Republicans are calling for Obama’s impeachment over Benghazi, even though those calling for impeachment admit that they have no evidence.
Audio of Sen. Inhofe (R-OK) mentioning Obama impeachment:
Inhofe said, “My point was that we didn’t have to wait until eight or nine months after this was over. We knew at the time that this was a cover up. My fear was that people would forget about it, and of course, that’s why I’ve been kind of rejoicing that they are bringing it up now, even though the networks aren’t not. People need to know how serious this. To me, we may be starting to use the I word before too long.”
Sen. Inhofe said that this is not a short story, and hinted that the Senate could take up impeachment after the 2014 election. He said that the proof of a cover up can be found in the closed door Senate confirmation hearings for Brennan and Clapper.
Mike Huckabee also called for Obama’s impeachment this week. On his radio show, Huckabee said, “I believe that before it’s all over, this president will not fill out his full term. I know that puts me on a limb, but this is not minor. When a president lies to the American people and is part of a cover-up, he cannot continue to govern, and as the facts come out, I think we’re going to see something startling. And before it’s over, I don’t think this president will finish his term unless somehow they can delay it in Congress past the next three and a half years.”
Benghazi marks the 15th time that Republicans have called for Obama’s impeachment. Republicans have called for Obama’s impeachment over his birth certificate, his opposition to extending the Bush tax cuts, immigration reform, the fast and furious, the Boston Bombing, and many other things.
The fact that Inhofe is using closed door private testimony as his evidence of a Benghazi cover up proves that Republicans have zero evidence. Sen. Inhofe has given up looking for document evidence, because none exists.
Republicans were never able to defeat President Obama at the ballot box, so they are trying to drum up a scandal to justify impeaching him. If this all sounds familiar, it should. A House of Representatives led by radical Republicans tried to elevate the Lewinsky affair to an impeachable offense against Bill Clinton. It backfired, and made Clinton more popular with the American people.
Benghazi isn’t a search for truth. It is a desperate political Hail Mary. Republicans seeing the looming possibility of 16 years of Democratic White House control. Benghazi is their desperate attempt to remove Barack Obama, and stop Hillary Clinton from being elected president in 2016.
Back in 2009, Republicans thought they could use Obamacare to win the election in 2012. They couldn’t. Inhofe’s comments made it clear that they are going to try to keep Benghazi alive until 2016, but this too will fail. Instead of worrying about jobs or the economy, Republicans are wasting our tax dollars trumping up a scandal.
If Republicans even think about impeaching Obama, they can probably kiss the 2016, and 2012 elections goodbye.
Republicans are forgetting their own recent history, which is why they are doomed to repeat it.
