ISSA-GATE? SCANDALGATE? (what should we call it?)

Last edited Sat May 18, 2013, 05:39 PM - Edit history (1)

1. Is altering the emails not a crime?

2. Is manufacturing a scandal to bring down a president not a crime?

3. Is refusing to provide the funding needed to protect our diplomats not a crime, or at least, a major dereliction? (which funding was urgently requested by then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton)

WELL????

Had covered it up. The whistle blowers was going to blow up Obama administration and impeachment proceedings would be in order. Again as in the debates Obama has allowed the spin to continue on the rw and after allowing them to embarrass themselves Obama does something like "Please proceed". How many more times does the Democrats think they can get away with this.
I hope for a very long time.

This could be another "please proceed" moment, this time invovling the whole Republican Party.

They don't know when to stop.

They're just SOOOO filled with hate.

Watergate was not the first US scandal nor the biggest, but adding 'gate' to any story with the slightest bit of scandal attached is now supposed to somehow elevate the importance.
