the substance of the allegation is about politics playing a role in what rice said on tv, and the election, not what actually took place on sept 11. I mean, some critique of the response but everything I have seen has been about Rice's statement. After those people were dead.

You ask ten different Republicans what the scandal in the Benghazi Scandal is and you're likely to get ten different answers.

Nixon attempted to cover up his own involvement in crimes. There was nothing criminal in anything Obama, Rice, or Clinton did or said regarding Benghazi. Krauthammer is a joke.

Hell, Rice didn't even definitely blame the video. She said it was the best assessment and that the FBI would give us a more definitive answer following an investigation. That's SCANDALOUS?

But in both instances we see an administration pushing a lie to help a re-election.. What is different is that with watergate, the election would have probably turned out different. In this case, it probably wouldn't or shouldn't have been overly influential on the election.. Maybe but probably not.. To me it's becoming obvious that they lied and they spun a story that wouldn't hurt them on the election front.
