Pretty much all politicians are a bunch of liars trying to save their own skin. Benghazi and Iran/Contra have a lot of similarities. Well intentioned screwup that the administration subsequently lied about. Not an impeachable offense, just poor decision making throughout and the result is a degradation of trust in the oval office to present factual information to the public, especially when those facts might be politically damning.
Respectfully, Iran-Contra was an impeachable offense. It was/is a felony to sell/trade arms with Iran. There are documents that demonstrate Ronald Reagan and GHW Bush knew about the deals and concocted them. http://articles.baltimoresun.com/1992-10-31/news/1992305001_1_weinberger-george-bush-iran I understand Reagan believed the Contras were 'freedom fighters' and that he honestly wanted to defeat the Commies and he was 'well intentioned,' but when Congress passed a law ending support for the Contras because they were slaughtering innocents, Reagan went around them. This was a premeditated crime. Benghazi, from what you guys are posting, has chafed you because after an attack by a foreign band of criminals was carried out Rice was still attributing it to the wrong band of criminals. Not even in the same universe as a felonious weapons transfer to our enemies concocted in the White House.
That is why I have thrown my hands up in frustration with you and jhmd and Issa and the rest of of the witch hunt calling this thing a huge scandal and spending time and money and energy on it. Its not worthy of all this. Even if they really knew and she lied on TV, is that even a crime? It doesn't change the outcome of the event whatsoever.
