It's the "cover up". Same thing that took Nixon down.
When the President himself went on national television...even the David Letterman show, and flat out lied about what happened (claiming it was a video that sparked it)...he showed himself.
That's what Nixon did in Watergate. It was the cover up that did him in.
Pres. Obama doesn't have much to worry about. He got past the election before the truth started coming out (because his administration refused to give Congress anything but redacted documents on Benghazi).
But the person who is going to feel heat is Hillary.
The Republicans are going to use this big time in the next election. And you can bet that her statement of "What does it really matter" is going to be played again and again and again.
That is why Benghazi is a big issue. If Obama's team hadn't decided to lie about it in the first place it would indeed be a "non-story". But getting caught in the lie, and then adding in all the shady spy shit that's been going on is all adding up to trouble in the political world.
