Could Bengahzi Scandal Exceed The Watergate Scandal?
by Lucinda Friggins, Contributing Author: Wikipedia addressed the Watergate scandal as follow:The Watergate scandal was a major political scandal that occurred in the United States in the 1970s as a result of the June 17, 1972 break-in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate office complex in Washington, D.C., and the Nixon administration's attempted cover-up of its involvement. The term Watergate has come to encompass an array of clandestine and often illegal activities undertaken by members of the Nixon administration. Those activities included "dirty tricks" such as bugging the offices of political opponents and people of whom Nixon or his officials were suspicious. Nixon and his close aides ordered harassment of activist groups and political figures, using the FBI, CIA, and the Internal Revenue Service. The scandal led to the discovery of multiple abuses of power by the Nixon administration, articles of impeachment, and the resignation of Republican Richard Nixon, the President of the United States, on August 9, 1974—the only resignation of a U.S. president to date. The scandal also resulted in the indictment, trial, conviction, and incarceration of 43 people, dozens of whom were Nixon's top administration officials. Now, I ask you, how does the illegal activities by the Obama Administration differ in any way? Four Americans, including a U.S. Ambassador, were killed in Benghazi among all the “dirty tricks and multiple abuses of power” during the Obama reign and still no one has been brought to justice! They differ because the Attorney General, Eric Holder, who has already been found in Contempt of Congress, participated in these activities and many others, so naturally no one will be prosecuted.
We have a government out of control and totally dysfunctional. The Select Committee being developed to more closely review the Benghazi tragedy is already being shot down by the upper echelon in Congress. Is that because they don’t believe there is a cover-up or is it because they fear that the number of indictments handed down as a result of this study could exceed those of the Nixon scandal? After all, no one died in Watergate. No one was ignored and abandoned in Watergate. But on the other hand, the press was not in bed with the administration during Watergate.

Only if it fully gets into the Courts and there's at least a 50/50 chance that will never happen.
