The Most Transparent Administration In History

  We are once again nowhere when it comes to finding out who is responsible for changing the talking points used in Susan Rice’s infamous appearances on Sunday morning talk shows following the murders in Benghazi. After being promised by President Obama that people would be held accountable for what went wrong and that those who committed the acts would be brought to justice there is only one person who has been prosecuted and jailed, and he had nothing to do with the attacks.

  The hearing on “Capitol” hill today went nowhere and likely will not produce anything resembling justice for the dead or the truth for Americans. The stonewalling continued with the former deputy director being allowed to say he ‘believed’ the attack was both a terror attack and protests over the YouTube video. I found his testimony insulting and condescending and as much as I would like to see a select committee investigate the incident I don’t believe there is a snowballs chance in a hot place that it will ever happen because this administration does not want the truth to be revealed.

  While we are on the topic of ‘transparency’ there is still the IRS scandal to be investigated. The recent hearings into the targeting of conservative groups by the federal government are just as likely to produce justice and accountability as the Benghazi hearings did. Lois Lerner has taken the 5^th Amendment right to remain silent and as of today there is no sign of Congress getting to the bottom of this scandal either.

 I believe that the administration does not want to have the truth revealed because it will incriminate them and likely result in impeachment proceedings. I further believe that establishment Republicans, though they may want Obama out of office they don’t want him out bad enough to stop the IRS from harassing Tea Party groups because it is helping them stay in office and get away with their own corrupt practices.

  There is no doubt, and evidence has been shown, that laws were broken by IRS officials. When the story broke the president ‘voiced’ his outrage at the idea that any federal agency would use its power to silence free speech and vowed to find the truth and hold those responsible accountable. To date there has not been one person held accountable and the agency assigned to investigate the IRS, the FBI, still has not spoken to a single member of the groups that were targeted, and as far as I know the FBI director still cannot name the chief investigator assigned to the case.

  Jump back in time a little to the “Fast and Furious” scandal that, according to the White House and the U.S. Attorney General, President Obama knew nothing about. Once again when he did “Learn” about it in the newspaper he was outraged and held a news conference during which he promised to get to the bottom of things and hold whoever was responsible accountable.

  When the congressional hearings into Fast and Furious were starting to connect the dots that were drawing an obvious portrait of Eric Holder the president suddenly invoked “Executive Privilege” which immediately blocked all documents that would incriminate Mr. Holder from congressional investigators.

 Very few if any media outlets raised the fact that if the president and Mr. Holder were telling the truth when they said the president knew nothing about the gun running operation that illegally supplied weapons to Mexican drug cartels then the president could not legally invoke executive privilege in this case.

 When I last checked there was an attempt to have those records declassified under that legality but the judge in the district court was not being co-operative with congressional efforts to move forward on the matter. The only thing that comes close to being justice in this case, where I might add another American was murdered, is that Mr. Holder has been charged with contempt of congress.    

 On top of these scandals there is the matter of the NSA spying on American citizens without a warrant. Once again the stonewalling was and is blatant and there is at least one irrefutable case of perjury that has gone unpunished. Director James Clapper, when asked a direct question as to whether the NSA collected information on the American people unequivocally answered NO. The Congressman who asked the question in a public forum had previously asked the same question of Mr. Clapper in a closed meeting with the same response from him. If a “little person” were to knowingly lie to congress we would be charged, tried and sent away for 5 years on each offense, but Mr. Clapper works for this administration so…..

  The NSA is also guilty of spying on the media without a warrant and when Attorney General Eric Holder was questioned about this illegal action he too lied to congress and he too went unprosecuted for his act of perjury. Congress is just as guilty in the spying cases by refusing to condemn the actions that are a clear violation of the 4^th Amendment. It was not until Congress learned that they were also being spied upon by the NSA that it suddenly became a problem worth being investigating.

 In all these and many other scandals that involve the murdering of American citizens, abuse of power by federal agencies against American citizens, perjury by federal employees and blatant obstruction of investigations and thereby obstruction of justice, there is at least one common denominator; Eric Holder.

 The frustrating things about these and other scandals in this administration and in Congress are that the people responsible for prosecuting the guilty and getting the truth to the American people are Attorney General Eric Holder and Speaker of the House John Boehner.

  Mr. Holder is never going to prosecute anyone in this administration because his motives are the same as this president and his Progressive friends. The current “Justice department” is the most politically driven in our history and is by that definition the most corrupt and least transparent in history.

  The other person responsible for the investigations is Speaker John Boehner, who has shown that he is as corrupt as Mr. Holder by his continued refusal to appoint a select committee to take over the investigation with subpoena and prosecutorial authority. The reason for Boehner’s refusal to appoint a select committee is, in my mind, either because he is a coward, he is himself a Progressive or the NSA has some dirt on him and is holding him hostage.

  I don’t know where to go or what to do about the mess we are in except to say we all need to be on our knees praying that God will intervene and bring justice to the victims of this administrations crimes and that we must inform as many people as possible of the corruption in Washington and get involved in the upcoming elections.

 If what we have now is the “Most Transparent Administration In History” we are in worse shape than I thought. Pray for America like her very existence depends on it because it does.
