Is It Benghazi or Flint?

       The GOP has held more investigations into the Benghazi tragedy then I can count. Unfortunately or fortunately all have proven there to have been no American personal responsibility for the deaths of our three State Department leaders. No matter how hard they've tried to lay this at the feet of the former Secretary of State. But its good that there have been these in-depth investigations to resolve any question of impropriety, no matter continued attempts to find fault.
       My hope is that here at home in America, the same GOP will dig deeply into the Flint Michigan tragedy concerning the poisoning of the residents of that impoverished city. Its been pointed out that over 10,000 children will potentially face a life of diminished capabilities. How can our government spend so much time and money trying to blame one person for an attack by foreign terrorists and not expend an equal effort to bring to justice the perpetrators who caused this led exposure to the sufferers of that whole city.
       I understand it was not done intentionally, but it was caused by a poorly though out plan to save a relatively small amount of money without clearly understanding the potential risks. This is along a similar vein as the attempts to sully the previous Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton. Now, nobody is claiming this as an opportunity to get a Republican governor defeated in his next election as was the admitted case in several of the investigations of Clinton.
       The GOP has a responsibility not to appear improper. Thus far, the appearance of impropriety is still up for grabs. Now properly, the Flint situation has been handled by those institutions responsible for such investigation. Interestingly however there has been no outcry in either house of Congress. No Special House Committee on Flint. Doesn't that sound like a double standard? Perish the thought.
