believing that there are no other topics more important to the country than what happened in Benghazi and/or they simply have nothing else they want to talk about, which they don't.

Feel free to add any of your own...........

1. The really scary Caveat is

the Rethugs using the Roberts Court to prevail their desires. As you say and I have said since the day after the 2008 elections,impeachment was on the table for the Rethug Party,never a doubt. As far as the Senate,wouldn't count your chickens on that. We have a number of fence rider Dems. With the upcoming IRS monkey hearings coming,thinking all the Rethug Ads are looking,see see this Kenyan in the White House is so corrupt we got to impeach him. IRS,Benghazi and Ukraine,BLM over reach got to Impeach him. The Reich Wing Bloggisphire is really cranking out this shit big time.

Stay Tuned,going to be quite a ride.

2. I don't think that any Dems- even some of the Blue Dogs- will touch this

absent any discovery of ACTUAL wrongdoing (which for the record I don't believe will ever be discovered), especially since there have been no Dems AFAIK whom have supported the Republican scandalmongering on this (or anything, really). Are there more "dead-end" IRS investigation(s) coming as well?

3. All the fake scandals were like dress rehearsals for Republicans to pick from for

impeachment, and they figured Bengazhi was the best.....Obama having no scandals has driven them to this desperation, the prospect of losing the mad enthusiasm of the tea bagged crowd demands nothing less.....but what to do if this all stirs up the non-voting poor and youth?
