I agree with this. Barring new revelations, as always.
Benghazi is played out. No new information. The whole memo thing is a yawner.
AP supeoena, distasteful, but no law broken, thanks to Congress.
IRS. Other than our sense of fair play, exactly what law has been broken? I ask this seriously. The IRS is charged with evaluating these applications. Obviously they were being stupid about it. I suppose the free speech angle may have some legs, but it's not clear cut what the damages were.
Caveat: If Obama directed, or deliberately looked the other way from, the IRS scrutiny, then you have something Nixonian--but even then that's not what brought Nixon down. Currently, Obama's pretty well covered by the Reagan defense of ignorance.
