Benghazi two step again. A headline, in this day and age of massive amounts of data out there, cannot be taken back. Nobody will ever hear the retraction. The GOP know this. So should the NY Times. Especially if it has anything to do with Benghazi. One thing all these leaks do tell us...if you add them all up, the GOP have got nothing on Hillary. But the GOP will stir the pot. And make it 'feel' like there is something she is hiding. And that feeling can feel surer than sure if psychopaths are involved in spreading the meme. You may feel more sure of the 'feeling that Hillary is hiding something' than you have ever felt about anything else in your life. That is how psychopaths get people to act on their behalf. That surer than ever sure feeling. In this day and age of the GOP using all the tools of the psychopath be wary of anything compelling.
