Hill’s Underlings Mired In Debasing Scandals & Aides Provide Diplo Cover…What’s Underlying The Rot Within? Commentary By Adina Kutnicki

While those who travel in Capitol Hill circles – as well as political power brokers in general – often engage in sleazy and unbecoming conduct, some while on duty, others during their private time, it is verily the case that Obama Inc’s underlings are truly off the hook. So much so, that it is considered “normal” to become mired in drugs, sex and downright criminal-related scandals. And this is not for nothing. 

But to go from there to here one must first take a stroll down the POTUS’s wild side. Indeed, the Hedonist-in-Chief’s “missing time” as Benghazigate unfolded, was nothing short of any dope fiend’s head trip. He has become Washington’s top tier scandal maker –  https://adinakutnicki.com/2013/05/24/whatwho-was-occupying-obamas-missing-time-as-americans-died-in-benghazi-commentary-by-adina-kutnicki/. What a distinction. High as a kite.

Similarly, Hill is hardly the conventional sort, though her dowdy attire is quite embarrassing for those of us who have an appreciation for understated elegance and requisite fashion sense. But never mind her wardrobe disasters…let us meander to one of this blog’s beginnings, as the following is recounted – https://adinakutnicki.com/2012/06/25/six-degrees-of-separation-48-2/ – giving less than six degrees of separation between Hill and her “protege”, Huma Abedin. Not only that, but her/their fingerprints are embedded within Benghazigate, even though Hill has surely lent her muscle to silence all, including those outside, and some inside, the Beltway: keep your hands off Huma. More than strange –https://adinakutnicki.com/2013/05/07/benghazigate-reaches-fever-pitch-whistle-blowers-testifying-hill-huma-once-again-share-the-spotlight-commentary-by-adina-kutnicki/How feasible is it that whatever is being reported, re Hill’s aides, and their attendant cover ups, is barely the tip of the spear?

‘Clinton aides are suspected of criminal cover-ups for diplomats’

Both chambers of Congress and the State Department’s inspector general are examining allegations that senior officials working under Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton may have suppressed investigations into suspected criminal activity among U.S. diplomats abroad — including the alleged solicitation of prostitutes by an ambassador in Europe.

After CBS News reported on the allegations this week, lawmakers from both parties said the charges are “very serious” — and point out the need for a permanent inspector general at the State Department. A deputy inspector general has been active in recent years, but the department’s top watchdog post, tasked with investigating practices at roughly 260 embassies worldwide, has been vacant for more than five years.

A spokesman for office of inspector general said Tuesday that the probe into “allegations of quashing” by State Department higher-ups was triggered by a 2012 office of inspector general review of the department’s Bureau of Diplomatic Security.

That review uncovered complaints by some officials that they were not allowed to thoroughly investigate the allegations of criminal activity. As a result, the office of inspector general has hired independent law enforcement specialists to examine the complaints and the extent to which investigators within the Bureau of Diplomatic Security are being allowed the level of independence required to do their jobs effectively.

In addition to reviewing “eight allegations of criminal misconduct” that arose during the 2012 review, Doug Welty, a spokesman for the office of inspector general, said the office is “also looking into the allegations of quashing.”

Mr. Welty made the remarks as Undersecretary of State Patrick F. Kennedy issued a statement to reporters Tuesday saying he has “never once interfered, nor would I condone interfering, in any investigation.”

Mr. Welty and others at the State Department have declined to comment on the specific allegations related to “quashing.”

But Mr. Kennedy apparently made the statement in response to the CBS News report this week that insinuated that he was involved in suppressing an investigation into the activities of a U.S. ambassador accused of patronizing prostitutes in a public park.

Citing “sources,” CBS News reported that after the accusation surfaced, the ambassador was called to Washington to meet with Mr. Kennedy, but then was permitted to return to his post.

CBS also reported that officials from the State Department’s Bureau of Diplomatic Security told the office of inspector general that they were told to stop investigating the case.

The State Department has vigorously rejected ƒ CBS report. A senior spokeswoman called it “preposterous” to claim the department would not vigorously investigate allegations of criminal misconduct.

Department officials have remained vague, however, about the details of the allegations in question.

As spokeswoman Jennifer Psaki refused Tuesday to confirm or deny whether a U.S. ambassador had been accused of patronizing prostitutes, U.S. Ambassador to Belgium Howard Gutman emailed an abrupt statement to reporters, saying he was “angered and saddened” by “baseless allegations that have appeared in the press.”

“I live on a beautiful park in Brussels that you walk through to get to many locations, and at no point have I ever engaged in any improper activity,” Mr. Gutman said in the statement.

“To watch the four years I have proudly served in Belgium smeared is devastating,” he said.

The ambassador’s denial appeared to represent the first official acknowledgment of the various allegations of criminal activity cited in the CBS News report.

According to the Center For Responsive Politics, Mr. Gutman was a key Obama fundraiser in 2008, bundling at least $775,000 for the president’s campaign and the Inaugural Committee.

A separate allegation was reportedly made against a State Department security official in Beirut accused of sexually assaulting foreign nationals hired as embassy guards. In another, members of Mrs. Clinton’s security detail were accused of regularly pursuing prostitutes while on official trips in foreign countries. Another referenced a suspected illegal narcotics ring tied to State Department contractors at the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad.

When pressed for details Tuesday about the cases and an explanation as to whether Mr. Gutman has been cleared from the allegations made against him, Ms. Psaki responded that “there are some investigations that are still ongoing, some that have been concluded.”

“I’m not going to break down individual cases,” she said, adding that all of the allegations in question were “unsubstantiated.”

One State Department official say that the allegations of criminal activity as well as the allegations of quashing by department higher-ups may have been born out of an anonymous survey given to officials in the Bureau of Diplomatic Security as part of the office of inspector general’s 2012 review of the bureau’s activities. “One of the first things they do is a survey, sent out to employees, contractors, etc.,” the official said. “It’s all confidential and sometimes these issues come up. Then, these same people who filled out the survey have an opportunity to speak to inspectors confidentially and sometimes that’s when the allegations come up.

“Allegations are allegations,” the official added. “Not until they can be substantiated and verified do they become findings.”

The situation is drawing increasing attention, meanwhile, on Capitol Hill, where lawmakers from both sides of the isle have begun expressing concern.

“I am appalled not only at the reported misconduct itself, but at the reported interference in the investigations of the misconduct,” said Rep. Ed Royce, California Republican and chairman of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.

If there was interference by State Department officials in investigations being conducted by the Bureau of Diplomatic Security, it “must be uncovered,” said Mr. Royce, who added that he has asked his staff “to begin an investigation into these allegations.”

In a letter to Secretary of State John F. Kerry, Mr. Royce wrote that “the notion that any or all of these cases would not be investigated thoroughly by the [State] Department is unacceptable.”

A spokesman for Sen. Robert Menendez, New Jersey Democrat and chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said reports that the State Department dropped or influenced investigations into allegations of misconduct “are very serious and require a dispassionate investigation of the facts.”

“The committee is looking into the alleged actions, and this situation underscores the need for an appointment of a permanent inspector general for the Department of State to assure that allegations of this sort are quickly, fully, and appropriately addressed,” the Menendez spokesman said in an email to Politico on Tuesday.

Once again, patriots are faced with a leadership which is far removed from any semblance of trustworthiness. So much so, it would make stables of whores blush. It is for this reason, and so much more, that Obama Inc. must find themselves behind bars.

Faster…faster…

 

BENGHAZIGATE’s NUGGETS: Thinking Outside The Box Leads To The Missing, Most Intrinsic, Piece Of The Indictment…Commentary By Adina Kutnicki

Thinking outside the box requires a certain logical mindset, as well as a relevant knowledge base on the subject at hand. But it also entails being able to withstand verbal tongue lashings from those who prefer to silence the truth seekers, in effect, tarnishing said thinkers with conspiracy laden pejoratives. And while some issues are obvious on their face, and need little edification from outsiders, others are rife with hidden layers. It is these layers which diggers, sifters and hunters are best qualified to unravel, despite the braying wolves at their doors.

So with Benghazigate front and center (including IRSgate & its illegal hammer blows to Conservative and Jewish non-profits; DOJgate via AG Holder’s squelching of the First Amendment, you know that quaint notion of freedom of speech; who can be expected to keep up with this criminal regime…nappy time is SO hard to come by…it will just have to wait!) it is imperative that we separate the “forest from the trees”. In this regard, a few markers are in order to assist the journeyers, and they are in no special listing of significance. They are all equal parts to the missing puzzle.

And as Benghazigate explodes before our eyes it is easy to lose sight of the hidden, core components of said deception, yet doing so may let the criminal suspects off the hook – https://adinakutnicki.com/2013/05/14/benghazigate-about-to-be-blown-wide-open-general-petraeus-has-mega-scores-to-rightfully-settle-commentary-by-adina-kutnicki/. Thus, staying focused, thinking outside the box couldn’t be more mandatory.

Reaching fevered pitch, this blog has its laser sights on one “lady” who seems to escape scrutiny and justice, time and again – https://adinakutnicki.com/2013/05/07/benghazigate-reaches-fever-pitch-whistle-blowers-testifying-hill-huma-once-again-share-the-spotlight-commentary-by-adina-kutnicki/Huma Abedin is one such lucky Muslim Brotherhood diva, but her operative role will come to the fore. Yet harping on Humala was never an exercise in futility nor hyperbole, but a matter of national security, as some of us understand all too well, including Walid Shoebat -‘Did Huma Abedin ‘quietly’ step down as Deputy Chief of Staff in same month Bachmann letter sent to IG?’ – http://shoebat.com/2013/05/17/did-huma-abedin-quietly-step-down-as-deputy-chief-of-staff-in-same-month-bachmann-letter-sent-to-ig/. IF the mobbed up diva is not involved in Benghazigate, and the rest of the Mid East’s attendant fires, well, then pigs surely fly.

Yet the missing survivors are not technically missing, they are hidden from full view –  https://adinakutnicki.com/2013/03/18/benghazigate-directives-keep-your-mouthes-shut-survivors-identities-subject-to-change-an-sos-is-issued-for-admiral-gauotte-commentary-by-adina-kutnicki/ as is an Admiral who knows too much! Patriots, demand their “releases” forthwith.

Nevertheless, despite all of Obama Inc’s deception, yes, their crimes are unraveling stitch by stitch –  https://adinakutnicki.com/2013/02/24/benghazigate-unraveling-stitch-by-stitch-master-weavers-execute-the-unraveling-commentary-by-adina-kutnicki/….and this is where the “nuggets” are hidden and come in.

‘The Benghazi Deception’

By Douglas J. Hagmann – Northeast Intelligence Network

16 May 2013: It is interesting that the corporate media, like sharks attracted to chum in the water, is just now appearing to treat Benghazi as a political scandal similar to Watergate that took down former U.S. President Richard M. Nixon in his second term. While many people see the comparison, I not only see the comparison, but also sense a collusion of a different, more nefarious and less conspicuous type as well.

As the details of Benghazi are beginning to emerge from “whistleblowers” and the murderous events are being rightfully elevated to the proper realm of criminal conspiracy, other scandals have suddenly seemed to erupt, almost as if cued by a complicit choreographer. Most egregious misdeeds of the Internal Revenue Service, for example, that allegedly targeted Conservative groups, from 501(c)3 organizations to any group with Tea party or Constitution in their names, were suddenly “revealed.”

Other scandals of lesser significance, but nonetheless poking at the embers of public ire and intolerance are popping up as well. Watching the people who are reading the multiple news headlines on various news aggregation sites are like watching spectators at Wimbledon, as their heads move from side to side as they follow the ball in play.  The white noise of new problems are constantly erupting, resulting in a feeding frenzy in the waters surrounding the Executive branch.

While fascinating to watch, has anyone stopped to consider that the process of chumming the waters with a flurry of cascading news events, combined with a docu-dump of 100 pages of Benghazi e-mails is actually a methodically orchestrated diversion? What is it we are not supposed to be seeing amid the white noise of new controversies of varying values?Are we being told that we’re aboard the Queen Mary and being directed to look over the port side at the antics of the sharks attracted by the chumming of the waters while we’re actually aboard the RMS Lusitania sailing through the Irish Channel on the afternoon of May 7, 1915? Meanwhile, a torpedo fired from a German U-boat is traveling directly for our starboard side, and is about to take the entire ship down.

Like a levy that has been suspiciously breached, the informational flood created by these news events is without recent precedent. The timing of this flood is of particularly critical importance. The headlines are diverting our attention away from a critical window of investigative value relating to Benghazi. Could it be that we’re seeing a form of force majeure being implemented to overwhelm and distract us from something far more important to truth seekers and consequently, much more lethal to Obama’s second term? Perhaps the Cloward-Piven strategy adapted and modified for the modern news cycles of today?

The Watergate-Benghazi time continuum

It has become common practice to use the Watergate “scandal” as the basis for any controversy involving the President or the White House, having set some arbitrary high-water mark for behavioral tolerance involving a sitting president. Watergate is commonly used to describe an intricate web of criminal deception that took place during former President Richard Nixon’s second term in the White House, and is routinely identified as the cause that brought down Nixon’s presidency.

A critical component of the Watergate investigation involved audio surreptitiously recorded by a little-known audio taping system installed in the Oval Office in early 1971 that captured nearly all utterances by anyone meeting with the president. During the investigation of the Watergate scandal, the recordings pertaining to relevant discussions were the subject of investigative demands and subpoenas by the investigating committee. Submission of the tapes became a bloody battleground between Nixon and the House Select Committee. After months of fighting, the tapes were finally surrendered and an unexplained 18 1/2 minute gap, or totality of gaps, was discovered. Analysis of that effacement determined that it was the result of at least five separate manual erasures, verifying that the missing time memorialized by these tapes was no accident.

Whether its Watergate or Benghazi, there’s one piece of evidence in both of these criminal cover-ups from which the actors involved try to deflect your attention by any means possible. It’s the proverbial garden path plotted by the architects of deception themselves. Following this garden path through the winding turns to its origins will expose that one nugget of information needed to unravel the lies and cover-ups elusive to so many. It is a highly protected secret nestled among other less damning facts, diversions and deceptions.

Benghazi is no exception, but instead provides a textbook example of diversion from the golden nugget hidden inside a crusted shell made to look like all others. So, just what is that particular nugget of criminal naughtiness?

Erasure of evidence: Present day

The nugget that is being hidden here is not content of the memos relating to matters of diplomatic security, but something far more nefarious and elusive by its mere simplicity.   Like the questions that surrounded the mysterious 18 1/2 minute gap in the Watergate tapes forty-years ago, there is a period of missing time that few seem anxious to address. By order of magnitude, however, this missing time is far greater than anything we saw with Watergate. Instead of 18 1/2 minutes of presidential time, it’s nearly 18 1/2 hours of time involving the actions, utterances, commands or lack thereof of Barack Hussein Obama as Americans were being killed a half-world away.

Expose that nugget and I suspect the findings will be far more damaging, far more troubling, and exceedingly more alarming than anyone has begun to imagine. It is this mystical missing period of time where many clues exist. Exactly where was Barack Hussein Obama following his 5:00 meeting in the Oval Office until the next day? Where wasn’t he? It’s almost as if the Wizard of Oz himself waved his magical wand to divert attention away from those lost hours.

Hillary Rodham Clinton’s crystal ball

It’s almost as if Hillary Rodham Clinton’s 2008 campaign commercial relating to the proverbial 3:00 a.m. telephone call was precognitive and eerily accurate. If not answering the calls to save American lives during the darkest hours of the night, could he have perhaps found a glimmer of light from a bad moon rising from which to order the positioning assets and personnel in his capacity as Commander-in-Chief? If not, then did not Hillary Clinton accurately predict the ringing but unanswered phone with crystal-ball like accuracy?

Based on Hillary Rodham Clinton’s unspoken ambitions for a White House bid in 2016, why aren’t partisan mouthpiece sycophants like Media Matters and Think Progress illuminating her prophetic warnings instead of shamelessly working overtime to politicize legitimate questions surrounding the murders in Benghazi? Instead of prepositioning political capital on behalf of Clinton, they are still in full defensive mode to divert all attention away from Obama’s activities taking place under the cover of a shadowy darkness.

Few have demanded, in the form and fashion of Watergate, to know where Obama was during this most critical time in American history, who he was with, and what he was doing – far beyond the snippets we have been provided. Why does the request for specificity for Obama’s activities during this very precise segment of time be shaping up to be some type of “third rail” to the Benghazi cover-up?

We know that the Secret Service, in tandem with the National Security Council perform joint drills for such emergencies such as this. The Secret Service, among others, possess very specific  logs from that night that could provide answers. Why has no one with the authority to do so requested a full accounting of Obama’s location and activities?

Interestingly, Hillary Rodham Clinton’s apparent powers of clairvoyance nearly a half-decade before Benghazi is being ignored rather than celebrated, and questions, much like an incessantly  ringing telephone, are being diverted instead of answered.

The missing 18 1/2 hours

Perhaps it was fate that placed a much younger Hillary Rodham to serve on the staff assembled for the impeachment of former President Nixon. Students of history know that her activities in this position were not themselves without scandal, but that is another issue for another time. Nonetheless, the outrage caused by the infamous 18 1/2 minute gap of audio of conversations between Nixon and others in the Oval Office during a critical time of high level discussions between Nixon and his closest aides was pivotal in the impeachment proceedings.

Presently, Americans are faced with another erasure of time well beyond the 18 1/2 minutes that was a focus of the Watergate investigation. It is exponentially longer and by orders of magnitude much more prescient to the events of that September day. Today, the questions far exceed “what did he know and when did he know it” of the Nixon era, and well into “where was he, where wasn’t he, what was he doing, and who was he with? The former refers to the potential planning of a cover-up while the later refers to a potential cover-up itself. It is a difference with a significant distinction.

With Watergate, we have a deliberate erasure of time that took place long after the primary criminal act occurred. With Benghazi, we have a Commander-in-Chief who while acting in that capacity, fits the very definition of MIA, or missing-in-action. Not AWOL as some have proclaimed, but MIA. A schedule not erased after the fact, but an itinerary deliberately withheld from the purview of us all. The Commander-in-Chief inexplicably went “off the grid” during a time of national and international crisis. He became MIA, but why?

We are often cautioned not to ascribe conspiracy to that which can be attributed  to incompetence. In this case, however, incompetence falls woefully short when a Commander-in-Chief becomes missing in action, especially during a time of such national and international crisis.

It is this golden nugget that is hidden inside a crusted shell that is the subject of diversion. That is the reason an obscure and inane video was initially grabbed from the inventory of ready-made diversions until it could no longer withstand reasonable scrutiny. His MIA status is the reason behind the $70 million public relations expenditure – no, payoff –  by the Department of State to broadcast an apologetic television message across the Middle East.

It is on this issue that we must never lose focus until we are provided answers, wherever and to whomever they might lead.

If you think this matter is trivial, then you are not thinking big enough.

 http://www.homelandsecurityus.com/archives/8388#more-8388

At the end of their circle of lies rests the most intrinsic pillars/questions of all: Where was the Commander-in-Chief as American lives were snuffed out? With whom was he holed up? (and don’t suggest he was in bed with wifey, for even THAT would be a crime…as Commander-in-Chief he was expected to be in the situation room…and if he was in a commanding position, where are those photo ops, you know, the same type of poses taken when he supposedly ordered Bin-Laden to sleep with the fishes) And what was allegedly discussed?

For without said “golden nuggets”, the likelihood of Obama Inc. slithering out of jail/impeachment is a real possibility. And THAT, dear readers, would not only be an American tragedy, but one with cascading reverberations for western civilization as a whole!

BENGHAZIGATE About To Be Blown Wide Open: General Petraeus Has MEGA Scores To (Rightfully) Settle…Commentary By Adina Kutnicki

How many times has this blog used the metaphor, “beat like a dead horse”? ( https://adinakutnicki.com/2012/11/17/the-radicalislamist-in-chief-his-forward-march-towards-a-green-red-tyranny-commentary-by-adina-kutnicki/ …ditto…  https://adinakutnicki.com/2013/02/11/john-brennan-obamas-cia-pick-is-a-muslim-convert-brotherhood-mafias-infiltration-near-complete-commentary-by-adina-kutnicki/). Well, too many times, but it is not for nothing. And when the stakes are so high there is no room to quibble.

Kal v’chomer (as is said in Israel), even more so, when it comes to Benghazigate, the BIGGEST scandal in U.S. history, it is incumbent upon all of us to beat this horse’s essence into the public’s consciousness. No crevice should be left unmolested, so listen to Beck’s clear timeline, but it is not as if this is news herein – http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=j_Oqm6xCCyU#!

In this regard, General Petraeus was front and center at this blog, understanding full well what his ouster entailed. Moreover, the background surrounding his (forced) resignation had much more to do with political payback, than with the hotties caught in his midst. In fact, those who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones, and the diddlers in Washington (some even swing both ways) hardly have a moral leg up on the General. Infidelity aside, to retrace this blog’s steps, re the General’s unceremonious dumping, start herein:

Exhibit Number One – six months ago, the General starred as a centerpiece of this blog – https://adinakutnicki.com/2012/11/27/benghazigates-petraeus-testimony-will-ensnare-the-potus-his-gang-addendum-to-covering-up-benghazigate-exquisite-political-timing-commentary-by-adina-kutnicki/ …and it was “predicted” that he would ultimately ensnare the POTUS in his web of lies. Hmm…

Exhibit Number Two – stage left…as Benghazigate’s hotties entered the mix, not incidentally intertwined with both the General and the attendant political intrigue –  https://adinakutnicki.com/2012/11/18/benghazigates-femme-fatales-not-just-smokin-hot-chicks-addendum-to-covering-up-benghazigate-exquisite-political-timing-commentary-by-adina-kutnicki/ …but pay particular attention to the Lebanese femme fatale…this blog has mega reasons in pointing the readership in her direction.

Exhibit Number Three – do take a look-back into the political timing of throwing the CIA Director under the bus – https://adinakutnicki.com/2012/11/13/covering-up-benghazigate-exquisite-political-timing-sacrificing-a-cia-director-to-boot-commentary-by-adina-kutnicki/… but in retrospect, surely they are kicking themselves for their ill conceived game plan. Every dog(s) has its day…

Exhibit Number Four – is really the first one out of the gate tying in the General to Benghazigate’s downfall –  https://adinakutnicki.com/2012/11/11/benghazigate-theory-revealed-at-this-blog-shored-up-by-lt-col-ralph-peters-overall-theory-leading-to-petraeus-resignation-too-commentary-by-adina-kutnicki/ …but for purposes of clarity, sometimes it is necessary to place the timeline in backwards order, but the readers are more than capable of assessing the damage.

So now that we are up to speed, others in the know are jumping on this blog’s bandwagon. Welcome aboard!

‘General Petraeus To Testify On Benghazi This Week’

Monday, May 13, 2013
 

(Before It’s News)

Yep, I’m going to beat Benghazi Like A Dead Horse.

DeadHorseTheoryamplido

OK,   This article looks like things are going to rock and roll when

General Petraeus Testifies this week. Seems he may have an ax to grind with skippy. I’d like to pull one paragraph out and highlight how Jay Carney answers a reporter’s question. It just amazes me how these people can say so much and not even come close to answering your question..LOL

I’ll run the whole story after the pull out. Am I confusing you? Cause I’m sure as heck confusing myself.           ~ Steve~

OK,  This is reporter’s question.

“Again,” one newly curious reporter asked“what role did the White House play, not just in making but in directing changes that took place to these?”

And this is Carneys response.

“Well,” the carney said, “thank you for that question. The way to look at this, I think, is to start from that week and understand that in the wake of the attacks in Benghazi, an effort was underway to find out what happened, who was responsible. In response to a request from the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence to the CIA, the CIA began a process of developing points that could be used in public by members of Congress, by members of that committee. And that process, as is always the case — again, led by the CIA — involved input from a variety of …”

Enough. You get the point: Full Spin Cycle.

Just what in the hell is he saying? I know he did not answer the question, and seems he threw the C.I.A. under the bus. Now if memory serves who was the director of CIA at time of Benghazi? Hmmmm-

————————————————————————————————”

NOT to be outdone, the Washington Times joined in on the “spin cycle’s” rapid-pace undoing, something which this blog has been hammering from the get go – https://adinakutnicki.com/2013/05/07/benghazigate-reaches-fever-pitch-whistle-blowers-testifying-hill-huma-once-again-share-the-spotlight-commentary-by-adina-kutnicki/

‘Watch out for Petraeus in Benghazi  scandal’

By their second term “inside the bubble,” presidents have completely lost touch with reality: Aides and confidants conspire to keep the chief executive insulated from the real world — the bad news, the worse press coverage. They think it’s their job, and lounging on the Oval Office couches, they nod along with the president’s every musing.

But this presidency has taken OOCS to new heights. Mr. Obama has only a few trusted aides, and occasional leaks from the West Wing show a paranoid president suspicious of nearly everyone around him. Supremely confident, convinced by the fawning minions at his feet that he is untouchable, the president dismisses all controversy as partisan attacks by an overzealous opposition. A pliant press corps of stenographers follows in lockstep.

Not surprisingly, every president in the past 60 years has had a major scandal in Term 2: Dwight Eisenhower had the U-2 “incident”; Richard Nixon had Watergate; Ronald Reagan had Iran-Contra; Bill Clinton had Monica (literally); George W. Bush had Katrina (and let’s not forget those WMDs that never turned up); and now, this president has Benghazi.

Make no mistake: Benghazi is a major scandal. Benghazi is a scandal before, during and after the terrorist attack that left four Americas dead, including an ambassador.

For months before, there were warnings about weak security at the U.S. Consulate in Libya; no one paid attention. During the attack, when Americans were begging for help, the White House ignored their pleas, sent no help.

And after? That’s when the Obama scandal falls into the predictable second-term pattern his predecessors all learned the very hard way. Faced with a crisis, the Obama White House panicked. “We can’t have a terrorist strike two months before Election Day, so … let’s not have a terrorist strike two months before Election Day.” Cue the Cover-Up.

So little is known about what happened in BenghaziWhere was the commander in chief that night? No pictures from the Situation Room this time. Why didn’t the Pentagon authorize a quick-response team to swoop in? Members of the military say they were ready — burning — to go. The call came in: Stand down. Let them die. There were dozens of witnesses to the attack that night: Where are they? What do they know? What really happened that night?

And who forced the heavy-handed redactions of those infamous “talking points,” the ones that sent Mr. Obama’s ambassador to the United Nations onto the Sunday talk shows to declare that the attack was just the culmination of a spontaneous protest over an anti-Islam video posted on YouTube?

Carnival barker Jay Carney looked almost ashen Friday as he took the podium to face a suddenly invigorated press corps. Of course, the public briefing came after a private session with “reporters who matter,” a sure sign the White House is in full hunker-down mode — and, more precisely, terrified.

“Again,” one newly curious reporter asked, “what role did the White House play, not just in making but in directing changes that took place to these?”

“Well,” the carney said, “thank you for that question. The way to look at this, I think, is to start from that week and understand that in the wake of the attacks in Benghazi, an effort was underway to find out what happened, who was responsible.

And that process, as is always the case — again, led by the CIA — involved input from a variety of …”

Enough. You get the point: Full Spin Cycle.

Speaking for the White House, the flack said the CIA was fully to blame for the talking points. Fully. “That is what was generated by the intelligence community, by the CIA,” he said.

“Since April, there have been at least five other attacks against foreign interests in Benghazi by unidentified assailants.” That line was stricken: Everything was fine there — fine fine fine.

And: “We do know that Islamic extremists with ties to Al Qaeda participated in the attack.” That line, too, was deleted by … someone. Instead, this was inserted: “There are indications that extremists participated in the violent demonstrations.”

Despite protestations by the White House, this scandal is just beginning. And the White House has picked a very bad scapegoat: the Central Intelligence Agency. The CIA follows RFK’s edict: “Don’t get mad, get even.” And when the CIA gets even, it isn’t pretty.

With the White House putting all blame on the agency, expect push back this week — nuclear push back. Gen. David H. Petraeus, the former director forced to resign after a sex scandal, is a dangerous man to the Obama administration. Mad and intent on getting even, he’s already talking, telling one reporter the talking points were “useless” and that he preferred not to use them at all. The floodgates will open this week, and by the end of business Friday, the scandal will be full blown.

A warning to those West Wing sycophants suffering from acute OOCS: Don’t walk down any dark alleys.

As many of this blog’s dedicated readership already recognize, there is an affinity, as well as an appreciation, herein for those who shoot straight and take no prisoners, in the metaphorical sense. But this does not obviate a similar penchant for a literal interpretation; those who gun for the west should NEVER be left in an upright position, to live to harm us another day. And it is for this reason why the (politically-infused) smackdown to Petraeus must be rectified. Most significantly, if the good General helps to bring down Obama Inc., a criminal-bent regime, it will be a most auspicious outcome. 

Waiting in anticipation….with bated breath…payback IS a bitch!
