Obama Mocks GOP Charges Of A Benghazi ‘Cover-Up’

President Obama in a press conference on Monday shot back at Republicans
trying to create a scandal out of his administration’s handling of the
Benghazi terror attacks last September.
The Benghazi issue resurfaced in recent weeks after Fox News and House
Republicans tried and failed to turn up new evidence of some kind of
administration “cover-up” of its response to the attacks. And an ABC News
report on Friday fanned the flames, purportedly uncovering damning
evidence of the White House and State Department’s role in editing
talking points on the attacks.
None of these efforts have resulted in any new information and when Obama
was asked about it today, he appeared agitated, saying the issue has
already been investigated and Benghazi has turned in to a “political
circus.” The President also noted what a terrible job his administration
is doing if it was trying to cover anything up on Benghazi:
OBAMA: If this was some effort on our part to try to downplay what
had happened or tamp it down — that would be a pretty odd thing that
three days later, we end up putting out all the information that in fact
has now served as the basis for everybody recognizing that this was a
terrorist attack and that it may have included elements that were planned
by extremists inside of Libya.
Who executes some sort of cover-up or effort to tamp things down, for
three days? So the whole thing defies logic and the fact that this keeps
on getting churned out, frankly has a lot to do with political
motivations. We’ve had folks who have challenged Hillary Clinton’s
integrity, Susan Rice’s integrity, Mike Mullen and Tom Pickering’s
integrity. It’s a given that mine gets challenged by these same folks.
they’ve used it for fundraising and frankly, you know, if anybody out
there wants to actually focus on how we make sure something like this
does not happen again? I am happy to get their advice and information and
council.
Watch the entire response in the clip below:
Pickering, a former U.S. ambassador and co-chair of the independent
review board on Benghazi, also criticized those claiming the
administration is engaged in a cover-up. “I think the notion of a quote,
cover up, has all the elements of Pulitzer Prize fiction attached to it,”
he said last week.

If you want to make Knickers shut up and hurriedly change the subject,
ask him how he felt when someone posted his home address.
He's pretty pathetic.
