The Screwtape Letters<\/span><\/b> is a fictional story by C.S. Lewis.\u00a0 These are letters from Demon Screwtape to his nephew, Wormwood, explaining how to undermine faith and promote sin.\u00a0 The letters reveal a secret strategy to distort and mislead.\u00a0 It is becoming obvious that the e-mails from the State Department to the CIA are the modern version, so I will refer to them as \u201cThe Shrewtape Letters<\/span><\/b>.\u201d\u00a0 Use your own imagination to identity the shrew<\/p>\n

They should probably own up to the truth and throw somebody expendable under the bus.\u00a0 But instead they are trying to pretend that black is white and that Benghazi is just about over reach by hysterical republicans.\u00a0 As a result, they are still trying to cover-up the cover-up.\u00a0 Ultimately, the cover-up to cover up the cover-up will do more damage than the cover-up itself.<\/p>\n

Jay Carney is still pretending that the White House and the State Department needed more time to understand who was behind the Benghazi attack:<\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/news\/2013\/may\/8\/white-house-stands-its-benghazi-story-hearing-unfo\/<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I can tell you is that it was the assessment of our intelligence community that the attacks were participated in by extremists,\u201d he told reporters at a regular daily briefing. \u201cThat\u2019s what I\u2019ve said. That\u2019s what Ambassador Rice<\/a> said. She said on that Sunday that extremists were involved. What we didn\u2019t know is what their exact affiliation was.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cAs you know, with regard to this group, there was a claim of responsibility, then there was a disowning of responsibility. So anybody who pretends to have known all the facts instantly is just mistaken,\u201d he continued. \u201cAnd it is always the case that things like this require careful investigation.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

If this is the best they can do, they are in deep trouble.\u00a0 Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Susan Rice and Jay Carney all said this was the result of a disgusting video.\u00a0 That was patently untrue.\u00a0 There was zero evidence that the video caused this problem.\u00a0 They didn\u2019t just suppress the truth; they replaced the truth with a deliberate lie.<\/p>\n

As a side note, there was only one demonstration remotely connected to that video on September 11, 2012, and that was in Cairo.\u00a0 The sympathy demonstrations all over the Middle East occurred after Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama went on their apology tours.\u00a0 One could argue that it was Clinton and Obama who lit the fuse that exploded across the Arab world later that week.<\/p>\n

The State Department and the White House are just digging themselves a deeper hole.\u00a0 They are adding lies and distortions to cover up lies and distortions.\u00a0 The arrogance and stupidity of the Obama administration will keep this story alive.<\/p>\n

The Benghazi story has gone to the next level.\u00a0 ABC ran a report showing 12 revisions to the CIA talking points and e-mails from the State Department requesting those changes.\u00a0 There are also e-mails from the White House to the CIA saying they needed to listen to the State Department.\u00a0 Even MSNBC is reporting on this.<\/p>\n

NBC is reporting that they are getting calls from the State Department trying to discredit Gregory Hicks:<\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.weeklystandard.com\/blogs\/democrats-actively-working-undermine-benghazi-whistleblower_722036.html<\/a><\/p>\n

It is now clear that Republicans have lots of documents from whistle blowers.\u00a0 Some of these documents are classified.\u00a0 We are watching a classic cat and mouse game.\u00a0 Republicans are demanding copies of e-mails that they already have in their possession.\u00a0 But Democrats do not know what the Republicans do and do not have.\u00a0 If they refuse to release them, Republicans will eventually get them through subpoena or disclose them through witness testimony.\u00a0 The administration\u2019s attempt to withhold these documents just increases their value.\u00a0 If they try to change them, they risk being exposed with copies of the originals.\u00a0 The White House and the State Department have walked into a mine field they set for themselves with their sloppy attempt to replace the obvious with the ridiculous.<\/p>\n

Even MSNBC is covering this story and has broached the possibility of impeachment:<\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.mediaite.com\/tv\/msnbc-panel-benghazi-scandal-makes-white-house-look-terrible-possibly-an-impeachment-issue\/<\/a><\/p>\n

The best way to describe this panel is that they think the mean ole nasty Republicans who hate Barack Obama and hate Hillary Clinton just may have the kind of smoking guns necessary to remove Obama from office.\u00a0 This is an astonishing discussion, particularly on MSNBC.\u00a0 If you have any questions about how bad this is for Democrats, watch this video.\u00a0 When your supporters talk like this, you are in big trouble.<\/p>\n

This story is going to escalate slowly, and that is the most dangerous type of story.\u00a0 It is what happened during Watergate.<\/p>\n
