Finally MSNBC Covers The Benghazi Scandal

Now that MSNBC has picked up the Benghazi story maybe Joe and Mika can find something more to talk about other than gun control and clever ways to stalk Kelly Ayotte. To her credit Andrea Mitchell manages a modicum objectivity in her interview with Congressman Jason Chaffetz but resorts to the Obama administration's hackneyed talking points about the findings of the seemingly infallible Accountability Review Board which seems to have known when the attack would end and when it would be too late to send help.
In a excellent post, Clinton's Republican Guard at PJ media, Andrew McCarthy shoots down that turkey in a manner that should earn him a cameo appearance on Duck Dynasty.
With each new revelation, what has always been obvious becomes more pronounced: the State Department’s self-proclaimed final word on the Benghazi Massacre, the risibly named “Accountability Review Board” investigation, is a fraud. Yet, like the rest of the Obama administration’s obstructive wagon-circling, the ARB’s report continues serving its intended purpose: to thwart efforts to hold administration officials accountable. Even on Fox News, which has been admirably dogged covering a scandal the Obamedia has done its best to bury, the refrain is heard: How could the ARB report be a whitewash when its investigation was run by such Washington eminences as Ambassador Thomas Pickering and Admiral Michael Mullen?
The answer is simple: Pickering and Mullen were not chosen by accident; then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton tapped them because, to insulate herself, she needed a pair of Beltway careerists held in high esteem by the progressive-friendly Republican establishment. As night follows day, Pickering and Mullen produced exactly the shoddy, politicized report that was expected of them – bleaching away the malfeasance of Clinton, a central figure in the scandal whom they did not even bother to interview.
