Earlier today, CNN had a bombshell, reporting that dozens of CIA personnel were on the ground in Benghazi the night of the attack that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans, and the CIA is attempting to keep secret the reason they were all there.
Ace of Spades tweeted some observations about the latest addition to the “phony scandal” that is Benghazi:
The Administration sure seem to be going to extraordinary (and creepy) lengths to hush up what it casually calls a #PhonyScandal

It is monstrous that the US, once the most open society in the world, has become a Security state and not even for security but for politics

and shame upon those hyperpartisan monsters who wish to pretend this is all perfectly normal. It's not normal, and it's scary.

Indeed.
Ace then predicted the non-answers that might be offered at tomorrow’s White House press conference conducted by Jay “phony scandals” Carney:
Maybe we should play Shifty Evasion Bingo with the sot. "I'll refer you to…" "Obviously I cannot comment on an ongoing.." "#PhonyScandal"

"I can't answer a hypothetical, or, for that matter, a non-hypothetical"

"The president is working every day for The Middle Class and jobs"

"You're being silly, we should be focusing on the President's Greatest Hits Speech Tour"
— Everyone's Famous (@AceofSpadesHQ) August 1, 2013
"I'd refer you to the responsible parties in the Department of Mind Your Own Business"
— Everyone's Famous (@AceofSpadesHQ) August 1, 2013
"Because, Republicans"
"Because, Partisanship"

$50 says that Jay Carney gets all pissy tomorrow and tells a reporter "I'd refer you to MY ASS"

Finally, Ace hit on President Obama’s media strategy:
Obama's media strategy is that there should be no news except Obama Speeches.
— Everyone's Famous (@AceofSpadesHQ) August 1, 2013
That strategy isn’t going very well at the moment. Time for the White House to schedule more speeches!
