"Transparency" in the Obama Administration looking very dim

OCD_OCD
OCD_OCD: The lies and obfuscation over the Benghazi terrorist attack is under intense scrutiny by members of both parties.

The treatment of the AP personnel phone records and information by the Administration is more than a little questionable in light of the First Amendment and freedom of the press and has Democrats and Republicans up-in-arms.

The IRS abuse and scrutiny of conservative groups seeking non-profit status is also being enjoined by both Democrats and Republicans alike.

The treatment by this Administration of "whistle-blowers" is despicable and needs to be addressed. It is amazing that no one knows anything about anything. Everything happened in a vacuum if you believe what they're putting out. I am amazed, disgusted and at times, horrified by all of this.

Under Holder’s command, the Justice Department has prosecuted more government officials for alleged leaks under the World War I-era Espionage Act than all of the AGs who came before him – combined.



Combined?? INCLUDING BOTH OF THE BUSH Administrations????





Either the ship is sinking, or the media is starting to see the king with no cloths.

First on CNN: Witness protection program lost two former "known or suspected terrorists"
By Jake Tapper, CNN Chief Washington Correspondent

The U.S. Marshal Service has been “unable to locate” two former participants in the federal Witness Security Program “identified as known or suspected terrorists,” states the public summary of an interim Justice Department Inspector General’s report obtained by CNN.

The Marshals have concluded that “one individual was and the other individual was believed to be residing outside of the United States.”

Read the public summary here.

The news comes from an audit of the Witness Security Program by the IG’s office , which states that “the Department did not definitively know how many known or suspected terrorists were admitted into the WITSEC program,” among other “significant issues concerning national security.” The report makes 16 recommendations.

The “Interim Report on the Department of Justice’s Handling of Known or Suspected Terrorists Admitted Into the Federal Witness Security Program” notes that while in the midst of an audit of the WITSEC program, the Inspector General felt the need to notify the Justice Department of national security vulnerabilities, and the IG’s office “developed the interim report to help ensure that the Department promptly and sufficiently addressed the deficiencies we found.”

The news comes in the midst of a week of horrible news for the Obama administration, with revelations that the Justice Department secretly collected months of phone records for reporters and editors at The Associated Press; renewed speculation over the White House’s response to the Benghazi attack; and revelations that the Internal Revenue Service targeted conservative groups.

The Justice Department issued a statement, saying, "The number of former known or suspected terrorists ever admitted into the WitSec Program represents a fraction of one percent of the total WitSec population, and the vast majority were admitted into the program prior to Sept. 11, 2001.

"To date, the FBI has not identified a national security threat tied to the participation of terrorism-linked witnesses in the WitSec program."

Anything built by man will eventually break. To say 'politically', everything is broken, that is surely incorrect. You and I are part of a majority of sane individuals. To believe that 'everyone' is broken and believe that is the norm, I just don't believe that. At this time, yes our government has to a large percentage, has lost it's way. It has lost its way in the past and sane minds took over and we can only 'hope' that the damage done by this administration will not be terminal.

Which one would you agree is the most important issue...

A) When was the last time the AP had been hacked by the government?

B) When was the last time the IRS to go after opposite political beliefs of the 'President" ?

C) When was the last time an Ambassador was murdered, three others killed, many injured and the 'Government' knew about the terrorists but decided not to send help and decided to also cover it up because of a Presidential election?

D) All the above

And if you chose 'D', when and what administration? Don't forget to add on the debts incurred.

Chad_: Remember OCD I told you before the election Obama is going to blame everyone but himself on Libya..........The Navy Seals called the White House for support 2 or 3 days before Sept. 11 and it was denied and they had 2 ships and troops within 45 mins of the Ambassador's compound. (Commander and Chief is only one to deny or ok that order I do believe)

Obama sure is digging a deep hole. Clinton knows alot more than what she is saying to......
Well Obama pretty much pushed George W Bush out of worst President of all time......

OCD_OCD: She thought she was making a topical political joke, but a co-creator of ‘The Daily Show’ managed to enrage many of her followers after tweeting joke about the Oklahoma tornado’s political motivations.

‘This tornado is in Oklahoma so clearly it has been ordered to only target conservatives,’ wrote comedian Lizz Winstead, in a tweet, around 3:30 Monday afternoon.
The tweet was an apparent attempt at using the occasion of the May 20 twister to comment on the scandal currently plaguing the IRS and Obama administration.
