Happy Wednesday.

You're going to have to give me some leeway this morning. All of Obama's scandals are starting to blur together and I can't tell what is new and what is just being repeated, perhaps with different emphasis. I think this is all new stuff, but the problem with Obama is that there have been so many iterations of his scandals that it's not inconceivable that I've simply missed some.

First, the New Yorker expands on the DOJ vs. FNC scandal, reporting that DOJ seized phone records for additional Fox News phone lines as well as two phone lines at the White House.

Second, Fox News is reporting that military sources in Benghazi are saying that they have been forbidden from going after the perpetrators of the 9/11/12 attack, even though they know who the perpetrators are and, generally, where they are located.

And, finally, with respect to the IRS scandal, other media sources are beginning to notice that the Administration's attempt to minimize -- "it was just a field office in Cincinnati" -- is false: direction for the scheme to harass conservatives came from Washington, D.C.

Liberals tittering about Oklahoma's senators having to ask their colleagues to pass a bill for federal assistance in recovering from the Moore tornado will be disappointed to discovering that no such bill is necessary.

And this is breaking news, so take it with a grain of salt, but an FBI agent has reportedly shot and killed a friend of Tamerlan Tsarnaev in Florida.
