Print John Sexton Follow Read Full Bio Obama Administration's New Benghazi Excuse: We're Idiots A new report by CBS's Sharyl Attkisson presents a new administration fallback on Benghazi. The people who made the decisions now claim they are just "idiots." But that's not what the record shows, at least when it comes to decisions we can examine up close. 17 May 2013 IRS Excuse for Targeting Tea Party Groups Debunked For more than a month, the I.R.S. has been offering an excuse for its targeting of Tea Party groups, claiming it was deluged with new applications. But data shows that excuse is completely false, leading to further questions about what really motivated the added scrutiny and why the I.R.S. has been making this misleading claim. 17 May 2013 Military Readying New Attack Plan for Benghazi With Benghazi once again in the news, the military is gearing up for possible strikes in and around the Libyan city. 16 May 2013 Democrats Once Again Smacked Down on Benghazi Funding Cuts Claim Since the Congressional hearings last year, Democrats and their allies have tried to claim that budget cuts were responsible for the lack of security in Benghazi. According to a review of the facts by Glenn Kessler of the Washington Post published today, those claims are false. 16 May 2013 Gosnell Jurors Speak Out Three of the jurors in the Gosnell trial, including the jury foreman, spoke to the media Wednesday. 16 May 2013 State Department Pushed to Cut Mention of Prior Attacks from Benghazi Talking Points This afternoon the White House released a 100 pages of repetitive emails from September 14th and 15th. The emails confirm that the State Department was deeply concerned about a bullet point highlighting prior attacks in Benghazi. 15 May 2013 Video: Tough Talk at Anti-Koch Brothers Protest Yesterday an organization of LA area unions organized held a rally in downtown Los Angeles to protest the possible purchase of the LA Times by the Koch brothers. 15 May 2013 EPA Targeted Conservatives Too The partisan pattern established by the IRS scandal--conservative groups being singled out for mistreatment--seems to have a corollary at the Environmental Protection Agency. Green groups had FOIA fees routinely waived by the agency while those from conservative groups did not. 14 May 2013 Los Angeles Discovers $42 Million in Overlooked Account The Los Angeles Department of Transportation blamed accounting errors for a newly revealed bank account containing $42.6 million dollars. The account has been growing, unnoticed, for 17 years. 10 May 2013 Bureaucratic Knife Fight or Mutual Ass-Covering? Glenn Kessler at the Washington Post argues that the bad talking points settled on by the administration were the result of a bureaucratic "knife fight." It's largely convincing except for the suggestion any bureaucrat was ever in danger of being knifed. 10 May 2013 Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Next
