I've had enough of Darrell Issa's phony CYA investigation concerning the death of our ambassador in Libya.
If he wants someone to blame, the felon can look in the mirror.
It's time to call him and his fellow Republicans what they are and hold them to account for what they did. It's time to push back against their October surprise. They want to do this, then we'll do it with facts.
Libya attack: Congressmen casting blame voted to cut diplomatic security budget
Who's to blame for the Sept. 11 attack on the US consulate in Benghazi?
If you believe Republican Congressman Jason Chaffetz, the answer is the State Department.
...
After I wrote a piece earlier this week about the political gain being sought from the deaths of Stevens and three other Americans in Benghazi, a number of diplomatic acquaintances of mine emailed to say I should have looked at the State Department's security budget. Two of them had unprintable things to say about Congress.
Who can be blamed for that? Well, Chaffetz and Issa among others.
Darrel Issa and his anti-Obama Tea Party zealots voted to slash funding for diplomatic security knowing that something like this might happen. Anything, and I mean ANYTHING to undermine Obama's presidency. Any cut to make things work that much less smoothly in government. Right, Tea Party? You said it yourselves, after all.
Prove me wrong, Darrel. Prove your actions weren't exactly what I say they are. Prove you didn't get our ambassador killed with your security cuts. Prove you didn't do it knowing what might happen. And prove your current "investigation" isn't just a CYA cover your ass hackjob that's quickly unraveling.
In other words, go investigate yourself.
