1. There comes a point where pointing out GOP hypocrisy and lies is just beating a head against a wall. There is no shame left when it comes to hypocrisy. Take the "Trump lawyer allowed at investigative meeting" nightmare. During 9th Benghazi investigation (4th year of them)...
2...GOP Congressfolk refused to release witness testimony, first falsely claiming it was classified. Meanwhile, they ran onto Fox to falsely state what was relayed in the testimony. When it was knocked down that it was classified, GOP said they would not release any testimony...
3...despite the pleas of witnesses who said they were being slandered by false representations by those SAME GOPrs on Fox of what they said. GOP said, no, they couldn't release the testimony (and have refused to till this day for reasons I will discuss below)....
4...saying they did not want witnesses - particularly Hillary Clinton - to know what others said so they could not adjust their testimony. Then she had her 11 hours of testimony. Now, Trump is in office, so all the rules change. They allow Trump's LAWYER to sit in on meetings...
5...of Congressional investigators. Lawyer is obligated under professional ethics rules to use any information he learned not only in dealing with Congressional investigations, but Mueller case as well. Trump has received Nunes heads-ups. Despite putting Hillary through....
6...11 hours fo sworn testimony, they proclaim that even an hour of unsworn interview by Mueller of Trump is too much. Government is no longer government. It is politics - playing to Fox News. A Benghazi investigation was necessary - but not 10 of them, designed to keep the....
7...topic in the news for 4 years after the attack. It was the longest congressional investigation in American history - longer than Pearl Harbor inquiry, 9/11 inquiry, anything. They did not care about what they found, thus the lies on Fox by members of Congress that no planes..
8...or military was sent on a rescue mission (they were, but closest was far away, so before they arrived, the attack was over.) There was no Hillary standdown order, which Fox News viewers were told there was. The idea that a Secretary of State had the power to order a....
9...military stand down was ridiculous. Any member of government knows this. But there is no reason Fox viewers should, particularly when members of Congress were knowingly lying, cynically using the death of four brave Americans in hope of being able to seize power....
10...so they could pass tax cuts and deregulation, so their friends could get richer and pay them more money in campaign contributions. Now, everything is obj - unprecedented access for the president (and lies again disputing reality) to Congressional investigations, while....
11...ridiculous coverup papers that ignore the fact that they refused to subpoena key witnesses and refused to require testimony before proclaiming "all clear" are issued and hyped on Fox News. Republicans have become obsessed not only with party, but many of their voters....
12...believe, after twenty years of drinking the poison of Fox News, that their job is to anger and hurt people who disagree with them. So, we have lost government. It is all a show. There are no consistent standards. We have to accept: GOP has no shame about lies and hypocrisy.
13...now, why would the GOP not release the Benghazi testimony? I know why...because I have seen it. These people did not give a damn about the Benghazi attack. Hours and hours of testimony was only questions about which reporters witnesses had spoken to, ever, about...
14...anything. One Congressman, after two hours of questioning, was told by the lawyer of a witness that he had not yet asked a single question about Benghazi, but only about news reports that made republicans look bad. The testimonies also proved - beyond doubt - that these...
15...Republicans told bold-faced lies on Fox when they related what witnesses had purportedly said in testimony they refused to show anyone. If it was released, they would have proven to everyone but the irrational that this was all politics, that they lied publicly, and that...
16...they only cared about the people who died in Benghazi as political props. It was shameful and disgusting. And the MINUTE a Democratic House comes in place - whether this year or in the future - I will immediately request the Benghazi testimonies that witnesses have begged...
17...to be released. I already know what they say. I wrote about it. But I think if Republicans can feel no shame about lying and hypocrisy, at least the evidence of what they do should be shown to the public.
18...and if you want to know about Benghazi - what the reports ACTUALLY say, what some of the testimony was, read this piece I wrote long ago. newsweek.com/benghazi-biops…
