The Republicans obviously think that there was some kind of conspiracy/cover-up though they can't seem to actually articulate why or what the motivation is/was and you'd think that by now somebody would've blown the lid off the whole thing, especially since the Republicans run the House and could've done whatever they wanted to do to attack/embarrass the President over it. Why is that a year later, they have been unable to come up with anything more than a series of insinuations? BTW I heard from Media Matters that that guy from 60 minutes had previously shopped his story to Fox News FOX NEWS!!! and they realized that he was only out for money and dropped him like a hot potato, so obviously 60 Minutes wasn't very picky: http://mediamatters.org/blog/2013/10/28/60-minutes-benghazi-eyewitness-asked-fox-news-f/196623

The RWNJs are DESPERATE for anything to attack President Obama over. 60-70 embassy staff died in terror attacks during W's reign of error and I don't recall McCain, Graham, et. al grandstanding over those attacks and threatening to grind government to a halt over them. Rank hypocrisy is what is at the core of all of this IMHO. They need to put up some credible accusation and prove it to us or they need to STFU about it IMHO
