THE MOUTH OF OBAMA IS FILLED WITH LIES

The Mouth of Sauron Obama has spoken.  How Clintonian.  And yet...

On Monday, Fox News reported at least four officials within the State Department and CIA have retained lawyers to provide sensitive information about the Benghazi attacks to Congress. Several of the whistleblowers claim they have been threatened by unnamed Obama admin officials to not testify.

Victoria Toensing, a former Justice Department official and Republican counsel to the Senate Intelligence Committee, is now representing one of the State Department employees. She told Fox News her client and some of the others, who consider themselves whistle-blowers, have been threatened by unnamed Obama administration officials.

"I'm not talking generally, I'm talking specifically about Benghazi – that people have been threatened," Toensing said in an interview Monday. "And not just the State Department. People have been threatened at the CIA."

The fact that the Obama regime is relying on the most idiotic and childish excuses imaginable - "That was so long ago.  What difference does it make?" - is just further evidence of how corrupt the Establishment Media has become.  The only way this kindergarten-style stonewalling could possibly work is with the full complicity of the lapdog media.  

The regime refuses to talk anymore about it.  Their media allies play along by completely ignoring it and perhaps even ridiculing those who aren't willing to ignore it.  Then they all hope that the issue fades out and never penetrates the consciousness of their horde of low-info voters.  It would be laughable if it weren't for the four dead Americans, a falsely-accused filmmaker languishing in jail and several survivors and whistleblowers who are in hiding or being threatened by the regime.

At Hot Air, Allahpundit wonders why time is an issue.

By "a long time," he means seven and a half months. The Newtown murders happened four and a half months ago; the Aurora murders happened nine and a half months ago. Both were highly germane to goings-on on the Hill last month. Is there a different standard for foreign policy? The first alleged chemical weapons attack in Syria occurred in December, a week or two after Newtown, so maybe Carney's inadvertently previewing O's next big "red line" dodge. Sure, Assad might have gassed some people. But it was a long time ago.

What he really means here by saying it happened "a long time ago" is that hearings have already been held such that any whistleblower who wants to speak to Congress has had plenty of time to do so. Which is nice, but doesn't answer the whispers in the press about diplomats being intimidated into silence; as Erika noted earlier, Darrell Issa is promising "new facts and details that the Obama administration has tried to suppress" at the next hearings, which may or may not relate to suspects in the attack. The book isn't closed on this.

Ace notes that we've suddenly gone from "far too early" for seeking answers on Benghazi, to "far too late." I'm sure that Patricia Smith and Charles Woods don't think that it's time to move along.  Neither does Sharyl Attkisson of CBS News, who has been reporting the story faithfully from the beginning.  It's especially true now, since the internal investigation whitewash that Obama and Clinton have hidden behind is itself being investigated now.
