Benghazi penalties are bogus
The four officials supposedly out of jobs because of their blunders in the run-up to the deadly Benghazi terror attack remain on the State Department payroll — and will all be back to work soon, The Post has learned.
The highest-ranking official caught up in the scandal, Assistant Secretary of State Eric Boswell, has not “resigned” from government service, as officials said last week. He is just switching desks. And the other three are simply on administrative leave and are expected back.

Would you believe anything this administration tells the American people?
So the media reports something that turns out to not be entirely true, and the administration gets blamed for not telling the truth. Maybe I missed it but I don't recall any official statement from the White House that anyone was fired.

Early retirement with Fed bennies. I'm sure they will survive and do some consulting on the side. no worries.

Republicans are red, democrats are blue, neither of them, gives a flip about you.
More big Socialist Gubment three card Monty. Blame someone else, there's no way the people that were actually responsible will ever fess up - pay them off and shuffle the deck, the average Amerikan is too stupid to notice. Nay, they even voted for it, give them what they want!
I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.

"Some key words were missing from the report: words such as "delusional foreign policy," Barack Obama, Leon Panetta, and, oh what's that other name? You know the one "in charge" of State? The invisible SecState. Dang. I can never recall her name. You know the Whitewater fraudster . . . it'll come to me, I am sure.
I am glad also to report that I won my bet with a former colleague on the Benghazi fiasco. I bet him that nobody would be forced to resign: that would be the price of the truce between Foggy Bottom and Chicago. "You don't fire us Foggy Bottom sorts, and we don't go public with how cretinous a foreign policy you Chicagoans have instituted. Deal? Deal."
The initial reports indicated I might have lost the bet, as supposedly four State officials either were forced to resign or dismissed . . . yeah, right. My colleague called to collect on his bet; I delayed paying as I was skeptical of the initial reports. Then SUDDENLY the truth came out. Nobody had been axed! It was all a three card monte game with no money card on the table.
I will go out further on the limb. Once even the little dust created by the scandal has dissipated, the four bureaucrats asked to take the mini-spear for Chicago will--mark my words--get monetary awards. They will be written up for showing courage and fortitude under difficult circumstances. The senior people will evade all responsibility; ol' whats-her-name will slip out of the building and leave her desk to John "Xmas in Cambodia" Kerry, the dead will be forgotten, the Islamist Morlocks will lick their fingers and get ready for another helping of Eloi.
Remember "we" voted for this, this is what Amerikans want.

Hang on one Manhattan microsecond! WTF does Scooter Libby have to do with what happened in Benghazi? Forgot to fire up the spin machine in advance of your comment?! Got nothing intelligent to add, toss in some corn festooned fecal mater and try to defend it, "they did it too" - HARDLY!!!
