Jay Carney doesn’t want to get bogged down in the facts about Benghazi

Font Size:

We’re way past the point in the Benghazi debacle and coverup where there’s any question whether the Obama administration has lied about it. They have, and they continue to do so.

We also know that they don’t care, now that Obama has been dragged across the finish line. That’s why it’s actually kind of refreshing when Jay Carney just comes right out and says it.

“What the president is worried about, Major, is what happened and why in Benghazi. He is not particularly concerned about whether the ambassador or I went out and talked about the fact that we believed extremists might have been responsible. And whether we named them as al Qaeda or not does not–no, it certainly doesn’t have any bearing on what happened and who was responsible as that investigation was continuing on Benghazi.”

So what if they lied, and then lied about the lies, and then lied about those lies, ad infinitum? The important thing is to find out what really happened in Benghazi, which they are doing absolutely everything in their power to prevent.

And what are you gonna do about it? Nothing, that’s what. Obama won, so shut up. When the president does it, that means that it is not illegal.
