And I Reiterate... (please see prior post)

Benghazi - where the president refused permission to attempt to save the four Americans killed. Then lied about the genesis of and response to the whole terrorist attack. Then got re-elected.

IRS political harassment - where the president's administration allowed (?) directed (?) did not suppress (?) IRS implementation of slow-walking applications for tax-exempt status by conservative organizations that generally want lower taxes and smaller government. Long and intrusive questionnaires caused several of these entities, prior to the presidential election, to close shop out of frustration, legal costs and fear of the IRS. Then the president lied about his knowledge of this behavior (several of these organizations had been publicly complaining about it and reporting it in 2012). Then he got re-elected.

Deep dive into AP news organization telephone records - where the "Justice" Department obtained two months' of telephone records for a very large number of office, home and cell phone numbers or reporters, compromising their ability to provide confidence that sources would not be revealed. But the president says he just heard about this abuse of the First Amendment. But hey, be quiet out there in medialand or you will hear from my AG.
