We may well be seeing impeachment proceedings soon, whether House GOP leadership wants it or not
— Greg Sargent (@ThePlumLineGS) May 13, 2013
Greg Sergeant is of course a zealous hack on behalf of Obama.
Regarding this latest scandal, let's not let AP jump to the head of the line on scandal investigations. As @drewmtips is pointing out (and as I mentioned in my article, obliquely), there may actual be justification here for finding a leaker, depending on what information the leaker actually compromised.
The Obama Administration has a lot of callow sissies in it who kind of get off on telling stories about CIA missions and SEAL operations. They think talking about men of action sort of makes them manly themselves. They don't seem to care that this behavior might put real men in jeopardy.
We saw this a lot with SEAL Team 6, as a bunch of Obama people (including, who knows, possibly Obama himself) could not wait to tell their Best Girfriends Forever in the media all this awesome boy-stuff the SEALs were doing!
Related: Obama says Republicans are making people cynical about government.
Ah yes. We're the ones doing that. Got it.

There will be no impeachment of Obama. The left wants to right to think there would be because it will be exactly the kind of drama to detract from culpability of Obama for ineptitude and malfeasance. Does that make sense? And if they try to run with impeachment it will still save Hillary.

They try it with everything, but any hint of scandal during GWB's years pale in comparison.
1. Benghazi - "But attacks on embassies BOOSH!" Except not on 9/11, in an active warzone, with a stand-down order, and not blaming an unrelated YouTube video.
2. IRS - "But churches targeted by BOOSH!" Yes, pastors getting in the pulpit and specifically telling their constituents to vote for John Kerry were targeted, since a church advocating for a candidate would be illegal. Not the IRS targeting people just based on phrases or political views.
The same is true of Fast & Furious, Solyndra, and all the other bullshit.
The only thing they do have a leg to stand on is this wiretapping of journalists, which the Bush people did do. But then I thought Our Lord and Savior had come to "change" Washington and bring "hope" to America?

Backwards Boy, this issue comes up so often I created a Notepad file just to copy/paste whenever it arises...but I haven't uploaded it yet to this new computer.
Impeachment is merely a set of charges, like an indictment. It is produced in the House, with a 50% + 1 vote needed to proceed to trial in the Senate.
In the Senate, a 2/3 vote is needed to convict on any given charge. Thus 67 votes are needed. Incidentally, none of the votes in the Senate to convict Clinton were even close.
Not even close.

"As @drewmtips is pointing out (and as I mentioned in my article, obliquely), there may actual be justification here for finding a leaker, depending on what information the leaker actually compromised."
Okay, so riddle me this. Why did the J.D. notify the AP on their snooping activities if they had actual justification? If the subpoenas were indeed acquired without notification to the AP, the (only) justifiable reason being that notification would jeopardize the investigation makes sense. So why tell the AP now? Is the J.D. required to notify them after the investigation is over? If that's the case then why do the AP peeps have their panties in a wad? Just mad that they've sucked every dick in the administration and got fucked in the ass?

They are callow sissies who get a stiffy talking about boy stuff.
They're also big projecters. They're the ones bringing up impeachment because this is what THEY would do. In fact, they would have done it, like, back in October if this was a Republican administration. Investigations would be well under way by now with multiple leaks and talk of frog-marching and heads-a-rolling all over Capitol Hill. Also, it allows them to control the narrative. (Impeachment talk is for weirdo right wingnuts. Let's talk about weirdo right wingnuts.)

Two years is a long time for any of these scandals to be investigated, and given the character Obama's shown, it's unlikely they are all completely unconnected to him. Plus Biden wouldn't exactly be an effective banner carrier for the commies for the duration of his stay in office. And Hillary 2016 gets scorched in the process.
Even if there's no actual impeachment vote, just the idea of it poisons the well for the rest of his time occupying the White House, and nothing more gets done. Which at this point is our optimal outcome.

Somehow I don't think it's just because the Republicans are hot on this sumbitches trail that people are "cynical about government". When you've got the Obamaturd raining scorn on bitter clingers and such--and talking out of two sides of his mouth whilst simulataneously blowing a whole bunch of smoke out of h is backside---well you'd have to be pretty danged dumb not to be cynical about Obama. Heckfire even the readers over at Reader's Digest just made Da Bamstuh the 65th most trustworthy man in America. I understand he came in way behind Rin Tin Tin and Lassy.
Fact of the matter is, if I was a girl--and I'm not--I'd trust Obama just about as much as I would trust the guy who tells me he'll "pull out in time". Ain't gonna happen.

Who the hell is Greg Sargent, anyway?
As to any illusions of impeachment, I can't believe anybody in here would be against it, if it were a viable possibility. If the last week has reminded us of anything, it is how profoundly corrupt Obama's administration is. Hell, maybe we can take heart that Nixon is being eclipsed. Sure, Clinton had a boatload of scandals, and was indisputably the most embarrassing President in history, but I don't think he had this level of corruption. He didn't have a sitting AG found in contempt of Congress, he didn't have a DHS (or equivalent) being sued by her employees for her asking them not to follow the law, or have recess appointment for a recess that didn't happen, or have a war without consent of Congress, ..., it just seems to go on and on.
To make impeachment a realistic possibility TFG's approval rating would have to plummet severely. That would take a lot of weeks like this one, where his former propaganda machine has suddenly decided to do their jobs for some reason. Who knows? Maybe this will snowball.
We're heading into more uncharted territory. How does a President function when the people KNOW he has lied to, and basically betrayed us (abandoning our people in a asinine attempt to cover-up a terrorist attack). He's still lying about it to our faces, just as he literally took out an ad to lie to our faces about "you didn't build that". People are finally noticing this one, though.

Remember, Zero is going to be around post-Preznitcy, running his mouth and generally being the low-level agitator he is. Three years of scandal, corruption and failure will destroy his rock star vibe and make him the butt of every joke. Think Carter and Nixon rolled into one.
Also, the game here is not to destroy the man, but the twisted ideology that spawned him. The only way you do that is to let events so thoroughly discredit his mal-Administration and belief system that it becomes abhorrent. Let these shitbags stew in that as they live on the ill gotten pensions we will be providing them.
