If Benghazi didn't stick during the election, it isn't going to stick now. The Republicans will back off when they realize they're spending all their political capital on something that's ultimately inconsequential to their agenda (e.g. when the budget fight kicks back in at the end of summer, Benghazi will melt away, at least until Clinton starts running for president)

Probably still not going anywhere in any meaningful sense, but it would actually be more likely to stick now because (a) there's more information available now, none of which is exculpatory for the administration, and (b) the media has less reason to run interference when there isn't an election looming. The press may be a little ticked about the AP thing, too, possibly even to the point of doing their jobs for a change just to fire a shot across the bow of the USS Obama.

pretty sure the press already does that, pretty much every single day.
Fox is still the press even though they say they're not, and there is plenty of media that scrutinizes him.

If it's ALL the press you are looking for to criticize him, maybe stop and ask "why does one half criticize him on everything, and the other half criticizes him on important matters that concern them, like the AP?"

Is it because they're all paid shills? Or because the shit fox likes to criticize him on is all rubbish, and this other thing is actually important?

It's funny how conservatives say that liberals are biased, yet several times, liberals have criticized some such direction or law, while the conservatives criticize every single thing. Maybe the liberals aren't so biased. Maybe we should be looking somewhere else to find the biases.

Fox would have me believe that the entire media is obama lovers, and biased shills. Occam's Razor would tell me that issues such as bengazi simply aren't a big deal to the press( or the majority of Americans for that matter; see: election 2012), and some other issues are.

Sometimes the little things become the big issues even when there are bigger fish to fry, but the problem is everyone has only so much energy, so much sway, hence "political capital."

Monica Lewinsky became a big stinking deal, but it was bad for the Republicans because it went nowhere and exhausted their capital.

Much the same could be said of Benghazi.
