The Republican onslaught at "getting to the bottom" of Benghazi is so hypocritically ridiculous it begs credibility and to indict Susan Rice is theater of the absurd. She CLEARLY observed the rules of no public disclosure of classified intelligence. Susan Rice is guilty of one thing: she is a Democrat nominated to her position by President Obama whom Republicans are simply dying to dust off the old word impeachment to Constitutionally destroy. Their actions are a scandal in and of themselves.
Their intransigence against whatever the president does or whomever the president nominates for high position will ultimately serve one thing and that is to drive them nationally into a more significantly irrelevant party. It is a losing strategy for them. Is there not someone in that party who can entertain rational thought?
What Susan Rice could have done to jeopardize her nomination as Secretary of State was to have revealed classified information which she did not possess. Thank God she did NOT possess it since if she did call it Al Qaeda driven, Republicans would be calling her out for treason. One wonders where they were when the fake mushroom cloud comment of Republican Condoleezza Rice ruled the day, propelled us into the Iraq war based on lies, ultimately cost thousands of lives, and destabilized an entire region we see in colossal upheaval today.
