If we do solve the riddle of Benghazi, it may ONLY be because somebody spoke to the Canadian Free Press, presumably at a risk of being imprisoned and silenced if caught.
But if Obama is doing illegal things, and then blackmailing with the threat more or less of political imprisonment anyone who might report on them, he is ALREADY acting as a de facto dictator, and that is categorically NOT how our system is supposed to work.
As an example, anyone wanting to present classified information can do so with Congress in closed door meetings. Further, Congress in turn has a RIGHT to let the public know about things that it needs to know. I don’t know who controls the classification process, but it seems obvious to me that is some sort of Congressional quorum or body sees fit to release information that the Executive wants to keep secret for purely political reasons, it should be able to do so.
Again, I don’t know current law, but that would be a rational system. Issues of national security–and an attempt to install the Muslim Brotherhood in Syria would certainly qualify–CATEGORICALLY do not fall under Executive Privilege.
As far as that goes, why not subpoena Obama to testify on Fast and Furious? We need to start making this arrogant bastard sweat.
Why not hold a hearing on why Iranian born Valerie Jarrett, who has no security clearance, is attending National Security meetings, and negotiating with the Iranians?
And as far as that issue goes, just when does Obama plan to meet with Benjamin Netanyahu. I would think after his Letterman and Leno appearances, handing out candy to kids, and golfing in Hawaii he might have some spare time now.
