#1 Remember the apologists for communism quip that 'if only the right people were in charge' it would have worked. The problem is that there are no 'right' people. It's all about power.

Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. - Lord Acton

#9 This and the IRS affair I believe, while serious, are simply distractions from the Benghazi coverup being offered to confuse the issue.

The Benghazi coverup is the most serious issue - a sitting administration deliberately placing an innocent civilian's life in real danger to cover up their own gross negligence and deliberate refusal to defend our Ambassador for purely political reasons.
And there is a direct link from the event to both the White House and the Secretary of State's office at the time for the coverup.

#10 I dunno. A smart person interested in applying pressure on 'Benghazi' would leverage this and the IRS affair.

"pattern of malfesance"?
