John Boehner appeared on Laura Ingraham’s show last week and she asked him about Rand Paul’s question to Hillary Clinton during her testimony on Benghazi about the possibility that the United States was running guns into Syria through the CIA annex in Benghazi, and this is what he had to say:
I’m somewhat familiar with the chatter about this and the fact that these arms were moving toward Turkey but most of what I know about this came from a classified source and really can’t elaborate on it.
He seems to dismiss this possibility by calling it ‘chatter’ but then he goes on to call it a ‘fact’ that weapons were moving toward Turkey. John Boehner is a ruling class elitist career politician who knows how to mince his words to protect himself and I am sure he doesn’t throw the word ‘fact’ around carelessly. He then hid behind the excuse that he couldn’t go any further because it was classified information.
That is interesting because while he would have us believe there is nothing to see here if that were true what is classified? Surely it isn’t classified information that the United States was not running guns, so it must mean there is more to this story than we are being told.
If you read The Ulsterman Report you know it was being reported that the Republicans had a major press conference in the works before the election before it was suddenly canceled, and now it is being reported that the all of the questions were given to Hillary Clinton weeks prior to her testimony for her (and White House) approval and she was allowed to take notes into the testimony so she could remember how she was supposed to answer the questions. (If you watch her testimony you can see her repeatedly look down and it certainly appears as if she was looking at notes.) Perhaps this was the real reason for the delay in her testimony.
And John Boehner does have a history of trying to quell Republican attempts at getting to the truth, he also tried to stall Darrell Issa’s investigation into the Fast and Furious scandal, and that is not all because he also punished conservative politicians after the election by removing them from committee positions while threatening to punish others if they did not fall in line. To top it all off he also decided to negotiate directly with Barack Obama on the fiscal cliff deal rather than with the Republicans he is supposed to lead.
So what the hell is going on with John Boehner? It is my opinion that he has been compromised; Barack Obama has something on him and he is holding it over his head. Barack Obama has a history of this type of political maneuvering which goes all the way back to his first election at the state level in Illinois so I don’t think it is out of the question to wonder if he is doing the same here.
It is interesting to note who John Boehner is willing to work with and who he is not, and it is also interesting to note who Barack Obama is willing to let own assault weapons (drug lords and Muslim extremists) and who he is not (the American people) because it seems as if there is much more to this story–and the others I mentioned–than we are being led to believe.

The D.C. Clothesline 
Nice work Steve. Seems to be further proof of what we already suspect…Boehner can not be trusted. I am seriously worried about these guys rolling over on the gun ban issues just like they rolled over on the Cliff deal.
Thanks Dean, I am also worried about the Republicans rolling over on the assault weapons ban. Boehner cannot be trusted because he has let us down time and time again.
He’s in bed with Obama….maybe literally. But he is a turncoat just like Colin Powell.
Great article, Steve. Thanks for posting it Dean. They had to have had something on John Roberts too.
Thanks Elaine. If they do have something on Roberts then we are in real trouble!
Sounds like they have something on him to keep him in line. A reasonable assumption.
It sure does!
If Mother Theresa had been elected to Congress, she would have been turned to the “Dark Side” by the temptations offered by lobbyists and power-brokers. It is said that power corrupts, total power corrupts completely. They are all complicit in crime at some point during their tenures; they all should be arrested for treason, put on trial, and those found guilty, need to have their ill-gotten riches confiscated and each placed in solitary confinement until Hell freezes over. This same treatment should be applied to all elected and appoint officials and their support staff closely scrutinized for the same betrayal of our Constitution and citizenry.
Since I was never read into any of the operatives’ debriefings, I am free to speculate on the events leading up to the Benghau murders. The CIA were most likely operating resupply of weapons and ammunition out of the sattelite office; our “State Department” personnel felt relatively secure as they would have been considered friendly supporters of the rebel organizations. That is until one branch of the factions demanded access to un-sanctioned weapons, which provided all the provocation necessary to set attack planning in motion. It is not widely shared information, but the ambassador was rumored to have been gay; this accounts for reports of him being sodomized after capture. The other civilians had bounties placed on their heads from activities of prior military service; they were fighting for their lives and they were well aware of it. Government decisions continue to push unwanted individuals into areas of the world where women are not considered equal and people of alternative life-styles evoke nothing but anger and disrespect. Islam, where ever it in control or great influence is the worst of all entities upon which to try multi-cultural experiements. Muslims have a saying, “We may be friendly with non-believers, but we can never be friends.” The Islamic world needs to be taken dead-plain litterally at their words and not interpolated within any contexts of Western cultural beliefs. A great deal more could be said, but it would serve little to no purpose.
Then he should step down as Speaker for the good of the Party and country.
It seems he cowers in front of Obama in an effort to please him, like some kind of lackey. I read another article before the election of Speaker, and Boehner came quite close to losing his spot. Apparently he made some inner-party deals involving promises to “do better” when it came to representing his constituents. I think it was a cry for mercy, but don’t be surprised if there is a move to replace him down the line.
He has been Washington for too long. He is bought and paid for. They have something on him and he will not risk it coming out. Remember all the FBI files that were found in the Clintoon white house?
those idiots will end up having an accident. They are paid off or threatened. They are not going to be left to maybe talk later. Idiots will be thrown under the bus with the rest of us. They deserve it, we don’t
They can’t mention that that is what we are doing because we can’t admit we are helping out the Syrians. Officially, we are not involved. We can not commit any more troops over there. So we are helping but staying out of it.
The corruption in D.C. has become so ‘Run of the mill” that they really don’t even try to hide it anymore. Their arrogance is offensive. The federal government has fallen into disrepair and needs a major overhaul which may require shutting it down and rebuilding it. It is fitting that D.C. is built on a swamp.
