I get that the Obama administration candy coated the initial response to it since it was an election year, but politicians do that all the time. Doesn't excuse it, but doesn't make it grounds for impeachment. All the investigations haven't turned up anything all that damning, so I'm confused why Republicans are so hell bent on this issue. I know part of it is an attempt to damage Hillary Clinton and her possible Presidential run in 2016, but the rest of it just seems like a colossal waste of time and resources. It was a tragedy, and one that probably could have been avoided, but the ongoing witch hunt is a bit much.

I think the problem is inaction, despite direct request for help and more security followed up with "it was a video, blame the video" and not terrorism.

you know me, i'm on the opposite side of the political spectrum from you in just about everything that we can come up with, but this was a mistake. plain and simple. People died and it sucks, but it was a management mistake, not a terrible conspiracy.

I think there's something to the email coverup that they knew it was more than just a protest over a video, but they're politicians, they can't have a terrorist attack 2 months before elections, and as much as i don't agree with it, I understand it.

I'm much more bothered by the IRS stuff than this.
