New Shoes Drop

Just as the public is beginning to see the Benghazi! BENGHAZI!! frenzy as a transparent attempt to preempt a run by Secretary Hillary Clinton in 2016, the Obama Administration can't seem to stop stepping on its own shoelaces.  The story of the IRS "targeting" tea party and other right-wing outfits for review who received tax exemptions under the IRS code, coupled with the breaking story of the Associated Press' phone records being examined in an investigation of Executive Branch national security leaks, are sadly giving new legs to the wingnut scandal-mongers.  Talk about self-inflicted wounds.

The President and Dems can't afford to let the Rethugs and their front groups spin the narrative for political purposes.  They need to do thorough and independent investigations of what happened and if wrongdoing was committed, hold those responsible to account.
