              The Wrap: From witness protection for terrorists to Obama’s Nixonian scandals, the week that was

              By The Washington Times

              The Obama administration found itself facing a series of scandals and it was revealed that the federal government gave witness protection to terrorists. On the international stage, the Russians sent more than a dozen warships to aid the Assad regime in Syria. Here’s a recap, or wrap, on the week that was from The Washington Times.

              By Tom Howell Jr. - The Washington Times

              An exasperated Rep. Pat Tiberi on Friday asked the former acting chief of the IRS to explain to Congress why he would move the leader of the division that targeted conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status to a branch that is overseeing one of the most partisan issues of recent memory — President Obama’s health care law.

              Benghazi: The anatomy of a scandal; how the story of a U.S. tragedy unfolded — and then fell apart

              By Rowan Scarborough - The Washington Times

              The tragedy of Benghazi, where a U.S. ambassador and three other Americans were killed, seemed a cut-and-dried story in the days after a mob attacked the State Department’s mission in eastern Libya. Today, the public knows that those early administration pronouncements were false.
