On Benghazi-Gate

For more than 10 years of my working life I was involved with a group which investigated internal dishonesty in a large retail setting.  Part of our job was interviewing (interrogating) people suspected of stealing from our company.  Our team of investigators was trained in the Wicklander/Zulawski method of interrogation and most of us were very good at our job.  As you can imagine, we were no strangers to having people lie directly to our faces--just look us directly in the eye and lie to us no matter what we said and no matter what damning evidence we had on them.  All these people had one thing in common:  they did not want to sit around talking to us.  They just wanted to avoid the issue and get the hell out of our office.  Some literally ran out of the office and out of the building (to no avail).  Most of them stayed to talk but all of them just went about lying, obfuscating, and shading the truth.  Almost always we were able to get them to come around to the truth, confess, and write a detailed statement and sign a promissory note.  

BUT.......

Every once in a while--very rarely--we would err and accidentally begin an interview on an honestly innocent employee.  That was our worst nightmare and when it did happen--when we realized in the interview that we had the wrong guy--we needed to "back out" of the interview in such a way that we could return the person to work without dire consequences for us or the company.  These people also all had one thing in common:  they did not want to leave the office.  They wanted to go to the end of the earth to convince us and prove to us that we were wrong and that they were completely and totally innocent and honest folk. They wanted us to believe in them.

So, to those who support President Obama and Hilary completely and blindly regarding Benghazi-Gate:  had the Administration done nothing wrong before, during, and after the September 11, 2012 terrorist attack on our Consulate they would be out every day shouting the truth from rooftops until everyone believed in them instead of saying things like, "That was a long time ago," and, "What difference does it make?"  

The cover-up is always worse.
