In reply to the discussion: McCain: Obama’s The Problem, Not Ambassador Rice [View all]riderinthestorm
(23,272 posts)27. The persistent attempts to tie the Benghazi Bullshit around Obama's neck makes me think impeachment
plans are being made behind the scenes in Rethug meeting rooms.
There's no other rational reason why they are persisting in this other than they are attempting to rev this up into impeachment proceedings. McCain is determined to derail Obama's second term agenda with the biggest bomb he can throw into the proceedings imho.
It won't succeed - the Senate will never find him guilty - but the proceedings would permanently cripple the Administration's agenda for this second term. That would suit the Rethug power brokers. Not as much as defeating him in the election but destroying any forward progress on Obama's goals would be a powerful second best.
Hope I'm wrong about this.
