#1 While I would agree, it is too late.

I stated earlier if the November election threw the dems out of office and the Republicans took congress then I might believe that voting still could work.

However, with the Republican leadership already surrendering on Obamacare and pushing legalization I suspect and so far am being proven right that the fix is in. No amount of public outcry will get these bastards out of office. Only an Article V meeting of the states or outright rebellion will.

It was "too late" when he strode past the Greek columns in 2008, possibly even before. Better to concentrate legal actions against his praetorian guard and facilitators.

Clinton was impeached. What did we gain from it ?

#3 Provided the Union survives, can anyone imagine picking up a history book or Kindle in 25 years and learning about the impeachment or colossal failure of the first African American president? It simply will not happen. Champ is a cross we must bear. Our betters have decreed it.

#7 When the Permanent Party decides 'he' should go under the bus rather than 'it', there'll be an impeachment. Not a moment sooner.

#9 there are several people who need to be shamed, ridiculed and prosecuted for lying to Congress and teh American people. Jay "Ballsack" Carney, Mark Morrell, Hildabeast, Susan Rice, Axelrod,....

#10 I fully agree Frank. Champ continues to fall in the polls and court of public opinion. He's dragging the party down with him. No add campaign could possibly provide such a service.

Impeachment proceedings would offer Champ and the dems a convenient distraction. The strategy should be to continue to reveal his corruption and as you say, take legal action against members of his regime.

#12 Here are two words that should be remembered by anyone advocating impechment of Obama. The two words are:

Joe Biden

#13 This might actually be something that would be investigate and the public shown how corrupt the regime is... If we had a free press instead of a propaganda department. Watch this be either studiously ignored, or buried on page17, by the mainstream press and big media.

#14 OldSpook, I figured page 19, below the fold, in small type, but I think we're in agreement in principle. ;^)

I don't quite get the fear of Biden. Yes he's a complete jerk and flaming corrupt liberal; BUT, he has none of Zero's charisma and none of his ability to scare people with the R word. What could/would he do that is worse than Barry's normal crap, especially with a 'pub HoR?

#15 Impeachment is a non-started, It'd be interesting to supeona the lot to appear before Congress, though.

However, considering that the senior leadership in the House and Senate have been silent on this means they're either privy to it via intel briefings, or "the fix is in.

#16 It might be wise to keep the impeachment powder dry. Contrary to the O-Teams narrative Morrell is on record saying the CIA didnt draft the erroneous talking points. Without question Rhodes will be called to testify before congress and asked if he was the author. And regardless of how he answers there will be some very uncomfortable follow ups. Now if Executive Privilege is exercised all bets are off.

#17 Murder. Murder. Murder.

Two former seals. An 8 HOUR fight against an Obama supplied ~~rebels~~ Al Queda, while Obama sat and watched it all go down.

Federal Bureaus converted into Obama Para-Military domestic enforcement units who have already started sighting in Americans these bureaus feel owes Champ money.

This President is a low life Chicago mob rat and needs to have his ass thrown out of office and locked up at Gitmo with the other terrorists.

#18 Contrary to the O-Teams narrative Morrell is on record saying the CIA didn't draft the erroneous talking points.

Could very well be a matter of semantics. Morrell statement may be technically correct, but if John Brennan had a hand in it, the end result was a simple 'cut-out' in terms of reference. Someone married the internet video with events in Benghazi. Who was that someone? While his quite clever and well connected, I doubt it was a lower level functionary like Ben Rhodes.

What was at stake to the regime:

(a.) A disastrous foreign policy event on the eve of an election.

(b.) Compromise of a possible clandestine arms smuggling scheme.

(c.) Compromise of potential US-AQ collaboration.

(d.) Compromise of the 'UBL is dead, GM is alive' regime narrative.

(e.) Potential compromise of the Secretary of State and negative impacts on a 2016 presidential run.

#21 Do not forget that an innocent person spent over a year in jail for a crime he did not commit and a crime that was never committed.

Several ordinary citizens have been prosecuted by the current administration for no other reason than to provide a theatrical prop for Obama's election campaigns.

It can happen to you. It can happen to your neighbor. Unlike other secret police forces, Holder's DOJ is entirely random.

#22 Unfortunately, it appears that the MSM is very uninterested in this story. Watching Carney squirm, however, was kind of entertaining.
