So tomorrow is the day of testimony for the 3 State Dept whistleblowers concerning what really happened Sept 11 2012.
Thoughts as to what will be said, what will be uncovered, what will actually be done?
It will get little to no press coverage, absolutely NOTHING will happen to those responsible, and the majority of the populace will continue to ignore it.

The solution to all violent criminal acts.
I hope it gets choppy, having seen the admins reaction and defensiveness about it already I hope these guys/gals rip their bullshit to shreds.
The problems usually are the result of the cover-up. The government has been far from truthful on Benghazi. Let's hope the truth wins out.

Unfortunatly not a damn thing will be done. If anything more then a public announcement with a form apology letter
will surprise me a great deal [Mad][Rant1][Bang]
I am guessing press coverage will not be an issue. Spin may be another story though.

So assuming nothing happens tomorrow and no ones held responsible, what will be the tipping point when people say enough is enough and act on it? I wager that never happens and freedom is slowly lost.

Agreed. If it was Bush, or anyone else, they would hang them out to dry. But the press is like a Obama's little puppet. They do what he wants and he can never do wrong.

Too little too late. They don't get away with getting that fraud reelected and then change sides when the going gets tough.
The candy crowleys of the world will not be forgotten.
There will be a huge circus of a trial, things will be uncovered that will make Watergate look like a boy scout meeting, and yet another president will go on national TV and say "I shall resign the presidency, effective noon tomorrow..." Congress will vacate Obama's nomination for reelection, Mitt Romney will be sworn in as President and the economy gets back on track before 2018.
Oh wait, you were asking what you think will actually happen, not what should happen? In that case, nothing... nothing at all. Fox News will the only "media" outlet to report anything on what happens. [Bang]

I agree... After all Hillary is our next President, she can't do anything wrong, let alone be incompetent

If that happens I'm moving to South America. I'd rather take my chances with the cartels than with the dems. ;)
We will get President Biden . . . who is TWICE as bad as Obama.

Well, we saw the traction that Fast & Furious got. That should have resulted in jail terms. Not expecting anything more here. Until the bulk of the print and TV media cover the story, there will be no public outrage and nothing will be done.

This will go a whole lot of nowhere.
We do not have anyone in congress with enough love of country, intestinal fortitude, character, honesty or integrity to ask the right questions or follow up on whatever comes out.

Oh I think we do, Rand Paul for example. I just don't think the folks he'd be asking the questions to and those responsible for action in response to the answers, have any intellectual or moral capacity to do what is right. They're not motivated enough because we the people aren't holding their feet to a big enough fire, nor is the media.

they will all be part of a horrible traffic accident on the way to testify ...or drone strike.
No one is accountable for shit anymore. It really pisses me off. Obama, Holder, Clinton, take your pick, anyone in this administration could beat someone to death and the MSM would cover it up and nothing would happen. If it were me in charge of all this Clinton would rot in a cell, Holder would be buried UNDER the prison for FNF, and Obama would be picking what kind of rope his noose is made out of. Rice is just a patsy, so I'd suggest at least a couple years behind bars for accessory after the fact. Nixon resigned over Watergate, the difference there is that no one died. [Mad]

Huckabee might be on to something, but with the way our media and complicit fellow Americans (read: Democraps) are, I think this is a pipe dream at best (although I would hope for the best- this could potentially ruin the Democratic party for the 2014 mid-terms):
“I believe that before it’s all over, this president will not fill out his full term. I know that puts me on a limb. But this is not minor. It wasn’t minor when Richard Nixon lied to the American people and worked with those in his administration to cover-up what really happened in Watergate. But, I remind you — as bad as Watergate was, because it broke the trust between the president and the people, no one died. This is more serious because four Americans did in fact die.”

One can only hope Huckabee is right...unless Biden fills the roll, then we're possibly worse off than now. Talk about a puppet.

Ruining the Dem run in the next election is worthless if the Republicans still cant field a decent candidate.

Also very true! What a joke last year. [Bang]

Who was sworn in as POTUS after Nixon resigned.... [Sofa] Unless they find out he was involved too and they're both forced to resign... then we have Blubbering Boehner running the country. That may or may not be worse though.

Yep, sadly this is true. I think their best shot is one of the Young Guns like Rubio, Cruz or Rand! But what do I know, my 10 year old dog could probably run the Republican party better than what we've seen in recent years.

No offense, but if by fielding a decent republican candidate means one that the dems/MSM approve of, then don't hold your breath.
We're basically waiting for a miracle person that is fiscally knowledgeable and incorruptible, has no skeletons in the closet, and will be able to single handedly defeat a mainstream media empire that cheats and lies every flipping day.

Rand Paul. Nuff said. [Beer]
But I wouldn't want to vote for someone the MSM and Dems approve of... they're probably a closet dem that wants to repeal the 2nd and increase the size of welfare.

Yeah sure. Look for the Clinton -lickmypooper ticket in 2016
Unless the people take back government then we will continue to deteriorate as a country until we are all peons.
They should craft the open carry rally around the results of this hearing.

the "media" is too busy with the sexy scandals of the slut who killed her boyfriend and the 3 sex slaves kept in a bus drivers basement for 10 years.

Nothing about the testimony made it into any of my RSS feeds today - and not in any of my headlines on yahoo or google.
http://nbcpolitics.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/05/08/18125433-diplomats-criticize-benghazi-response-in-gop-led-probe
The testimony included new details from Gregory Hicks, a career foreign service officer who served as the deputy chief of mission in Libya at the time of the attacks.
He painstakingly recounted frenetic efforts to communicate between besieged individuals in Benghazi, and the governments of Libya and the United States. And he relayed the frustration of special forces who were told to stand down in Tripoli – Hicks said he did not know who gave the order – from deploying to Benghazi.
“They were furious,” Hicks told lawmakers on Capitol Hill. “I will quote Lt. Col. Gibson. He said, ‘This is the first time in my career that a diplomat has more balls than somebody in the military.’”

"As new information is finally starting to leak out about what really happened in Benghazi on that fateful night of September 11, 2012, NOTHING is more telling than this one single photograph…for this photograph proves that Ambassador Christopher Stevens did NOT die of smoke inhalation in the embassy compound as was claimed by the Obama administration, but was taken alive, raped, sodomized, and God only knows what else…and Barack HUSSEIN Obama, Hillary Clinton, and all those in their vile orbit knew this from day one and all bold-faced lied."
Lot of conjecture in there. Also the guy ought to realize if he wants to be taken seriously stop capitalizing every other word, especially Hussein.

Did you read the same article I did? It was written by a women and the capitalizations were few and selective. She has one major conjecture:
35949
Notice Ambassador Stevens being carried by the barbarians…notice his right arm hanging down limp…now notice his bent left arm up by his face trying to either protect his face, cover his eyes, or even wipe tears from his eyes, but guess what…dead men do NOT wipe tears from their eyes nor do they try to cover their faces
You can see for yourself that his left bicep is flexed in this picture, not quite proving but lending credence to her conjecture that he was alive at this point, not dead from smoke inhalation.
My anger with the administration in this incident isn't that Ambassador Stevens died or how but that they were watching the fight for hours in the same Situation Room that Obama uses for photo ops but apparently did nothing for our people at the facility. I don't believe we let fellow Americans hang like that; I suspect people in the Situation Room feel the same way or we wouldn't have seen leaks about the fact they were watching live video for hours so soon after the incident. Unfortunately, "Benghazi Barry" and "Hillibya" don't flow off the tongue as smoothly as "Hanoi Jane".
