Rep. Pete King: Wrong to go after the Hildebeast over Benghazi.
[Wash Times] Rep. Peter King, New York Republican, said Friday there are many unanswered questions surrounding the Sept. 11, 2012 terrorist attack on Benghazi, but that to make it a political attack on former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is "wrong."
Hey Pete, we're just kicking the tires, and they're all flat.
"To me, there are major questions here as to why more action was not taken to provide security beforehand, and also when was this decision made, and why was it was made, in the immediate aftermath of the attacks, to say it was caused by a video when nothing on the ground was saying that?" Mr. King, a member of the House Intelligence Committee, said on CNN.
Pete King and Mike Rogers, living proof the 'HPSCI' is an oxymoronic acronym. Sort of like 'New York Republican' if you get my drift.
Mr. King said officials in the CIA, the White House and State Department were coming up with what "appears to be, I believe, a cover story after the fact."
Mind like a steel trap, that Pete King, but he knows when to put down insurance.

#1 Mr. King said officials in the CIA, the White House and State Department were coming up with what "appears to be, I believe, a cover story after the fact."
I think that's exactly correct. And King's on the Intelligence committee, so he probably knows but cannot say more.
But the political issue is 'Are the people who needed to come up with a cover story AFTER the action, and could come up with nothing better than this, competent to be in charge?

#2 Note this Beltway Bandit asks "why" and "when" but not WHO.

Mutual ass covering by the elite. Disgusting, dispicable, duplicitous, etc.
