THE capital is in the throes of déjà vu and preview as it plunges back into Clinton Rules, defined by a presidential aide on the hit ABC show “Scandal” as damage control that goes like this: “It’s not true, it’s not true, it’s not true, it’s old news.
Or the updated version -
It was a YouTube video, it was a YouTube video, it was a YouTube video, What difference at this point does it make?”
Even the Gray Lady is noticing there might be a problem.
With Gates going on the Sunday shows to argue that the military response, or actually lack of it, would have happened on his watch (for cogent reasons) that actually sharpens the story a bit. The shameless spinning (and willingness to walk away from a candid assessment of what happened) and subsequent cover-up of the decisions taken leading up to the attack are the story that matters in the long run - that and accountability for those decisions. I think if the Secretary of State was anyone other than Ms. Clinton, they'd have been tossed under the bus by now.
Me, I'm not looking for an impeachable President. I'd much rather start making bureaucrats feel the heat of accountability, than suffer watching President Biden posturing himself for 2016.
And let's not get started on the IRS. I'm sure they'll find some low-level flunkies to fire and some retired/safely departed senior people to blame.
