Benghazi, the IRS, and the 2012 election
William A. Jacobsen connects some dots: The election of 2012 was tainted by All the President’s Concealers. [ADDENDUM: John Hinderaker at Powerline muses on some related issues. I’m with Hinderaker on this; although we’ll never really know, I don’t think … Continue reading →
Who was minding the DOJ store?
Nobody seems to have been at home at the Department of Justice when the AP subpoenas were issued. Success has many fathers, but failure is an orphan.

One of the many many things that has long puzzled me about the election of Barack Obama is how many terrible elements of his resume had to be ignored in order to like him, trust him, vote for him. A … Continue reading →

I have no idea whether the revelations of the last week or so will end up eroding Obama’s support in any way that matters. But I do know that they appear to have presented him with the worst set of … Continue reading →

I’ve been thinking that the very simplest explanation is that unless the administration was assured of success they weren’t going to try, because the last thing they wanted was a failed mission. And just when I was thinking of writing … Continue reading →
