It’s almost like there was a rush to judgment/coverup.
Via CNS News:
On the night of Sept. 11, 2012 — before former Navy SEALs Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty were killed by a terrorist mortar strike — Secretary of State Hillary Clinton released a public statement linking the attack against the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, with an anti-Muslim video, which she referred to as “inflammatory material posted on the Internet.”
Clinton’s statement, still posted on State’s website, is dated Sept. 11, 2012, and headlined: “Statement on the Attack in Benghazi.” [...]
However, the Associated Press first published a story quoting Clinton’s statement at 10:58 p.m. Eastern time on Sept. 11.
The AP released a story that night datelined Cairo, written by Maggie Michael and Sarah El Deeb, and carrying the headline, “American killed in Libya protest over film.” The story noted that Clinton had confirmed that “one State Department officer had been killed in the protest at the U.S. consulate in Benghazi.” It also quoted directly from Clinton’s statement: “Some have sought to justify this vicious behavior as a response to inflammatory material posted on the Internet.”
The Associated Press’ Media Relations office confirmed to me that the AP first published its version of this story quoting Clinton’s statement at 10:58 p.m. Eastern time on Sept. 11.
A CIA timeline of the Benghazi events provided by a senior U.S. intelligence official, the Senate Homeland Security Committee’s report on Benghazi and the State Department’s own Accountability Review Board Report all indicate that Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty were killed at the U.S. “Annex” in Benghazi sometime between about 5:14 a.m. and 5:26 a.m. Benghazi time on Sept. 12. That would be between 11:14 p.m. and 11:26 p.m. on Sept. 11 in Washington, D.C. — or at least 16 minutes after the AP reported Clinton’s statement.

Nope, Youssef still sitting in jail on trumped up charges.

Time was when wrong was wrong, be it Dem Or Pub. Moral outrage over sin was shared.
Post Bill Clinton it seems this has changed. Now party affiliation trumps the deed for these amoral reprobates.
Richard Nixon had to go because Republicans could not stand his deceitful behavior. Those days are gone.
"We" as a Nation can no longer count on a shared outrage for "their" moral failure. They now circle the wagons to conceal and deny their dirty deeds without any curiosity from the Press.
Serial adulterers and Killer Kennedy clan, KKK Byrd, prostition ring Fwank. The left has never been held accountable. The situation ethics that is liberalsim is and will always be. It's just out in the open now mocking the right.

Obama is impeach-proof because of Clinton and the false charge of RACISM. He can do anything he wants and get away with it.
At the same time there are some many members on the Hill that have co-opted their own ethics that they have no moral ground to stand upon. They know the whole house of cards is going to fall. They are padding their wallets while they can before everything collapses.
Obama breached the War Powers Act and no one cared. When Leon Panetta told Senator Sessions that the UN has the approval criteria for military intervention in Syria or Libya and that Congressional approval is no longer necessary, Obama crossed a line that no other president had dared to cross. Nothing happened. No one cared. If Obama does something that is illegal, no one notices. It's all an absurd game that means nothing.
We have a tyrant in the White House. But too many people do not know what tyranny is because they are playing the game for their own benefit while they still can.
Orthodoxy SUCKS.
