In reply to the discussion: I'm shocked! I'm outraged! I can't believe the Patriot Act has been... enacted!? [View all]DallasNE
(7,402 posts)The Patriot Act was extended just a few months ago with little fan fare. The time for outrage was a few months ago when it could have mattered. And that leads to why, all of the sudden, are we seeing a rash of leaks purporting to show scandal when wrongdoing is never uncovered. It has all of the earmarks of Jim DeMint's plan to have Congress not legislate and expose divisions in the Republican ranks and instead focus on Obama scandals. The pattern is clear, first comes a leak with sensational implications and hot debate on Sunday talk followed by the truth showing nothing out of the ordinary has taken place. So far the worst scandal to surface was the doctored emails released by the Republicans on Benghazi to make the Whitehouse look culpable and that has gotten scan attention. Jonathan Karl still has his job. Anybody that can't see through what is going on needs to open their eyes and take a detached look. This is just more of Jim DeMint's plan being carried out and so far he is getting away with it with the help of the media.
