Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) appeared with Greta Van Susteren to talk about Obama’s reference to ‘phony scandals’ and said that the Obama administration is actually changing the names of Benghazi witnesses and scattering them across the country.

We’re still waiting for the Malik Obama angle to the IRS scandal to rear its head but so far, it hasn’t been brought up.

The ‘phony scandals’ line is still the proverbial burr under the saddle of non-mindless Americans but Obama also referred to the term ‘stale debates’ when referencing those scandals. Here is Obama on July 24 at his now infamous campaign speech as a second term president in a non-election year:
