Ho-Hum. Another scandal, or just the usual misuse of power we've come to ignore? "While the president of the United States can declassify top secret intelligence information on his own say-so, disclosing secret grand jury material is a different matter. Rule 6(e) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure clearly states: “… no person may disclose the indictment’s existence except as necessary to issue or execute a warrant or summons.’’ Of course, he's not just a "no person," he sees himself above all laws. A bad case of Caesarism. Don't look for his buddies at the DoJ to look into this. http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2013/08/09/in-misstep-obama-discusses-sealed-indictment-on-benghazi/

Murray sez:
Caesar ism is the perfect word to describe Obama's actions. I watched what they called a "Press Conference" yesterday and observed the press corp bounce soft questions off our dictator. It was if they excepted his description of the scandals as "phoney". So... as a result it turned out just to be another opportunity for Obama to give another speech.
