"I know nothing"

This administration must be watching old reruns of Hogan's Heroes, especially Sargent Schultz and his favorite saying: "I know nothing".

With a trifecta of scandals consuming Washington the Obama regime is in full "I know nothing" mode. The temporary head of the IRS didn't know about the targeting of Conservative groups, the past head of the IRS didn't know, and the woman in charge of the Exempt Division of the IRS involved took the 5th amendment during hearings "on grounds that it may incriminate her"...hmm. During a press conference Obama was asked if anyone at the White House knew about the IRS scandal. His response: "I can tell you that I didn't know until I heard about the IG report". His law school training kicked in with a "non -answer" to the question. In fact it later came out that the White House Counsel and Obama's Chief of Staff knew about it and "claim" they didn't tell him.

No one at the top claims to know exactly what happened in Benghazi - Hillary didn't know and Obama didn't know; in fact most of the senior people involved say they didn't know.  One of Obama's senior advisers was asked repeatedly on the Sunday talk shows;:  "What was the President doing the night while our embassy was being attacked?" His response: "I don't know, and it is irrelevant"; sounds like Hillary's "What does it Matter".

Our Attorney general during a hearing regarding the wire tapping of email and phone calls of 20 AP lines involving 100 reporters responded over and over "I can't answer that, it was my deputy, so I don't know". Then it was revealed that he approved monitoring reporter James Rosen (and even his parents), on the basis of possibly violating the Espionage Act. This was after testifying under oath that he was never involved in the process of secretly monitoring the press.

Who is running this country?

These scandals are not going away. If the President were Republican the left wing media would be in full attack mode. But the DOJ attacking journalists seems to have triggered some real animosity toward this administration and it seems like the left media now wants some answers, and maybe even the "truth". The IRS scandal gets larger by the day starting with "two rogue agents in Cincinnati" and now possibly hundreds of agents involved including managers at high levels - the question, how high will this go?

These investigations will continue for weeks, probably months, so who knows what truths will come out. I am reminded of two proverbs: "Where there is smoke there is fire", or even more prophetic: "A fish rots from the head down".
