Proof that the Benghazi Investigation is Totally Like No Other...2 Charts..

Think Progress:

Lately, however, those same Republicans have found themselves trying to prove something different: That their intense focus on Benghazi is not primarily driven by a political desire to undermine Clinton. Recently, a number of Republicans have said that targeting Clinton is part of the investigation’s purpose. But others, like House Benghazi Chairman Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC), suggest they’re treating Benghazi like they would any other terrorist attack.

But are they?

An analysis of Congressional attention to previous high-profile terror incidents suggests that significantly more emphasis has been placed on Benghazi than other terrorism acts. The 2013 Boston Marathon bombing, the 2000 attack on the USS Cole, the 1998 embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania, the 1996 Khobar Tower bombing, the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, and even the attacks of September 11, 2001 — all received less Congressional attention than Benghazi in the form of formal hearings and investigations into their respective causes.

The chart below shows the number of congressional committees dedicated to investigating facts about each respective attack. For the purposes of this analysis, committee investigations are defined as efforts that produce written reports.

How many "pundits" today will mention any of that???

The length, the cost, the recorded voluntary admissions, this is a prosecutors dream case for high political crimes.....but there is so much evidence of the true intent of the "Select Committee" that it has come to the point where admitting this plain and proven evil by the mass media would be admitting their own collusion.

All that needs to be done, is what "Think Progress" has done. So, who does the mass media protect?...the truth or the Republicans?

Benghazi or the Stasi

George Herbert Walker Bush the Vice President during the Ronald Reagan administration was under the media radar in this time line.

However, a conjecture, but likely given the opportunity knowing the Bush family tradition to war profiteering, and following in the footsteps of Prescott Bush took the opportunity to profiteer.

Doing business with the Nazi during world war two, as Prescott Bush did, likely now George Herbert Walker Bush left a residual paper trail, loaded with business that could include the German Stasi, a paper trail to exist would destroy the Republican Party.

It is recorded that several high level secret German security personnel in this so called Stasi were arrested and convicted around this time line.

That being the case, high level American military and political people risk being exposed to crimes. Good reason to investigate every inch and redact clear and erase everything connected to Reagan and his bombing war on Libya.

During Reagan’s time line it had to be too much to resist yet dipping into the war profiteering mix likely happened at that time for Poppy Bush. The IRS could tell the story.

Besides they were getting frisky in what American economics now call too big to fail. But treason is a bitch.

Its a natural for George W. Bush to hold the door open on 911 letting the Arabs into the country, while Jeb Bush erased and redacted federal records to expedite the friends and longtime business partners the Bin Laden family to leave American soil in a hurry just after 911.

The key players are the media totally avoiding that very fact the Bin Laden family has been close family and business partners with the Bush family for decades profiteering in oil and military arms enough to ruin the Republican Party.

For Hillary and she is playing it good, Benghazi could very well be a gift that keeps on giving.
